Redhawk
She/they | 30 moons | ThunderClan Hornet
[ Ultimate Predator • The Collector • Kitty Softpaws ]

Everything happened so fast. One moment she was getting to her paws to follow Bumblestar, and the next Redhawk was turning around wide-eyed to stare at both Moontail and Sunglow (ignoring the guilt in her heart for the way this had all started with her getting involved). The back and forth was something she wasn't sure if she should insert herself into, especially since it was Bumblestar who got involved quickly. Despite the claws thrown, causing her fur to bristle, they didn't last long.

Just like Sunglow's life, too. Red forced herself to stifle the startled squeak in her throat, unwilling to let it come out. Her forelegs shook though at the sight of the body. Scarlet blood stained the clearing, and almost automatically the she-cat stood and pressed herself against Mudhound, then licked Foxpaw's ear. "Can you sss-stay with Mudhound, Foxpaw? I'll be right back." With a weak smile towards her apprentice, and a grateful glance towards the tripod, Red padded forward quickly, ignoring the blood that stained her fur (it didn't show against her same colored fur) as she ducked underneath Sunglow's body. Thankfully all of her late endurance training had been paying off - her legs only shook a bit under the weight of the deceased cat.

"I'll take her t-to the outskirts," she told Bumblestar, finally looking up to meet her leader's gaze. She understood, of course, why Sunglow had to be killed. ThunderClan needed to be protected. Maybe because it was in such close proximity is why she felt her stomach roll around the contents of her meal earlier. There was the briefest flash of uncertainty, before it was replaced with understanding. "I'll be quick, and come t-to your den after." There was that talk still, after all.

Readjusting the cats position on her back, Redhawk turned and headed out of the clearing.
