Lightningstar effortlessly carried the young she-cat in his mouth to the Medicine cat's den. He placed her in her nest, where the Apprentice Medicine Cat slept. It kind of amused him that Ferntail was older than Icetail, but Ferntail did train as a warrior first. "Icetail?" He called out. "Ferntail isn't feeling well." Which was quite a understatement. She had collapsed while hunting,.

Icetail came over to the leader and her apprentice. "What's wrong with her?" she asked, examining Ferntail.

"She said she went out hunting, then when she didn't come back, I went to look for her," Lightningstar said worridly. "She was lying on the grass, near camp when I found her. But I'm sure you'd find out what's wrong," He said, having no doubt in the young cat. He turned, and left.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Ferntail mewed quietly to her mentor, and best friend as her leader had left. She had just came to her senses. "I tried! Really, I did!" She mewed, tears were rapidly blinked away.

Icetail looked at Ferntail, her face showing a completely confused and bewildered look. "What are you sorry for Ferntail? And what did you try to do? You seem a bit panicky, are yo alright, or is something wrong?" she asked, looking at the older she-cat.

"I don't deserve to be a medicine cat apprentice! I don't deserve to even be a warrior of this Clan!" Ferntail cried in a whisper. "After this, no one will trust me anymore, no one! Lightningstar will banish me, and everything!"

Still confused, Icetail stepped closer and sat down, her misty blue eyes watching intently. "Ferntail, what's wrong? You obviously did something, though I have no clue what it is."

Ferntail shut her eyes tightly. In a small whisper, she said, "Please, Icetail, promise me. Promise me not to tell anyone what I'm about to say to you." She opened her eyes that were filled with a mixure of fear, confusion, and a sense of loss. "Please promise me."

Icetail looked around for a moment, making sure nobody was around. Her misty blue gaze looking down upon Ferntail, she nodded, whispering, "I promise, I won't tell. Whatever you say is between yourself and me, and will be kept secret."

Her eyed glazed over, and she looked away. "I-I'm having kits." She said in a barely audible voice. Ferntail's tail curled around her paws as she avioded her younger mentor's eyes.

"Y-you are?" Icetail asked, a bit dazed by the news. "Well, uh... Ferntail, you don't need to be sorry, I don't think at least. You haven't been training as a medicine cat for long, it must have happened before." she mewed quietly, staring down in concentration at her silvery white paws.

"It happened after I was apprenticed," Ferntail said, closing her eyes tightly. She opened them slowly. "I don't deserve to be a Medicine, nor a Clan cat for the matter," Ferntail cried quietly. Was it wrong to love? Perhaps for her path in life, it was.

Sighing, Icetail said, "Well, I guess... I guess I can't blame you completely. You haven't been training as a medicine cat for very long, you haven't had to stick to the code all of your life." Her misty blue eyes looking around again, she asked, "May I ask...who's the father?"

"Please," Ferntail began, eyes pleading. She shifted her paws, and continued."I can't tell you; I promised not to tell."

Sighing, Icetail said, "Fine, if you don't want to tell me, I guess you don't have to. But I don't plan on telling anyone if you do, and if I knew I could try and help you figure things out." The young she-cat was a bit curious, though if Ferntail didn't want to tell, then she wouldn't make her.

"Thanks, Icetail. You're the best friend any cat could have," Ferntail whispered, licking Icetail affectionately across the ears. She sighed. Life used to be soooooo simple....
