⚘ . . . By this hour, the moon had already long taken its place in the sky, showering the land with beams of silver. The night was completely silent, save for the gentle snores that arose from within the warriors den as cats slumbered, preparing themselves for the new dawn.

Her heart ached at the thought that by the time morning came, she would no longer be waking up next her family… at least, not until she brought back Buttonpaw. But when she did, maybe Applehug would forgive her. Maybe she’d be happy again. That’s all Beancherish really wanted, after all. And so, she walked the path she’d followed many times throughout her short life, the well-worn ground beneath her paws as familiar as the stars were to the moon.
