"Carry her to my den, please, and careful with her leg. That may be a problem..." Her mew trailed off into a wail, but kept her hopes up. She couldn't help herself from thinking,

"Sunpaw, little one, it's time to go." Hazelnose mewed softly to Sunpaw.

"Okay... Why are we going so soon?" Sunpaw replied.
