Smokygaze has a deep gash on her neck, as her body was covered in scars. A tall brown she with yellow and ginger speckles was leaning over her mother, as she applied herbs. Fidgetkit attempted to curl up by Smokygaze but Treestem shooed her away with her twig like tail.

Fidgetkit whimpered, as Treestem finally looked over. "I'm sorry, Fidgetkit. She has her chance of survival, but you'll have to sleep with Goldentuft for a while." Fidgetkit found Treestem's gaze emotionless, as she shivered. "M-make sure she's alright.." Treestem let out a frustrated sigh, did Fidgetkit hear annoyance in her voice? "She'll be fine, Fidgetkit."

Fidgetkit sat, as Treestem resumed to patching her wounds, as she heard footsteps. She assumed the warriors must be coming back. "Your mother did a great job defending the nursery." Treestem murmured. "She'll have to lay here, though. It's too risky to move her." My mom is the best..

It was now moonhigh, Fidgetkit couldn't find sleep, she slept alone in the moss. She obnoxiously snorted, Sandkit left her no space. Fidgetkit rubbed her eyes, as she licked the dried blood on her pawpads from earlier. Letting out a hushed sigh, she quietly crept out of the den, staring at her mother at the side of the camp peacefully sleeping, then looked up at silverpelt.

The sun would rise, as the bright rays of light peeked through the trees. Fidgetkit covered her one eye, adjusting to the light. Letting out her usual morning yawn, she found Galekit sitting next to her. "You slept out here, why?" Fidgetkit found it hard to
answer, then she'd finally admit it. "I couldn't sleep."

She then turned to her sleeping mother, she covered the worry in her eyes as she turned and stared at Galekit. "What happened to your parents?" Galekit tilted his head uneasily. "I'm- not sure.. I only re-" Fidgetkit interrupted. "Does your parents have scars like Smokygaze's?" Galekit rubbed his head. "I only remember my father, he just had a erm- belly scar."

Snapping out of it, Fidgetkit rose to her paws, which her eyes were immediately bright with happiness. "Let's go annoy a warrior Galekit, come on!"
