Hey guys! I am just gonna say that I want to do some kind of contest but I'm not really sure what I'm going to do yet. Review or PM me what you think it should be! P.S. This is about a moon forward. Fox is about 10 moons and Juniper is about 3.
"We're going to go hunt for a while, just your father and I." Meowed Blossom."You darlings can stay here."
"Okay Momma," Fox said nuzzling her mother "Bye! Love you."
"We love you, too." Yellowtail meowed
"We sure do little Sweeties," Blossom murmured "Bye."
As they left, Fox curled around her sister's fuzzy body.
"So, Jupy, what do you wanna do?" She meowed.
The white and yellow kit sat quietly, a very concentrated look on her face. Fox let out a mrrrow of amusement at the sight of her.
"Let's catch butterflies!" Her sister meowed excitedly, jumping up and down.
"Juniper, I'm not too sure that there are butterflies to catch," Fox meowed jokingly "I'm pretty sure you've killed them all."
"Look! There's one right there!" Juniper yowled, excitement ringing in her voice.
Fox had to chase the tabby outside as she tried to catch the fluttering little creature. The older sister joined in, jumping after the butterfly. They stopped dead in their tracks when they heard a screech.
Mother!
"Juniper! Come on! We have to go!" Fox yowled
The long legged she-cat ran as fast as she could. Although she was much younger and had stubbier legs, Juniper ran right beside her. Fox ran faster when the screams became silence.
The two sisters burst out into a clearing surrounded by bushes. Two bloodied heaps lay there, one yellow, one an orange-red color.
Mother and Father!
She bolted to Yellowtail's unmoving body.
"Father?" She wailed, prodding his shoulder with an orange paw. "Father! Wake Up! Please!"
Juniper slowing walked up to Fox and Yellowtail. Her shocked expression made Fox's heart shatter.
"Daddy and Mommy are hurt bad," she said "You can fix them, right, Foxy?"
Fox had an alright knowledge of herbs, but she knew she could never fix her parents. They were already gone, too far away...
She shakily staggered to her paws and limped horrified over to her mother. Fox's heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she saw Blossom's striped flank slightly rise and fall.
"Mother!" She meowed, shaking her. "Mother, wake up!"
The dark ginger tabby opened her eyes slightly.
"Fox?" She whispered with pain "I-Is that you?"
"Yes, mother," The young cat whimpered "It's me."
Blossom smiled sorrowfully.
"Fox, my time has come," She rasped "I'm going to StarClan. I'm so sorry I have to leave now..."
Juniper pushed past her sister and walked closer to her mother.
"When will you be back?" She meowed innocently
"I won't, darling." Their mother meowed in sorrow "But I won't really be gone..."
Juniper just stared.
"But Momma..." The white and yellow kit mewed "You have to come back..."
She laid down and snuggled up to her tabby head.
Blossom licked her ear and turned back to her eldest daughter.
"Fox," she said, struggling for breath "You must go to Mist and tell her what has happened. She lives near the Highstones and she will take care of you."
The ginger tabby's breaths became shallower and shallower.
She managed to murmur: "I love you." And her heather-colored eyes closed forever.
