Shellpaw smiled and cheered with his mom as all the new leader and healer cats were announced.
"Stormstar! Owltalon! Berryshine! Cobwebfern!" he called proudly. He pressed his face into Mama's warm fur like he used to as a kit. He listened as Mrs. Stormy talked about the otters. Uncle Jayfrost was on the patrol! He totally destroyed those otters, he knew it. But then Stormy said something weird. That they lost Jayfrost? He didn't know what that meant. But he thought that since they 'lost' him, they could find him again! But then he saw Mama's face, and he suddenly realized what 'lost' meant.
Uncle Jayfrost was dead.
He felt tears welling in his eyes, and his mama got up and walked away.
"MAMA!" he cried, tears streaming down his face.
"Mama, come back! Please!" he sobbed, running towards Goldfish. The small apprentice looked up as Stormy said something about an otter patrol. One who would try and fight the otters to avenge their Clanmates. He knew Mama wouldn't go.
But then she nodded yes.
"Mama NO! You can't go! Those otters killed Uncle Jayfrost! They'll kill you too!" he begged. He buried his face in Mama's chest fur, hoping that if he held on as long as possible, she wouldn't go. He ran up to the Skyridge, desperately scrambling up it until he was next to Stormy.
"Please, please don't let my Mama go! I lost my Papa, Uncle Jayfrost, my siblings, I can't lose Mama too!" To be fair, he'd never known Papa, he'd died before he was born, but still. He couldn't lose the only parent he had left.
