The Shaking
I am hunting in the forest, stalking a vole. All of a sudden the air gets thick and hot and sticky. I look up. The sky turns black and covers the sky completely. Rivers of fire and hot, red sticky goo come rushing down the hills setting fire to trees and bushes, coming towards me. I panic and try to run the other way, but I can't move my legs. The ground shakes violently and I fall down. More of the fire rushes down the hills. I am stuck. The fire engulfs me and the rivers of red cover me. I start to drown and I feel hot all over. I paw for the surface, for air.
"Sun, Sun wake up Sun." everything goes black and I open my eyes. Rain is standing over me. "You woke me up, are you okay, you seem to have been having a night mare."
"No, I am fine" I tell him.
"Okay, I'm going back to sleep." Rain said.
He sat down in his nest and sighed and closed his eyes. I yawned and closed my eyes and pretend to sleep until sunrise. I don't want to have the dream again.
"Sun, can you grab that moss ball for me?" Asked Rain. "We are going to the spring to collect some water."
"Do I have to?" I asked.
"You should go on and follow Rain." Leaf said.
Irritated, I tucked the moss under my chin and followed Rain. We walked through the forest until we reached the bottom of the mountain. There did not deem to be any trees on the mountain top. That seemed really weird. There was a pool of water by the bottom of mountain. The water was boiling and steaming, it was so foggy you could barely see in front of you. All of a sudden the ground starting shaking violently Rain stumbled and accidently got his paw in the water. It sizzled, I watched in horror as his fur on his paw singed and burned away. Rain quickly drew it out and fell on the ground. His paw was furless and red. The shaking stopped, Rain tried to stand up but unsuccessfully fell back down. He stood up again and leaned on me. We walked back to the Den, Rain limped the whole way. He winced whenever his paw touched the ground.
