The River Takes
"No! Rosekit!" Maplekit yowled. Rosekit was pulled under then up again down the swirling dark river. Streamsong, one of the Warriors broke through the leaves followed by the other warriors. Streamsong stopped short looking down the river tears forming in her eyes. "What aren't you trying to save her remember the warrior code!" Maplekit yowled frantically at Streamsong."It's too late now..." Streamsong said looking mournfully at the river. "Let's get you back to camp now before you fall."
They walked slowly towards the camp. It had stopped raining. Drops of water slid off the leaves. Maplekit stubbed her paw on a root but felt nothing for all she was focused on was Rosekit's death. Finally they reached camp after what seemed hours.
"Oh! I was looking everywhere for you! Where's Rosekit?" Said Redcloud looking around.
"S-s-she..." Maplekit stuttered unable to get the words out. Maplekit smelled a strong nursery scent on her mother,no other scent. She was furious at her mother. She lied to her just to make her feel better! "You're lying! You didn't try to search for us at all!" Maplekit yowled at her mother "You could have atleast looked around camp!" With that Maplekit hid in the medicine cat den. Whitecloud looked up from her herb sorting.
"Hello." Whitecloud said.
"Rosekit died." Maplekit said firmly " I want to be a medicine cat like you."
"I'll see to it with Songstar." Whitecloud replied.
