Nightfire felt all along Spottedstars back, and felt a gap, and then a lump. "Her spine, its broken" he murmed, so only ones close to him could hear. He gave a sigh and felt her chest. Her breathing had stopped, and her heart along with it. He took a step back. "Her first life, its gone." he whispered. Surely some had heard him, so he spoke yet again. "Stay back everyone, let her come back and rest. She will need it."
Olivepaw and Echopaw gasped. "Mom!" he tried to go forward but his sister stopped him "No, let her be. She isn't gone, she will be back."
