Jaggedfang got to his paws and spat out a mouthfull of leaf mold. "Ugh!" He turned and felt his heart skip a beat when he noticed how close to the edge Frostleaf was. "Frostleaf, No!" He sprang, just as the fox sprang for her throat in order to push her over the edge. Jaggedfang was just in time, knocking her out of the way as the fox landed on him and he and the fox rolled over the edge in a twisted knot of screeching fur and claws.
He kicked himself free in time to grasp the side of the rock face with his claws and slow his descent so that he landed on his paws on a rock ledge jutting out of the rock face a couple of tail-lengths below the edge. Too high above to jump for it. Heart pounding, he pressed his fur to the rock face as far from the edge of the ledge that he could manage. The fox fell out of sight, twisting and yelping in midair. Jaggedfang shuddered, there was only one possible end to a fall like that, and he tried not to imagine how close he and Frostleaf had come to sharing that fate.

Frostleaf gasped.That was the second time today she nearly fell into the gorge.Why did she have to be so clumsy?She felt a rush of affection toward Jaggedfang.He had saved her life,and nearly died trying.

He felt his heart slow down as he caught his breath and he looked up, trying to judge how far he'd fallen. "Frostleaf?" He yowled, trying to see if she was still okay. When he realized that he'd fallen too far to jump back up to safety, it occured to him that he may have saved Frostleaf's life, but now he was stuck.

"Jaggedfang!"Frostleaf exclaimed,when she realized he couldn't jump back up.What should she do?She shouldn't go down to get him;they might both be trapped.She looked desspretly for a way for him to climb back up."Jaggedfang!"She called."Can you see that crack right there?If you can jump to it,you migh be able to climb back up!"

Jaggedfang crouched down against the rock face... for all his strength and courage in battle, Jaggedfang was deathly afraid of heights. "W-what if I miss?" He mewed, suddenly terrified.

With a furious snarl, Snowpelt leapt on the fox and bit into its scruff until he tasted the coppery liquid of blood. He'd teach the fox a lesson about trespassing on clan territory. The fox fell on its back, attempting to crush the warrior beneath him, but he immediately let go of the fox and darted away just in time. He heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Jaggedfang and Frostleaf. He turned back to face the fox only to see a furry paw swipe at him. Caught of guard, the paw made contact with him and sent him sprawling into the hard bark of a tree. He immediately got up, despite the black spots clouding that dotted his vision, and watched as his clanmates fought the fox until it fell into the gorge. A wave of panic swept over him as he watched tha cat and fox fall into the gorge. He padded towards the gorge to see if Jaggedfang was okay.
Snowpelt made it in time to hear what Jaggedleaf said. "You can do it Jaggedleaf. Remember, you're a warrior." he said, grimacing with pain with each intake of breath.

"It'll be okay Jaggedfang, just jump!"Frostleaf yelled down to Jaggedfang.She wasn't as sure as she sounded though.What if he really didn't make it?She pushed that though away.He had to make it,he just had to!

(OOC: Think of the scene in the lion king when Mufasa is climbing up the stone wall, Right before he dies. xD lol)
(BIC: )Jaggedfang looked up at Frostleaf's face and he felt his fear melting away. Bunching up his haunches, he took a mighty leap upwards and grabbed hold of the crack with his foreclaws. His hindclaws balanced him, but he slipped a few inches when his leap dislodged stones that rolled out from under his weight. Regardless of this fact, he began to claw his way up the side of the cliff, his claws leaving gouge marks in the stone. When he was less than a tailk length away from making it, he turned his pleading eyes on Frostleaf. "Frostleaf, please! Help me!" He yowled while trying to remain in the same position.[/i]

Frostleaf paused for a split second,then lunged forward,grabing Jaggedfang's scruff.Usually,there was no way she could pull a cat his size up,but her love for him gave her the strength of a cat two times her size.She heaved him over the edge,dragging him over to the roots of a large Oak tree.Panting hard,she looked down at him,her eyes full of love and concern."Are you okay?"

Jaggedfang covered her neck and shoulders with licks, his throat purring too hard to reply with words. The message was clear, however. When his licks died down, he stood up and looked down at her. "Thank you." His tail tip flicked back and forth... "Let's go back to camp."

"Yeah,we should.We need to tell the rest of the clan the fox is dead,"Frostleaf murmered.She peered over the cliff's edge to look at the body of the fox,and shivered.What if that had been Jaggedfang?No,she wouldn't allow herself to think about that."We should go see the medicine cat too.Make sure none of our scratches get infected."Frostleaf pointed out."Well,let's go."

Snowpelt watched the two from a few paces away, so as not to ruin the moment. When he would have gone to help Frostleaf with Jaggedfang, but they could probably handle themselves. Plus they were obviously in love which meant this would be a good chance for them to, well, bond.

Frostleaf padded alongside Jaggedfang quietly through the undergrowth.She ran her tail lightly along his spine as they aproached the camp.When they entered the clearing was bustling with cats asking what had happened.Not bothering to answer,she and the two other cats pushed their way to the medicine cats den.

Snowpelt could scent the different kinds of herbs in the den, while somewhere at the back of his mind, he could identify each one. He couldn't see or make out the medicine cat's scent. Instinctively, he pushed his way to the back of the den. He remembered the tme when he was a medicine cat. That was a long time ago, but he could still remember some parts of it. There wasn't anymore marigold left, so he got some horsetail. He picked it up gently with his jaws and padded over to the entrance of the den. "Chew these up and put them on your scratches." he said, laying it on the floor. He went back into the den to look for a few poppy seeds and some cobwebs. He hoped the medicine cat wouldn't mind him touching the herbs. [/blockquote]

"Okay,"she replied,picking up a mouthfull of leaves.She reconized the taste of horsetail as she chewed the leaves in to a wet pulp."I would have used dock,"she murmered to herself,as she spat the chewed-up leaves onto the ground.Then,she scooped up a pawfull and rubbed it evenly on each of her scratches,letting the cool juice soothe their sting.She sat still as Snowpelt stuck the cobweb on a few of her worst scratches to soak up the blood.Then he gave her four tiny black seeds,that she knew were poppy seeds.A few moments after she took them,her aching musles eased,and she felt much better.
