Thorns leg had healed enough so that he could go outside. A rustling in the bushes disturbs the eerie silence. Their mother looked at them,"Stay close." A cat jumped out of the shadows. Their father. "Hello Thorn." He reached over and grabbed Pine by the scruff. "Mama!" He squealed. "If I can't have them," he set Pine on the ground, and raised a paw. "Nobody can." He sliced Pines throat. "PINE!!!" Thorn ran over and attacked him. "Why? Why'd you kill him?" Thorn raised a paw. "I'll never tell you anything!" He sliced his fathers stomach open, then continued scratching until he died a slow painful death. "Oh Pine I'm so sorry! Please stay with us. Please. I can't lose you too." Pine looked at him. "I love you, never forget that." Then he stopped breathing. "No, Pine please. No..." It began raining as he carried his dead brother back with his mother. "Not Pine too." She dug out a hole, the set the tiny kit in it. "Tell Daisy I love please." They began pushing the last bit of dirt back in. "Goodbye Pine." A streak of light crossed the sky. Then a forest fire began. "Thorn run! I'll be right behind you." They raced away from the fire and ran, and ran.
