Forbidden but acceptable

Flickering death

SunLeap was casually organizing herbs, but a loud scream shaked the whole camp. The tawny tom tumbled out to see the freezing yowl that disturbed the silence.FogStar was yowling inside of her den, she was kitting! SunLeap ran inside of the den and instantly went to help. He gave the leader a stick to bite into while he was pressing carefully on FogStar's belly.
After a few hours... The leader gave birth to 3 little kits.. 2 of them were females and one was a male, how cute..
-"All of them are healthy and... " SunLeap noticed how one of the kits didn't have a leg.. Poor guy.
-"I don't know how to thank you enough... SunLeap.. -" But as soon as the queen got her words cracked, her head dropped on the ground with pale eyes.
-"F-FogStar?.. FOGSTAR? " the tom shivered staring at the dead she-cat. FogStar was his best friend since he was born.. That made the poor tawny cat fall next to the dead body and all he could do was just to cry.. SunLeap buried his nose into FogStar's fur, nudging the gray cat in silence.
IvyThorn who just came from hunting busted into the den and sat there... Shocked...
-"She.. S-she.. -"the tom bit his lip in tears, trying to find his words.
-"Yes.. She gave birth to some beautiful kits and then passed away.." A small sob left the med's mouth, and then he got up to comfort his brother.
-"Well.. It's now time to tell the clan, I guess.. " swallowed the tawny cat in nothingness, nervously.
