Dewstep[/size][/font] The small queen nodded quickly to Otterspirit, turning to gather the other queens kits before Fadedmemory entered. Dewstep paused as the deputy spoke, indecision making her skitter about on her paws. "Tansyfrost? Could you take the kits back to the nursery?" she called quietly to the blind queen, just about the only other cat who was her size. She started rounding up Otterspirits litter, trying to keep them all together. Her eyes turned to Rhymekit at her question and visible pain entered her eyes. "Your mummy is just a bit upset. If you all go back to the nursery with Tansyfrost she'll be there in two minutes. Pixiekit, you'll look after your sister won't you?" she said to Rhymekit, before turning her attention to Pixiekit, hoping that if the kit had something to do she would oblige to leaving the den. She nodded towards Tansyfrost in thanks, forgetting the the gesture would be of no use to the queen before padding back over to Otterspirit, rubbing up againt the she-cat gently. Bramblekit[/size][/font] The small she-cat nodded, before her sharp ears caught the sound of Pixiekit's loud yell. She wrinkled her nose in confusion. "Pixiekit said he Daddy died?" she said, saying the statement as more of a question, looking up at her mother. She glanced over at Bearkit with a smile, glad her twin had joined them. She felt not quite complete when he wasn't around. She sat down next to her mother's head, waiting for Tawnysky to answer her question. [/sub]

otterspirit [/color][/center][/font] emerald's hold no hope [/i][/center][/color] Tears still ran in trails on her face as Fadedmemory comforted her. She kept her face in Barrenclaw's now-cold straw-colored fur. She wouldn't be able to stand not seeing his familiar face anymore. His addictive scent was now fully gone, swallowed up by the foul stench of death and it's brother, disease. No, she wouldn't leave her fallen mate's side, but she would look up. "Th-Thank you s-so much, D-Dewstep," [/color] she fumbled over her words as she turned to Fadedmemory. "H-H-He left m-me and h-he promised h-h-he w-wouldn't,"[/color] Otterspirit blubbered, looking in the deputy's eyes with her own wet, somber ones. Then she looked to her daughter, Pixiekit and nuzzled the hard she-cat. "G-Go with... D-D-Dewstep t-to the nursery a-and... k-k-keep your s-siblings in l-l-line. I'll b-be back... t-to you get y-you... g-g-guys in th-the m-morning. I l-love you, s-sweetie... pie,"[/color] she stuttered and choked out. It was awfully hard to keep a steady sentence when you had just lost the love of your life.[/size][/blockquote] mirrorkit [/font][/color][/center] well it must be difficult being so gorgeous [/color][/i][/center] She still lay in a tight ball in the corner of the den, her eyes wide and her eyesight blurred. She noticed the goings-on around her. Dewstep and all of the other resident queens had entered the medicine den along with the clan's deputy, Fadedmemory. Some of her friends and other litters came into see what all the racket was about. Her own family were the one mourning most heavily. She felt a little irritation as her own sister, Pixieit, did not cry over her father, but Mirrorkit would get to that later. The gray she-kit stood from her safe-haven and toddled over to the hubbub, tears still pouring from her yellow-brown eyes. She snuggled up to the nearest cat for comfort - who was Dewstep, who was more than just her mother's friend she was more like an aunt to Mirrorkit. "M-My daddy's... my daddy's d-d-dead," [/color] she cried, wiping her tears with her paws.[/size][/blockquote] |

tansyfrost Tansyfrost frowned as she heard the comnanding voice of Fadedmemory. What was this, a free-for-all? Tansyfrost had just wanted to be left alone after Grasswhistle had died. "I'm trying," her mew was despairing as she was ordered to keep her litter under control. She scooped Taigakit into her mouth and carried him into the nursery, knowing he would protest but too tired to fight with him. She placed him on her nest, and sniffed anxiously. Grasskit and Heatherkit were still there. She was only missing Jasminekit. She sighed in irritation and fear, pulling her three kits close to her body. Jasminekit would come back. She always did. Tansyfrost then pulled herself out of the nest again. "Wait here, okay?" The blind queen left the nursery, smelling her way over to Otterspirit's distraught and confused kits. She herded Spadekit and Pixiekit away first, murmuring comfortingly as she did so, and then grabbed Rhymekit by the scruff and set her down with her siblings. She picked up Mirrorkit in her mouth, knowing she was likely to get pummeled with tiny paws. They wanted to be with their mother, but Otterspirit didn't really want to think about them at the moment. She didn't blame her. Losing the one that you love... Tansyfrost gritted her teeth (mentally, for fear of hurting the kit in her mouth) and led Otterspirit's litter into the nursery. tawnysky Tawnysky stroked her son's head with a paw. He may have been prickly and difficult, but he was perfect in her eyes. Just like all of her kits. "I don't know, Bearkit," she mewed absently. She sighed irritably as she was called from her nest. She flicked her tabby son on the cheek lightly with her tail as she left the nursery. She frowned deeply at the scene. Otterspirit's mate was dead. Oh. Tawnysky couldn't help bearing her teeth at Fadedmemory. She always had to get involved, didn't she? Just like with Eaglecry... Tawnysky only disliked the deputy because she was terrified she would betray her. Tawnysky whipped around the camp quickly, sharply rounding up Carnationkit, Gannetkit, and all the other stray kits around, and bundled them unceremoniously back into the nursery. |

Dewstep[/size][/font] The petite female looked down as she felt a presence between her paws, her gaze softening as she saw Mirrokit. She bit her lip hard at the little kitten's distraught words, not letting herself cry. "I know sweetie and I'm so sorry. Go with Tansyfrost and Tawnysky and I'll be back soon" she said to her softly, before passing her over to Tansyfrost. She watched her sister herding away her own kits, quickly dropping her gaze in case Tawnysky was to glance her way. The sisters had still not resolved things. Her gaze turned back to Fadedmemory and Otterspirit, her whole stance tense. Carnationkit && Bramblekit Carnationkit dropped her head immediately as her aunt came towards her and scurried quickly towards the nursery. She had felt the tension in her mother's body whenever Tawnysky walked by so she was naturally a little afraid of the she-cat. Tears still made tracks on her cheeks as she entered the nursery and she swiftly stomped over to her nest, curling into a tight little ball. Bramblekit looked up as all the other cats re-entered, Otterspirit's litter especially upset. Her brow furrowed as she took in all the cats and she glanced at her twin before talking again to Tawnysky. "What's going on Mumma?" she asked the she-cat, still trying to make sense of it all.
