Flamewhisker — I'll sleep when I'm dead
TW: MENTIONS OF DEATH, BLOOD, GORE, ETC
Just a little farther...
The forest around her was a blur. She was fairly certain she was almost to the camp...Crossing the border had been nearly impossible. It had been easy to find her way back through Skyclan's forest...all she had to do was follow the blood trail. The battle site was gruesome, and not just because of the blood that littered the ground...it held too many fresh memories. Memories that had an all new meaning to them. Memories that she had to share. She had to tell a mother that her child was never coming home.
Flamewhisker could smell the camp nearby, but she stopped before proceeding. The adrenaline was wearing off now, and between the coppery smell of blood, and everything she had witnessed, she couldn't keep her stomach calm any longer. Vile erupted from her, and she stumbled out of its way. Her eyes were sticky with dried tears, and she tripped over a root that was half exposed with snow. She began to cry again...this was too much...she didn't want to face her clanmates. How was she going to tell them?
Hauling herself to her paws again, the warrior slowly began to walk towards the camp again. Her legs were trembling with both weakness and pain. Even in Thistleback's weakened state, he had put quite a hurting on the young she-cat. But those wounds were nothing compared to her mental wounds. The physical ones would heal.
She could hear her clanmates talking now, that's the main way she knew she was padding through the entrance. Her vision was still blurred from the battle, and who knew what the thoughts swirling in her head was doing. The smell of blood and Skyclan would surely strike up an alarm.
The ginger tabby was probably unrecognizable. Her front alabaster paws were stained scarlet, both from Thistleclaw, and the deep bite wound around her ankle. A chunk of flesh was missing from her shoulder. Drying blood masked one side of her face from several slashings...and dried blood from Morningpaw was starting to crust along her back. Her legs were trembling, and her gaze was wide with horror but glazed with grief.
She heard footsteps, but all she could hear was her racing heart pounding in her ears. Words...words...she needed to speak. Her mouth was dry, and her throat was hoarse...
"I n-...I need...Emberstar...n..Howing...wind...find them now..." she wasn't sure who she was talking to yet...she wasn't sure what to say. "and...L-Little W-Wolf.."
