Yellowfang's Secret/Chapter 17

==Chapter description==
:Yellowfang wakes up unable to breathe. She tries to stand and push away any nearby moss that might be choking her until she notices no moss on top of her. She quickly leaves the warrior's den and hears the same rasping from the elder's den. She noticed Lizardfang trying to convince Littlebird to visit Sagewhisker, and Yellowfang begins running to fetch the medicine cat. Sagewhisker slowly wakes as the gray warrior enters her den and asks if juniper berries will help with the elder's shortness of breath. Sagewhisker agrees and quickly falls back asleep. Yellowfang returns to the elder's den with the berry and instructs Littlebird to eat it. Lizardfang asks why Sagewhisker didn't come, but Yellowfang calms her by informing the senior cat that she is helping her. The warrior constructs a new nest for Littlebird, and Lizardstripe thanks her for her efforts. Yellowfang heads back to the medicine cat den, and the white she-cat asks about her condition. Yellowfang informs her of Littlebird's improvement and leaves again for the warrior's den. 
:Raggedpelt asks Yellowfang where she has been. The she-cat tells him of her visit with Littlebird, and the tom mocks her decision to help the medicine cat. Yellowfang reminds her that she doesn't want her Clanmates to suffer. Raggedpelt jokes with her that he would like Yellowfang as his deputy and not a medicine cat. 
:Yellowfang sits in camp waiting for the Gathering to end. Raggedpelt is the first to enter the camp, and the gray she-cat asks for the news. He informs her that the other Clans are well fed, as well as Clan gossip. Raggedpelt also mentions the ThunderClan medicine cat asking about the well-being of ShadowClan's warriors. Yellowfang soothes the tom as more cats from the Gathering enter the camp. Foxheart and Lizardstripe walk past the pair and mock her for helping Sagewhisker with her medicine storage. She ignores them, but Raggedpelt admits that the teasing is right. He tries to convince her to work harder on being a warrior rather than a medicine cat. 
:Yellowfang approaches Cedarstar and asks to join a hunting patrol. The leader invites her to join Archeye, Wolfstep, and Amberleaf, and she walks over to join them. Yellowfang is relieved that Raggedpelt notices her efforts, and her patrol leaves the camp. Archeye announces that they will hunt along the Thunderpath. While the patrol is walking, they gossip about Heatherstar's accusation of ShadowClan cats being on WindClan territory. Yellowfang ignores the cats but picks up WindClan scent on their territory. The patrol puts together a quick plan to track the scent. After quietly looking around the edge of the Thunderpath, they come across Dawnstripe, Talltail, Redclaw, and Shrewpaw inspecting ShadowClan territory. Archeye demands them to answer why they're invading ShadowClan, and Dawnstripe tells him that ShadowClan was trespassing first. Amberleaf stands with her Clanmate and demands the invaders leave. However, Shrewpaw mocks their weight and the condition of ShadowClan. The four ShadowClan cats align themselves in a battle formation, giving the WindClan cats a final warning. Redclaw refuses and immediately meets with Archeye's claws. The patrol breaks off into a fight with the rest of the WindClan cats, but their frail state leaves them beaten at WindClan's paws. Dawnstripe calls off the fight, and Raggedpelt's patrol appears behind them. The two Clans throw threatening words before parting ways to their respective camps. 
:Raggedpelt assists Yellowfang back to camp, and Brightflower immediately sends her to Sagewhisker's den. The medicine cat is already grabbing herbs to assist her Clanmates and instructs the nearby warriors to help her. Sagewhisker tells Yellowfang that she can not fight properly because of the pain of her Clanmates. The white she-cat tells her she must leave her life as a warrior and become a medicine cat.
