Tw: D3@th, guilt, bl00d, slightly descriptive mentions of attacking/ripping Continue at your own risk ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Curi sat by the fresh-k!ll pile, her tail flicking back and forth as she waited for someone to talk to her. She hadn’t seen her friends or family today, and she was getting rather bored. As she stood up, Echo let out a warning chirp from her shoulder, indicating that someone was coming back into camp. Not paying attention to that, she glanced around for someone to talk to, frowning as she realized that she didn’t see anyone she knew. Where was Honeydew, or Indie? Were they all sleeping or something? She began to walk towards the warriors den before pausing as she heard shouts of dismay from behind her. Huh? And when she turned around, everything cracked and crumbled Honey, being dragged into camp like a limp piece of prey, her fur coated in that red liquid that would haunt her for days afterwards. For a moment she was just rooted in place, wondering if her brain was playing tricks on her or if she was just dreaming. A bug nearly flew into her eye, reminding her that this was in fact not a dream but the terrible reality she was now in. No! Her legs shook as she watched them bring her friend, her sister-in-law, up to the clearing, only a mouse-length away from the protector’s trembling paws. A small breeze fluttered through the unmoving she-cat, making it look like she was breathing if she were to start squinting. But she wasn’t, and she would never again. A ch0ked sob escaped from the orange and white cat, sinking to the ground and burying her head in Honeydew’s cold fur. It was cold already. She was far too gone Why did the last cat she cared so much about have to be ripped away from her? Her best friend for life, her sister-in-law for only a moon or two. This wasn’t fair! She was supposed to live longer with her, watch her new kits grow up and laugh together! Wasn’t Fair Murmurs and voices crowded around her, comforting her but also trying to reach the d3@d protector. Curi let out a hiss as someone tried to pull her again, gripping onto the ends of Honey’s fur. She wasn’t leaving! Never! Maybe she could just stay here forever holding her friend, no one even cared about her as much as her anyway, no one would mind. Even Indie probably didn’t care about her as much ever since Willow’s exile and the rumors. Honey was the last cat The Last One She would hardly hear the other wails around her, barely reacting as someone stated that it had been a fox’s fault. What kind of fox was strong enough to take down Honeydew? It just simply wasn’t possible. It had to be someone else’s fault Had to be She slowly lifted her head, her cheek fur stained with splatters of the fallen protector’s bl00d and Curi’s own tears Someone /had/ to have the answer to why the fox had overpowered Honey, someone must know. She began to ask, to plead for answers, but it seemed like everyone was as clueless as she was. Well then Still unable to stop the steady flow of her tears, she dragged herself around her sister-in-law’s body, looking for any signs of something else or maybe, just maybe, a sign that she was still alive. And that’s when she found it Long, jagged claw-marks along her shoulders that seemed fresh enough to have happened in the past day or so, but not enough to have been done by a fox. /Cat/ claw-marks Cat CAT Someone had done something to her friend. Someone that had weakened her enough so that she couldn’t properly fight off the predat0r. She whipped back around to the gathered cats, scanning their faces for any recognition. Finally, one of the cats uttered a word that burned throughout the protector’s mind UrchinClan Those fox-hearted mvd3rers! Of course it was them that had fought Honeydew, of course they had caused enough h that she just couldn’t defend herself! This couldn’t be allowed to stand, something had to be done. She wasn’t about to let those mange-pelts get away with this Not on her watch Her claws unsheathed and dug into the ground under her as her anger only grew, the urge to t3ar whoever had done that to her friend into pieces getting stronger. She would find them and make sure that they wished they were never born She would avenge Honeydew if it was the last thing she ever did ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well this is awkward Um so she doesn't know who attacked Honeydew yet, luckily for her sanity, but I think she'll end up finding out eventually Personally I am going to miss being able to RP with Honey, she was a great grinding partner for Curi and really got her lore going! I wish you luck on your next cat! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
