i will find your scent again if i sleep in infinite space
SAY YOU WON'T EVER FADE AWAY
Now and then she would return here, to the very same shore. Lately it had become more often. Today she carried a shell as she returned once more to the very spot where she had lost her best friend months ago...where she almost had drowned. Even now she had no idea what had happend to Leech, but each night she prayed to the stars that he was out there somewhere, alive and had find the happiness he had been unable to find here, as heartbreaking as that truth were. Sometimes she wonderd if only she had tried harder to understand him, to be a better friend, and...just maybe if she had been a better daughter Adderfang wouldn't have end up on this wrong path in life. If only she had tried harder, she wouldn't have lost either of them...and now....Shellkit too.
Eyes were red and swollen, obiviously she had cried. The news had only been delivered a couple hours ago. Rosepaw had not known where to go so this shore was the only place she could think of to go to in her time of grief. Back there in camp she had to remain strong for her family but out here alone by the shore the tears were allowed to fall into the river to erase any evidence of sorrow. Quielty, with a sob the sorrowful sister dropped the shell into the river and watched as it disappeared underneath the same surface she once had got swollowed. This was her own way of saying farewell to her little sister, since a proper burial for her wouldn't take place.
Rosepaw cried for a long time after that until there was nothing left, and what remained were numbness. She wipped the undried tears away with a paw.
After the moment had passed, Rose opened the eyes again only this time to stare blankly into the water for a while longer, quiet thoughts left unheard. Slowly, after a moment of hesitation Rosepaw removed the rose that had always been put behind her ear so fondly, into the water it would be dropt as it floated above the surface, and slowly floated away. Without a word to expose what was troubling the youth's mind, the apprentice lifted herself up on the paws and turned to walk away in silence.
No more roses.

" I'm s-sorry you didn't get to s-see the world Shellkit, that y-you didn't get to gr-grow up."
she sank down to her belly as tears soaked her face, dripping and falling into the river. " If i could, i swear if starclan wo-would have allowed...i..i would have swapped place with you."
she wailed with sorrow as she stared down at her pathetic reflection. Anything, she would have given anything to swap place with her so Shellkit could have seen the world like any kit were meant to do. No kit should die this young. Shellkit belonged more into this world then she did, ever had.Rosepaw cried for a long time after that until there was nothing left, and what remained were numbness.

" I w-will never forget you, i promise."
Shellkit might not have been on this earth for long, but her short lived existence were enough to be rememberd for an eternity. Rosepaw would keep her in her memory for as long as she lived and even after that if starclan would allow. May starclan watch over you my dear sister. Briefly, she closed her eyes to honor her baby sister with a moment of silence.After the moment had passed, Rose opened the eyes again only this time to stare blankly into the water for a while longer, quiet thoughts left unheard.
