Otterkit snapped opened her eyes,frightened by the sharp scent of blood. Her dark brown fur pricked in dismay as she heard sounds of a battle,being only a kitten there was nothing she could do,frightened by what can appen to her mother,when she goes out to battle. CRACK! Her rapid breathing gave away how frightened Otterkit was.
She peeked out from the nursery and saw a motionless body of ginger and whie fur stained with blood. The small kit wailed out in horror when she saw it was her mother,her beatiful kind mother,bright emrald eyes now dull. Otterkit knew they would never open again. Otterkit shrank back taking a glance at Brightkits sleeping outline of the pale dawn light.Her chest slowly rising evenly.
Why?Why my mother? what had she done wrong? Otterkit silently cried to Starclan
Thick blood gushed from Sunfeather's -her mother- Otterkit padded over to her,The dark shadow of the Suclan attackers were on the horizon. Otterkits belly tightened with horrible grief. A soft voice came from behind her.,or was it in front of her,Otterkit heard the soft whispereing of her mother...right?
stay strong my brave beautiful daughter you will not grive... the wind seemed to tell her.
There were stars still in th sky dawn leaking slowly through where earth meets sky,some how somewhere there was a new star in the sky. Was it Sunfeather?Was she up there? Watching over me,protecting me? Otterkit wondered. All this thinking was tireing Otterkit out taking one last sorrowful glance at her dead mother wishing that her eyes would open once again Otterkit trudged back to her cushioney moss nest curling up next to her peacful sister unaware that anything happened.
