The experienced warrior left her den, weary and depressed. Her blue eyes, now dull, looked at the lonely and quiet camp. All her clanmates were still sleeping as the sun was beginning to disappear in the horizon but... she wasn't able to sleep after all that happened. Her sons... her beloved sons were now resting in Starclan. Darkpaw, Ashpaw, Sootpaw and... Hailpaw... They were all gone from one day to another.
The brown tabby she-cat moved slowly to the fresh-kill pile but when she was standing in front of it, she remembered the first day her kits left the den. Her blue eyes started to be filled with tears as she saw her own paws... and she could almost see her four sons playing between them. Why? Why did Starclan take them so young? Was it her fault? Was she a bad mother? Cedarstorm blamed herself... she should have done something... she was their mother and now they were dead. What was the point of being here if she wasn't able to take care of her family? Her eyes glanced at the medicine cat den. There she was another cat that she wasn't able to protect: Curlyfeather. She was her only sister... her only family and now the grey warrior was completely deaf.
The warrior closed her eyes and clenched her teeth. She couldn't be weak now... she had to live even with all this misery. Even in her sorrow... even if Cedarstorm wanted to give up and don't fight any longer... she had to learn how to fight. She would learn how to live again... for her kits... for her remaining family. That's what motivated to open up her eyes once again and pick up two rodents.
Slowly but determined, the weary she-cat made her way back to the warrior's den and she searched for her mate, Crowfur. During the past days, she had noticed that the shy tom was getting even quieter than usual and that he wasn't looking at her eyes anymore. It was almost like he was avoiding her on purpose... but who could blame him? The dark-furred tom was suffering as well. However, Cedarstorm couldn't deal with the pain alone anymore. She needed Crowfur... and he probably needed her as well.
With one paw, she nudged him gently.
"Evening, Crowfur. Sorry for waking you up. I brought you something to eat. I thought we could share this meal together..." She purred laying down next to him and placing the two pieces of prey in front of the tom. Now that they were closer, she noticed how skinny he was even under all that long fur of his. The she-cat immediately worried about him.
"Crowfur... How are you feeling?"______________________________________
