Snakey felt her blood gush down her side as she struggled to make it closer to the house where VirusClan lived. She had been patrolling the grounds all by herself peacefully until a fox attacked her. The she-cat managed to kill the beast thanks to her many moons of fighting but the fox managed to give her side a deep bite in return and the black and grey cat didn't know if she would last long with the amount of blood she was loosing.
"Gotta find some cobwebs..." she spoke in between deep pants "... and marigold... and poppyseeds..."
As soon as she said 'poppyseeds' the cat collapsed in a tired heap of fur and blood, her body was loosing too much blood too fast.

The previously known Icepaw, now known as Ice let the metallic scent fill her nose. The she-cat's eyes widened as she saw bloodied paw prints track through the grass. What in the name of god was going on? The she-cat who had been out looking for herbs wobbled her way over. Not only was she the healer of the clan, but she was also for providing VirusClan with healthy kits. The pregnant she-cat looked at Snakeys mangled body."Snakey hold on!" Ice was grateful for the fact that she had been searching for herbs and already had what she needed on her. With gentle paws the 11 mooned cat pressed cobwebs into the she-cats large gashes. She licked the wounds clean, and shortly after that she chewed up some marigold and placed it in her wounds she knew it would sting but it was part of life."Snakey,I can't give you poppy seeds until we make it safely back ot the house, it will make you sleepy!

Snakey barely heard the young queen as she called out her name but was grateful that Ice had found her. Time seemed to slow down as the healer/queen tended to her wounds and the injured cat couldn't feel the sting of marigold hit her torn flesh nor Ice's cleaning tongue.
"It's too late..." Snakey managed to say, struggling for air "I won't make it to the house yet young one. Oh, looks like the poppy seeds aren't needed now. The pain is starting to go..."
Snakey closed her eyes and let out a deep sigh. The black cat no longer had 9 lives but 8.

Even so, Ice knew what was happening. If Ice hadn't treated her wounds, Snakey could have easily lost another life due to infection. The young healer and queen wrapped her tail around her paws and waited. If she hadn't been previously clan born, the fact that snakey was about to get up again would have shocked most of the cats. The white she-cat swiveled her ears to make sure that no one was around. With a short sigh she realized she had used all the herbs she had previously found. That's okay. She saved one of her clan mates, or partial clan mates that is. Being part Shadowclan this she-cat considered Snakey aka Viperstar as her clan mate. She gave a curt nod as she saw the she-cat stir."You are a new leader correct? how many lives do you have left Snakey? Be grateful it was only one, if I hadn't treated you it could have been much much more.."

Snakey's eyes fluttered open to be greeted by the sight of a white queen. Ice to be exact. It took a few moments for the Shadowclan leader and VirusClan spy to remember what happened before she lost her life.
"Yeah... I should have 8 lives or something left." Snakey's replied after a few moments, her voice distant and troubled "Thank you Ice. I am very grateful indeed..."

Ice nodded and she found herself gently licking the she-cat between the ears."May I ask what happened? Certainly this wasn't from a little spying on other clans Snakey." The she-cat mewed. Her tail whipped back and forth. The she-cat leaned forward and took a sniff. She pulled back and noted that she was clear of infection for now and she did reek of fox. The she-cat began to worry for the safety of her soon to be born kits. With a sigh she sat back."I will help you...SNakey, get back to what ever clan that you wish to get back to when you are ready to go that is."

"Looks like I don't have to tell you." Snakey replied with a smile, slowly starting to pad towards the house "Don't worry, your kits will be safe. I'll make sure Mongoose makes sure of it. If I didn't I would have never left Secret behind with Virusclan."
Snakey seemed to be normal for a bit but her thoughts strayed to what happened when she visited the paradise in the skies.
"What's going to happen? They said I'd lose a life quite soon but why? How?" Snakey thought to herself while padding next to Ice "And what in hell do they mean by 'Don't let the sparrow distract you or the river shall drown you."? Just what is Starclan trying to tell me?"

Icepaw padded side by side with the she-cat and shrugged. StarClan wasn't a part of VirusClan's practice. She didn't receive special dreams like those of the clans. VirusClan went by pure knowledge and common sense to guide them. It had worked thus far. Why would it not?"Yes...I trust you to see that my kits will be safe. Sadly once they are grown I must carry again. It's my role in this society. At least, until a young one decides to take my place. Then again who would want to heal knowing you must have many mates to make the clan large and healthy?" She shook her head from side to side and listened intently."I don't understand how a bird could distract you, perhaps they are warning you not to hunt near the river?"

"Ahh... But StarClan always has deeper meanings behind their words. They wouldn't tell me these things unless they served a greater purpose." Snakey said in reply with s slight shrug from her strong, well-muscled shoulders "Something tells me that the 2 things StarClan told me are related but not in the way I think. Oh well, I really should stop pondering over this. I'll know what they mean when the time comes I spose..."

Ice nodded as the house came into view. The she-cat raised a brow and started thinking. She knew if she were in a clan that was powered by StarClan that it would be her job to interpret the message. Snakey said she didn't want to ponder it any longer but for some reason she couldn't get it out of her head."It appears dangerous, do you really want to find out what it is? I mean falling into a river sounds like no fun any time of the year..." the white and gray she-cat mewed. She wrapped her paws around her tail and sighed."What if the sparrow is something else. DO you know anyone named Sparrow? Or someone who has a bird like name? Maybe Owl, Tern? Eagle? Hawk? Something?"

"Yeah, I do. Just... Please don't tell Mongoose about this though. I don't want you to get into trouble with him. Just in case..." Snakey requested, hoping Ice would understand.
It took her a few more moments to recall any cats she knew with a bird related name.
"Uhh... I know Terncall and Robinpaw from my clan, I think there's a kit in Windclan named Birdkit, I can't think of any from Thunderclan and then Sparrowstar, the leader of Riverclan." Snakey named all of those she could think of "Have any ideas yet?"

Ice didn't know a lot about the clan ways any more since she had to retrain herself to be suitable for VirusClan. The she-cat did however had a large amount of common sense. She just rolled her eyes and kept walking. Her paw steps hit the cement stairs and she let out a long sigh."Sparrowstar of Riverclan eh?" Starclan warned her not to fall for the sparrow or she would fall into the river."Perhaps StarClan was trying to warn you that Sparrowstar isn't who you think he is and if you put trust in him you will fall as a leader?" The she-cat mewed. She had other ideas but she wasn't sure why StarClan would warn her about another leader unless it was a threat to her."Or maybe it wasn't StarClan and you are just over paranoid." The she-cat mewed.

"Perhaps...." Snakey shrugged "Well, thank you for your help Ice. I shall make sure Mongoose will repay you but for now I shall rest. Good bye for now my friend. I hope you have a safe delivery."
Snakey then exited to the small room where she liked to sleep and curled up in a ball with only one thing on her mind.
What could've Starclan meant?

Ice gave the she-cat a quick nod of her head in acknowledgement."You don't need to be a clan cat to figure those things out I suppose. I would just be careful around Sparrowstar. Both of these clans don't want to lose you." the she-cat mewed. She let out a sigh or relief when the she-cat commented about her having a safe kitten. The she-cat looked at her swollen belly and nodded."Thank you Snakey I want nothing more than to have a safe kitting. I feared things would happen." She gave her chest a swift lick and padded into what the two-legs would have called a closet where her nest was. The white she-cat curled up into a ball and closed her eyes. Her kits would be safe and that's all that mattered.
