Chapter 4-
Hawk gasped as he got knocked back. "I'm sorry!" He sputtered, dashing away. The white she-cat faced him, her tail lashing. "I know it was a mistake. And you'll pay!" Her blue eyes were full of fury and despair. "I'm sorry!" Hawk yowled. Her eyes met Hawk's brilliant green ones. Hawk lashed his brown tabby tail. "I'm sorry." He growled. "And you should be." The white she-cat whispered, collapsing next to her mate. "Blaze..." She murmured. "I'm so sorry. Please wake up. It's me, Light." Blaze's body was covered in blood. Light gently licked him clean. "This is all your fault!" Light spat, whipping around and glaring at Hawk with her piercing blue eyes. Then she slumped down. "I know... Every cat is fighting for food." Light murmured, starting to dig a hole. "I'll help." Hawk dug out soil until his paws bled. He carried Blaze's body gently into the home and buried it, patting the mound down. "Blaze... You were such an honorable cat... I'm sorry you died this way." Light whispered, crouching next to the grave. Hawk was guilty. Why have I killed him? He thought bitterly. The she-cat was at least 2 years old. Light still had a long life ahead, without her mate. "Goodbye." Light's meow rose to a wail. She turned around and plunged into the undergrowth. "I'm sorry." Hawk bowed his head as he dragged himself away, tail and head drooping. At least he wasn't hungry anymore.
