Ivypelt backed away, confused. "I...I-"

Shadowstar padded back to camp.

Ivypelt stumbled behind her leader. "What about Thornwhisker?"

"He'll be stuck on elder tick duty and cleaning for moons." said Shadowstar. "Twotail's going to do some spy work for me."

(Thornwhisker's kinda unconscious right now and can't walk. )

"Spy? What for?" she whispered. "I thought we were at peace!"

"To make sure nobody is planning an attack. In case Cloudberry's 'prophecy' is real. I can't take any chances." said Shadowstar.

"I think you're overreacting," Ivypelt soothed. "Spying? Why not increase patrols and such?"

"I'm doing that too." said Shadowstar

Ivypelt rested her silver tail on Shadowstar's shoulder. "You can't expect to know the answer right away. Maybe StarClan will visit you, or something. But I'm not too enthusiastic about spying. What if another Clan catches Twotail?"

"Twotail can handle himself." said Shadowstar.

"Fine then. What about the Clan? Surely the Clan needs a deputy around and not spying? You can't expect to do all of his duties and yours by yourself," she coaxed.

Shadowstar frowned. "You can help."

Ivypelt was stunned. "Me? Oh, no, Shadowstar. I am not meant for leadership. I can't order all these cats around. I haven't even had my first apprentice!"

Shadowstar flicked his tail. "Of course you can, Irisheart can help too. You won't do that alone."

"But, but I-" Ivypelt gazed into Shadowstar's warm gaze and gave in. "Well, I suppose if Irisheart helped too..."

"Thank you." said Shadowstar.

"Anything for you," she purred.

Thornwhisker's vision was blurry and filled with black dots.

Twotail poked Thornwhisker. "Wake up."

Thornwhisker groaned. His muscles were screaming in pain, and his nose felt very odd...

Shadowfrost sighed and looked around but winced suddenly

Ivypelt pelted into the camp, new excitement flowing through her muscles, giving them new-found energy.

Shadowfrost glanced at the camp entrance as Ivypelt raced through it. "Hi." She said to her, but winced again

Ivypelt looked at Shadowfrost, her crystal-blue eyes full of worry. "You alright?"

"Its my stomach. It hurts and I dont know whats going on." Shadowfrost said

((She's expecting kits and the kits are kicking around in there but its early enough to where she hasnt found out yet. No one knows yet))

(I figured that's what it meant. I'm knowledgeable in the field of herbs Ivy isn't though.)

Ivypelt stared at Shadowfrost's belly. "Did you accidentally eat crow-food or something?"
