Hello! Here’s my CCE! I had a lot of fun doing this and so I wanted to write a story to go with it. Enjoy! I knew they were gone before it was over. It had been a normal mid-winter day, then I made a dumb choice. “Let’s go watch the sunset the the ravine! The view is amazing!” I said, wanting just one moment alone with them. *Maybe I can finally tell them…* I thought, blushing when they agreed to come. We chatted the way there, laughing and smiling. It felt like the perfect day, yet… when we made it to the ravine ice coated the edge. Covered by a dusting of snow, I didn’t realize it was there. “Race you to the edge!” They yelled to me and dashed ahead. “Wait up!” And yelled and dashed after. It happened so fast, I could do anything. They reached the edge and tried to stop, but continue to slide. “Brookfur!” They screamed as they slid over the edge, still trying to claw their way up. I stopped, stunned and unable to move. “Stoneleap?” I cried walking carefully over to the edge. “No…no,no,no,no…” I whispered, sinking onto my hind legs. I knew it was my fault. I brought us to the ravine during winter, I should have know about the ice on the edge. Tears dripped down my face, freezing in my fur. I couldn’t go back to the clan not now, not after this. I wasn’t ready. So I stayed at the edge and watched the stars. “I’m sorry.” I whispered again, “please don’t hate me…” I whispered, hoping they would hear me. A grey and shimmering cat seemed to appear in front of me. “I’m sorry” they seemed to whisper and slowly faded away, leaving me alone, once again.
