Backwritten Border Can't Wait To Go Home ❀ Jinglemoon

[Peachtrot]

{$title} Peachtrot finds Jinglemoon past the far border of the territory

Let's play like we're children and sing till the moons full

Before the day we turn to nothing but sand

​

When she had arrived in camp with Wavesong and herbs in tow, the last thing that Peachtrot had expected was the tension that seemed to crackle like wild fire. Life guard after life guard exited the medicine cat den, fur bristled, heads low, and tails lashing. 'Is the meeting over? I'm not that late, am I?' Thoughts swirled in her head as she and the bi-color moved into the medicine den themselves to drop off their herbs and sort them out. There seemed to have been no response from their leader about what had transpired in the space, although he was sure to quell her fears that her not getting there on time was the reasoning behind the storm offs. Still, her paws itched to know where the others went and when Jinglemoon had not come back after the few minutes she sat with Wavesong sorting herbs, the red molly couldn't help but get worried. She had wanted to show him that he'd have help regaining his stock and that it wasn't so big of a task as they all thought, if they worked together! With small apologies and an excuse of a personal hunt, Peachtrot stepped away from the herb scented den and out of camp. She had seen him head in the direction that the sun set in, paws carrying her after his trail.

She wasn't sure what she expected... while she wasn't sprinting to catch up to the medicine cat, she hadnt expected his trail and scent to go so far out. When her paws passed over the Ash Glade, her ears flicked backwards, worry clawing at her gut. There wasn't much else past this point, after all. Would Jinglemoon really go this far to find herbs? Couldn't he have found any of them closer to home? This was so close to the border, what if some cold-hearted cat attacked him? Peachtrot didn't know what she would do if he got even more injured than he already was! And all by his lonesome, with no one to help... A brisk shake of her entire body helped to clear those thoughts from her mind, huffing out a breath in determination. 'Stop that, Peachy. You can't think like that now! He probably just knows of a special herb that grows near the far border, is all...' White paws continued onward, carrying her a bit more briskly than they had before.

The trek to the border was not a far one after she had passed the Ash Glade. The trickling sound of flowing water was the first sign that she was nearing it and the scent of the cat she was searching for seemed to grow stronger with each step she made. Light shown through the foliage of trees and leaves, the tell-tale sign of water reflections dancing along the underside of the canopy for to bright to miss. 'Finally!' Her ears perked and paws raced forward to break into the clearing along the rivers edge with an exclamation. "Found ya, Jin-....gle..." The second syllable dropped in volume as the strong scent of her friend betrayed her sight, as he was no where to be seen on their side of the flowing water. But that was impossible! Her nose would never lie to her! Head swiveling side to side like a prey animal checking it's surrounding, the molly breathed the air in, parting her teeth to catch the scent on the roof of her mouth. There was no doubt, he was around here...

Movement caught her eye and her head snapped towards it, a signature blue tail seen across the waters disappearing through the foliage. 'Is that... but why is he across the border... Is he...' Realization hit her like a fish tail against her cheek, and, before she could finish the thought, her legs were moving. "J-JINGLE-MINGLE, WAIT!!" Peachtrot hit the water with an much grace as a flopping kitten, pushing herself through the water as quickly as her paws could propel her before she was on the other bank and rushing toward's where she saw his pelt disappear. 'He cant! He wouldn't!' "DON'T LEAVE, JINGLE! I'M SORRY I WASN'T THERE ON TIME! THE HERBS CAN BE FIXED, I PROMISE!!" Her chest ached and there was a burn in her eyes she hadn't felt in a long time as tears tettered on the edge of her gaze. 'Please don't leave without saying goodbye...'
