[Deathclaw & Bumblebreeze] The last message.

[Chisato Mikami]

Next on Deathclaw visitation list was Bumblebreeze. The poor tom didn’t understand what was going on around him. How he was hurting his adopted little sister. Or just how fragile her mind was. Bumbebreeze was also deaf. Unless Deathclaw brought him to Starclan, which fully he intended to do. Deathclaw sighed a little. Ever since he found Foxpaw as a kit, her well being was heavy on his mind. It was odd for him to go over what he normally did. He liked it better when he was just escorting cats to the afterlife. Sighing again, he waited until Bumblebreeze was asleep.

Bumblebreeze had finished going over the herbs for the day, tidying up the wares Stonebelly kept and going over everything Forgottentrail had been teaching him in his dreams. As the cat curled up against his sister and the fox pelt gift he shared with her, his eyes fell closed harder than he expected, sleep taking him quickly.

As he blinked open his eyes and glanced around at the golden grasses of Starclan, Bumblebreeze tilted his head. This wasn’t the place Forgottentrail usually met him in. Were they meeting somewhere else this time? “Hewwo?” he called out, his unusual tone imperfect from many moons of being un-used. He took several steps, glancing around and waiting to see which cat would come into view. Along the way he kept an eye out for herbs along the way, not that he could take any home but perhaps he’d learn something new in his time around that he hadn’t quite learned before?

What he wasn’t expecting was an almost scattered black cat standing in his path, looking as if one simple breeze would blow the rest of them away.

Deathclaw’s head would rise as his ashy body floated around him. “Hello Bumblebreeze.” He walked closer to Bumblebreeze. He tilted his said a little, trying to decide on how to proceed. Bumble needed to know that Foxpaw was hurting.

“I need to talk to you about your new sister,” he said gently. “She’s hurting and you can help stopping it. Would you like to help heal your sister?”

The way this cat seemed to dissolve before his eyes Yet remain formed gave Bumblebreeze a pause for concern. Tilting his head and glancing around him, he took a few steps backwards in retreat before the other spoke. His new sister? Hurting? Did he mean Foxpaw? Was she sick again? She hadn’t seemed sick and seemed quite strong actually..... this all caused him to frown deeply. “Huwting? How?” He asked again, eyes slightly narrowed though something ached inside him. “I want to heulp heaul hewr, yes!.”

“You wear the pelt of the fox that was raising her,” Deathclaw stated. “When she was a kit, she thought her mother had chosen you to love, but now that she is older, she just sees what Riverclan had done to her and hates everyone involved. Including you. I know you couldn’t possibly understand what was going on and I should have said something sooner.” He sighed as he looked at Bumblebreeze. “The less she sees that fox pelt, the easier it will be for her. She still sees that fox as her mother, regardless of her having a cat family. In all honesty, I believe the less she sees of the pelt, the better… but maybe it would also help her if she was able to grieve properly over her mother that she feels so strongly about… Maybe letting her cry with the pelt? I really do not know…”
