The cats jumped over any cracks and holes they came across. After traveling for a while they heard a pitiful mew.
"Applefur I'm hungry!" whined a sad voice.
"I know little one, but I can't do anything."
Moonfrost, Badgerstripe, and Rabbitpaw ran off to the voices. There they saw a pale ginger she-cat, and a black and dark brown she-kit with white paws and chest.
"Sagekit!" mewed Rabbitpaw happily, running to the kit. "Where did you find my sister? Applefur right?"
The pale cat known as Applefur smiled at Sagekit.
"She was wandering around crying, so I helped her."
Rabbitpaw was licking Sagekit over and over trying to clean the black off his sister.
"Applefur, did you find any other cats?" Badgerstripe's deep voice mewed.
"Yes. Featherstream is taking care of them now. Were the only few left, come. I'll take you to them."
Then she bounded off to the burnt forest.
The Thunderclan camp was worse than the Windclan camp. Most of the trees were burnt to nothing, what trees were left were cracked onto two on the dens or on cats. A pretty silver grey she-cat was rubbing marigold on a silver grey tom with a black back and white paws. Next to him sat a dark orangey ginger tom, a small white tom with black patches and a black she-cat with a white under belly and paws.
"Featherstream, I found some Windclan survivors."
The silver-grey she-cat known as Featherstream turned to the new arrivals.
"Are they hurt?" she mewed tiredly.
They shook their heads no.
"Then leave me to help Wolfheart!" she hissed harshly.
Badgerstripe rolled his eyes and looked at the hurt cats then at Rabbitpaw.
"Rabbitpaw, go find some marigold to help Featherstream."
He nodded and ran off than returned after a while with a bit of marigold and gave it to the medicine cat. She nodded in thanks and began to rub some on the orangey ginger tom then the black she-cat.
"Blazingspirit, Twilightsky you two are fine. Just rest for a bit."
Then she turned to the last tom mewing, "Are you okay Swiftpaw?"
Swiftpaw nodded and licked a few cuts of his. Featherstream sniffed them and nodded in satisfaction. It was silent for a bit until a yowl caught their attention. The cats ran off towards the sound, which led them near the Riverclan camp. There a dark blue, almost black, she-cat and a tabby tom was standing over a small calico she-cat. She kept nudging the she-kit while the tom was wailing sadly.
"What's going on?" asked Wolfheart.
"T-Tearkit won't wake up!" wailed the tom.
Featherstream walked over to the kit and sniffed her. Then she chewed up some yarrow then opened Tearkit's mouth and made her swallow it. After only a moment she puked up lots water and opened her eyes weakly.
"M-mommy?" she mewed weakly.
"My kit!" the black she-cat cried, and began to lick Tearkit over and over.
The tom purred loudly and nodded in thanks to Featherstream. Tearkit stood up wobbly at first, but managed to keep her balance.
"Thank you for helping Tearkit. Reedkit and I appreciate it."
Then they heard from behind. They turned around to see a cream colored tom with grey patches stood there with a fish in his mouth. He glared at the intruders and walked over to the Queen and dropped the fish in front of her.
"Here you are Dreamfeather." he murmured.
"Thank you Foampaw." she purred, as she began to eat.
Then she stopped and looked at the other cats.
"Would you like to eat? I can spare it."
"You need that for your kits." mewed Featherstream.
She nodded and began to eat, afterwards Tearkit and Reedkit suckled their mom. Sagekit cringed as her stomach growled. Dreamfeather heard her and purred in amusement and flicked her tail as an invite. Sagekit smiled and ran over and began to suckle too.
"I'm going to look for borage for her. Maybe you should hunt." suggested Featherstream, as she walked off.
The cats nodded and ran off to hunt, expect Foampaw and Applefur who decided to stay with the Queen. They returned by sunset with only two scrawny rabbits, one mouse, and a finch. Featherstream came back and gave some borage to Dreamfeather for hr milk. As they shared the little bit of food Moonfrost thought about what Fawnstar said about them being dead by the time prey came back.
Why? Prey always comes back.
She sighed and went back to eating, when something landed on her head. She brushed it off to see it was a leaf. She looked up at the few trees around them so see all the leaves were brown or gold.
A leaf? Then that means…
"Badgerstripe, they prey will return soon right?" asked Rabbitpaw.
Before he could answer Moonfrost interrupted by yowling, "Leaf-bare is soon!"
The others looked at Moonfrost in confusion. Then looked at the trees and flicked their tails in fear. They knew when leaf-bare came food would be harder.
"What will we do for food?" moaned Foampaw.
"We'll worry about that later." mewed Badgerstripe.
The cats sighed and finished eating, and then Moonfrost looked at the Riverclan cats.
"What happened to your camp?"
Foampaw looked down sadly and looked at the area where the camp was.
"When the shake happened the river began to rise, and the camp was flooded. I'm not sure anyone else survived."
The cats looked down, knowing the pain. Then they curled up together and fell asleep.
