Misinformed [ALL THUNDERCLAN]

Owltalon dragged Rivertsar's lifeless body through the camp's entrance. He felt drained of any energy he previously had. His leader was dead; and he was deputy. What were in the cards for him? Owltalon sighed as he set Riverstar's mangled body in the center of camp. Their former conversation whispered softly amongst his memories. She was really gone; he was really the new leader. Sitting nervously beside Riverstar he cleared his throat. He could see his clan-mates peering curiously out of the dens, and out from under the ledges. Their expressions immediately plummeted once they caught sight of their deceased leader. Clearing his throat Owltalon prepared his speech, "Our brave, noble leade-" A loud creaking sound penetrated that deathly silence. All eyes flickered upwards, Owltalon followed their gazes. He found himself backing up as far as he could, his ears plastered to the top of his head. "Get out of camp!" he screeched. A tree loomed dangerously above them. And like that, it fell; shaking the earth beneath his paws. The trunk landed two inches from Riverstar's corpse. Acting fast he grabbed her scruff and bolted out of the camp. He could see the monster's nearing closer. Backing back into the camp; he gazed wildly around. Setting Riverstar down by a bystander's paws he leaped over the fallen tree, that now laid nestled in the midst of camp. Swinging his head from side to side he tried to find an escape route. His first duty as leader, would be to save his clan from certain destruction. Panting he tried the dirt-place. But that was blockaded by yellow, glowering monsters as well. They were trapped. Suddenly his mind did a rewind to a previous event. Kestrelpaw had escaped previously, back when she was a mere kit. Back when she had led Skunk-kit to his death. Perhaps that horrible adventure actually led to something good. They had escaped somehow? But where? Racing to the apprentice's den he let out a blood curling yowl, "Silentpaw! Kestrelpaw!" Please let one of them be there. Their lives depended on it. [bg=4f3823][atrb=border,0,true]

Dapplekit
The troublesome kit of Thunderclan

[/color]

The small kit had come out the warriors den with Rainflight and when she looked around Owltalon was gone. He had just flat out disappeared. She kept looking around wondering if he was hiding, but that hadn't been part of the plan. She apologized to Rainflight for getting her up and sat down beside her quietly to wait for owltalon to come back.

It seemed like ages. She was surprised she could actually sit that long. Just about when she thought she would burst she heard a rustle and saw her dad's brown tabby fur. What she didn't expect was Riverstar's body to be handing limply form his grasp. She looked horrible. She her nose caught the sent she cringed and shivered. What was that smell? As she was about to move over to owltalon, he started talking.

Then everything flew into chaos. Owltalon ran past her and suddenly a shadow covered her. She quickly looked up and cowered and the large tree tumbled toward her. She yowled and ran. However, branches surrounded her. Luckily she wasn't hit, but she had no where to go. She tried to find a way to climb out but her little claws wouldn't hold on to anything. She looked around wildly looking for help.
"MAMA! DADDY!"

[/color] she yowled hoping one of them had seen what had happened. "Somebody! Help me!!!"[/color] she screeched and looked around as the rumbling noises got bigger.[/size][/left]

--i walk alone, fighting for only the shadows that walk beside me

"Over here."

The flower under the moss would have to wait. There would be another time to prove himself to Kestrelpaw. If they survived, anyway. Surely this was all not a omen? Right after Riverstar's death? Was it StarClan's disapproval of Owltalon's new rank establishment? Or a test to see if hes got what it takes? Either way, this will definitely prove Owltalon's strength, bravery and leadership. It will either go down in flames, or rise up to the heavens.

But the last thing Silentpaw should be worrying about is Owltalon's leadership. What he should be worrying about is everyone's safety. His family, Kestrelpaw...

Kestrelpaw!

What about the sick apprentice? How will she make it out of here alive? What if she was too sick to move properly? When he thought about it though, it wouldn't be a surprise if she didn't need help at all. She is much too stubborn to let herself be killed by debris, no matter how she felt. It didn't mean he couldn't help her though.

"What is it? The last thing we need is for us to just stand here talking and letting branches squash us." Silentpaw growled.


R a i n f l i g h t
--keep trying, you won't bring me down in the rain

Rainflight cocked her head in wonder. Owltalon wanted her? Is that was what this was about? How dare he use their adopted daughter to bring her out? Was he trying to bring her in their conflict? No matter, because she waited patiently beside Dappledkit in wait. It didn't look like her suspicions were in her mind though, for when he came back, the body of their leader was in his jaws.

Nothing mattered anymore from that moment. Her suspicions, her anger, her impatience. No, it was all about getting out of here now. Because right now, their camp was falling apart. Branches were falling down. Twigs were stabbing her skin. Leaves blinded her vision. In this chaos, she felt like she was lost in some kind of nightmare, begging to wake up.

"Help!"

Dapplekit.

The kit must have ran off when she wasn't looking. It was for a good cause, though, for she didn't notice that a tree had fell right beside her. Right where Dappledkit was sititing. She couldn't be too far away.

"Dappledkit!" Rainflight bundled her muscles, releasing the tension in her limbs in one powerful leap. She landed on the trunk that confined the she-kit. Racing toward the screams she peered down in the tangle of twigs and branches, her daughter stuck in their rough grip. "Hold on! I'm coming!" Rainflight yowled, grasping the branches that made a barrier between her and the helpless kit. The black warrior, branch by branch, cleared the obstacle by taking each branch with her teeth and removing it from her sight. Now that it was clear, the escape route was reachable. But the problem was helping her daughter escape and climb her way toward the route she constructed.

The branch! Rainflight grinned then took one of the branches that she pulled out and tilted it toward Dappledkit to where she could hop on it. "Hold onto this! Then I'll pull you out!" The path was clear. All there was left was to get Dappledkit out before it was too late.

--punish me for my crime, for I am too quiet

Jaypaw stumbled into the camp's entrance, leading Ravenpaw toward the warriors den. He didn't remember the latest move the tom taught him, and he thought it best to check up on his mentor, and maybe finally get some new training sessions done. Especially with Ravenpaw helping him. But, what he saw surprised him. He didn't see the larger shape of his mentor, but the brown tabby shape of the deputy, carrying the leader's body in his jaws.

Before he could react to the stunning scene taking place when the two black apprentices were gone, a branch collapsed a distance from where they were standing. Loud rumbles and growls were threatening the atmosphere, and the ground was shaking so hard Jaypaw felt like he was going to fall over. The continuing of retreating trees fell upon the once peaceful clearing. But one in particular caught his attention.

"Ravenpaw!"

A tree was falling straight toward her, its looming shadow casting a threat toward the she-cat. Jaypaw flung himself at her, pushing her out of the way of the oncoming destruction. Luckily, he moved both of them away in time, but not fast enough for the tree to fall on his back foot, and one of the pieces of bark to make a wound deep on Ravenpaw's slim body. He winced in pain, desperately pulling himself free. In a quick, strong haul, he broke free of the trunk's weight, his back paw dangling pitifully behind him.

"Ravenpaw! Are you alright? Where did that bark hit you? How bad is it?" Jaypaw fretted, observing Ravenpaw with worried, large eyes.

As the duo moved closer and closer to camp, Ravenpaw felt a knot tightening in her stomach. The all to familiar scent of blood wafted in that direction, and she didn't want to know where the source was. As she hesitantly followed Jaypaw into camp, the scene before her sent chills down her spine. In all of her life she would never forget what she saw before her. Owltalon stood over the lifeless body of Riverstar. The blood she smelled was Riverstar; Ravenpaw couldn't move from horror. But then she heard a sharp cracking sound, and looking up she watched helplessly as a tree fell seemingly from the sky. Once more she found she couldn't lift a paw. She couldn't take her eyes off of the long, brown and green figure that made it's way down into ThunderClan camp; into their camp. She flinched when it hit the ground, just fox lengths away. Owltalon had made it safely away with Riverstar's body. She watched as frightened cats tried to scramble away from the camp. But before they could, another tree fell. And Jaypaw just barely got him and her out of the way in time. "Ravenpaw!" The she-cat hadn't even registered that a tree was falling right on top of her, she could barely recognize Jaypaw's warning. She felt him barrel into her and shove her out of the way. A shrill scream escape her mouth as she finally realized what had happened. A tree fell. She was frozen in place until she heard Jaypaw's worried voice. It was then that she felt a searing pain in her side. She flinched in pain as she looked at Jaypaw. She could feel the sticky blood wheal from her wound, but all thoughts left when she saw Jaypaw. "Am I okay! Jaypaw, look at your leg! Oh my goodness, what's happening!" her voice was high pitched with fright. Clearing her throat Ravenpaw stepped beside Jaypaw, allowing him to lean on her as she lead him away from the tree. She didn't know where to go, what to do, or what was happening. And the fact that Jaypaw was hurt scared her more than anything. [bg=799696][atrb=border,0,true]

Dapplekit
The troublesome kit of Thunderclan

[/color]

The small kit cowered in fear when no one answered at first. Or if anyone did, she couldn't hear it. Suddenly she heard the tearing of branches she looked up and let out a happy but scared mew. She saw Rainflight clear a path for her, but she couldn't climb up the branches...her claws were too small. However Rainflight answered her fear like every parent should.

"Hold on to this! then I'll pull you out!"
Dapplekit nodded and latched her claws into the wood and climbed up a little ways so she was completely on the branch. She felt strong Rainflight pull her up and closed her eyes not wanting to see what was going on. She felt Rainflight pick her up by her scruff and didn't fight or struggle. She wanted out of this chaos and right now Rainflight was the only way.

Streak
The thief of all rouges

[/color]

Streak darted through the forest zig zagging praying to anything that he hoped he about been wrong about what he heard. He had heard the rumbles in the pine forest, but it had gotten louder and then the ear splitting creak and crash. It was near the camp. Near Ravenpaw. He just had to make sure.

The tabby tom didn't stop even when he saw the big yellow monsters from a distance. He followed his nose and looked for the thunderclan scent. He soon found it near the brambles and darted through. However what met him at the end was a large drop off. For a while he felt ground beneath his feet then suddenly...nothing. He flailed and tried to grab something, but nothing was close.
'oh great star cats! Not like this!'

Something kicked in and he rolled over to where his feet would hit and stretched out. somehow he landed on his front feet smoothly and kept running stumbling to a stop.
"I'm alive? I'm alive!"

[/color] he yowled happily but the loud rumble cut off his sound. That's when he heard her name. Ravenpaw! He turned quickly and watched with horror as a tree tumbled towards the apprentice. He couldn't move. Luckily someone else saved her life, but they were both her. He swallowed. He had to help. Forget the rules or boundaries. These cats were gonna die if he didn't help.

Streak rushed over there, in the mean time seeing some other cats disappearing a hidden exit.
"Ravenpaw!"[/color] he yowled over the noise. "I'm gonna help you get out! Just follow me! Yowl if you need help![/color]
He wasn't sure if she would actually listen or not, but e had to try. The tom was giving him this uncertain look and he connected eyes with him with a look that said "Trust me."[/size][/left]

Owltalon ducked as a branch soared over his head. Panting he fixed his gaze on Silentpaw's smug face. "Remember that time you and Kestrelpaw sneaked out of camp?" he breathed rapidly. Eyes narrowed he meowed louder over the sounds of peril. "Where did you guys go?" Just as luck would have it, his daughter scrambled to her paws. She looked horrible, vomit dribbling down her chin but she looked coherent enough to speak. Breathing heavily she rested against Silentpaw's shoulder. Owltalon narrowed his eyes at the gesture but waited patiently for the apprentice to speak. "There's a hole near the elder's den." His daughter's breathing was ragged but she somehow managed to speak, "It's leads up to the top of the hollow. I think everyone should be able to climb it." Owltalon immediately spun on his paws, "Follow me." He ordered. Leaping over the many logs in the camp he made his way over to the high-ledge. With one powerful jump he was atop the rocky out-ledge. Raising his voice he yowled to the tattered cats, "Everyone listen!" Lifting his chin he yowled later, "There's an escape route near the elder's den!" His eyes rested on Silentpaw, "Silentpaw can lead you there!" He, himself was going to stay in camp until everyone was out. The tom's amber gaze fell upon Riverstar's lifeless body. I'll keep your clan safe. That was his promise. Owltalon's eyes flickered restlessly around the camp, making sure everyone was safe. The clan was slowly making their way to the escape route. For once he was glad that Kestrelpaw was such a trouble-maker. If she hadn't made that journey they would have been trapped. Rainflight. Her name had been nagging at the back of his mind since the first tree fell. Where was she? He gulped, was she safe? He leaped off of the high-ledge, offering words of encouragement to everyone he passed. Suddenly they were face to face, Dapplekit dangled from her jaws. "Rainflight." his voice was almost pleading, "I'm sorry." he breathed. Tears scalded his cheeks. Why was he so emotional? He wasn't one to cry so easily. He loved her so much. "I can't do this without you." ooc: Crap post is crap. [bg=4f3823][atrb=border,0,true]

Widstrike flicked her tail, her violet eyes half closed in the sun. She had been dreaming of hunting mice. Then her summer dozing had been broken by the sound of Owltalon's yowls. the multi-coloured she-cat was on her feet at once. Riverstar was dead, that couldn't be. She shook her head in disbelief. No, not Riverstar. "Who did this?" She yowled, ears flattened back agains ther skull. "Let me at them and I'll rip their ears and right off!" Her face twisted into a snarl and her fur bristled. However her brave, and rather insane speech was interrupted by the sound of a tree falling. "She let out a scream of terror and leapt out of the way, furs standing straight up in the air. "What in the name of great starclan?" She gasped, backing away. "Monsters... how did they find us here?" She gulped and then stood firm, glaring at the horrible creatures. She wasn't scared of them, not now not ever! One of the monsters let out a roar and Wildstrike leapt back further. Okay maybe she was a little scared of them. After all they were monsters that could kill a cat. However she wasn't going to act scared anymore. The clan had to get out of here, and she had to help. She looked around, seeing if there was anyone she could help. The cats were hurrying towards a bolt hole in the seniors den. Wildstrike however, didn't run towards the bolt hole. She had to make sure the apprentices got out, and the sick cats, and the queens with their kits. She looked up. "Starclan, you better not let me die risking my tail." She mewed, then ran towards the medicine cat's den. [bg=black][atrb=border,0,true]

Ratkit was napping peacefully in front of the nursery, soaking up the warm summer sun. So far the day was going by slowly with nothing exciting. Kestrelpaw was sick, Silentpaw's mentor was injured, Silentpaw and Owltalon had left camp and come back with the body of Riverstar. Yup, nothing exciting there. Actually, it was very exciting. Ratkit was thinking with his eyes closed, sprawled over the ground. This meant that Owltalon was now leader, and a deputy would have to be picked. Ratkit flipped up off the ground with an angry huff. Hopefully Owltalon was smart and wouldn't pick a stupid, or power hungry, or fight-first-talk-later leader. Ratkit squinted his eyes over at Owltalon and the body of his old leader. The sun hindered his view, which made it hard for Ratkit to see in that direction. One second everything was okay besides the fact that Riverstar was dead, the next second a tree was resting a few fox length's in front of Ratkit. With a yelp of surprise he backed away. Where had that come from! The gray tom looked up and saw another one falling from the sky, the next second it was on the ground. Ratkit was frozen in place. He didn't know what to do, how to help, or where to go with the entrance to camp blocked. Cats were in a frenzy, Jaypaw and Ravenpaw were hurt, a strange cat was helping them, Owltalon was talking to Silentpaw and Kestrelpaw, and warriors were running all over the place getting others out of danger. Ratkit took a small step forward just as another tree fell from the sky. Now he was moving. He raced over to the edge, away from the clearing, praying that some cat would find a way out soon. Another tree fell, right in front of Ratkit. He was cornered, but so far in no danger if he could climb out. Bunching his legs he scrabbled onto the tree. From that hight he could see the full impact of chaos and destruction in the camp. Owltalon was directing cats out of the camp through a hidden exit, Ratkit began that way. This time when a tree fell in landed on top of him, luckily he was just stuck in the branches. "Somebody get me out of here!" [bg=3f3833][atrb=border,0,true]

S i l e n t p a w
--i walk alone, fighting for only the shadows that walk beside me

Silentpaw froze. Him? Why him? He was just a mere apprentice! Couldn't he teach a more older warrior the way and he could lead the whole entire Clan to safety? He should be staying behind to help Kestrelpaw, anyway. But, he couldn't argue with the soon-to-be leader. Especially in this crisis. Plus, this was for his Clan. It was his job now to protect ThunderClan.

Gaining more confidence, he glanced over to Kestrelpaw and meowed, "Let's go. I'm not leaving you behind. Plus I might need you. But you're going to have to be a little faster. You can rest and get some herbs when we get to the hollow. Besides," with a faint smirk he continued, "You want to be the hero, not the handicapped, right? Or do you want me to take all the fame?"

Making sure the brown tabby was still supported on his shoulder, he quickly lead the way to the escape route. "Follow me, unless you want to die!" Silentpaw hissed over his empty shoulder, taking his time toward the hole in the elder's den so that everyone could follow and know where he was going. Hauling his way through the hole, he made sure Kestrelpaw didn't get stuck or fall over, then in a faster pace made his way toward the hollow.

Now that he was older and more stronger, it was much more easier to climb. But since he was bigger he was heavier, and it was also the climb was smaller than he remembered, which only gave room for two full grown cats to climb one at a time. But this time he didn't have to rely on vines, just rock, and when he succeeded the climb he helped Kestrelpaw up, then called down from the height, "There is only enough room for two full grown cats, so to make things faster each group that climbs will have a warrior and two apprentices. Everyone, be careful!" With his last warning out, he sighed and waited, praying everyone would get out safely.



R a i n f l i g h t
--keep trying, you won't bring me down in the rain

Relief flooded Rainflight when Dappledkit was safely in her jaws. But it wasn't yet the time to celebrate. She had to get her out of this mayhem. She glanced over toward Owltalon, who was giving out his last speech. Follow an apprentice, Rainflight thought bitterly. Does he want us all to die? Then she mentally hit herself. Was she really doubting a member of her Clan? Or was it Owltalon she was doubting? Either way, she was letting her anger get to her. She couldn't think so negatively, especially in this situation!

Responding to Silentpaw's threat with a sigh toward his ill-picked words, she jumped down from the trunk, looking up from her landing only to see Owltalon. Surprised, she was just about to ignore his sudden appearance when the tom spoke up in shaky words. The enraged part of Rainflight's mind fought back. He just wants to apologize because he knows he's too weak to handle things himself! Don't listen to him! But Rainflight's stubborn part of mind, the part who still loved Owltalon no matter what, said otherwise. He finally realized how much he loves you. How much he needs you. How sorry he is. Go to him.

Rainflight picked the side she hadn't picked since the fight.


"I'm glad you see it my way, instead of being so stubborn and thinking you know everything about queens and she-cats," Rainflight joked, smiling and rubbing her cheek against his.
"I never leaved you, you know. Now let's get these cats to safety." Licking the tears brimming off of Owltalon's eyes, she picked Dappledkit back up and turned away, expecting Owltalon to follow. Then she did what she had never done in many, many moons.

She cried.


J a y p a w
--punish me for my crime, for I am too quiet

Jaypaw smiled nervously, "C-calm down, Ravenpaw. E-everything is going to be alright..."

Or so he hoped.

Jaypaw felt himself jump. A new cat appeared in the scene, and from what he saw he had no memory of this cat. Wait...a loner? And..he knew Ravenpaw? What was going on? How did he knew his friend? What relationship did they have between them? They must know each other enough to at least be friends, but with a loner? Jaypaw thought she was afraid of outsiders! Was it all a trick to hide the fact she was seeing a loner? What if it was worse? What if they had more things going on than friendship?

No...Ravenpaw was too young. But maybe that was why she was oblivious to his crush? Shaking his head to barrier the thoughts, he noticed from all his doubt the loner flashed a look. He understood, but he didn't know if he should comply. But it was all up to Ravenpaw. "Are...are you going to follow him...?"

Sevenkit had been sleeping on a rock high up in the camp. However the sounds of the deputy's call woke the little black and red kitten up. She fixed her copper red flecked eyes on the deputy. Riverstar was dead? That was a shock, and not good. She looked up, it was also proof that Starclan was just a kit's tale. They needed Riverstar right now, why would Starclan take her away from them? She glared down and didn't move, at least not until a massive tree fell in the middle of the camp. At once the clan dissolved into chaos. Sevenkit stayed where she was, she was out of danger. Slowly she began making her way along the rocky ledge, carefully placing her paws as not to slip and fall. A fall could mean her death As she headed towards safety a cry came to her ears. It was her brother, Ratkit. She knew that for some reason Ratkit hated her. It wasn't her fault. However hating her or not, they were still family. He was still her little brother. She turned her course and ran towards the tree. "Come on brother." She said, grabbing him and pulling at him. "Let me help you." She didn't wait for his answer, but pulled her smaller brother out of harm's way and began dragging him to safety. A creaking sound alreted her to iminent danger. Looking up she saw the tree falling. There wasn't time. Closing her eyes she shoved Ratkit out of the way and braced herself for the end, for the all consuming darkness to take her. Just before the tree landed on her she locked her eyes with Ratkit's. "Goodbye.... brother." Then... darkness. Blood pooled out around the young kit's broken body. One could only wonder, if a cat doesn't believe is Starclan, do they join its ranks when they die? [bg=Black][atrb=border,0,true]

Ravenpaw's mind was whirling, clouded with fear. She barely heard Jaypaw over the ruckus the clan was making. She didn't know what to do, where to go, Jaypaw's words didn't give her a lot of comfort. But then, out of the blue, she heard another familiar voice. She looked up, and there was Streak. The black she-cat gasped with surprise. "Streak! Wh-what are you doing here?" The stupid tom was risking his life to save her, just like Jaypaw. Something in the back of her mind spoke, but she wasn't paying attention. If she was, she would have heard "Oh dear, I think I'm in love with two toms!" The small apprentice looked from Streak to Jaypaw. They were waiting for her reply. Would she follow Streak, or ignore him. It was kind of impossible since she had shouted out his name, and she did trust that Streak wouldn't lead her or Jaypaw into danger. She gulped then nodded. "L-lead the way, Streak." she turned to look at Jaypaw. "I-I guess I'll explain later." and then she followed after her friend, who lead them to her brother. It was a secret exit, and there was room for two warriors at a time. Ravenpaw looked around at the chaos around her. Her home was gone. Tears ran down her face as she followed Streak up, Jaypaw climbed up beside her. Please StarClan, let mama and daddy be safe. Ravenpaw just realized she hadn't seen them since yesterday. Where could they be? [bg=799696][atrb=border,0,true]

Ratkit clawed at the tree, slowly making his way up. He could make it by himself, but help would make it faster. Suddenly he heard Sevenkit's voice and her black head appeared above him. He felt a small growl form in his throat. Just like the special seven toed kit to come and save him. But he couldn't complain now, both he and Sevenkit had to escape. She grabbed his scruff and Ratkit helped her by pushing up. Soon he was out, but what was odd was that Sevenkit was dragging him. "I can walk, mouse-brain!" Ratkit hissed as he pulled himself out of her grip. Just as he was released and began walking to the elders den where everyone was going that he heard a crack. He looked above him and there was a tree. Before he could comprehend what was happening, Sevenkit pushed him out of the way and he heard her last words. "Goodbye.... brother." Ratkit's whole body froze. He felt like ice. There before him was a tree, right there where Sevenkit had once stood. He could just see some of her mangled body, and blood began to seep out from under the brown bark. He backed away, turned, and ran out of terror. Sevenkit was dead. He had to get out of here. And if Otterfoot, when Otterfoot, found out what had happened, he didn't want to imagine it. He raced toward the elders den, totally oblivious to what was happening around him, what was in front of him. He slammed right into Rainflight, and the kit she carried in her mouth fell right on top of Ratkit. "Oof! S-sorry, Rainflight." Ratkit mumbled as he slide out from underneath the kit. It was Dapplekit, Owltalon's and Rainflight's adopted daughter. What had happened just moments ago raced back into his mind. He turned to look into Rainflight's eyes, there were tears in them. "S-sevenkit is dead...a tree fell on her." it was all he could say. [bg=3f3833][atrb=border,0,true]

Kestrelpaw hoisted herself up, pressing herself against Silentpaw's shoulder. She could feel Owltalon's gaze burn right through her pelt; she ignored it. Clearing her throat she quickly explained to her father where the hole was and how big it was. It took the tom a few seconds before he was already directing her clan mates where to go. Weary she followed Silentpaw, her body still supported by his. The little apprentice tried to grin at his words, attack with a feisty counter. To show any sign that she was still 'she'. But her stomach hurt so bad, and the raw feeling of pain settled uncomfortably in the back of her mind. My camp is being destroyed. Instead the best she could offer was a humble purr, "I won't leave you." The whole gaped before them. Memories of a bright eyed, cheery kit made her eyes water. I'm sorry Skunk-kit, so, so sorry. The little tom drifted through her mind. He wanted to be a warrior so bad. Gulping back the lump in her throat she pushed the memories away. She had to stay strong for her clan. Narrowing her eyes she followed the silver tom into the tunnel. Kestrelpaw titled her head to the sky, admiring the way the clouds danced lazily in the sky. Silentpaw began pulling himself up onto the first ledge. Kestrelpaw clumsily followed in pursuit. The roadway to freedom was a lot smaller than she had remembered. Her fluffy pelt practically grazed the sides as she scooted herself upward. Paw after paw she gradually made her way to the top. Panting she collapsed down beside Silentpaw. Feebly she offered a hesitant grin. "Just tired." She was winded, and her stomach still ached from before. But curiosity somehow managed to beat the aches and pains. Lifting herself onto shaky paws she stood, teetering on the side of the ledge. The whole camp laid out before her. She could see more monster's in the distance; while the closer ones continued destroying her camp. She spotted her parent's easily. They finally made up. A joyful tingling raced down her spine, she only hoped one day she, herself would be able to find such love. She wouldn't have to look far; gazing over her shoulder she found herself watching Silentpaw help others up through the hole. Kestrelpaw knew she already had found it.

Dapplekit
The troublesome kit of Thunderclan

[/color]

Dapplekit hung from rainflights grasp and slowly looked around at everything around her. Her home was never going to be the same, if it even survived this.. This would have been the second home that she lost. She wondered where they would go? What were they going to do about food? Was everyone going to survive? Would they get out of here ali-
she let out a startled "Oof"

[/color] as she landed on a soft body below her. What was going on why had Rainflight dropped her?! was she hurt? Had she hurt the cat beneath her? She quickly found out no, because the other kit wiggled out from underneath her. It was Ratkit, the goofy gray cat with a bald tail. He was older than her and really dapplekit was a little scared of him. But at that moment she wasn't. He looked just as scared as she did. That when she saw the tears and head the words. She looked at her mom and slowly moved closer to Ratkit.
"It'll be okay Ratkit. I'm sure Starclan will take care of her"[/color] she mewed softly, almost a squeak and rubbed her head against his shoulder, hoping to comfort him. "But, can we get outta here mama? please?"[/color][/size][/left]

Streak
The thief of all rouges

[/color]

Streak followed the other cats glad that Ravenpaw and Jaypaw were following him. He could hear Ravenpaw crying and he wanted to comfort her so badly but he had to get them out of here safely. One they reached open air Streak perked his ears and sniffed the air. The other clan members were heading toward the lake if he was smelling things right. Once they were away from the camp exit, Streak turned and looked at ravenpaw.
"your clan is heading toward the lake. You should follow them."

[/color] he mewed quietly. "i don't know if I'll see you again...so thank you. For everything."[/color]
He slowly stepped forward and rubbed his head against her neck and shoulder and gently licked her ear. He didn't want to see her go, but he couldn't tear her away from her clan.
"By the way...You were Ebony."[/color] he murmured and looked at her. He smiled and backed away. He started to turn and leave what he would forever know as the warrior life.[/size][/left]

A kit...lost?

Rainflight was just about to double-check all the dens while Owltalon helped everyone escape. Monster after monster were coming to destroy their home, and if she's gonna die, she's gonna die helping her Clan and dying at Owltalon's side. But, it wasn't a death wish. She was too stubborn to die. Not after all the suffering they are putting on her clan-mates.

After checking, a sudden collision broke her hold of Dapplekit. Blinking in surprise her fur was on end, suspecting trouble, but all she got was a young kit. Ratkit. As soon as he came he went, but he thought twice and decided to speak with Rainflight. She thought he was asking for help, but instead she got unsettling news.

Sevenkit was dead.

It was too late to fetch her body, for it could have been crushed. All she could do was mourn, wish for safety travel to StarClan, comfort the young tom, and spread the news of the unfortunate death. "A kit...lost to this mess...I'm so sorry, Ratkit. I understand your pain all too well." Rainflight whispered in a sorrowful mew. Turning to Dapplekit she nodded. "Come on, you two. The camp is almost empty. The dens are cleared out. We just need to fetch the deputy and then we'll get out of here, alright?"

Rainflight led the way slowly so the kits could catch up, toward Owltalon with a faint spark of happiness in her eye. It was nice not to feel awkward around him anymore. "It's time to leave."

--I'm not like most she-cats

Iceblink felt butterflies in her stomach.

She was going to have kit again.

As she trotted happily toward camp with Loudstorm by her side, she felt as if she had fallen in love with him all over again. She was determined to stay by his side no matter what patrol he was on, what he was doing, or when it was for the whole day. It was going to be their day. And she was going to force it no matter what.

A rumbling sound took her off guard, glancing at her mate with a questioning look. Flicking her tail to signal that he follows she raced ahead, skidding to a stop when she reached the camp.

Holy StarClan...

Before her eyes, their camp was being destroyed. This was happening the whole time they were gone? It seemed like they came just in time, because only few cats remained. They were all heading toward the same exit. "Loudstorm..." Iceblink whispered hoarsely. "Our home..."

It looked like they were going to have their day together running for their lives. How romantic.
