Silvertip Mountain Mama and Papa miss their little warrior

His utter confusion slowly melted into hot molten anger as his heart began to beat uncontrollably in his chest, feeling as if it would burst from the pain it was in.

Stupid to think it would be better for us to wake up and just have you-you gone! His breathing was getting labored and it was all he could do not to shed the tears the swelled in his eyes.

How can you leave? The last words were said as his voice broke, but he refused to give in to crying.
