Chapter 12
Dewkit blinked open her eyes, her wounds stinging terribly.
"Ow!" She squeaks.
Before she could mutter anything else, Skyheart came rushing in.
"Dewkit!" She exclaims. "Your awake!"
Dewkit blinks in confusion at Skyheart.
"Of course I'm awake." She says. "Why wouldn't I be?"
Skyheart sighs and replies,
"Dewkit, you've been unconscious for a whole day."
What! Dewkit thought, clearly surprised. I thought it was just for a few moments!
Skyheart rushes out of the den.
When she comes back, Lilyfur is there with Stormkit and Sootpelt.
"Where's Firekit?" Dewkit chirped.
Sootpelt looks behind him and picks up Firekit by his scruff.
"I'm so glad you're ok!" Lilyfur burst out, and covered Dewkit in licks and purrs.
Stormkit comes up to, flanked by Sootpelt.
"I thought you were dead!" Stormkit exclaimed. "We were hiding from the badger then you leaped out and then the badger—"
Stormkit was cut off when Sootpelt stuck his tail in front of Stormkit.
"I think what Stormkit is trying to say, is that you were very brave."
Dewkit stood up slowly, despite her mothers protests, and stuck her muzzle in Sootpelt's fur.
"Thank you." She murmured.
"Can Dewkit come back to the nursery?" Lilyfur asked anxiously.
Skyheart examined Dewkit for a moment before replying.
"Yes, but don't be rough with her. I don't want you to open up any of her wounds."
Firekit huffs and says under his breath,
"Great. First she hurts herself and now we have to be gentle."
Lilyfur gives Firekit a sharp glare before shooing him out of the den.
Dewkit stared at the entrance of the den where Firekit just left.
Everyone thinks I'm a hero. She muses. But does Firekit blame it on me?
