Hello everyone! ShiverCry here! This chapter won't be as light-hearted as the last one. I mean, the definition of solace is "comfort in sorrow, misfortune or trouble". So yeah!Let us begin "Seeking Solace"!

Lightningfur stayed even after all the other cats retreated to their dens. Lightningfur stayed by the still, lifeless body of his father, head down, golden eyes glistening with tears. His father had been brave, kind, and protected his clan with his life. Even so, his family always came first. Lightningfur always came first.

Lightningfur's mother was a she-cat from a different clan. However, he had never known her because she and his father broke up as soon as Lightningfur and his sisters were kitted. On top of that, his mother took his two sisters back to her clan. Lightningfur's father was all he ever had.

"It's a real shame that he had to die." A voice sounded. Lightningfur didn't even take his eyes off of his father. He already knew that it was Snowstar. "He would have made a great deputy."

That is not what Lightningfur wanted to hear. He didn't want to hear what his father could have been. But he gave a curt nod. Snowstar sat there with him a little bit before murmuring an excuse and padding away.

The sun began to rise, painting the sky with colors. Lightningfur tore his eyes away from his father for the first time, looking up. Standing, his mind buzzed with ideas. Ideas of revenge. It was unknown how his father had died, but Lightningfur was determined to find out how.

No matter what it took.

A bit of a cliffhanger, eh? Maybe I'll bring Lightningfur back for another theme. But for now, that's it for "Seeking Solace"! Please leave reviews and suggestions for the next theme, "Break Away"!
