"Dawnlight what's wrong with Frostkit?"
Featherkit asked. She saw the limp body of her sister, and Dawnlight curled around her. She turned around to see Mintleaf and Flowerpaw enter. Featherkit asked again,
"Dawnlight what's happening? Why are you crying? What's wrong with Frostkit?!"
Flowerpaw padded to Featherkit and stroked her back with her tail, comfortingly,
"Featherkit. Your sister is just... sleeping..."
Featherkit whirled around,
"No she isn't! We all have slept before and Dawnlight never cried!"
Mintleaf and Flowerpaw exchanged glances before looking at her. This time Mintleaf started,"Frostkit got sick... whitecough... and it only gotten worse... she didnt make it through... I'm sorry, Featherkit..."
Featherkit's eyes opened with shock, not knowimg what Mintleaf meant by 'didn't make it through'
"Shes okay right?"
Featherkit asked. Flowerpaw mewed gently,
"Of course she's okay little one... she's with starclan..."
Featherkit tilted her head,
"But Frostkit is right there... there can't be two Frostkit's can there? Can I talk to her?"
She asked, filling the medicine cats with questions. Dawnlight nudged Featherkit harshly, hissing as Featherkit squeaked,
"You mousebrain she's dead! Why can't you get your head out of the ground and start thinking like a real cat!"
Dawnlight cried while growling at Featherkit. Dawnlight then grasped Featherkit with her paw and brought her in close to her. Featherkit was shocked but stood still as Dawnlight nuzzled her gently, crying. Featherkit cried as well. She would never see Frostkit again. Although she was thankful her mother was the only one to tell the truth to her. She heard the words whispered in her ear from Dawnlight, in a weak cry,
"Im so sorry, Featherkit..."
