” now when i pick this up, “ the molly sits up with a heavy swing, thick cheek fluff splaying to either side of her squared muzzle. dirt matts where pale blond and orange twine together, scraps of leaves and grass jutting from beneath the thick wisps of fur. when she turns her head towards emberkit it is with a wide, small - toothed grin, beaming high enough to scrunch meadowland eyes at the corners. a large, tufted paw comes down heavy on the stone they had dug free from the ground at the edge of camp, dust and debris , ” they’re gonna run! y’gotta jump fast if you’re gonna catch one, ‘specially a cool one. “ her voice lowers dramatically, as if telling him a secret, just between the two of them.
little to her little brothers knowledge, it was far from it — memories of early life, of blind, brilliant youth, rabbitnose had done just the same for her and sparkpaw.. mousepaw had never quite had the same inclination, but freckleflame for the world could not understand why ( she very much could. ). muddy paws and bright smiles, she remembers plodding home at her fathers heels with her pelt scattered in insect wings, remembers the sigh of dismay sunfreckle had let out upon sight of her. it perks her ears suddenly, head swinging down, ” now if dad asks, we were practicing our hunting skills. “ and they were, in truth — very specific truth, and an easier excuse to swallow. she perks her ears, ” and put your ears down when ya say it, he’s a sucker for that. okay! “
freckleflame leans up to full height, nearly vibrating in her skin where she divots a paw beneath the loose stone — it was not the same stone as rabbitnose had flipped for her and her brother, but she feels the pang in her chest all the same. it’s bittersweet, a reminder of mortality ; but emberkit has been a light in their darkness, a light she’d avoided in fear. this kitten was stronger than her, even in his earliest days ; at least he had been present for her fathers troubles, instead of busying time with duties she’s stolen from others to keep herself occupied. he was small, but she had been this small, once. had crouched, just like emberkit would do before.. she promptly flips it, sending the insects burrowed underneath to a full, wide scatter from their dank hiding place, ” attack! “ and that, she hopes, would chase her line of thought away. the feeling, she knows, will not.
