Blossomfall's P.O.V.

I heard a gasp from Bumblestripe, and he turned to me. "Oh my god, look…" He whispered, showing me a text from Lionblaze on WOC. It read:

Lion King: My house just caught on fire guys. Ashfur died. SOS

Bee Movie: OMG WTH?

Down with the trees: Is everyone ok?

Down with the trees: Well, except Ashfur, of course RIP.

Lion King: Physically, yes.

Lion King: Well, except Jayfeather. He disappeared. Tried contacting him, but he wont reply.

Down with the trees: WHAT? Let me try, we're friends.

Down with the trees has left the chat.

What? Ashfur was dead? Jayfeather was missing? I knew the storm was bad, but… I looked out the window at the pouring down rain. I whipped out my own phone. It's case was black with little rubber spikes. I opened WOC and opened school wide chat.

Fallingblossoms: Ivy did you see what happened to Lion Jay and Holly? Wtf?!

Swim in Ivy: Yea Dove showed me. Must have been terrible.

Fallingblossoms: Yeah. Briar is trying to contact Jay

Swim in Ivy: Imagine how terrible it would be to lose your sibling

Fallingblossoms: idk if i would be too sad to lose one of these losers.

Swim in Ivy: Blossomfall, you don't mean that. What if Briarlight died? How would you feel?

Fallingblossoms: Ugh. Bad i guess

Swim in Ivy: Gtg mom is telling us we have to drive them to Principal Firestar's house. Ttyl

Fallingblossoms: Bye

I turned to Bumblestripe. "Do you think the storm could knock out the power?" I asked him. He shook his head, telling me that it would probably be fine. He didn't think the storm was that bad. But of course, he was wrong. Half an hour later, the power went completely out. Briarlight was upstairs and screamed, because her door was closed and it was pitch black. Millie ran upstairs and was hugging her and kissing her all the way down.

I picked up a scented candle Millie always has lighted. I waved it in Bumblestripes face, laughing as the light reflected on his glasses. He crossed his arms and looked at me as if I were an idiot. Which, I guess I kind of was. I sat down next to Briarlight and put it on the table, revealing her book.

"Oh, thanks, Blossomfall. This storm is scary, huh?" She commented, picking up her book. She was only on book three of series four in Warriors. I was already done reading the newest book! She had all this free time, yet she never uses it for the best series ever! It was written by four women who worked at the school. Best part? They used us students in the books! They took our names and molded them into cat characters. I'm in it, and so is everyone I know.

"Yeah, I guess. I think the fire was the worst part." I relaxed into our light brown sofa. "Did you manage to contact Jayfeather?"

Briarlight tensed and looked down sadly. "No. He never replied."

I frowned. "Wonder where he went." I muttered, while looking over as Bumblestripe came and sat beside me.

"Aw, look at you two bonding!" He grunted as I shoved him in the side, then laughed it off, continuing. "Mom told me it would be a good idea if we all slept on the couch tonight." He grinned, saying, "She said we could finish off the leftover pizza!"

"Yay..!" Briarlight whispered, trying to shake off the fire thing. I sighed.

"Listen, as much as I hate to admit it, no one I actually care about got hurt. No offense to Ashfur, of course, but you gotta look on the bright side. Jayfeather is probably couch-surfing at his aunts. Who knows what a fire can do to a blin person?"

"Yeah, especially when all that happened." Bumblestripe added.

"What do you mean?" I asked, confused.

"You didn't see? Lionblaze told us all about what happened. It must have been horrifying." Slowly, in full detail, Bumblestripe repeated word for word what Lionblaze wrote. After he was done, I sighed.

At about midnight, the power was back on. I checked my phone to make sure nothing was gone, and walked up to my room, enjoying the cool air coming from my fan. It was so hot, all I had on now were a pair of gym shorts and a sports bra. I collapsed onto my bed and fell asleep.

"Good Morning, Blossomfall!" My alarm sang, beginning to put on some music. I smacked it and got up. Would school be cancelled? The storm was bad enough to knock the power out. I glanced out my small window (I slept in the "attic". No one ever goes there but me, and it's cozy.). Branches were strewn across the puddle filled street. I opened WOC, needing a status update.

Berrystumpytail: Hey Blossomfall!

Foxy: SUP GUYS I GOT BACK IN HAHAHAHA SUCKAS

Fallingblossoms: Jeez anyone else here?

Fluffydove: Me

HollyJolly: I am here.

Fallingblossoms: Good some sensible ppl.

Fallingblossoms: Anybody know if school is cancelled?

HollyJolly: Hope not… I want something to distract me.

Fluffydove: It should say on the front page of WOC. Will someone check and report back?

HollyJolly: Sure, it'll give me something to do.

HollyJolly has left the chat.

Fallingblossoms: Poor Holly… Imagine losing your house and witnessing someone die?

Fluffydove: And don't forget about Jayfeather. Where is he?

Berrystumpytail: Yeah. I love my house! Idk what I'd do without it. Well, probably live at my dad's place, but still!

HollyJolly joined the chat.

HollyJolly: STOP TALKING ABOUT ME BEHIND MY BACK.

Fallingblossoms: Sorry, we were just pitying you.

HollyJolly: Yeah? Well I don't need pity. School isn't out, get yourself ready, mousebrains.

HollyJolly left the chat.

Ugh. School. Which also means nightschool. Which also means Brokenstar and Hawkfrost. But the good news? Tonight I had a class with Ivypool. Hawkfrost was taking over. Yuck, I hate them both.

I got up from bed with an exaggerated grunt. I stumbled to my closet and picked out my tee-shirt that had the words: "Don't look at me" on it and a Enderman. What? I got it when I was like, 13. I liked Minecraft, okay? I also think it's kind of funny and edgy, so I keep it. I grabbed my ripped jeans and put them on, tightening my black belt onto my waist. I combed my hair (Which is one of those shaved on one side, flowing on the other kind of things, you know?) and ran downstairs with my phone.

"Mom! Let me go to school today, please! I'm so bored!" I heard Briarlight complain in the kitchen. I walked in to get some cereal and listened to the conversation.

Mom bit her lip, and said, "Honey, I don't know…" This was outrageous! She hadn't gone to school in like, two weeks! Why is mom so mean? Then I snapped myself back. No. I don't pity her! She gets all this attention from mom, and then complains! What a brat!

I poured the cereal and got the milk as Briarlight said, "But Mom, I don't have a doctors appointment today, and maybe Jayfeather will be there! I need to comfort the Claws! Do you know what happened to them?"

"Yes, yes, it's all over the news, but going out when the storm is still in motion… What if there's a tornado?" Mom started panicking and pacing the kitchen.

Briarlight moved forward in her wheelchair and faced Mom. "Listen, if I stay home, so does Blossomfall and Bumblestripe! It's not fair to them." I almost dropped the milk. What would Mom say? Would Briarlight go to school? Would I skip?

Mom took a deep breath. "Fine, you can go to school." Briarlight cheered. I smiled, finishing pouring my milk and getting ready to eat.

I'm glad Briarlight got what she wanted.

And do I feel bad if Mom didn't?

Not one bit.
