FIRE!!

*Miststar padded out of her den to hear a crackling sound. It was a sound that had grown quite familiar in her dreams, but this time it wasn't a dream.*

Fire.

*The fire crashed through the camp entrance, leaving it in ashes. Miststar yowled in warning.*

Everyone. Get out of the camp! Hurry!!

*She quickly circled camp rushing cats out, going from den to den while the senior warriors found a way out of camp.*

Miststar

(Comment here how your cat reacts.)

Later. . .

*Miststar coughs as the leads her clan into camp, burnt and ruined. She leaped on High Ledge.*

Okay, first thing first. I think everyone's here, so I'll assign who'll work on re-making the dens. Stormwater, Rowanfoot, and Cloudfire will work on the apprentices' den. Berrysplash and Mistywhisker will repair their den. Leafpool and Lilypaw will collect herbs. The queens will fix the nursery and Lightclaw, Eaglefeather, Hazelberry, and Birchpelt will work on the warriors' den. Jaysong an Wavepaw, you'll make sure the elders' den is fixed. Last, Pumaclaw, organize hunting partols immediately.

*The cats nodd and start on their duties. She was just about to jump off High rock when Stormwater dragged a small, lifeless, and burnt brown tabby tom out of the apprentices' den.*

Molepaw!

*Miststar races to her son's dead body.*

I-I'm sorry. He's. . . dead.

Miststar, Stormwater

  2. *Wavepaw, jumps up and hurridly gathered her littermates out, but only Lilypaw followed.*

    Molepaw! Molepaw, where are you?

    Wavepaw

    I have to wake everyone!

    *He then wakes up every apprentice that wasn't awake yet. He was about to leave when he pelt got caught on some thorns at the back of the den.*

    Help!

    Molepaw

    *Wavepaw was going in to help him, but was dragged away by Stormwater who rushed her out of camp.*

    Wavepaw

    Help. Someone help! Help me, PLEASE!!

    *Soon, Molepaw's eyes reflected the flames and was ungulfed by them and cried out in pain.*

    (NO ONE HELP HIM.)

    Molepaw

    *She gasped at the huge fire raging through camp, and suddenly water swam into her mouth. Lilypaaw sneezed and water sprayed out over a huge part of the fire, but then she was whisked away by her father.*

  3. Darkeningpaw just watched as the fire raged, it singing his fur, the flames reflected in his red eyes.

    Runningfleet skidded when he heard a cry of help but was pushed along by Rowanfoot.

  8. You WILL go to StarClan, but not now!

    Maybe if I act like I need help, he'll lead me away from the fire, keeping himself away. Perfect!

    Darkeningpaw! Help, I-I don't know where to go.

    *He padded near the smell of burning fire.*

  9. "Kits! Run!" Fernstream yowls to Whitekit, Shinekit, Nightkit, and Arrowkit. She dashes out of the nursery and dodges fire on her way to the Medicine Cat Den. "Sparkkit!" she calls to her sick kit. Fernstream grabs Sparkkit and runs out of camp, her other kits close behind.

  10. Darkeningpaw looked at him.

    "You've always known where to go, you can see better then the rest of us. How could I go to starclan if I've killed our mother?"

  11. Ravenshadow turned to Brightstreak. "Run! Save our kits!" he called and ran off to Sparrowpaw and Darkeningpaw. "Come on! This way! he said, trying to lead them out of camp. Suddenly, a burning branch fell, blocking the path, forcing Ravenshadow to leave them behind.

  12. You didn't kill her! And, please, Darkeningpaw, help!

    *He winced as he porposely burnt his paw in the fire.*

  13. Greyfrost turned to Birchpelt. "Come on!" he called and ran. He almost left camp, then saw Windpaw traped in flames. "Windpaw!" he called to his friend. He ran t her, trying to help her escape.

    (play along please!)

  14. Darkeningpaw rolled his eyes, muttering in frustration.

    "Fine, this way." he said, turning toward the camp entrance.

    I'll be back over here as soon as I can. he vowed silently.

  15. *He grabbed hold of his tail in between his teeth. When they got to the River Oak, he tackled Darkeningpaw, pinning him down.*

    Your not going anywhere.

    *He tightened his grip when he struggled.*

    Sparrowpaw

    ReplyDelete
  16. "LET ME GO!" Darkeningpaw snarled. "I have to do it." He said, almost whimpering. "Let me go.."

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  17. No, your my brother, how could I let you do this? It wasn't your fault. Imagine how much of your fault it would be if you killed yourself, leaving us? Cloudfire'd kill himself! Think about who your leaving behind, not who's already left us?

  18. "They'd be better off." Darkeningpaw said. "I don't even deserve to be here, in the living world."

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  19. That's not true. Your being selfish! You say it's your fault, but down here, your hurting everybody!

    *He wanted to sink his claws into Darkingpaw's ahoulders, but didn't.*

    Sparrowpaw

    ReplyDelete
  20. "I'm not hurting anyone." he said coldly. "Why can't you just let me go?" he begged. He Struggled from his grip.

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  21. Yes, you are. How does it help when your DEAD!? Don't be stupid! If anything it's no one's fault. Tawnyfur knew that if she attacked the snake, she might not live. It was her choice.

    Sparrowpaw

  22. Darkeningpaw turned his head so he was staring sideways, still glancing at the blazing fire.

    "I don't know, but it would."

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  23. No it wouldn't! Then, the rest of our family would kill ourselves. Then, it would be your fault.

    *This time, he did sink his claws in.*

    Sparrowpaw

  24. Darkeningpaw winced and felt blood seep through his already burnt fur.

    He didn't say anything, but went limp, relaxing in Sparrowpaw's grip.

  25. *He let go of Darkeningpaw and shoved him away as the fire died down.*

  27. "Thanks a lot." Darkeningpaw spat, rolling his eyes.

    >Darkeningpaw<

  28. I just saved your life! Whatever.

    *He padded back into the burnt camp.*

    Sparrowpaw

    ReplyDelete
  29. Darkeningpaw turned away.

    I was so close! in his mind he yowled and grief.

    Starclan, why did you let him stop me?!?!

    "My Life's not worth saving." he whispered, sitting down and just looking at the ground, not following.

    >Darkeningpaw<

  30. *He turned back around to Darkeningpaw and grabbed his tail, dragging him back to camp.*

  31. (darn! didn't get to comment with the fire D: can I do this?)

    (before the fire went out)

    Sunpaw stood cowered in fear as the flames engulfed the apprentices den. She quickly slipped out and some of the flames grazed her shoulder. She clenched her teeth but trudged on. She glanced over her shoulder to see to see the remaining bits of her camp in sadness.

  32. Darkeningpaw yanked his tail free.

    "Don't." He snarled threateningly.

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  33. Do.

    *He tugged harder and pulled him into camp.*

    Sparrowpaw

    ReplyDelete
  34. Darkeningpaw dug his claws into the ground preventing him from moving.

    "Why are you doing this?" he growled.

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  35. Cause I don't want you to die!

    *He yowled loud enough for the whole clan to hear.*

  37. "M-Miststar?" Rosepaw cautiously approached her leader, followed by Dapplepaw. "Miststar, I'm so sorry! It's our fault, isn't it? W-We were supposed to stop the fire, right? Like in the prophecy? We failed the Clan!" she whispered, her heart broken.
    ~Rosepaw
    "I'm sorry Miststar. When we heard the warning, we were so scared and we completely forgot about saving everything! It's okay, we'll leave now. We'll go... Somewhere far away, where we can't fail anyone else." she looked up at Miststar, trembling. "We have to go say good bye to everyone. Sorry." The two sisters turned, their tails drooping, feeling horrible about not saving the camp.

  39. "Sure they don't." Darkeningpaw said darkly.

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yes they do!

    Sparrowpaw

    No, don't go! It's not your fault. . . or the last fire. Afterwards, the prophecy was whispered into my ear. Again. It's okay.

  41. Darkeningpaw just sighed and sat down, at a loss for words, planning what he was going to do next.

  42. Just stay out of trouble.

    *He growled at his brother, then padded to the medicine cat den to get something for his burnt paw.*

    You better come, too.

  43. "So that was just the start?" Dapplepaw squeaked, her fur standing on end.

  44. Darkeningpaw sighed, nodding, and followed him in the the medicine cat's den.

    I hate myself! How could I have been so weak!??! Why wasn't I faster!?! he thought, realizing that instead of thinking about it, he said it softly to himself.

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  45. Your welcome. And I'm afraid so. Yes.

    Miststar

    ReplyDelete
  46. *He turned to his brother, in his face.*

    HOW COULD YOU THINK LIKE THAT?! YOUR SO DUMB! IT WASN'T YOU FAULT.

    *With that, he stalked off to the apprentices' den, forgetting about his paw.*

    Sparrowpaw

  47. Runningfleet just looked at the camp in dismay.

    >Runningfleet<

    Darkeningpaw flinched, and stared after his brother.

  56. Dapplepaw needed to get out of camp and be alone for a while. After asking permission, she headed out into the forest, and down tot he river. She sat up on the bank, watching the river calmly going around a bend and flowing away from her. As she stared at the water, something strange started to happen. The river was changing course and coming right toward her! She gasped and moved away, but the river just changed it's course again and started flowing towards her again. Panicking now, she leaped across the stepping stones and watched as the river gently flowed back into it's own path again. Cautiously, she headed back across, and waited, holding her breath. When it stayed the same, she let out a sigh of relief. Then she realized what she had done. "I moved water!" she whispered in astonishment. She tried to do it again, but this time, she stared at the river and thought "Go backwards, go backwards, go backwards." And it did! Something made a twig snap in the forest behind her, and she turned away from the water to see a squirrel. When she looked back, the river was flowing normally again. "If I don't concentrate, it stays the same," she murmured. "This must be part of the prophecy!" Then, suddenly overcome by her new talent, she raced back to camp to tell Miststar.

  57. No, he was just on his way to kill himself.

    *He realized he was talking to Rainfall and changed his mood.*

    Sorry. I'm glad your alive, too, but I have to talk to my brother.

    *He shrugged her off and followed Darkeningpaw out of camp.*

  58. Darkeningpaw stalked out of camp, unaware that Sparrowpaw was behind him, but sat next to a tree and peered through it's branches.

    Sparrowpaw

    ReplyDelete
  61. "I-I-I-I-I!" Dapplepaw stuttered with glee. "I can make the river change course!!! I just stared at it and concentrated, and it MOVED! Like, wherever I wanted it to!" she bounced happily. "I could still save the Clan for the next fire!"

    Uh, I'm not sure I know what your talking about. Let's hope their's not anymore fires!

  66. Darkeningpaw looked at him calmly.

    "What brings you here, then?" he asked.

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  67. What are doing? Cause if your trying to kill yourself, it's not going to happen.

    Sparrowpaw

  68. "maybe we should come up with a plan to evacute the camp,incase it happens again?"she suggested.

    ~rainfall

  69. "No, I'm not." he said. Yet.

    "Why does it matter, anyways? You don't care."

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  70. No. It's fine; you have nothing to worry about.

    Miststar

    I was being sarcastic. What does it matter that you must make sure you die?

    *He scented Rainfall padding up(if that's okay) and turned to her.*

    Please, help me convince him it wasn't his fault that we die.

    Sparrowpaw

    ReplyDelete
  71. "I thought we've been over this." he said.

    "I shouldn't be living. But obviously, I'm selfish enough to be alive right now." he said bitterly.

    >Darkeningpaw<

  74. "Whatever." Darkeningpaw said, looking at his paws.

    >Darkeningpaw<

    ReplyDelete
  75. Yeah, you say your doing it for Tawnyfur, that you don't deserve to be alive. Well, when you die, that means Tawnyfur's death WAS for nothing. She saved a piece of no good foxdung!! How do you think I feel? She saved me, too. . .

    *Tears came to his eyes.*

  76. rainfall persisted."you didn't anserw my question.do you realy want that?"she asked him gentler this time.

    ~rainfall

    ReplyDelete
  77. Darkeningpaw continued staring at the ground, at a loss for words.

    Would Tawnyfur really save a piece of fox-dung, then? he questioned in his mind.

    all these emotions... it's for the weak.

    I have to be strong about this, for Tawnyfur.

    Tears threatened to form under his eyes.

  78. "I don't know." he said, his voice choked.

    >Darkeningpaw<

  79. Tawnyfur loved us. She gave her life for us. Are you really going to waste her life and give up, just like that?

    Sparrowpaw

    ReplyDelete
  80. "I guess not." Darkeningpaw said that, and he meant it, but something in his mind countered that.

    But it won't be the last time i'll try and join starclan on my own will, Sparrowpaw! he thoght, but he shook it away quickly.

  86. Goldenfeather, eyes wide, was running around the camp, checking for any more signs of the fire. Spotting Miststar, she launched herself towards her leader. "Wh-How did this happen? Will it happen again? We need to come up with a plan to properly evacuate if it happens again! Oh no, what do we do? We need to start repairing..."
    Swiftclaw, padding up next to his sister with Stormfrost at his side, rolled his eyes, all too familiar with Goldenfeather's worried nature. "Oh, shut up and stop worrying, Goldenfeather. At least we're not all dead."
    "But she's right, you know," Stormfrost meowed, ever the calm and reasonable one like her mother. She looked at Miststar, half apologizing for giving a suggestion to her leader when it wasn't ever said allowed for her at the moment. "We do need to start repairing. I mean, with all the kits and elders and everything... including the dead..." she trailed off and bowed her head, knowing it hurt her leader a lot to see her son Molepaw dead.

    Swiftclaw yowls in grief when he realizes that his apprentice was dead. "Why didn't I save him?" he whispers to himself. "I was his mentor!" >He still had a great life to live!< Swiftclaw wailed silently, claws digging into the burnt forest floor. "I have failed! I didn't save my apprentice... Oh, Miststar is going to kill me..." He hung his head, knowing he deserved it.

  90. Fernstream padded back into the burnt camp set Sparkkit on a piece of unburnt moss she found. Sparkkit layed still, and ocationally coughed very hard. "Okay, she has more than a cold! I bet she has whitecough," Fernstream meowed, correct that Sparkkit had whitecough. "Kits, stay away from Sparkkit so you don't get sick, too. I have to get her Berrysplash and Mistywhisker, and hope that they have herbs.
