Ivypool stared at the dead body of Hollyleaf, her black fur matted with blood and ferns that snagged onto her fur when she was being brought back to camp. She lowered her head and rested it on the black she-cats fur, burying her nose into her fur. She sent out a silent prayer to Starclan,
I know we've only known each other for a short time, but thank you, you meant so much to me…
Ivypool felt fur brush her side, and she looked up to see Lionblaze and Jayfeather, claw marks along their pelts, along with herbs. Jayfeather just stared at his sister's body while Lionblaze rested his head on her flank. Ivypool sat there quietly, not sure what to say, but no words needed to be said. More bodies, including Mousefur and Ferncloud, were brought over to Hollyleaf's body, being laid down gently. Ivypool dug her scratched muzzle into Hollyleaf's cold and bloody fur once again, closing her eyes and sitting a vigil. She felt a tail rest on her shoulders and smelled her sister, Dovewing.
Hawkfrost…
Rage built up inside of her and she slid her claws out, digging them into the soil below her. She squeezed her eyes shut and sobbed into Hollyleaf's fur.
"I'm sorry…" Ivypool whispered between sobs, letting all of her rage and sadness flow out of her into Hollyleaf's fur.
