Acorn ; Loner ; Thirteen Moons Old
Fire...
The she cat shuddered as she remembered that night.
Her mother, sister, and father... trapped...
A tear rolled down her cheek.
"Acorn! Come on! We can't save them.... we must save ourselves!"
The she cat shook the memory from her mind. Arrow had disappeared too... since that day... as for Loki, well, she could only hope he was safe with his new family...
Silvery-green eyes came to a close. Around her neck the collar her former twoleg had given her remained, though it looked like it could fall off at any moment. The bell that had once been on it was long gone ...
"Even though... I have survived... this wounded heart of mine may as well have killed me..." Speaking to herself in her quiet voice... it was a habit the she-cat picked up after living on her own. She didn't want to forget the sound of her own voice... to forget conversation... to forget love...
Silence. Her ears twitched and the she-cat lay her body down in the grass, curling up in the warmth of the sun. Things might get worse before they got better but... they would get better eventually.
