Goldenwing ran through the forest, blinded by grief. She ran and ran until she reached the edge of the territory. The river seemed to sparkle in the moonlight ahead of her. She stayed near the trees while tears streamed down her face. She looked up to the stars, glittering in the sky. "Badgerstripe!" She wailed. Which one was him? What felt like only a few heartbeats ago a limp Badgerstripe was carried into the camp after a battle with ShadowClan. Grayfeather had said that no herbs could help him. He was already on his way to StarClan. After that Grayfeather treated the rest of the warriors. Why did ShadowClan have to ambush his patrol? Why Badgerstripe? The black and white tom had always been a loyal warrior and mate. Goldenwing ran out of the camp soon after he died. She couldn't be there. And she definitely didn't want to be anywhere near the ShadowClan border. "Goldenwing?" said a she-cat in a soft voice. "What is it?" Goldenwing asked, her voice thick with emotions. "Do you want to head back to the camp for the vigil now?" A Siamese she-cat asked sitting down next to Goldenwing. "Just a while longer Dawnfur," Goldenwing told the deputy. "Swiftstar is waiting for you to get back before the vigil," Dawnfur mewed, her long tail placed neatly over her paws. Goldenwing stared at the stars for a while longer, but for what felt like an eternity for her. "Let's go," She sighed. "Okay," Dawnfur dipped her head before leading the way back to camp. Goldenwing took one last glance at the stars. "Goodbye Badgerstripe. I'll never forget you my love."
@swifteye for ze contest I like Owl City my story gave me feels I saw a picture of a cat. I tried to color this like it. I failed. Still looks good though. I named her Goldenwing because the CC's name is 'Broken Wing' and because of the title of the song. And her 'golden' splotches.
