❦ ❦ ❦ “Tansypaw.” A loud voice woke the rust-toned she-cat from a restless sleep. “Five more minutes, Beepaw.” She murmured, forgetting herself. “It’s… it’s Beeflight now,” he mumbled. She sat up. “Well, I’m glad you were made a warrior for accompanying my brother as he b!ed out.” She spat, her head brushing the top of the den she was kept in. Beeflight took a step back. “That’s not what I meant, and you know that.” The regret on his face was enough to make Tansypaw cringe. “I’m sorry. I just… I’m sorry.” She buried her face in her paws. “Hey, it’s fine. I’m sorry as well. I haven’t checked on you since Darkpaw’s vigil.” Beeflight told Tansypaw, sitting down next to her. While Beeflight’s presence usually comforted her, Tansypaw only felt anxious. She tried not to squirm, but it was hard not to shy away from her friend. “Hey, can I tell you a story?” He asked carefully, sensing Tansypaw’s discomfort. She mumbled an answer Beeflight couldn’t quite make out, but he started talking anyway. “Long ago, when the Clans were new, a brave kittypet named Raven joined RushClan. Raven’s fur was black as the night and glossy and smooth as if it was always kept wet. Her eyes were two colors, one of them a bright yellow, and the other, a dark emerald green. The cats of RushClan were quick to take a liking to Raven, for she was pretty and always helpful. “There was one thing about Raven that made the cats nervous, however. She wouldn’t speak, no matter how hard the other cats tried to talk to her. She would sit in silence, repairing a den or eating some prey. But soon, one of her friends, Little Rose, had to leave RushClan. She was devastated, for Little Rose had been a true friend, and was always kind. Now, Raven was full of sadness. “Soon, there was a fire. It ate up the dry, cracked ground and the rotting trees. It took many cats from both Clans. But for a split second, Raven thought she saw Little Rose in the flames, and charged in to save her. But there was no Little Rose, and Raven was trapped between the flames. Without her voice, no one could hear her, and now one could save her.” ❦ ❦ ❦
