(EVERY ThunderClan cat) FIRE!!

[Deleted]

Ember sniffed the air. Thunder grumbled in the distance, reminding her of old Bluesky. She mourned the death of her friend. Pushing out the thought she continued further into the woods on silent paws.

Heavy rainclouds crossed the sky, and a cold breeze ruffled the fur on her neck as she stalked towards Twoleg Place. She lifted her head and looked around. A pigeon lay a few paces off, scraping up leaves as it dug for food. It was unaware and would be an easy catch.

Ember dropped into a hunting position, ears pricked and eyes wide. Her tail flicked back and forth as she eyed her prey. She crawled forward. The bird was hardly a rabbit hop away. She wriggled her haunches ready to spring when....

BOOM!

Ember sprang back in surprise as the pigeon took off, frightened. Ember's fear scent was strong and she was trembling almost uncontrollably.

Fox Dung! She cursed, I would have caught that, and the thunder just scared me; thats all.

She doubted any prey would be left after that show. So, she turned herself towards camp, crossly dragging her feet. Her ears were flat against her head and her tail drooped as she trudged onward. It was dark, lit up only by an occasional flash of lightning, stretching down to the earth like a finger.

When she emerged in camp, she hauled herself towards the warriors den, sinking gratefully into her warm nest. She was soon in a dreamless sleep.

-----

Ember woke. Something was different. She lifted her head groggily and sniffed the air.
Her eyes snapped open and were as round as full moons as she recognized the dreadful smell.
Smoke!

[Teddy ♥]

The dreams were cloudy as it as. It didn't help the storm rumbling through his ears. Teddy scooted closer to Honeypelt. Her warmth comforted him. He licked her cheek and laid his head back down. He took breath. His eyes shot open. The wift of smoke flooded his lungs. He gasped for fresh air. He felt it burn his eyes. He could see Emberflare was awake. She was the Thunderclan deputy. He went to her. "What do we do?" he asked.

[Deleted]

Emberflare shook her head to clear her mind. She needed to think; panicking was not an option.
"What do we do?" She looked up at Teddy.
"We need everyone to evacuate. Teddy, run to the nursery and gather all the queens and kits. I'll wake the others. We need everyone to get to Sunningrocks immediately. We can't get stuck in camp or it will mean ThunderClan's ultimate death."
She tried to shake off the thought; ThunderClan would survive, every cat. She would make sure of that.
"After the warriors and queens are together, we need to fetch Morningmist and Sunpaw. Then the apprentices. But I'm sure everyone would be awake by the stench of smoke before that.

She stood up, shaking scraps of moss off her pelt. "And we need an apprentice to run to RiverClan and ask for shelter. Spiritpaw should be willing."

With that, she pushed her way into the clearing. The fire was on the opposite side of camp, closer to Fernstar's den. She let out a bloodcurling screech which was sure to wake anyone within a mile of the forest.

[Teddy ♥]

Teddy listened to the Deputy. He nodded and went straight to the nursery. He felt a feeling of panic enter his system. He hated smoke. He knew it was the creation of the dumb two legs. "Every one wake up, there is a fire!" he yowled into the nursery. He went to the queens and shook them gently. "We need to evacuate immediately," he meowed in instruction.

Nightheart jumped up in his nest, jolted out of sleep after hearing a loud screech. His eyes were wide and teary now. He coughed and looked around. Smoke!

He ran out of the den and saw the Thunderclan deputy and Teddy rousing everyone. Night ran over to the Thunderclan deputy. "What are we going to do!? There's no way we can get everyone up and get out in time before the fire engulfs the camp!" he choked. His eyes were burning now.

He looked in the direction of where the fire was coming. It was closing in fast. He let out a growl. Stupid twolegs! He could see some of the yellow-orange flames in the distance. He looked back at the Emberflame waiting for her answer and plan on getting everyone out.

He himself was still wounded from his encounter with the three Riverclan cats at Sunningrocks and didn't know if he could walk too far. He let out a cough as more smoke filled his lungs.

[Deleted]

The smoke burned. Burned her eyes, nose and lungs. The only thing more painfull than this was losing Fatepaw to the twoleg monster. She darted around, her belly skimming the ground, hoping for a breath of fresh air to clear her smoking breaths. Falconpaw could her the screams and yowls around her. But the smoke was so very thick, Where is everyone?? Her head told her to bolt, but her loyalty to her clan told her to find her clan members. Running now, she yowled her loudest, "GET UP!!! Fire!! Everyone run!!" she coughed as another lungfull of smoke burned her insides. alconpaw made her way to the elders den. Painfull memories burned her mind. Bluesky. Her favorite elders name floated across her mind. I WILL help everyone. For you. For... she gasped as a sob escaped her mouth. Tears hung in the corners of her eyes. Shaking her head, she held her head high, her green eyes glowing in determination. Starclan will have no new thunderclan members today, not if i can help it.

Emberflare glanced at Nightheart, her eyes calm and filled with authority.
"We will start evacuating immediately," She answered. "I want you to wake as many cats as you can in the Warriors den and get them to the clearing. We will start in small groups, the weakest cats first. I want you to lead it. Take Morningmist and make sure everyone makes it safely to Sunningrocks.
"Teddy will lead the second. I want Sunpaw to travel with them. I will lead the third, filled with the remaining cats. Falconpaw will come with me." She lifted her eyes to Silverpelt. "We may not have enough time, roud up the cats and head out immediately."

Emberflare turned and sprinted to Teddy, repeating her instructions. Then she lifte her head, scanning the clearing till she spotted Falconpaw. She made her way to the apprentice, belly skimming the ground, and once again relayed directions.

[Deleted]

Falconpaw charged straight to the elders den, screaming as loud as her hoarse lungs would allow her. "Everyone, FIRE!!!" She stumbled as she gasped for air in the smokey haze. Have. To. Get. Out. Of. Smoke. Her mind reeled, her lungs screamed, her eyes burned, her nostrils flared. She shut her eyes, held her breath, and ran. Ran as fast as she could, not knowing where she was going. A sudden burst of intense heat stopped her in her tracks. She cracked her eyelids, catching a terrifying glimpse of a wall of fire. It was infront of her. Burning. Thick, black smoke poured out. She yowled as a burning branch fell beside her. Sparks fell on her thick orange pelt, she screamed with pain as they burned. Falconnpaw dropped to the ground, rolling and swiping at her fur, desprate to stop a fiire from starting on her. When she was sure she had put out the sparks, she looked up. Her shoulders sank in dismay. She was surrounded by wall of fire. She was trapped in this fiery cell, alone.

[Deleted]

Emberstar tossed her head every which way, making sure every cat could get out. She heard a yowl full of fear and her head snapped toward the entrance. A circle of high flames of heat ws very close to their only way out. Inside the flames an orange pelt flashed.
Falconpaw!

Emberstar dashed toward the fire and leaped, soaring over the licking flames and ignoring the tongues of fury that grabbed at her calico pelt.
"Falconpaw," Emberstar called, bolting to the apprentices side, "Follow me,"
She nudged the apprentice toward a weak spot in the burning wall before ssprinting toward it herself, pushing with her back feet to fly over it.

Turning back, she squinted her eyes and watched for Falconpaw.

[Deleted]

Falconpaw gasped in shock as Emberstar burst through the wall of fire.
"Follow me!" she yelled, than jumped through a weak patch in the flame wall. Scrambling up, Falconpaw jumped through the fire after Emberstar. Running through the thick smoke, she could just make out Embers calico pelt hazily in the distance. Almost there, ughh i cant see a thing!! struggling to breathe, she slipped, her paw sliding into hot ash. "YOWWLLL" she screamed. lifting up her burning paw, she examined it, it was an angry pink red and pieces of black ash and burned skin hung in ragged edges. A loud snap rang out through the roaring of the fire. A burning tree, engulfed in flames, fell forward. Its fiery wrath coming down, on Emberstar. Ignoring the horrid pain in her charred paw, she ran as fast as she could go, zooming over to Ember. Falconpaw jumped, shoving Ember roughly backwards, as the tree hit the ground. Falconpaws orange body was no where to be seen through the haze of smoke and burning tree.
