As dawn approached, Sparrowfeather gently shook Solarstar. "It's time to bury her." Sparrowfeather said gently.

Solarstar opened her eyes and stood up slowly. "Tawneykit... Should she come with?..." she asked, her own eyes still filled with sorrow.

Tawneykit stood up when she heard, "I think it would be best if I come...." She stared down at her motehrs body, then back at Solarstar, Solarstar was her mom now.... She smiled. "Ya, I insist on coming..."

Solarstar looked down at the kit and nodded. "Of course," she said.

Solarstar nodded, then she helped carry Swiftwaters' body out of camp and to a spot in the territory where they usually buried the deceased. Solarstar dug with some of the elders, getting her pelt dirtier than it already was. Her blood-stained pelt was mixed with dirt while some soil brushed against her crudely healed wounds.

Cloudpaw looked down, her eyes full of sorrow, though she didnt express her feelings to anyone else. She wasnt talking, like everyone else.

As the hole was finished, Solarstar and the elders placed Swiftwaters body in it carefully. Solarstar licked Swiftwaters' head one last time before helping the elders fill in the hole. As the burrial was completed, Solarstar sat above the grave for a moment, sending a final prayer to her friend in Starclan. "Let's get back to camp and to the medicine cat. You should be checked out from that fall in the river..." the leader said to Tawneykit as she ushered her new kit back to camp.

Tawneykit followed her back. "Whatever you say, solarstar!" she laughed, sounding as if she was in denail

Solarstar looked at the kit with gentle but sorrowful eyes. "You don't have to hide your pain..." she said quietly. "I meant what I said... I'll take you in and teach you the ways of our clan and Starclan. Swiftwaters will always watch over you while I guide you through life... You don't have to hide your sadness now..."

"I am sad.... its just that now your my mommy, and you will take care of me, and my mommy is safe in starclan and will do a better job of watching over our clan in silverpelt! So its ok..." She laughed sorrowfully, a few tears rolling down her cheeks still. She had mostly come to terms with it so far, and what she said was true.

Solarstar wrapped her tail around Tawneykit, trying to comfort her new kit. "Everything will be ok..." she said quietly, though her eyes shown with sorrow. "Let's just go see Sparrowfeather for a bit. Then we can take a nice long rest in my den... Sound good?"

Solarstar led Tawneykit back into camp and headed into Sparrowfeather's den. She knew the medicine cat would be back soon and take care of her crudely healed and now dirty wounds. Solarstar started to relax a bit due to the scent of herbs that enveloped the den.
((now we just gotta wait for ginger...))

((Wow ummm let's say Tigerfeather and Beetlefur are already back in camp since its been all night...))
Tigerfeather sat at the entrance of camp. She had seen Swiftwaters beign carried away and was kind of sad from it. She had lived a great life and it was sad to see her leave Tawneykit behind. Tigerfeather yawned and waited for some warrior to say she could go and get some sleep.
