Juniper's despair (private Rp with CloverWitch)

**Casual Scribbles** · #1 February 7th, 2017, 01:14 PM

Juniper trudged through the snow, her white kit dangling limply from her jaws. The grey-furred queen shivered in the leaf-bare breeze. She forced her paws to keep moving, despite the hunger that sucked the life from her movement.

Maple's eyes drooped as she stared blankly in front of her. Her white kitten fur was fluffed up against the cold air but she was too weak to even shiver.

"J-Juniper... I'm cold..."

“I know Maple. Momma’s going to try and find someplace warm to stay the night, okay?” Juniper's eyes softened as the looked down at her kit. This was the third time the poor thing had mentioned being cold. A normal kit would probably have complained much more, but Maple and Juniper were hungry and leaf-bare didn't provide much food. The queen's breath rasped in her throat as she walked.

She wrinkled her pink nose in disgust as a sour smell traveled out of her mother's mouth, making her shudder. For days she had tolerated the smell from her mother as she had no idea what was causing it to have such a strong stench like that. Maybe it was because they had eaten crow-food here and there. "Your breath smells funny..." Maple stated but didn't flinch from the smell every time her mother had to breathe.

Juniper didn't reply. Her greencough had steadily gotten worse, despite the few herbs she could find. Her chest felt as if it were getting tighter with every breath.

A sudden cough made her drop Maple into the cold snow at her paws.

Maple landed in the snow but didn't let out a protest. Instead she just laid there, fur getting soaked by the snow. She shivered violently and closed her eyes, feeling weak and tired. I'm so sleepy. Maybe Juniper would be okay if I just slept here. I want to sleep.

“No, no, Maple! You have to stay awake, dear or else you’ll freeze to death.” Juniper cried, looking down at her daughter with a breaking heart. It was so cold. They needed to keep moving.

"I can't move, mama. I'm too tired. Can I ride on your back instead?" asked the kit. Maple tried to lift herself up to her paws and while she was putting a lot of effort into it, she didn't even budge. "I can't move..." Maple repeated tiredly.

Juniper nodded sadly. She lifted her poor, weak kit by the scruff and laid her on the back. Juniper continued on looking desperately for a warm place to sleep.
