Shaftthorn's Prophecy/One

"Shaft."

Confusion clouds your eue

A soft voice woke a light gray kit. "Moonlight?"

Shaft sniffed for the comfort of her mother.

"Moonlight?"

"No, it's Hope."

Hope... Hope? Shaft tried to pry open her eyes, but they seemed to refuse.

Lost in a flurry of pain

"Moonlight... Is dead."

Shaft couldn't believe her ears.

She let out desperate wails for the calming sensation of her mother....

But it was not there.

"Mama!"

"Silence, someone's coming."

Taken to a better place

"It's the ones who killed your mother."

She heard a voice:

"We need your kit."

"Not after you killed her mother."

She heard a horrible sound,

and blood rushed in her ears.

"Come on."

She was picked up by the scruff.

I start to come in

Shaft's P.O.V.

I heard curious mews.

Felt a calming sensation.

Mom!

"Moonlight!"

I wriggled.

I was placed beside a body.

It's limp!

I cried and cried into the night.

Mother... Is dead.

Moonlight's P.O.V.

I feel the pain

I couldn't bare to watch my kit.

Crying.

I flew down and curled my tail around my love.

"Everything is alright."

She looked up at me.

Did she see me?

"Mama?"

I smiled.

"Shaft."

Shaft was my heart,

and I knew she was alive.

I nuzzled her.

Shaft's P.O.V

I'm going to prove myself

I felt and watched my mother fade.

I was not ready.

"Mama!"

"Shut up."

I felt teeth dig into my scruff.

It hurt.

I wailed and flailed.

But I was dead for sure.

I was gone:

Hope was dead,

Moonlight too.
