Leopardfang lingered outside the apprentice den, his mind still racing from the day’s events. It was meant to be a normal day, he and Sparkpaw went with one of the morning’s hunting patrols. One moment she was fine - chatting away with not a care in the world - and the next, she was on the ground with a head wound the size of his own paw. Even as a warrior, he knew head wounds bled a lot more than normal wounds, but she wasn’t moving. Or breathing for that matter. They dropped everything and rushed her back to Featherlight, but there was nothing she could do. Sparkpaw was with StarClan now. Leopardfang cursed and hissed as much as he could, not wanting to believe that it was true, how could he lose two kits and an apprentice in the same moon?, but eventually he gave up. Sparkpaw’s body was in camp now, getting ready for the Pyre, but all of this had happened in the early hours of the morning, he wasn’t even sure Breezepaw was awake yet. How do you tell someone their sister is dead? Taking a breath, he stepped in, careful to not make too much noise. ”Breezepaw?” he called. ”I need to speak with you.”simonwho |

The young ginger tom had been sleeping in his nest, still curled up tightly, tail covering his nose. He hadn't even heard his sister leave the den earlier that morning. At the sound of his name, he stirred, yawning and blinking sleep from his eyes. It was...Leopardfang? "Huh? Am I late for training...?!" The apprentice leapt to his paws, panic coursing through his veins.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to sleep for so long! Is Sparkpaw mad at me?" He said, ears perked.
Then he noticed...something was wrong. Terribly wrong. He hadn't seen any cat look at him like that before. Was that sadness he saw in the toms eyes. "Where...Where's Sparkpaw?" The young tom didn't dare move from his spot, frozen in place as fear took over. He'd thought it was odd that a warrior came to wake him rather than his sibling, but he didn't think that at first. Not until he saw that look.

Oh, StarClan.
Leopardfang took a breath as he sat down in front of the younger tom. He opened his mouth to speak, but he found that nothing would come out. He calmed himself - Breezepaw needed him, now, he could grieve later. He squared himself and stared at Breezepaw, a quiet comforting side he rarely showeD to anyone other than his kits, and laid his tail on his shoulder.
Here goes...
”Sparkpaw... had an accident this morning. She... a branch fell and hit her in the head.” he mewed

It almost felt as if time froze for him. He stared up at the taller tom with wide eyes, ears pinned back against his head. With the way he said it, he knew his sister was either dying, or...already dead. Breezepaw shook his head, wanting to think this was a terrible dream. He'd wake up, with his sister next to him, just now getting up to go train, right?
But he didn't.
His body began to shake as he padded forward, pushing past the warrior and looked about the camp, eyes landing on his sisters body. A strangled cry left him as he rushed forward, paws outstretched as he collapsed beside her, gently shaking her. It felt as if a nightmare had become real. He was alone, his best and only friend gone. The tom didn't even get a chance to speak with her that day; he had stayed up too late practicing some moves his mentor had taught him. "Come on Sparkpaw...Please wake up..."

Leopardfang stumbled as the apprentice shoved past him, his anguished cry ringing in his ears as he stood. He hesitantly padded up to Breezepaw and laid his paw on the younger tom’s shoulder. He didn’t have much experience with comfort - even when Pebblesong died, he wasn’t too torn up, because that was just the life of a warrior.
Sparkpaw though...
”I’m so sorry, Breezepaw. There was nothing Featherlight could do...”

The ginger tabby shook as he looked at his sister. Sparkpaw looked as if she was asleep, and he'd believe it if it wasn't for the head wound. He froze as Leopardfang's paw touched him, looking back at him with wide eyes.
The apprentice wanted to be angry, but he knew the warrior couldn't have known. His gaze returned to his sister, gently grooming her fur. He felt bad; he was going to become a warrior without her. It almost felt as if he was breaking his promises to her. Breezepaw had never felt more completely and utterly alone, despite his entire clan being there.
