Twigfrost padded up the mountain, Ivory heading on beside him, coughing.

"You,re strength is depleting. You won't be able to make it to the Tribe, my love. You must rest."

Ivory shook her head and gasped. "No, I must keep going. The kits, Twigfrost, the kits."

Twigfrost hung his head and kept moving.

-

Ivory had made the worst mistake she ever would in her lifetime.

Choosing to go on was no the right answer, the only thing it led to........

Twigfrost glanced up and the point peak that jutted out of the mountains like a ledge.

"We have to climb it...but no. You can't, you're not strong enough. I won't let you Ivory."

"You can't stop me," she meowed slyly and gathered the strength into her legs. She repositioned herself and Twigfrost glanced at her, dismay falling into his heart.

"But..."

She turned back once more, giving him her most famous look, hthe leapt up into the air to reach the ledge.

"NO!" Twigfrost screamed instantly as she banged into the ledge, her front paws barely graspin it as she dangled off in mid-air, eyes wild.

"Ivory! No! Hold still, I'm coming up to get you!"

"Hurry!" She yowled, dropping farther as she grasped the rocks harder. "I'm falling!"

Twigfrost jumped frantic,y up to the ledge, barely making it, and instantly swung around to help his mate. He stuck his paw out for her. "Grab on! I'll pull you up! It'll be okay!"

Her eyes widened as she fumbled around, her legs thrashing in open air as she looked up at him.

"Twigfrost..." She started slowly with a calm voice. He shook his head and stuck his paw out farther, refusing to give up.

"Twigfrost." She repeated, this time sadness cats hung in her throat and tears gathering in her eyes. "You were right. I'm not strong enough, my love. And now I'm paying for my mistake...it's time for me to go--"

"No. No. No. No. You're staying and never leaving me alone. We'll grow old with--"

"Twigfrost." Third time. "I love you more than I have for anyone ever, and I know we would have had amazing kits. I-I...she stuttered and let tears go down her cheek. Twigfrost was bawling now, and hanging over the edge in despair, trying every method to get his true love to grab hold and return to safety with him.

"I hope you move on in peace." She whispered.

They stared at each other with blurry eyes.

Then she closed hers, letting her paws fly away from the ledge freely, crashing down the mountain in a bloody tumble, departing from him, their life, and their possible babies in the future.

Twigfrost screamed at the top of his lungs for Thistletuft.
