Winterpaw opened her mouth and sat straight up. "Loners" she mewed. She looked at Cloudedsoul.

Cloudedsoul bounded towards the scent, his tail twitching with anticipation. Then he saw them, matted fur, bloody, and tired. A pang of sympathy went through his heart; They must’ve been attacked. He grabbed the nearest cobweb he could find and began to dab it on the red point’s wounds carefully.
Sark growled at the sting, but didn’t move, as he knew that he was receiving help. His ears twitched in pain, as he realized a deep gash was hidden on his belly. He spoke, Hey you, I’m losing blood, can’t you tell?
The medicine cat winced at the harshness of the loner’s voice, but reminded himself that this cat was hurt and he had a right to be cranky. He gestured for the tom to reveal his underside and gasped at the sight. A large gash embedded into the red point's skin, it looked as thought it was beyond repair.

Winterpaw watched anxiously. "Do you need help Cloudedsoul?" she purred.

Cloudedsoul shook his head as he padded over to her and whispered into her ear, Winterpaw, even if I were to get the proper herbs, there's no saving this cat... I all I can have you do is get me some poppy seeds to ease the pain. He mewed his voice trailing off. His green eyes were clouded with confusion, is this a punishment for that loner? Not being able to be saved, what did he do to deserve it? He asked StarClan many questions that would go unanswered.

Winterpaw nodded and padded away finding some poppy seeds. She found some and brought them back to Cloudedsoul to give to the loner. She mewed and dropped them at the loner's feet.

The red point tom licked the seeds up with resentment, I stoop so low to accept help from Clan cats now.. He thought. Sark craned his neck to sniff where Chai was, as he couldn't see, he could hear her rasping breaths draw in and out.
Cloudedsoul sighed, and turned back to Winterpaw he continued the grim aproach, We need to end this now, I don't want to watch him suffer any longer. Fetch me some nightshade, we'll end his pain right here. The medicine cat life sometimes called for forcing ones death, and Cloudedsoul was prepared to do so.

Winterpaw nodded and quietly padded over to where some nightshade lay on the ground. She gently carried it back to Cloudedsoul and gave it to him.

The tom carefully grabbed the nightshade from her and placed it in front the red point. This will make the pain go away, he paused to swallow the lump in his throat, forever... He nudged it closer the loner, making sure it was in reach.
Sark grumbled, it's about time you gave me some proper painkillers. He ate the poisonous plant reluctantly, screwing up his face at the bitter taste. The loner was unaware what the medicine cat had given him a toxic plant called, nightshade, which was just as fatal as deathberries. Sark started to feel unusually dizzy, and when he shook his head to rid of the lightheadedness, it didn’t go away. He suddenly couldn’t breathe, and felt as if his throat had closed up. What in the heck did you do to me? He managed to wheeze.
Nightshade, to stop all your pain. Cloudedsoul replied, his voice awfully hushed.
Just than the black rex regained consciousness, and she lifted her head off the forest floor to see her friend go into a series of convulsions. Sark! She gasped, heaving herself up. Chai went to his side, just to see his flank stop moving. Sark… She whispered, searching his body for life, but she was not successful. She drooped her head grimly and growled, I think it would be wise to get your tails out of my sight!
Cloudedsoul dipped his head in deep understanding, than raised his skull to meet Winterpaw’s. She’s right; we both should be heading home. He mewed, his whiskers twitching with guilt.

Winterpaw looked at Sark and back to the she-cat. She nodded. "Will we meet again Cloudedsoul?" she purred hopefully.

The medicine cat nodded, managing to give her a glint of anxiousness in his green eyes for their next meet. Cloudedsoul took one more glance back at the two loner, then left the black rex to grieve alone.

Winterpaw sighed and padded back towards Shadowclan's border.
