Dawnstream turned her attention to the other eye. "There, I've blinded it! Go in for the kill!"
[OOC: I'm gonna work on Icestorm's profile. Is it okay if I go ahead & write about the death of his mate?]

Steelheart nodded, once again latching on to the badgers neck. This time he went for the most vulnerable spot....
[Yeah, I don't see why not...]

Dawnstream was sure the badger was going to collaspe any moment so she returned to Featherwhisker. She nudged the she-cat with her nose, and then noticed her chest wasn't rising & falling. She was dead.
Dawnstream glanced at the nearest kit, it was mewing pitifully & was bleeding from its left hind leg. She looked at the next kit, it wasn't making any noise but its tail twitched occasionally so it was alive at least.

The badger fell, and Steelheart felt that such a mighty beast ought to make a bigger noise as it hit the ground. Sighing, he walked over to dawnstream, dragging once of his back legs. It seemed that he'd been cut by a flailing badger claw and not noticed it. He shrugged the pain off a moment longer, staring down at the dead queen.

"Are you alright?" Dawnstream asked. She noticed her clanmate was limping. "At least two of the kits are still alive, I don't even know how many there were." She looked around & saw two more kits in the clearing. There was also a pile of blood & fur that she wasn't sure was a dead kit or from one of the others.

"Let's just..." he began sadly, "Let's just get the survivors someplace safe...."

Dawnstream nodded but her nose wrinkled in thought. "Right, but we can only carry one kit at a time. Should one of us run back with one & get help? The other can stand guard over the other kits. & Icestorm should know as soon as possible."

"You go back.... I couldn't get there fast enough, and Icestorm is your brother, after all...."

Dawnstream nodded & scooped up the kit with the wounded leg. "Back in a flash, with help!" She meowed around the kit. She took off, her long legs stretching easily across the ground.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Dawnstream & Icestorm arrived back in the clearing before the sun had barely moved. Icestorm let at a horrified yowl as he laid eyes on Featherwhisker's dead body. He nearly stepped on a kit as he raced to her. "Nooooooooooooo!"

"I.... I'm sorry, Icestorm, that we couldn't get here sooner...."

"She's in Moonclan now," Dawnstream whispered. "She'll watch over you & the kits."
Icestorm glanced sharply at his sister. "Some of the kits survived?"
"At least two, I haven't checked the others yet." Dawnstream said, pointing with one paw to the various piles of fur that were kits.

Steelheart nodded in agreement. "I thought I saw another one try to move," he said, pointing to one of the kits, "over there."

Icestorm looked back at Featherwhisker, then bounded over to the kit. He glanced at Dawnstream, "I thought you brought back the only survivor."
"No, I could only carry one. Now we can get these home." She said & stepped over to the pile of bloody fur. "Dear Moonclan," she said as she realized it was a maimed kit.
Icestorm didn't look up from the kit he was nosing gently onto its stomach. "We'll have to take the kits then come back for Featherwhisker so we can bury her & sit the vigil."

"I'll help," Steelheart said, gently picking up one of the kits.

Dawnstream stepped over to remaining kit & gasped at the blood streaming from a head wound. "This one needs to get back fast." She said & gently lifted it by the scruff of its neck.
