The wailing of Sunstream took Quietsong out of her daze. Was the battle over? It hadn't taken long before the Axis was all out of the camp. Quietsong left the still worried Ponytail in the Nursery. What she came out to took her breath away.
In the middle of the camp, a small, broken cat laid motionless. Quietsong quietly recognized it as Fariepaw. Sunstream and Herostar sat next to the small body; Herostar looking down sulkingly and Sunstream outright just wailing.
Quietsong padded up to her brother and put her tail tip to his shoulder, trying to console the broken father. Herostar just looked away, tears heavily in his eyes. "She was already dead when you found her, yes? I'm sorry, I couldn't have done any more. She has a broken neck." Quietsong said quietly.
"I know." Herostar said, amazingly quietly for his standards.
Sunstream immediately stopped wailing and got to her feet, whispering, "I need to talk to you in your den, Herostar." And walked to the den they shared.
Herostar looked like he had just gotten claws sunken into him. He gave a sullen look to Quietsong before padding after his mate, knowing what was coming next.
Quietsong felt her heart break for her brother. Sunstream was his world, and it looked like their kit dying would be tearing them apart for good.
I'm sorry for this incredibly short chapter. It was the best I could come up with for a filler chapter while I thought more on how to keep this plot going.
The reason I haven't updated are 1. I was diagnosed with Chronic migraines. Yeah. Try to write with your head in constant pain. 2. I haven't had a computer; my old one broke and I haven't felt comfortable using my sisters.
