[WindClan Camp][Medicine den] Coughing

Today was one of those days Carrotkit felt adventurous. Er… Honestly, pretty much every day Carrotkit felt adventurous. The only difference was that today she decided to go to a place she’d never been before in her short life. Okay. Okay. Again, that was something she did pretty much every day. The Windclancamp was big, at least to Carrot, and there was always something new to discover. There were still some places she had not yet seen, such as the Leader’s Den and – and that was where she was heading to now – the Medicine Cat’s Den. It wasn’t only because she was looking for an adventure she decided to go to the Den. It was also because her front paw hurt a little. Yep, only a teeny little bit. It probably was a little thorn that had found its way to her soft paws, or something like that, and her mother Icyrose would be perfectly able to help her daughter as well, but Carrot felt that if she now finally had an excuse to enter the Medicine Cat’s Den.

Anyway, to keep it short and simple: Carrotkit was not only on her way to the Medicine Cat’s Den to ask the Medicine Cat to look at her paw, but also to just take a look at the Den, which had always been a mystery to the young Carrot.

So, now that’s cleared up, we can get back to where we found Carrotkit in the first place: on her way to the Den. One would not say her paw ached, when you saw her skipping towards the Medicine Cat’s Den. Her orange-colored tail swayed merrily behind her. It was one of those things about Carrotkit that immediately took your attention, that swaying tail. No wonder she was named after it. When she finally reached the Den, which was safely put a little remote from the rest of the camp, she hesitated for a short second. Then she entered the Den. It was dark in here, but Carrotkit’s eyes managed to acclimatize quickly and she soon discovered a white cat, lying there, coughing. Slowly Carrot walked towards the female cat. She wasn’t sure if she was allowed to get this close to a sick cat, but she was agog and since there was no one around (at least, to her knowing) to stop her from getting closer, she carefully approached.

‘H-hi there,’ she said softly, for speaking out loud seemed to be out of place. ‘Are you all right?’ Well, of course she wasn’t all right, otherwise she wouldn’t have been here, but Carrotkit didn’t mean to be vile or just plain stupid, she meant to be nice and friendly and that’s exactly how she sounded, when she got even closer to the coughing female.
