everything for her clan.
when she'd given birth to
her son, she had nursed him
in secret for a single night,
before handing him over to
lilystep for her to raise him.
she could not afford to be
a full time mother.
beetlenose had always been
a strong, loyal warrior. she
had loved her mate, but not
as much as she had loved her
warrior duties and her clan.
he was always second best,
to her.
that was why he had left her,
and why she had given up her
single, beautiful, wonderful
son.
she had been there when gorse-
-face died. she had seen it happen,
had been unable to stop the
terrible tension. she had watched
her brother breathe his last while
she stood by his side.
he'd told her something.
when she had been asked to take the
position of deputy, she agreed, for
that was what she felt she should do.
to protect her clan. to protect her
son.
now, as beetlenose lay in the nursery,
she watched the tiny kit's flank rise
and fall as he slept. her heart felt warm,
and a yearning betrayed her. she was
tired, and the nursery was filled with
silence--lilystep had gone to take sootkit
to the dirtplace, so the nursery simply
belonged to mother and son.
beetlenose was tired.
everything was taking so much energy, so
much effort. she loved her clan, but, for
just one moment she wanted to rest. to
sleep next to her beautiful son.
gorseface had told her when he died
that nothing was more important than
family.
so, she closed her eyes.
when lilystep returned, she discovered the
bodies of a mother and her son, blood pooling
on the floor of the nursery, their lives long
gone.
watch out, thunderclan! your deputy and a
kit have been murdered! with beetlenose dead,
wetfur takes her place as deputy.
