Blind Wonderings

[~*Ravenfeather*~]

Jaywing swung around causing Icemoon to nearly collide with him but he didn't back down. He narrowed his eyes and lashed his tail furiously.

"I want you and the rest of the world to back off" Jaywing snarled. "You all think I need your help, I don't. I've lived my life on my own I can do it now."

Jaywing turned again and stalked away, this time toward a steep embankment to a dry creekbed. Jaywing didn't see the drop. The ground fell from his paws. The blue-grey warrior was sent tumbling into the dry creekbed, crashing into a thorn bush on his way.

When he finally stopped Jaywing was on his side, thorns speckling his pelt and he didn't move. His heart was pounding in his chest and his eyes were wide with panic and fright. His soft fur was on end and streaked with dust. His shoulder was flaring up in pain but Jaywing didn't dare move. His entire body was rigid.

[glow=black,2,300]Icemoon streaked down to her clanmate. "Jaywing," she softly and slowly nudged his head. "Come on, we've got to get back to camp!" the blue that are usually peircing and feirce, were now wide with determination. She tried to help the blue tom, but decided that she should let him do what he wanted to do. "Will you please come with me back to camp?" she asked politely.[/glow]

Jaywing staggered up, stumbling over to a tree and leaning against it. His fur felt torn with thorns and his right shoulder hurt horribly. It was the shoulder he had landed on. It felt like he had forced it out of its socket. Jaywing let out a soft hiss of pain and twisted around, feeling for thorns and pulling them out without a second thought.

"I'm fine" Jaywing meowed firmly. "I just forgot that that ravine was there."

[glow=black,2,300]"Come on, we've got to get bak to cacp! You might have popped your bone, or gotten some thorn stuck." She licked his ear softly and carefully, then she started walking back to camp, hoping her friend would follow.[/glow]

Jaywing reluctantly followed Icemoon, limping slowly. This time he was wary. Once confident in his home he was now wary. This reminded him horribly of his kit days, the only time he had been forced to follow a she-cat. He felt his pride slipping and his fur was burning with embarassment.

"Why am I born into a world I can't even see?" Jaywing grumbled quietly.

[glow=white,2,300]"Oh, come on." the ivory she-cat calmed the blue tom and flicked her tail over his ears. "We really need to get back to camp and see Whitewhisper!"[/glow]

"Fine" Jaywing growled, limping behind the white warrior.
