Fire!

[Crowy]

[I'm allowed to do stuff like this]

It had been dry for ages; forever it seemed, ever since the snow melted no rain had fallen on ThunderClan territory. Prey was leaving, migrating to RiverClan or ShadowClan territory. Cats were ill, hungry, thirsty. What could be going on? Had StarClan punished them? Lilyfire thought as she sat, and watched the skinny cats walk around complaining about the sunny, hot weather. She sighed, and looked at her paws. It couldn't have been her... StarClan had said they wanted her to mate with Moonpaw.

She drew a deep breath, and let out a long, loud sigh. Things weren't going too good in ThunderClan. She looked up at the sky, and her eyes widened. She could see smoke, thick, black smoke. She yelped, and ran up a tree, climbing to the top. There, in the distance, just by the Fourtrees, was a blaze, and the wind was driving it towards ThunderClan camp! What should she do? She gulped, and leapt from the tree in a heap on the floor. She pushed herself up, and onto the Highrock.

"ThunderClanners! Look, up into the sky! A blaze is heading for camp! We've got to leave!" she yowled, looking at the confused cats. Some screamed, others laughed, and some just stared at the sky.

"How do you know you're right, Lilyfire?" Came Brokensoul's voice. Lilyfire growled.

"Is the smoke not enough for you? We've got to leave!"

Just then, a cat ran into camp, her fur singed. Silktail. She collapsed before them.

"Fire... Fourtrees... Trees burning... twolegs everywhere... must leave... before too... late..."

Robinclaw dashed after Silktail into the camp. His fur was singed. His breath was caught in his throut as he yelled, "Fire!" He raised into the nuresy and awoke the queens and kits. "Hurry! Get up!"
~~~~~
Featherdance shoot out from the Warriors den and looked around for Rivertail. Then she remembered that they had desided to part. She sighed and walked over to Lilyfire, Thunderclans Medicine cat. "Were do we go? Should I run over to Riverclan and ask if we can cross into there territory?"
~~~~~
Darkmask followed his sister out of the warriors den slower then he ment to. He growled at a cat behind him as they tried to push out. "Sorry." he mewed and walked over to his sister.

Twinetail was one of those who appeared to be frozen when he heard the news, but he was just thinking. His thoughts were mainly of how to get all the cats out but he was also wondering where Silktail was. When, right on cue, she dashed in with her fur singed, he sprinted over to her, licking her all over. "Silktail, Silktail! Oh StarClan, are you okay? We need to get you out of here, away from the smoke," he said, babbling a bit in his worry. He considered picking her up by the scruff and taking her away from their flaming territory. His calm demeanour had completely melted away and Twinetail was feeling very panicked. Maybe he should get a kit or something; he did know he had to help. "Silktail, do you think you can walk, or do you need help?" Twinetail asked nervously.

Snowheart was standing in the middle of the camp, unsure of what to do. Her fur stood straight, and the faint smell of smoke drifted on the air. Suddenly, she felt something push against her body, and she came back to her senses.
Thunderpelt pressed his head against Snowheart again, "Snowheart! Come on! We have to go!" He suddenly remembered Icefur, she'd been outside the camp. He yowled and looked around, "Has anyone seen Icefur?"
Icefur dragged herself into the camp, gasping for air. Her legs were shaking from running so fast, and her fur was wind blown. She caught sight of Thunderpelt and Snowheart out of the corner of her eye, "Move, now!" She took a breath, "It's spreading quickly. We have to get everyone out of the camp! Quickly!" She looked at Lilyfire, "We should move everyone to Riverclan! Nothing is spreading that way, and it can't pass the water anyway." Without waiting for an answer, she yowled above the noise, "Everyone! Get all of the cats out of this camp, and go to Riverclan! Now! Make sure no one gets left behind!"
Snowheart trotted over to Icefur, "What if Riverclan doesn't let us into their camp?" She blinked a few times, and a glow of fear trembled in her eyes.
Icefur shook her head, "They'll let us in. They have to." She swallowed, then signaled to Thunderpelt with her tail, "Go with Snowheart, I'm going to stay here and make sure everyone gets out."
Thunderpelt pressed his muzzle into Icefur's shoulder, "I'll stay too, you might need help." He searched her eyes, but could easily tell she was going to tell him to leave.
Icefur sighed, "Go, Thunderpelt. I'll be fine." She watched him trot out of the camp with Snowheart pressed against him. Then she turned her attention back to the camp, and urged the other cats to move, "Come on! We have to move!"

Featherdance followed the cats leaving the camp. She looked back at her brother Darkmask and mewed, "Come on!"
Her brother seemed to not hear her. She tried to turn back to get him, but the mob of cats pushed her out of camp. She franticly tried to find a way out. Nothing. She was in the middle of it all. She sighed, Darkmask would get out. A heavy weight in her belly seemed to get heavier. Maybe she just needed to get some fresh air. She spoted the river and ran over to it. Air, she breathed in. She was hoping to see Rivertails pelt amoung the reeds. She ran up the bank and onto the stepping stones. As she crossed she got the feeling that cats were watching and the air became tense.
~~~~~~~~~
Darkmask shivered in a daze as cats pushed him around as they headed to the camp entrance. "Move it Darkmask!" a clanmate mewed.
Darkmask looked around for his sister Featherdance and then remembered that she had already left. He dashed out of camp.

"They will let us, even if I have to twist Lightstar's paw to let us stay there." She meowed. Silverstar leaped from her den.

"Warriors, grab the kits, apprentices, help the elders get out safely. Lilyfire, run ahead and tell RiverClan we have to stay on their territory, or else we'll die." the leader meowed loudly over the blaze.

Troubledheart had grabbed two of Brokensoul's kits by the scruff. Brokensoul had another two, and Silverstar made for another two. That left three of them. Coldfrost grabbed the last three, and they pounded from camp with the kits dangling from their jaws.

The fire had encroached upon the camp now. Cats were yowling at everyone to run for their lives, and they ran to the river.

((This would be a great time for Tawnysong to come back to life...hmmmm.)

Icefur ran over to the nursery and looked into it, "I can carry a few kits! Pass them out to me!" She looked up at the sky, and saw the slightest bit of darkness off in the distance. The smell of cringed leaves and foliage now hung in the air.

The fur on her neck and along her spine prickled as Icefur leaned in front of the nursery again, "Hurry! We have to get to Riverclan as soon a possible!" She crouched in front of the entrance to the nursery, and lashed her tail through the air.

Featherwhisker was the first to cross the river. She looked franticly around for help. She looked back at Thunderclan, she could now see the flames as the moved across the forest floor. Cats were rasing and diving into the water father down stream. The smell of smoke was in the air. She coughed and caught site of a filmilar pelt. Rivertail.
Rivertail was farther up stream with cats side him looking at Thunderclan. She called his name. "Rivertail!" but was not heard as a tree camp crashing down on the Thunderclan bank. Featherdance caught site again of Rivertail as they moved her way. She rased over to them. "Thunderclan is one fire!"
