❝ it's gonna hurt for a bit of time ❞

Sunfreckle! The scream was garbled, like trying to speak through water. Agony filled, horror-struck. A wolf stood before her, taunting her with it's glowing amber eyes.

Except for this night, as her eyes trailed across the sleeping forms of her clanmates, they met with a pair of blue ones. Palefire was also awake. To the other she-cat, she nodded toward the exit of the den, and she carefully stood and stepped around the other warriors.

She looked up to the stars. They were beautiful that night, no clouds to obstruct the glittering lights. Once she felt Palefire's presence beside her, she rasped out, "You have trouble at night, too?"
