"Thank you Swiftcreek," Nightshade replied, making direct eye-contact; something she hadn't done in moons. "I hope Silverblaze is eating something, even if it's a mouse. If he goes too much longer without, he'll...die." She barely choked the wretched word out. There was a brief silence, and she began to think about what would happen to her brother if he did die. "He doesn't believe," she whispered, almost to herself. "Will StarClan still take him to join their ranks when he dies? Will he get to see the rest of his family ever again?" Perhaps she should ask Falconwing. He was young, but he was bound to know.

"Will StarClan still take him to join their ranks when he dies? Will he get to see the rest of his family ever again?"
Swiftcreek licked her paw and drew it over her ear. "StarClan will find a way to show him that they care about him." she mewed, trying to reasure Nightshade. "As for him seeing his family, they will visit him no matter where he goes when he dies." she looked up. "And I'll have a word with Falconwing. He might be able to help Silverblaze." she smiled. "He helped me after something happened to me. I was so wrapped up in greif, I forgot to eat or groom myself. It wasn't too long ago," Swiftcreek added, sighing.

Nightshade almost asked what had happened, but then stopped herself. There was enough sadness already, and old wounds didn't need to be reopened. Falconwing was wise; he would know exactly what to do. She tried not to let herself worry about Silverblaze for now. Instead, she decided to set her head down and take a much needed nap. She could see her family in her dreams, if they wished. Peachblossom, however, would have to come. She definitely would. It wasn't right to take her own life and then never visit her family again! Nightshade took in a deep breath, closed her eyes, and thought to herself...
She'll come... She loves me; we're sisters.

Swiftcreek finished washing herself, lost in sad memories. Then the dream came back. The water was surrounding her thoughts, engulfing her. She smiled at the picture of Mintfur being young and carefree again, but it quickly vanished. The thoughts cleared and Swiftcreek looked down on Nightshade. Her eyes were closed. Swiftcreek smiled and quietly slipped out of the den to find Falconwing.
(gr not much to work with, sorry D: )

Hawktalon, gave a little sigh. During the whole of the she-cats' conversation he kept silent. Really he just wished to be alone with Nightshade. She made him happy and it comforted him that he made her just a little bit happy. When Swiftcreek bounded away he turned to Nightshade and gave her a comforting lick on the ear. He watched as she curled up and closed her eyes. He smiled. "There's a sweet, happy cat somewhere inside of you Nightshade." He curled up next to her. "I know it" Surrounded by Nightshade's sweet scent he fell into a light doze. It was just enough to slow his breathing own and comfort his own senses. |
