Icestar looked at her medicine cat and then blinked slowly. "Thunderpaw, get Quietshadow," she told him softly.
She closed her eyes and let out a deep breath. And then said nothing else.
Redwind watched Quietshadow get across the river and then turned to Owlspot. "Lets get out of here, before we get shocked." she told him, worried.
Browntail listened to Redwind, mad that she was in love and he didn't quite find the cat yet. "Lets go," he hissed. He walked up to Jaystar, offering his shoulder.

"I'm right here, Icestar," Quietshadow meowed. He turned to Thunderpaw. "Get Larchpaw," he commanded.
"Ugh. Just one thing after another." Thunderpaw padded off in search of his brother. "Larchpaw! Quietshadow needs you 'cause Icestar just got zapped by a bolt of lightning!"
Rockfang padded calmly along. She lengthened her stride to keep pace with Redwind at the back of the patrol. "Some day, huh?" she asked.

Larchpaw scampered over to Quietshadow. "I'm not sure what you do for that Quietshadow" He meowed awkwardly. "It's not every day a cat gets struck by lightening"

Quietshadow nodded. "I haven't seen a case of it myself, but I know what we'll need. I just want you to run to my den and get some poppyseeds, chamomile, and aloe vera. Poppyseeds are small and round, chamomile are small white flowers with a large yellow center, and aloe vera is a long-leafed plant with spikyish edges. Bring them to me in a leaf, please."

Icestar gasped for breath and closed her eyes slowly. She was also started to stop breathing. Then she let out another gasp. "Help, hurry," she meowed.
Stormcloud ran into camp looking for his mate. "Icestar, Icestar," he meowed once he saw he on the ground. Her fur was burnt, blackened even more, and fried. "What happened?" he whispered. "What happened?" he meowed once more, a little more loudly, he was looking at the medicine cat.

Larchpaw nodded "Yes Quietshadow" He meowed and ran back to the medicine cat's den. Larchpaw padded back with the correct herbs organized in a single leaf. "Here" He set the leaf down by his mentor and leader.

"Thank you, Larchpaw," Quietshadow meowed. He placed the leaf down in front of Icestar and removed the aloe vera leaves. "Eat these. The poppy is for the pain, while the chamomile is for the shock. Not shock as in lightning shock, but shock as in what the strike did to your body. It will basically help you relax. The aloe is for the burns and it'll be applied topically. Stormcloud, Larchpaw, you can help me there. Take a leaf, squeeze it, and then spread the juice over her burns." He slipped a few leaves to each of the other toms and used his paws to squeeze out the aloe before carefully rubbing it over the burnt patches of Icestar's pelt. "Oh, and by the way, Icestar was up on the Highrock when a bolt of lightning hit her."

Icestar nodded and lapped up the herbs. She chewed then licked her muzzle. She laid her head back onto the ground. Her eyes closed. Stormcloud's eyes filled with anger. "And your calm about this?" he spat. "Your leader almost died! And your calm!" he spat at the medicine cat.
He turned away and looked at his paws. "I don't want to loose her," he whispered, under his breath.

Larchpaw flicked his tail becoming impatient with Icestar. "But you didn't die" He pointed out, hoping he didn't speak out of turn.
Hazelwing, after searching for days, finally found the Beachclan camp. His old home. He padded in, his scar on his eye glimmering in the sunlight. He narrowed his eyes and examined the camp. Nothing much had changed, he wondered if any cat remembered him. Hazelwing cleared his throat "Is a warrior named Deadwhisker still here?" He padded up to a crowd of cats that appeared to be the medicine cat and it's apprentice. Larchpaw stared in awe. This strange cat looked exactly like Deadwhisker, right down to the 'v' shape cut in his ear. "Quietshadow-look" He whispered so the other cat couldn't hear.

Stormcloud looked at the tom. "Hazelwing?" he asked. "Is that you? I Haven't seen you since when you left for that battle." he told him.
"What happen to you?" he asked.
"What's all the meowing going on?" Silentstep hissed as she walked out of the elder's den. "Hazelwing!" she meowed. She raced up to the tom and touched noses to him. "Stormcloud, surprised you remeber him," she told him. "Well, I'm good with memories," he purred.

"Stormcloud! Silentstep!" Hazelwing purred with delight. He looked up and around the camp. "But where's my brother? You know, Deadwhisker" He asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Coppertail, who was trying to calm the camp after Icestar's accident, was struck by another problem: Hazelwing had wandered into camp. Stormcloud and Silentstep appeared to recognise the cat and for a moment Coppertail had too. In a break in the clouds, when the sun hit Hazelwing's pelt, the tom looked just like Deadwhisker. Deadwhisker....? But Cactus killed him! Coppertail rushed forward his pelt tingling all over. "Who is this?" he asked," Were you once in BeachClan too?"

"He was and I thought he still is," he told Coppertail. "He was an apprentice with me," he told him. "Umm Hazelwing, I have bad news and I couldn't believe it either." he began. "But Deadwhisker died in battle," he mumbled, he looked at his paws. "I'm sorry," Stormcloud meowed.
"Me too," Silentstep whispered. She pressed her pelt against his.

"He's dead?!" Hazelwing's eyes narrowed. "I'm the only one left . . ." His voice trembeled "Rosepetal died not too long ago too. . .she was our sister" Hazelwing lowered his head. "May I join this clan again?" He suddenly asked.

"Hello," Quietshadow meowed. "I haven't seen you in ages. How have you been?" He slightly turned his head away to face Stormcloud and hissed politely, "Unless something goes horribly wrong, Icestar won't die. She still has seven of her lives left and this lightning strike can't be too serious. It's painful and infection can set in, but it probably won't be fatal. Jaystar didn't die--well, not completely--at the battle when Burntstar sliced his flank open."

"Who is this - Jaystar cat anyway?" Hazelwing tilted his head. /I can't believe Deadwhisker's dead/ he thought, devastated. "I can't be the last in my entire family- - I just can't" Hazelwing sputtered.

Lightstream scampered back into the camp, carrying a vole and two mice. She'd taken the time to hunt after the search for Quailkit, and as she noticed the commotion she began to wonder if it had been the best idea. Upon seeing Hazelwing's tabby pelt, she dropped her fresh-kill. Deadwhisker? But isn't he... Wait a minute. She dashed around, trying to get a better view of the cat. "Hazelwing?" She meowed, astonished and confused. She glanced around the clearing until she found her brother's dark pelt, and looked at him questioningly, hoping he'd come over and explain. However, Duskfur simply turned away, as if he weren't interested. Hmph. Lost in his own thoughts, I bet. Not like he'd say anything to me anyway. Catching sight of Icestar on the ground injured, she finally blurted out, "What in the name of StarClan is going on here?"

"I'm so sorry," Coppertail meowed to Hazelwing," He died for a good cause though. We won the battle and Burntstar was defeated. BeachClan is safe." Coppertail couldn't help but feel slightly responsible for Deadwhisker's death. He had randomly joined the Clan, made deputy over Deadwhisker, led them into battle and did nothing when his rogue grandfather slaughtered the tom. "I should've killed Cactus when I had the chance," he meowed quietly.

Emberlight tried to burst into camp, but ended up forcefully shoving herself in. Maybe it is time to move to the Nursery... She glanced back at Brightsoul, and spotted Coppertail with Silentstep...and Deadwhisker. But he's dead! She waddled over to Coppertail, looking at the tom that was like a replica of Deadwhisker. Hazelwing! "Coppertail, Brightsoul's back. I found her in the Crop Field." She looked around for Duskfur, but when she didn't see him, her shoulders sagged a little. Now nobody would tell her what was going on.

Brightsoul slowly padded into the BeachClan camp and over to Emberlight. She glanced around. So many familiar cats and so many not. I wonder if anybody remembers me. She again glanced around. What is up with all of this commotion? Many things must have happened since I have been gone. "What's happening?" She finally meowed.
Sandkit yawned, she had just woken up. She stood up and stretched. She could hear noise and meows coming from outside the nursery. I can't wait until I become an apprentice, and my ceremony isn't that far off either. Once I become an apprentice I can join in on the commotions that keep on happening around here. She padded over to the entrance of the nursery and glanced around outside. She stopped when her gaze hit who was standing next to Emberlight. Is that?.... No, it can't be.... can it? She stayed where she was at. She wasn't sure if she should walk over there or not. Should I, maybe?

Coppertail turned to Emberlight as she approached him. "Brightsoul? Back from where?" he meowed in confusion. He turned to examine the she-cat behind her, the rogue scent washing over him. His pelt birstled instinctively, amber eyes showing hostility. "Is there anymore cats you haven't told me about?" he cried. He was meant to be the deputy of BeachClan but so far three cats had turned up claiming to be BeachClan warriors. Everyone recognised them and celebrated their return, apart from him. How could he celebrate the return of someone he didn't even know? He knew nothing about BeachClan's history. "Okay, everyone. Icestar was hurt in the storm so I'm in charge. We need cats to check the dens for damage and I will chat to Hazelwing and Brightsoul."

"Brightsoul!" Stormcloud purred, "I haven't seen you since we were apprentice's."
Icestar went to stand up. She was able to get up but lost her balence. "Tipical," she hissed quietly.
"Who-o-o are these cats?" she asked. Her vision was a little bad from the lightening, but it should get better. "It's Brightsoul and Hazelwing!" Silentstep purred.
Icestar didn't quite remember. "Oh, Deadwhisker's brother and Brightsoul," she meowed. The black leader was a little confused and looked at Coppertail. "Should they stay?" she asked.

Emberlight glanced around and finally spotted Duskfur. She waddled over to him. "Guess what, Brightsoul and Hazelwing are back! Isn't that great?" She looked at him a moment, before sitting down and licking her paw. "I don't see why you can't be friendly to your Clan. You're always off on your own. Come on Duskfur! Your Clan's your family. And you never speak to Lightstream. She's your sister!"

Icestar over heard the mates talking. She didn't quite yet hear a reply from Duskfur, she was a bit worried about hearing he's never talking to his sister, she feals the same about her two kits.
She shrugged and headed for Quietshadow's den.

Duskfur closed his eyes and sighed as Brightsoul arrived alongside his mate. Oh, not another one! That's, what, three this moon? All of a sudden, all these warriors the clan had thought to be lost forever had suddenly reappeared, and Duskfur didn't like it. He glanced over at Coppertail and smiled a little - the deputy didn't seem to like it either. He'd maybe talk with him sometime. He looked into Emberlight's eyes and was about to respond when he heard his sister's voice behind him. "Duskfuuuur! Is something going on?"
Duskfur gritted his teeth.
"Oh, wait a minute!" Lightstream whispered. "You're gonna be the father of Emberlight's kits, right? Right?
"Could you please let us talk in private?" Duskfur hissed.
"But you do everything in private!"
Duskfur ignored her. "Come on, Emberlight. Coppertail said to check the dens for damage." He stood up.

Emberlight sighed and heaved herself up. "Bye, Lightstream." She padded away with Duskfur. "I think it's time I move into the Nursery, don't you? It's getting harder and harder to move around these days. And I'm not helping the Clan. I can't hunt. I scare away all the prey." She stopped. She looked at her mate thoughtfully. "Duskfur, everytime we're around the Clan you act like I'm just another one of them. But I'm not. I'm your mate. You shouldn't ignore me. I should be special. I'm having your kits, for StarClan's sake! Can't you lighten up?"

Stormcloud looked at Coppertail. "I'm sorry this is all my fault. You can kick me out of the clan. Icestar is hurt and I just want to say good-bye if so," the black and white tom meowed.
Wow, is it just me or am I bad luck! he thought, worried.

"No. It's not your fault Stormcloud!" Coppertail hurriedly meowed, "I'm just frustrated that's all."
He quickly glanced around the camp searching for some free warriors. The only one he could see was Lightstream and he was kind of hoping she would be free to go hunting with him later. He sighed.
"Stormcloud, can you take Hazelwing and Brightsoul to see Quietshadow and Larchpaw? Lightstream, can you fetch Sandkit? If someone could see where Tigerstripe, Basilwing and the others are, that would be great. I need to know how many patrols have been out. I better go check up on Icestar." Why is this job so hard? I wish I could have a break...

"Okay!" Lightstream meowed to the deputy, giving him a quick nod before bounding over to the nursery, where she found the cream-and-brown kit standing at the entrance. "Sandkit! Sandkit! Guess who's here!" She called. "Oh, and I think Coppertail wants to see you. Come on!" She turned around, looking quickly down at her paws as she spied Duskfur and Emberlight moving toward the dens. That mouse-brain... He'll open up to her completely, yet won't even talk to me, his own sister. Is he embarrassed to be related to me or something? She glanced back at Sandkit, and smiled.
Once he was sure he was out of the hearing range of the rest of the Clan, Duskfur turned to his mate with a sigh. "I do think you're special, Emberlight. It's just that, well - I'm scared of standing out, you know?" He shuffled his paws around on the ground. "I already kinda stand out a bit, and, well..." He paused, shook his head, and smiled. "You know, maybe you should move into the nursery soon. How long do you think it'll be before the kits are born?"

Emberlight perked up. "Soon, that's all I know. I understand not wanting to stand out, I really do." She stopped. "Alright, which den shall we start with? Warriors' den or Nursery?"
