Juhi's gaze flicked to Maple. "Yes." She said, her voice hollow. "He deserved it." She did not elaborate. He had deserved it. That much was clear. She limped over to Maple, blood dripping in a trail behind her. She ignored it. It's probably fine. It can't be that deep. "Can you move?" She asked her friend, easing herself to the ground next to her friend with a wince. She didn't notice her own fast paced breath. The dusty ground let the crimson pool. "Can you feel your legs?" She felt lightheaded now. That was odd. Probably just the adrenaline wearing off. "Are you bleeding anywhere?" Her voice seemed far away. She lay her head to the ground and closed her eyes.

“JUHI!” Maple screamed, she nudged her hard. “Juhi no!” She begged, standing up, but groaning as she did so. She looked around and found a bunch of cobweb near by. Racing over to it, she grabbed some in her mouth and then raced back to her friend. She put cobweb all over her friends scratches. She raced for more cobweb, her own head beginning to spin each time she ran. After she finished putting the cobweb on her friend, maple flopped down on the ground, her breathing continued to quicken. “J…Juhi” maple said. “W….wake up” she begged. Maples head fell to the side and the world went black as she passed out.

Juhi let out a moan as she awoke, her entire body stinging. She blinked, trying to raise her head. “Nope. Absolutely not.” Clover said quickly, putting a paw to her muzzle, forcing her to stay down. “You’ve been out for a bit.” The she-cat said, “Maple has been too.” Juhi shot up, and Clover started, “No! You’ll reopen that slash on your chest again. Do you know how long it took for me to get that to stop bleeding?!” She shrieked. Juhi promptly ignored her, her head spinning as she saw Maple nearby. They were still in the same place as before, but it seemed Clover had dragged some hay down from the loft and made them some temporary nests. “Why?” Juhi rasped, “What’s wrong with her?” Clover nudged her back into a sitting position. “She had some minor wounds. She was probably very shaken, and I’m assuming she got thrown into that wall. With the adrenaline going, and you passing out— which I arrived just in time for— she had a major panic attack. Passed out. She’ll be okay.” Juhi let out a breath. “Most of your wounds were superficial.” Clover added, “That one on your chest is nasty though.”

Maples eyes fluttered opened a little while later. She blinked, as sunlight hit her eyes. She looked around. “Clover?” She mumbled. “Whats happening?” She asked, blinking again, as she tried to stand, but was too dizzy to get up. She lay back down on the nest clover had made for her. She blinked again. “Did….did we really kill him?” She asked

Juhi was just making some small conversation with Clover when Maple woke up. Juhi practically beamed. “Dead as a doornail.” She purred. Rocky was digging a hole for Peanut. Not that he deserved it- but they really couldn’t just leave a rotting cat in the barn entrance. Not a good look. “How are you feeling?” She asked, “Personally I feel amazing, but Patchy here says that I nearly bled to death- semantics really.” Clover glared at her, “My name is not Patchy!” She said sharply, seemingly offended, even as Juhi’s eyes danced with laughter. Clearly she had been antagonizing the other she-cat for awhile.

“I fell great!” Maple said, standing up and walking over to Juhi. “I can’t believe he’s actually dead” she said, through gritted teeth, as she glared at the body of her ex mate. She snarled a little bit as her hackles rose. “Words. Mate. Ever.” She said under her breath. “He tried killing me!” Maple said. “When I was pregnant with the kits I mean” she added

"Good." Juhi purred, "Clover, go get me some of those gross leaves that make me less dizzy." The she-cat darted off to find some. "He deserved it." She repeated to Maple, tilting her head. "He said as such. Even with all his spewing lies I could tell that much was true." She blinked once. "Is it really safe here? How did he find you?" She let out a long sigh, "Perhaps I should visit Sabra sooner than I was planning to. Goldfinch- one of Terns kits- really has a way with herbs and healing." Clover returned with some bitter leaves, and Juhi managed to swallow them, but not without gagging once.

Maple looked at her friend. "you're leaving?" she asked her suddenly. "Don't leave!" Maple begged. "I need you here" Maple said, purring a little bit as she rubbed her face along her friends side. "I love you Juhi" Maple whispered. "And....and I think he found me because he kept following me even after I buried the kits" Maple said. "I...I've been seeing him the last few days, but today was the first time he actually came into view" she said, shifting on her paws nervously.

Juhi blinked, "You could come too you know..." She said slowly. "I have to see Tern eventually. Or she'll get worried and show up here uninvited." She said, rolling her eyes. Her eyes narrowed at the mention of Peanut. "He deserved it." She spat once again, turning her nose up. "And now he's dead and i'll never bother you again." Rocky came into view, mud and dirt spattering his paws, his lip curled up in disgust. "I dug the grave." He announced. "I am not moving him into it!" He exclaimed, and Juhi glared at him, "Ohhh yes you are." She said, raising her hackles a bit, "If I try to i'm gonna fall flat on my muzzle. Enjoy the job Stony!" Rocky glared at her, and Clover murmured to him, "Sorry.." And something about the herbs making Juhi a bit moody, but they took away the pain... so...

Maple was about to reply, when all of a sudden...a soft little mew was heard from around a tree. "Did you hear that?" she asked, looking around, and seeing a face of a kit. The kit ducked back behind the tree and didn't poke its head out again until a few seconds later. Maple's gaze softened. "Juhi! Its a kit" Maple said, standing up and trotting over to it. "hi there little one" Maple said. The kit slunk back again. "where did you come from?" she asked. The kit blinked at Maple. "ok...whats your name?" she asked. "S...Snowflurry" The small kit squeaked

Juhi began to look slightly drowsy, but at the word kit, her ears pricked right up, her eyes widening. She stood, ignoring Clover and Rocky's protests for her to not move. She toddled over to where Maple was, looking at the kitten with barely concealed curiocity. "I wonder if I got the dose wrong..." Clover muttered from behind her. "Hello!" Juhi exclaimed, "I'm Juhi, and i'm very tired right now, but you look very cool." She rambled, clearly not noticing her bloodspattered fur, which hopefully wouldn't scare the little scrap.

Snowflurry noticed the blood on the older cats pelt, and she slunk back behind the tree, trembling. Maple looked around, and made eye contact with Clover. "Clover!" she said. "can you take this kit inside and get her settled?" she asked, as the little kit began trembling harder. "hey" Maple said, nuzzling her gently. "its ok" she said, grabbing her scruff and leading her to Clover. She placed the kit at Clover's paws, and when she saw cover, Snowflurry instantly ran under the paws, and hid there.

Juhi frowned, looking at her pelt. "Oh- oh- sorry, sorry." She said quickly, "I'll- I'll just go wash myself a bit." She quickly turned away, hopeful she didn't scare the poor kit away so badly. She plopped herself down in a far corner of the barn with a huff, beginning to groom her pelt. She watched from far away as Maple coaxed the kit out and took her over to Clover, who was only a bit larger than the kit herself. She focused on her claws first, repulsed by the amount of blood coating her paws and pelt. She worked efficiently, and there was little blood left on her after a couple moments.

Snowflurry looked up at Clover, and let out another little squeak. She knew this cat would protect her. "im scared..." she mumbled, looking up at Clover from where she lay under her paws. Maple purred softly. "Clover won't hurt you" Maple promised, as Clover lifted her up. "Oh! Clover" Maple suddenly said. "Would you mind sharing your nest with her?" she asked. "Since she's so young, and seems to take a liking to you.." Maple said

Juhi watched as Clover nodded, then led the kit away towards the her nest. Juhi licked a paw and wiped it over her muzzle, trying to get rid of any trace of blood. She wanted the crawl into a stream to get the final traces off, but then her cobwebs would be sufficiently gone... it would probably be fine, right? She wasn't in pain at the moment, so she got to her paws, trotting towards the barn doors. Wow, those pain herbs from Clover work very, very well. She had just passed the barn doors now, turning right towards the trickling stream. It was the same direction as where they had gone tree-hunting the day prior. Perhaps it was safer in the trees than the stream, but she didn't mind in that moment.
