She/Her | Purrk(s): Just A Scratch

She couldn't move. That was the first, distant realization that filtered into her blank brain.

She.
could.
not.
move.

Stormstar. Dusklion. Her best friend. The cat who'd loved her. The cat she'd loved. Couldn't... no. She couldn't be gone. Stuck beside the entrance to RiverClan's camp, Wisteriawren closes her eyes against the horror unfolding in front of her. Her heart beat at an erratic, uneven beat, desperate for it not to be true. But it was, because she had seen her best friend's body laying limp in the midst of all this chaos when there'd been a brief gap long enough for her to see.

It'd closed again moments later, but that sight would never leave Wisteriawren. No, it would stay with her forever. She found, oddly enough, that this hurt more than anything else in the moons since she'd joined RiverClan. To see the cat who had welcomed her to RiverClan, gone forever, not drawing breath... another part of her heart withered and died. Swallowing down the keening wail that pushed to escape, Wisteriawren reminded herself that she could cry later, when cats didn't need her.

Her paws are heavy as she inches her way through the crowd, a quiet tear escaping to roll down her cheek. Silently, the former kittypet settles beside her leader's sister, attempting to twine her tail with the Medicine Cat Apprentice's in non-verbal support.
