sound of silence || Gentlestorm

[Flamestar]

〔✦〕It was nice, having another soul in her den, if even just for a little bit. Though her clanmates knew about her first life loss in the fight, she hadn't shared that it hadn't just been one. They didn't need to know, not yet at least. The conversation she had with Howlingstar still warmed her. Part of her had hoped to of seen Flycatcher instead, but she would never complain about having the privilege of meeting with their former leader again. Though a beautiful blessing, it still felt surreal to have been in Starclan just a few days ago, and to wake back up in the forest...without a torn out throat to mark that she had indeed died. Her belly would still stung if she moved wrong, but Gentlestorm and Hopepaw's herbs were helping.

Her friend had come to check her wound, and visit for a while, and for that she was grateful. Being in this den was just another reminder at how lonely she was, a feeling she had come quite familiar with over the past couple months. She had wanted to ask Howlingstar how she had slept in here, by herself for all those moons...but their conversation had ended before the question had a chance to leave her tongue. They had been laying in silence for quite some time...before the air had gone silent, the pair had been discussing the recent weather, the abundance of leafbare kittens that were soon to come. "It was them." her voice was quiet at first, and she lowered her head onto her front paws. All three of the rogues were now dead, but she could still see each of their faces clear as day. "The rogues...They were the ones who killed him." They would have killed Squirrelpaw too, had she not slain them. But they never would have made it near her daughter, regardless if she hadn't sent her to run. As soon as the tom had mentioned her mate, they had sealed their fate.
