Prompt:

The sound of breaking rock, screaming and paws thundering towards her, a screech followed by a sickening crunch.
The cries of a mother, followed by cold, empty silence.
She looked ahead at the stalactite that had fallen. The body sprawled out under it, a pool of blood forming beneath it.
She felt her heart break, she couldn't take it.
She turned and ran out of the cave, sprinting until she slipped and fell down
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx down
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx down
into the water below.
She splashed to shore after the initial shock wore off and staggered away
Her first loss
Her first love
Her first mate
The two had been expecting kits, Emberflare's brother was even kind enough to be a surrogate for the two when they announced it
Now she, and the kits inside of her, were gone
Emberflare crawled into a small cave and curled up before crying herself to sleep.

Prompt: the past

A she-cat's muzzle touched lightly to the dirt as she sniffed and parted her jaws, taking in the surrounding scents. The female was alone, searching along dried brush in a vacant clearing for a chance at a meal - something hard to come by lately. The entire area seemed to be evacuated of any other life, excluding the occasional buzzing of an insect. She needed to find food soon, already having gone several days without a significant meal. Her sister was getting so thin..

The smallest movement of brittle grass made the feline poise her ears, high on alert for the possible grub near by. Her eyes flickered across her line of vision, irises composed of amber flecks within mandarin ovals. Her pelt mashed together with the scenery, a dusty orange speckled body and white tipped ears, giving her the perfect advantage to surprise her prey.

Eyes finally locking onto the small vole sitting just to the side of a boulder, her muscles tensed. It wasn't much of a meal, a small snack really, but it was better than starving if she could manage to catch it. Over two weeks without a meal left her weak and disoriented, but she kept her wits and concentrated on the potential food as best she could.

Jaw set, she padded quietly closer, paws leaving silent marks behind. Once she was close enough, she moved into a crouching position low to the ground. All at once, the cat thrust her body out, deadly claws extended.. and she missed. Dismay crashed into her as she saw the vole slip away with a surprised shriek. Starvation had made her weak and she misjudged the jump her withering muscles would push her. She scrambled to her paws in an attempt to give chase, but the creature was long gone and her aching limbs sank into the ground.

Eyes closed, she envisioned her sister back at their den. Her body racked with sickness and fading away. Dying in slow agony. A loss she could not bare. Her breath caught in her throat. Fear crept in as she raised her muzzle to the sky. She let out a piercing cry, distress and despair consuming her. She would die, from the sickness or starvation or both, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
