Life was flourishing around her. Kits played. Elders shared stories of their former glory. Mentors were teaching their new apprentices the best way to stalk a bird, or where to find soft moss. But for Lilycloud, life was incomplete. She was incomplete. Although her heart still swelled with love for her mate and two beautiful kits, something very crucial was missing. Her sister.
Ever since kitten hood, Lilycloud had always counted on Scorpionfang. When their mother died, it had been them against the world. Scorpionfang's loyal heart and tough exterior had been a perfect parallel to Lilycloud's shy smiles and open love. They knew each other's darkest secrets, even without knowing that they knew.
But now, that was over. Scorpionfang was dead. Poisoned. Nothing Lilycloud could do would bring her back.
Never again would she get pinned down in a sparring match by her clever kin, only to hear a sarcastic remark. Never again would she hear that she needed to quit hesitating to pounce. Never again would she hear the teasing about her crush on Smokeshade. All of that was gone, leaving a foreboding question; What now? Lilycloud had no idea.
