beansprout

everything was happening. yowling, screaming, insults and claws exchanged. and then, the intruder was gone. he was so tense, he wasn’t sure if he could even move. there was a knot in beansprout's stomach. he smelled blood. he smelled… death. he wanted to throw up. he wanted to make that intruder pay for the damage they caused. but, most importantly, he wanted to make sure his kit was okay.

where. where was she? wait, no. there. at his paws. immediately, he curled his body around her, trying his best to comfort fawnpaw. she— she was injured. he failed as a father. but he could still protect her now. beansprout gave her a few soothing licks, and murmured hushed words into her ears. "it's okay, kid. it's all okay. they're all gone now, you're safe. i've got you. i promise. i can help you with anything you need right now. just… stay here for a little bit. the clan can wait. i’ve got you.
