Frostfern had gone hunting, and Burrkit was supposed to be taking a nap. As soon as her tail dissappeared from sight, one amber eyes peeped open. he jumped up, looking excited. He had a plan.. he was going to sneak out!
When he and Frost had been loners, he got to explore all the time, since they traveled alot. He didn't like being confined to camp like this, and couldn't wait to be apprenticed. So he snuck out the back, through a little tear he had found in the bramble-lined nursery. He wiggled his way through, wincing as thorns scratched his back. Good thing he had a thick coat! He was home free, and bounded through the woods!
He wasn't really paying attention in all his excitement when suddenly a fox burst from the bushes, snarling, ginger fur on end, and lunged at the kit. Burrkit screeched, feeling sharp teeth in his tail. Then there was a ripping noise, a tearing of flesh and fear, and he screamed. Frostfern froze, one paw raised over the water. She whirled around and ran, snow-white run bristling, green eyes blazing. Whoever has touched her kit?! He was going to die! She saw the fox and sprang, cauterwauling. She sank her teeth and claws into it's neck, and other cats, hearing the noise, came running too. (Goldrush, and since they were close to the border, Juniperstar, Redpaw, and Heatherbreeze.) The fox ran as soon as it saw all the cats, blood pouring from its neck.
Burrkit was trembing on the ground, blood soaking the sand around him. His eyes were wide with terror, and his mangled tail lay at an odd angle.
Frostfern crouched over her son, moaning low in her throat. "My poor Burrkit. Look at your poor tail! WE NEED WILLOWSHADE!"

Willowshade hadnt been far from where the tragedy had happened. He had been out collecting herbs. When he heard his name he ran to the scene. "Everyone just stay clam. I need cobwebs. Stand back. Let him breath." Willowshade tood the cobwebs someone had handed him and he stoped all of the bleeding. "Now Frostfern I need you to carry him to my den can you do that? Everyone else, dont make this seem so bad, he is alive and when he wakes up i want him to feel normal and not stessed out. Please go back and continue what you were doing. I thank you Earthclan cats for the help but I must ask you to leave now. I assure you hes fine He will be at the next gathering im sure. Well one after the punishment he gets is over."

Juniperstar nodded, sympathy in his eyes. Redpaw looked horrified, and Heatherbreeze spat after the fox. they left
Frostfern gently picked her son up by the scruff, and carefully made her way back to camp. He was unconcious. She wondered if his tail would be alright too. ( he loses it, like Berrykit.)

Willowshade instructed Frostfern to place her kit on some moss in his den. "I'm going to put some herbs his wounds, you should go hunting so when he wakes you arent worrying your furr off."

Frostfern looked appalled. "I'm not leaving with my kit in this condition! I'll be outside of the den, but no farther. Please take care of him. I don't think StarClan would find him. We are barely Clan cats..." she whispered, and turned to leave.

"You may stay outside the den, but when he wakes, dont fluster him. We dont want to make him feel like anything is wrong. You two are part of this clan, and Starclan has aceptted you, he will not pass but When his time comes Starclan will welcome him. Dont worry i will take care of him." Willowshade meowed.

Frostfern nodded obediently, listening carefully. Willowshade knew best, ecspecially about StarClan, so he must be right.

Willowshade made Burrkit as comfortable as he could, and a little amount of poppy seeds so he would not awake in pain.

time passes...
Burrkit yawned, and opened his amber eyes. He didn't feel... anything. But something was odd, he could sense it. How had he gotten in Willowshade's den? He rose to his paws, and stretched, flexing his muscles, and claws. Then he sat down and curled his tail around his paws.... curled his tail around his paws... that's when Burrkit noticed. He screeched, "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY TAIL?!"

"Calm Down calm down. ITs ok." Willowshade called Frostfern into his den so she could explain.

Frostfern hurried in and covered her frantic son with licks, who was frantic and squirming, trying his no-tail status. "You snuck out of camp, you naughty kit, and a fox grabbed a hold of you, bit your tail clean off!"
Burrkit didn't reply at first ,and Frostfern sighed, "I hope you learned your lesson! You might not get so lucky!"
The small tom looked thoughtful. "I don't feel any pain." He looked at Willowshade. "You made the pain go away. You healed me."
"He saved you!" Frostfern mewed.
"Yeah... That's.... so cool. Thank you, Willowshade." he mewed solemnly.

Burrkit's eyes still shone with awe. Frostfern turned to Willowshade. "Do you want him to stay here? For tonight?"
"Oh please! I'm fine here! I wanna stay!" Burrkit mewed excitedly. His mother looked slightly startled, "Er, if... It's okay with Willowshade."

"Yes thats fine. Id prefer it. I dont want anyone stepping on whats left of his tail and opening the wound." Willowshade pulled up some more moss for him. "Can you manage getting you and I some fresh kill?"

Frostfern gave him a quick lick between the ears before leaving, quickly joining a border patrol.
Burrkit nodded, and padded out of the den.
"Hey, Burrkit! You're awake!" Goldrush veered towards him, and flicked the kit with his tail. "We were all worried sick about you. Glad to see you out and about again."
"Oh! Sorry, Goldrush. But thanks. I gotta fetch Willowshade some fresh-kill." He dragged a large fish from the pile and pulled in back to the medicine cat den.
