Amberlight ran to her sister. Cloudsky lay motionless on the ground. "Wake up!" Amberlight shook her. "Please!" 

Cloudsky groaned in pain. Blood spilled from the gash on high chest.  "Cloudsky!" Amberlight whispered again.  "Dawnkit's waiting for you!" 

But Amberlight saw death and deep pain in Cloudsky's eyes. "Take care of Dawnkit, ..... please, Amberlight. ..." Her eyes became frosted with death. 

"No!" Amberlight wailed. Dawnkit pressed against Cloudsky. "Why won't she wake up?" Dawnkit squeaked. "Is she sleeping?" "No," Sighed Amberlight. "Mommy! Mommy!" Dawnkit jumped on Cloudsky's corpse. "Stop! Stop, Dawnkit." Amberlight told the kit. "She's dead." 

"WHAT!?" Dawnkit gasped. "No! I can't lose another mother!" 

Amberlight understood what the kit meant. 

She was born to Shinecloud. But when Shinecloud died, Cloudsky took her in. 

Then, the fox continued it's rampage. It swiftly killed Amberlight. "Dawnkit...run!" Amberlight mewed. 

Dawnkit ran. Then, she quickly dived into the nursery cave.
