>Bumblekit<

Quiet. So quiet.

Too quiet.

Bumblekit, sitting at the opposite side of camp as far away from the nursery as he could get, stared at the den's entrance with his folded ears drooping more than they usually did.

He turned away with a sniff. That tom - that tom had ruined everything. Bumblekit stared down at his tiny paws, wondering why the tom had to take his mom away. She hadn't done anything to him! She didn't deserve to be made to leave!

When she was still here, the nursery had originally been warm and welcoming... now it was dark and empty and cold. He didn't like sleeping there. He'd sleep in this spot instead, or even sometimes sneak into the apprentices' den to curl up in one of those nests. Just... anything was better than the nursery.
