Stealthfire was in the clearing licking her fur clean. She had come back from a patrol and was cleaning up the snow from her pelt. She was a little chilled but figured in a few minutes that she would go warm up in the den. Stealthfire walked over and got shrew from the fresh kill pile when she was finished. The she-cat took it into the warrior's den and began to eat.

The gray warrior also drifted into sleep after she disposed of the remains to her food. Stealthfire licked her lips and slowly closed her eyes. She slept soundly and woke up the next morning. It was beautiful outside other than the coldness. She streched and saw that Amberleaf had slept next to her the whole time. She smiled to the sleeping warrior and walked out into the clearing.

Amberleaf woke up feeling cold. She rolled over and opened her eyes. She saw that Stealthfire was no longer there, and she stood up, only to start feeling dizzy and fall back down again. Suddenly she started coughing. When she finally stopped, she felt glum. I must have greencough, she thought. She tried to call to Mysticpool, but her voice wouldn't obey her. She tried again, and this time she managed a hoarse croak. Once again she tried to call, and a mew came out of her throat. "Mysticpool! I have greencou-"Amberleaf broke off coughing.

Stealthfire heard her and came into the den. "Amberleaf? Oh you are sick, hang on, I'll get Mysticpool," she said. The gray she-cat ran off and found the tortoiseshell medicine cat. She was grooming her fur when Stealthfire came up. She looked up and stopped cleaning herself.
"Is something wrong Stealthfire?" she asked concerened.
She looked gravely at Mysticpool and replied, "It's Amberleaf, she's sick." The two hurried off to the warriors den once again.

Pridehunt awoke as the others seemed to have something going on. It was cold and he had decided to sleep outside the night before. Walking towards the den, he looked inside and towards Amberleaf. His tail flipped as his lion looks ran over him, teeth showing over his lower lip. Claws dug into the dirt as he could sense something very wrong with his Deputy.
"Amberleaf, what is wrong?" Pridehunt asked, his hard eyes glaring into Amberleaf's. He then looked over his shoulder to see Mysticpool and Stealthfire running up. He nodded a welcome to them as he took a side step.

Mysticpool came over to the deputy Amberleaf. She was really concerned about her and slowed down as she reached the entrance to the den. The medicine cat took a good look at the coughing cat and said, "Your on the verge of getting greencough, but don't have it quite yet. This is the first stage, whitecough. I think you should come stay at my den so it doesn't spread to the others and I'll get you some herbs."
Stealthfire was listening closely. She was interested in the work of medicine cats and wanted to make sure Amberleaf was okay. The warrior backed out of the way and offered to help Amberleaf to the medince cat den.

Hearing the news, Pridehunt shook his head. Once again Greencough was coming through. At least there was a medicine cat, correct? Knowing this, he knew he probably would not get a reply as he looked towards them after having looked away as if in deep thought. Shaking his head once more, he sat down but a few feet from the three.

Amberleaf was escorted to the medicine cat den and Stealthfire left the scene. Mysticpool gathered herbs. She looked around and found poppy seeds and chickweed. The she-cat looked at Amberleaf and asked, "Does your throat hurt? I have some honey to sooth it."

Amberleaf nodded her head, too tired to speak. She watched Pridehunt. Her leader seemed without emotion. She closed her eyes. She wondered how she had come down with whitecough. If this was whitecough, greencough must be horrible. She wondered if she might die. Not wanting to think about such a horrible prospect, she pushed the thought out of her mind. She let out a sigh and fell asleep.

When Amberleaf awoke, she was alone in Mysticpool's den. She felt much better, but she still felt tired, too. She raised her head and let out a hacking cough. She attempted to struggle to her feet, but she collapsed on her side again, panting heavily. Determined, she pushed herself up into a sitting position. Then she slowly got to her feet. She tried to walk, but only got one wobbly step before falling. She was disgusted with herself. She might have been a newborn kit just learning to walk, for all the good she was doing. Frustrated, Amberleaf collapsed again. She closed her eyes and imagined herself racing through the forest, a race without limits...

Mysticpool poked her head into the den. It looked as if Amberleaf was sleeping. She didn't want to disturb her just yet, although it was time for her to recieve more ckickweed. Mysticpool walked around Amberleaf to the herb stocks to pick it up and placed it in front of her. 'She'll eat it when she wakes up I suppose,' she thought.

Amberleaf opened her eyes. She felt a bit better after her nap, but she still felt sick. She suddenly noticed some herbs in front of her. She hesitated, but gulped them down. They tasted horrible. She made a face, and managed to pull herself into a sitting position.
