Rippleflower's Sorrow

Rain slept peacefully in the curve of her mother's stomach, loving the days of a kit, although she knew she would have to open her eyes today. Suddenly, she heard a growl, and her mother hissed.
Rain wondered what was happening, deciding to open her eyes to see what was going on.
"Go away, Tigerfoot! I told you that when..."
"When what, Flower? When I killed...Reedfeather? Oh that was nothing. My only punishment was being exiled."
My mother then stood up, startling the kit beside her. "M-moth-mother? Who is th-that?" Rain asked quietly.
"Hush, my darling, I'll protect you," was all Flower said.
Suddenly, Tigerfoot jumped forward screeching into battle. But Flower stood her ground, knowing she was still weak from kitting by herself two days earlier, wanting to protect her one surviving kit.
