It's been a couple of days since Hawkfire talked secretly with Icefur and Flamestrike, but she hasn't told me or Spottedeye as of now. What is she hiding from us? Is it something that secret? I mean, I can understand not telling me, but you mentored Spottedeye for StarClan's sake! These past couple of days have been a blur anyway, and the pain has gotten worse. Spottedeye has been doing everything he can, but I feel like it's soon time. "Sparkheart?" a voice murmured. It sounded almost sickly. "Come in." I mewed. It turns out it was Hawkfire! "Is Spottedeye here? I wish to talk to the two of you together." Hawkfire asked. "Did someone call me?" Spottedeye meowed walking in, carrying a thrush. I nodded. "Hawkfire wanted to talk to us." Spottedeye dropped the thrush in front of me, and turned to Hawkfire. "Sure, what's up?" Spottedye asked. Hawkfire sat down and let out a sigh. "I'm sorry I've been distant for a while, life just caught up to me, that's all." Hawkfire looked down. "Redsun, my long lost brother. I miss him so much." I nodded. I heard stories of Redsun from Icefur, plus he was alive when I was a small kit. "Have you guys ever wondered why I was distant of Flamestrike for a period of time?" Spottedeye and I both nodded. Hawkfire closed her eyes and continued. "Because he looks and acts so much like him." My eyes widened. What? I thought. Flamestrike and Redsun so alike? Is that even possible? For cats to be almost identical? Hawkfire also told us the story about Redsun's death, and why she feels so distant from us now. I just can't believe that me and Spottedeye expecting kits and Icefur and Flamestrikes' relationship can tear her apart, emotion by emotion, limb by limb. She then left and returned to her den. I looked at Spottedeye then the thrush he gave me. "I don't feel hungry anymore." I muttered.
