"watch over my beloved" ~ A tan queen with beautiful eyes and dark markings peeked her head out of the burrows that sheltered her and her family. she needed some air from the suffocating den. ~ A cough racked her body, the same cough that had been there for days. her chest felt tight. but loosened up as she got the fresh air she needed. ~ she turned back to look at the shelter. memories flooded her and she settled into the grass around her home. 'I've come so far' she thought to herself. a sadness ran through her as she remembered everything that had happened during her childhood. the public m0rd3r of cats, her sister on a separate occasion dy!ng. and in the recent moons she had also felt the grief of loss. Pebblespark. she didn't even get to mourn her correctly. to sit by echo's b0dy, breathing in her scent until her best friend was gone. none. ~ but at the same time. she thought of all the things that had brought her joy. Pebble. her one love, to have and to hold, for sickness and for health. sure ae wasn't perfect, no cat ever is. Then her kits. oh her perfect little kits, born a moon ago. then her 4 adopted kits. 2 from a previous litter, and 2 that were currently her biological kits age. she loved them like her own. ~ As crocuswhisper sat outside time seemed to fly. her cough gradually got worse. taking it as a sign to go inside she did. ~ the next evening crocuswhisper went to grab some fresh air again. this time catching a whiff of sompthing. it made her fur rise. dog. she heard a faint bark. it had been nearby. ~ Crocuswhisper followed the scent. wanting to make sure it wouldn't hurt her family or her campmates, that's when the wind changed. she no longer smelled the dog. but the dog smelled her. she heard a rough excited bark, and dread filled her from nose to tail. ~ a cough racked her body and she bolted away from the camp, not wanting it to find her vulnerable kits. as she ran she heard the dog getting closer and closer. she desperately looked around for somewhere to hide. none. not a tree nor a bush in sight. her lungs screamed for air as her chest felt heavier and heavier. the dog's bark seemed to mock her. she heard the excitement in the bark and a terrible thought formed in her head 'is this where I d!e?'. ~ she stumbled, coughed, and tried desperately to get up. her body screamed. but it was too late. she already smelled the dog coming up on her. it was too late. she couldn't do anything. a terrible pain tore through her body. ~ her last moments were not to be desired. not even on her worst enemy. but as she lay there, helpless. she prayed to starclan. ~ 'oh why starclan, that you would bring me here? my pain is unbeable, end it please.' a desperate cry ~ 'keep my family safe, please. I cant bear the thought of losing them' a prayer starclan would not keep ~ and finally ~ 'starclan. watch over my-' a thought she would never finish, her acceptance. ~ she wasn't found until the next afternoon, torn to pieces. she would be in the fields of starclan. wandering and watching over her beloved. though it would be a lifetime before she would talk to any of them again.
