Chapter Twelve

Third person POV

Skypaw put her paws on her eyes. She couldn't sleep.

She rolled over to the side again, away from Dovetuft and Berrykit.

Dovetuft's ear twitched and she wrapped her tail around Berrykit. Dovetuft seemed to pause, then her soft blue eyes opened.

"Blazekit?" Her soft mew made Skypaw sit up. "What are you doing still up?"

Skypaw opened her mouth and let out a squeak.

"Oh... right..." Dovetuft's voice suddenly became sad. "I'm so sorry about your stolen voice my sweetie. I promise we'll find a way for you to speak to us."

Skypaw looked down at her paws. She felt a strange, forgien feeling that she hadn't experienced in a long while.

Happiness.

Someone actually cared for her in this world. Someone actually wanted her to be here.

Skypaw let out a purr, a noise she had not made in a long time. She snuggled back into the warmth of Dovetuft and shut her eyes.

Dovetuft smiled. She closed her eyes and drifted back to sleep.

As Skypaw was on the brink of falling asleep, she became sad all over again.

She wasn't even Blazekit. She had stolen a kit from this sweet, loving queen. Even though she believed she was Blazekit, Skypaw knew she would never actually be Blazekit.

Skypaw sniffled, and teardrops slowly made their way down her face and onto the floor.

Dovetuft woke with a start. Something was wrong. Then she heard a quiet sniff.

It was Blazekit. She was crying.

"Oh, sweetie. Don't cry. Mommy is here for you. You are the most beautiful being I've ever seen." Dovetuft nuzzled her kit.

That just made more tears fall down Skypaw's face.

Dovetuft sighed. She curved her body around her two kits and started singing softly.

"Lullaby, and good night, in the skies stars are bright.
May the moon's silvery beams bring you sweet dreams.
Close your eyes now and rest, may these hours be blessed.
'Til the sky's bright with dawn, when you wake with a yawn.

Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight.
I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms.

Sleepyhead, close your eyes, for I'm right beside you.
Guardian angels are near, so sleep without fear.
Lullaby, and good night, with roses bedight.
Lilies o'er head, lay thee down in thy bed.

Lullaby, and good night, you are mother's delight.
I'll protect you from harm, and you'll wake in my arms.

Lullaby, and sleep tight, my darling sleeping.
On grounds lit by moon beams, with a head full of dreams.
Sleepyhead, close your eyes, I'm right beside you.
Lay thee down now and rest, may your slumber be blessed.

Go to sleep, little one, think of pups and of kits.
Go to sleep, little one, think of butterflies in spring.
Go to sleep, little one, think of sunny bright mornings.
Hush, darling one, sleep through the night,
Sleep through the night,
Sleep through the night."

Yes the same lullaby I used in my wolf book. So what?
