"Kitty!" she cooed at the giant beast of a feline that stood before her. The response was a yowl and the cat hunched down, preparing to spring. She stood frozen, ears going back and tail slowly tapping the backs of her hinds. If this was playful behavior for a cat she didn't want to join it in a game. She backed away and yelped as the beast sprang.
The next half hour was spent unconscious
When she woke up, having been knocked aside and into a tree by Mars she first noticed that the kitty was gone. She blinked and whimpered softly as her head felt wet and a very sharp stinging kept making her want to cry. Then she noticed her brother laying slumped on the ground and she stood up wobbling a bit and walked over, nudging him "Kote chat la? Eske ou te jwe? Èske se poutèt sa w ap dòmi?" she didn't get a response and she laughed, pushing at him with her forepaws. His body rolled over limply, like the rabbit pelts they had played with when younger.
She froze her brain not registering the sight she saw. "Your face. What wrong?" she whispered, looking away from the bloodied mess that was her brother's neck and face. She cleared her throat and stood up, circling him with her tail tucked beneath her belly "Why sleep? Mars get up!" she shouted at him urgently.She had been told of death since she had told him of the bird but she couldn't bring herself to associate it with him. Deciding he was simply too exhausted to wake up she lay with him, falling asleep.
A few hours passed and she woke,her head aching badly. She licked her paw and brushed it gently over her head, crying out when she touched a small gash. "Li fè mal! Tanpri reveye!" she whined, shoving at Mar's more desperately. Flies had covered his face and it was then that it began to sink in. She gasped and bit at his ears, wordless shouts escaping her maw. She turned her head to the sky, knowing the stars held his spirit and called to him in their secret language, the one taught to them by their blood father "Tapti atgal brolin! Tave zibeti gal nenx zinot j'us!" her voice was met with no response and she sank to the ground, pressing her small form against the cold, much to stiff body that was no longer her brother.
