Chapter Two

Gingerkit sat alone in the dim overhang of a thin fern leaf. Her siblings were practicing their attacking moves, giggling and pawing playfully at each other. Sighing, she curled up in the nest of dead leaves. Somehow she didn't find fighting fun. Hunting, maybe, but fighting? Just not what she wanted to do. How will I ever become a warrior? She thought hopelessly, letting her chin sink into the mossy earth beneath her.

Suddenly, Bluegaze passed by, but after noticing the lonely Gingerkit she veered and padded over. Crouching down to size, she gazed into Gingerkit's motionless expression. Gingerkit glanced up at the beautiful medicine cat.

Bluegaze blinked, her lashes long and lovely. "Gingerkit," She purred, "I need some help with sorting some herbs I gathered earlier this morning."

Gingerkit saw where this was going, but she let Bluegaze continue, clinging onto every word of her heavenly, flowing voice.

"I was wondering if you'd like to assist me with my duties."

Grateful, a grin leaked onto Gingerkit's furry face. "Oh, of course Bluegaze!" She mewed, elated to be serving this elegant medicine cat. Bluegaze's eyes seemed to laugh as Gingerkit bounded over to the medicine cat den.

The medicine cat den was built in a small alcove lined with tall, shiny boulders. Daisies danced around the boulders. Inside was even more glamorous. There were herbs neatly stacked in the cracks of cave, not a single herb out of place. In a small area fenced by tiny pebbles were plently of mossy beds for sick cats to rest in. It smelled of roses and honey, and Gingerkit inhaled deeply, surveying her dazzling surroundings. She couldn't think of another place any better than there.

Bluegaze saw Gingerkit's awakening curiosity. "Lovely, isn't it?" She sighed. Gingerkit nodded, still stunned. A little pile of burdock root and poppy seeds lay stacked in the center.

"Well then, let's get to work!" Bluegaze shuffled over to the pile and picked up some burdock root in her mouth.

"Now, burdock root is used for infections. If a cat ever came to me with a scratch or scar that was infected, we'd use this to cure it. You crunch with your teeth to make a pulp-" She chewed some of the root up and spit it out to show the curious kit. "And you gently massage it into the infected area." Gently shoving a root at Gingerkit, she purred, "Now you try."

Carefully, Gingerkit nibbled the burdock, and was surprised by the intriging taste it gave her tongue. She spit it onto the cave ground. Curiously, it was a pulp. "Did I do it right?" Gingerkit questioned, suddenly excited.

Bluegaze beamed. "You did that beautifully." She nuzzled the proud kit's flank. Gingerkit blushed.

Suddenly, a cat sped out of the clan entrance, gasping. It was Snakestripe.
"Snakestripe, what has happened?" Cloudstar asked, alarmed.
Snakestripe gulped. "Bristlepaw is dead!" He rasped.

BY THE WAY, I I WILL MAKE UP SOME OF TEH HERBS AND USES AND STUFF CUZ I DONT KNOW ALL OF THEM! :D LIKE BURDOCK ISNT USED FOR INFECTIONS. ;D
