Chapter 28: Wake Up!

We were there for a few seconds, as not a single cat said a thing. I did not blame them either, as I could tell that none of them were sure what it was that they should say back to her. Owl and Silent looked at each other for a few moments until Owl then looked back over to Limp and shook his head at her.

"We found him under the rocks. The building collapsed on him, Im not sure what it wrong with him, I think he has a lot of broken bones, that is why we took him here." He said, as it was all that he needed to say to her as well.

He was not the cat that was the medicine cat, it was up to her to find out what was wrong with me, and how she should fix it too. She nodded to the both of them, as she was not sure what she should say back to them, which was more than likely the reason that she had asked that question in the first place.

I then saw her turn her head over to me, as she squinted her eyes at me at the same time as well. It was hard for me to look back at her, as my eyes, and my body just felt so drained, as it was hard for me to keep my head up with all the pain that I was in.

After her looking at me up and down for a few more seconds, she then turned her head over to the cats that were still holding me on top of their heads. I could tell that it was wearing on them a bit as well, with them just standing there. She nodded to the both of them, as she began to speak.

"Thank you for finding him, and bringing him back... I appreciate all of you. You all may leave now, I need to be alone to focus and help him." She said to the both of them. They both nodded to her, then they looked at each other, as they began to slowly lower me to the ground.

Once I was safely on the ground, they then nodded to me, to make sure that I was okay. I was not okay physically, but that was not their fault, so I just nodded wincing a bit at the same time at the fact that I had even moved my body to do so.

They did not seem to notice it though, as they both nodded back to me, and then they began to slowly walk out of the den, looking back a couple of times, just to make sure that I was okay. Once they were out, Limp then came up close to me.

I looked at her for a few moments, as I could tell that she was looking up and down her body at the exact same time. From the look on her face, it did not look like I was in a very good condition. I was definitely not going to be able to go over to the island for the meeting between the clans, that was for sure.

I just was more worried at this point, if I was ever going to be able to be fixed to walk ever again. I had been told a story from Jayfeather, about a cat that had been crushed by a tree, and how it could never walk again on its back legs. I shivered thinking about that as well, as it seemed as if he had told me that story just to prepare me.

I stared at the ceiling above me for just a few moments, and then I turned my head back over to Limp, as it hurt me just to even move my head around. I looked at her dead in her eyes, as she stopped looking around my body, noticing the look that I was giving her, as she then waited for me to go ahead and speak.

"How badly am I hurt... Am I going to be paralyzed?" I asked her. She looked at me for just a few moments, right into my eyes, as it was hard for me to read into them. It seemed as though she was the only cat that it was hard for me to do that to as well.

She then turned her head around, and began to look across my body at the same time, as it seemed as though she was not sure how to answer the question that I had just asked her quite yet. She stared it down for a few more seconds, before she then turned her head back to me, and she began to speak to me.

"Move your body around... If you cannot feel it, than you will be, but if you can than I will answer that question." She said to me. I looked at her for a few more moments, and then I nodded to her at the same time. I then looked down below to see my body.

It seemed as though I could not feel any of it, nor could I move any of it either, and all the pain was on my head, and on my neck. That was why I was so worried about it in the first place. I closed my eyes for just a few seconds, before I then actually began to try and move it.

I stuttered for just a couple of seconds, but then my legs began to shake, and they began to move around just a little bit. But also I felt a ton of pain as I tried to do that, and I put out a sharp meow when I did, and then I looked at Limp, not sure what to do next.

She looked at where I had moved my body for just a couple of moments, and then she nodded to herself, making sure that she had in fact seen me move my body just the slightest bit. She then looked back over to me, and then she began to speak to me.

"You are not paralyzed, but you may have suffered some nerve damage in your body." She said to me. I looked at her for just a few moments, and I squinted my eyes at her, a fair bit confused as to what she had meant by that.

I had never heard anything like that from Jayfeather, on the time that I had spoken to him, but she had said it like it was completely normal. I made sure that she knew that I was confused at what she had been saying, as she nodded for me to go ahead and speak.

"What does that mean? I was not told about that from Jayfeather." I asked her. She looked at me for a few moments, rolling her eyes, not so much at me, but more at something else. As she closed her eyes at the same time, thinking of how it was that she was going to explain it to me.

She knew that I would listen, and that I would understand what she was saying, much unlike other cats that asked her questions like those, so I knew that she was not all that worried about any of that mess. She then opened her eyes back at me, as she then began to explain it to me, making sure that I was listening.

"Its what makes your body work, and function... That is the best way of explaining it to you... Sorry, I am just so used to speaking on things like this to Jayfeather." She said to me. I looked at her, and then nodded, understanding what she was getting at.

I then closed my eyes, getting a bit worried even more, by each passing moment. I sat there for just a few moments, as I then thought of something to say back to her, trying not to freak out too much at the same time as well. She looked at me, hearing what it was that I was saying.

"So does that mean my body will not be okay permanently?" I asked her at the same moment. She looked at me for just a few moments, as she then closed her eyes as well. She closed her eyes quite a bit hard as well, as it was clear to me that she was thinking quite a bit as to what should be the next words to come out of her mouth.

After a few moments, she then opened her eyes at me. She then nodded to me, as it seemed as though all of my worst fears were all coming true. How was I going to be a leader of my clan if I could never walk again? I began to freak out, as it seemed as though I was about to have a panic attack.

It was starting to get a bit hard for me to breath in the room. As it seemed as though my vision was starting to get a bit faint. Her face began to get a bit darker and darker at the same moment, as I wondered if maybe I was dying... Maybe that was the way things were meant to go...

I tried to keep my eyes opened, but it was all just too hard for me, as I then fainted, and my head fell down to the floor, as that was the last thing that I seemed to remember.

It was dark around me, and I heard voices speaking to me. I was not sure if I was in a dream, or if I had just woken up or not. I looked around me, as I was a bit scared, and I was not quite sure as to what it was that was going on at the moment.

It was all just so dark, and it looked a bit scary, that was what was around me. It was not dark in the fact that I could not see anything, as far as I could see, there was a bit of fog that was in front of me. I squinted my eyes at the same time as well, as it seemed to help me see at the same time.

I then realized that I was outside, but what I saw around me did not seem like it was my normal Windclan territory. I sniffed the air, as I realized that I was in fact not in Windclan at all, as I smelt the nasty smell of Riverclan scent all over me.

I wondered why I was here, and what was going on. I sat there for just a few moments, as it seemed as though I saw something move in front of me at the same time as well. It looked like a cat, but it was just a slight bit too dark for me to see what it was.

I began to walk towards it, as it seemed as though it was moving further and further away from me. I tried to move a bit quicker, but just as I did so at the same time, my body seemed to collapse on me, just as it had been doing before I had gotten into this dream.

I sat there for a few moments, watching the cat go further and further away from me, as I now felt helpless, as I knew there was nothing I could do to try and see what it was. I stared for just a few moments longer, as it then disappeared into the darkness.

I sat for a bit longer too, as I then realized that I had my hands in some water. It was quite cold water as well, as I stared at it, a bit confused, as it seemed as though it was telling me something. The water then began to turn a bit brownish and greenish.

I then pulled my hand out of the water, as it seemed like it was nasty water. I then looked around me at the same time, as it seemed even with the fog around me, it was beginning to get a little bit easier to see all of what was around me.

I then realized where I was at, as I then wind that was in the air began to fly making it feel just a bit colder. I saw that I was at one of the rivers that led to the lake. As I shook my paw off to get the water out of it at the same time as well.

I then saw the cat that was ahead of me, all the way over at the lake. The cat seemed a bit familiar as well, but it was too far away to notice if I knew who exactly it was that I was looking at in the first place.

As I saw it for a bit longer, I noticed that it was on the lake in fact, but not just that, the lake was completely frozen as ice. I began to walk over to the cat, as I wanted to see what it was like to walk on ice as well. Just as I was getting closer, I heard a voice, as what seemed like was all around me then begin to speak.

"Wake up Moon!" I heard quite a familiar voice yell into my ears. I looked around a bit confused where it was coming from. I then blinked, and it was the last thing that I had seen in this dream.

I opened my eyes, a bit confused as to what it was that I had just seen. As I saw that there were a few cats in front of me, and my vision was a bit to blurry to see at the moment. I then closed my eyes once again, as I had a terrible headache, and badly wanted to fall back to sleep. Then I heard the same voice yell loudly again.

"Moon! Wake up!"
