Snowkit later woke up on Cold Rock, arching her back in a large s tretch. Knowing her family would need comfort after losing both Muddykit and Whitekit, she crawled down the unnel towards the camp. SHe loked and saw Applekit and the others, all sitting in silence. SLowly she moved towards them, Applekit seeing her and running up to his friend.
"Snowkit Creekeyes is missing!" Applekit cried, "I'm so sorry. Moonstar has sent out patrols to look for her, but they lost her scent beyond the old Twoleg place!"
Snowkit cringed, "W-where's my Dad?"
"He's waiting at Old Twoleg place, he's been there since Sun-high," Applekit explained, Snowkit then realizing that it was almost sunset.
Snowkit nodded, slowly, thinking everything over. Tears came to her eyes again, "Snowkit I-" Applekit started.
"It's fine, j-just leave me alone," she cried, running into the nursery and curling up in her nest. She looked up breifly, almost expecting her siblings or Creekeyes to walk in. But she quickly realized that they would not be coming back, so she lay down with her tail over her nose, shaking with tears.
The other kits quickly came, curling up next to Featherbreeze.
"Snowkit, would you like to sleep in our nest until Creekeyes comes back?" Featherbreeze asked.
"Yah, don't worry it will only be fore a night. Creekeyes'll come back." Sparrowkit smiled.
Snowkit sniffled, "O-kay."
She crawled towards their nest, curling up next to Applekit. The dusty brown tom put his tail on her back, "Don't worry Snowkit. Creekeyes'll come back."
"What about Whitekit a-and Muddyk-kit. They can't come back," Snowkit cried, tears streaming down her face again.
"Just go to sleep Snowkit, and you'll feel better tomorrow," Featherbreeze said.
"And tomorrow we'll be six moons old," Ashkit smiled, making his siblings exchange happy glances. But Snowkit couldn't be happy, not without her family. None of them would be home tonight.
Sorry it's so short, the next one will hopefully be longer.
