FALLING FOR THE PROMISE OF THE
EMPTINESS MACHINE
.
Her paws were more than full these days, especially after Pineheart, Pigeonpearl, and Peachtrot stepped down leaving Russetfall as the sole Life Guard. Things were once again tense between those who remained in the council- though this time it was Pikestar and Jinglemoon who were at odds. On top of that her siblings had appeared from nowhere... She needed to keep an eye on them, even if she wasn't assigned to watch them. No one but her knew how much they couldn't be trusted. They'd grown up together after all.
With a shake of her head the molly huffs, grasping the rabbit she'd caught in her jaws to carry back to camp. Fishing was beginning to be less and less reliable, but at least the land prey was still out and about for the most part. She'd need to maybe host some sort of refresher course on hunting the critters that weren't fish in their territory sometime soon. Some of her clanmates had grown complacent with the easy fishing. Yet another thing to add to her ever-growing to-do list. She'd have to run it by Pike and Frost when she got back.
The camp is in sight, now. She thinks. ...Thinks..? She blinks slowly. Yes, yes that was the direction of camp. Where else would it be? Typical clan chatter reaches her ears but it sounds farther away than it should. Her limbs feel heavier, shakier than usual, even before she swims across the stream to step into camp. The rabbit is placed on the freshkill pile, and Russet turns to step towards Pikestar's den. She'd round up Frostmoth while she was at it to suggest-
She stumbles. Legs stubbornly refusing to obey her command to just walk before suddenly falling to her side, unconscious.
