Things had been hard over the seasons. He and his mate had gotten separated once more, and he had tried to look for, he had tried for a few moons but when he couldn’t find the beautiful she-cat he had given up. He had found another companion, perhaps not a mate, but someone who enjoyed his grumpy personality and he enjoyed her company. Last he had seen of Sunpaw she was expecting his kits, and that made his heart lurch every time he thought about that, but then Rosebud would soothe his anxieties.
”Where too today darling?
The black tom looked at her calico pelt in awe. She had very little white, mostly orange and black but the white splotches under her eyes and paws just made her stand out that much more. The half-faced black tom looked at her with soft yellow eyes, she was the third cat to look past his hideous face. Moons ago, the black tom had been severely burned forcing him to step down from being a warrior and he chose the path of a medicine cat. He didn’t like the idea at first but the positioned warmed up to him.
”How about to that field where we met? We haven’t been there in a long time..you know the one where-“
Eveningblaze felt his cheeks turn hot. ”Yes yes I remember…” he grumbled . He flicked his tail across her shoulders and gave the she-cat a playful glare before shooting to the right off the beaten path. It was a long walk to the field she was talking about, past BreezeClans old territory there seemed to be a haven. It was a haven where cats didn’t seem to fight. That’s where she met Rosebud. He remembered that day a few moons back clear as day, it was just after that storm…
”Hey there space case, we are almost there just walk a little further for me? Rosebuds green eyes sparkled warmly as she pressed up against the tom swirling her tail under his chin. ”please?”
Eveningblaze muttered a few words to himself before pushing forward, and it wasn’t long until the hill overlooking the field came into view. However something didn’t feel right, there was almost a tension in the air. ”Hold on dear I don’t think…something doesn’t feel right”
”What do you mean? IT feels fine come on lets go!”
”Rosebud wait!” Eveningblaze watched her sprint off, and if it was one thing that was a burden and a blessing Rosebud was quick on her paws. Eveningblaze bolted up the hill after her, and when he reached the bottom his heart caught in his chest. Their were cats hissing, yowling, fur everywhere, blood staining the flowers…Rosebud had gotten caught in the middle of it. The black tom ran to her examining her wounds, they were to severe and he knew he wouldn’t be able to save her.
Eveningblaze picked some flowers placing it around her body. He smiled at her ever so gently. ”Look at the flowers Rosebud…just look at the flowers…” He whispered. He carefully slipped foxglove seeds mixed with poppyseeds and forced her to swallow. Rosebud was gone… First it was Cherryheart, Then Sunpaw and now Rosebud…why did life have to be so cruel?
