|••' RAINFALL '••|

- Maple Mother -

- Tw. Loss of a loved one and manipulation. -

Maple'paw ran to her mother's nearly lifeless body. Rain flooded the forest. Stampedes of cats ran past her, but she chose to stay. Her mother was dying. And I was all her fault. Bloodclan was attacking Windclan. She tried to guide her eyes through the harsh storm to find a medicine cat, but none were to be in her surrounding. She collapses to the ground, squinting her eyes with tears. She clenched her teeth. "Mother, please, no.." She cried into her mother's soft, calming fur. "Maple'paw." Her mother gasped. Maple'paw scanned the claws her mother held throughout her stomach and neck. There's no way she'll survive. Maple'paw realized. "Remain strong for your clan. Your clan mates will need you. The forest will need you." She mewed with her final breath. As she watched her mother's stomach stop rising and falling, she burst into tears. Blood was splattered across her beautiful grey fur. Her mother was dead. And it was her fault.

She returned to camp at the side of Ripple'Song and Half'paw beside her. Sadness remained below her pelt. "Where's mother?" Her sister, Moon'paw gasped. "She's dead." Maple'paw looked at her paws in shame. "You let her die? She is old and fragile! You are young and flexible!" She hissed, stepping closer. "Don't be hasty." Ripple'Song ordered, flicking her tail. Moon'paw leaped onto Maple'paw, pushing her back with her paws. She clawed a shoulder. Maple'paw winced in pain as her back  felt like it snapped against the hard, brown floor. "You mouse brain!" Her sister cried to her, tears flooding her eyes. Maple'paw twisted uncomfortably under her sister, trying to escape. Moon'paw scratched her sisters neck with anger. "Stop!" Moss'star spat, leaping from the highrock. Thank you, Moss'star.

    Maple'Feather flew up, fear draining her eyes. The young warrior looked around, her fur messy. Where is Toast'feather? Oak'Tail? She shakily pushed herself up, exiting the warriors den. She walked with balancing grace, her ears high. "Evening, Half'leaf." Maple'Feather greeted the medicine cat. "Hello to you too, Maple'Feather," The medicine  cat dipped her head. "Say, have you possibly seen Oak'Tail pass through? Or Toast'feather?" She asked politely. "He's out hunting. Find him in the north fields." Half'leaf informed her, smiling and bobbing her head. "Thank you, Half'leaf!" Maple'Feather dipped her head, then sprinted off to the fields.

  She looked around, standing in the yellow fields. "Oak'Tail?" She whirled around, calling for him. "I'm here, Maple'Feather." The tom said from behind the fluffy She-cat. "Oh!" She jumped, her fur standing. "You prankster! I couldn't see you." She giggled, purring as she and the tom shared tongues. " I'm a white tom in the middle of the field. Are you sure you weren't ignoring me?" He joked, laughing. "Of course! I wouldn't come all this way to ignore you." She chuckled, shaking out her fur.
