Featherkit was shaken by a paw. She woke up with a jump, and noticed Whitepaw shaking her. The kit saw two warriors next to him. One of which was Whitepaw's mentor, Mousestripe, and the other, Iceflash.
"Does... Does she have to go?"
Featherkit asked looking at her sister's limp body. Mousestripe nodded, his dark brown pelt ruffled from the wind, and his long tail flicking side to side. Whitepaw glanced at Featherkit,
"If you want, you can come with us."
Mousestripe made a sideways glance at his apprentice,
"Good idea, but next time make sure to consult me?"
A flicker of ammusment shone in his eyes. Featherkit looked at them smiling, and pleadingly. After a few moments of a pause, Mousestripe continued,
"So I guess... I'd have to say yes..."
Featherkit almost squeaked with joy but remembered that it was a burial not a celebration of victory.
The group padded along with Mousestripe carrying Frostkit, and Iceflash beside him, and Whitepaw in the back beside Featherkit. Whitepaw made sure to keep glancing behind him to keep a close eye on Featherkit. He slowed his pace to match steps with her,
"Dont think of it sadly... think of it... hmm... think of it as a celebration that she was here... and now shes happy, which is even better..."
Featherkit looked up at the white tom,
"B- I guess you're right..."
She felt the apprentice nudge her a little bit before they arrived to where they were burying Frostkit.
As the patrol finished burying Frostkit, Featherkit held back tears, Goodbye, Frostkit. Her paws could barely hold her after that walk, and her paws were much slower. She gazed at Whitepaw, slowing down for her. He picked her up by the scruff and hoisted the kit onto his back,
"Im not surpised a kit would be exaughsted from this..."
He joked a little. Iceflash looked at them laughing,
"Im surprised she lasted this long! I would expect her to collapse when we were halfway there!"
Featherkit was taken aback. Is he insulting me?! She shook her head and let her body relax, arriving at camp.
