Chapter 31

Alright! I don't have anything to say…except that I'll be switching POV's between the Star Trio. Ciao babes! –Majesty

"Run! Just run! RUN!"

Whiskershadow bolted through the forest, trying to escape the screams of his clan-mates. "Skyflower?! Moonfire? Pouncer?! VITAPOOL?!" He cried, but his voice was nothing over the metallic screams. Suddenly one Sanguis cat tackled him, digging her sharp claws into Whiskershadow's flank.

He grabbed the she-cat's scruff and tried to throw her off, but her weight was too much, and he fell over. "Get off of him!" Skyflower growled, attacking the Sanguis she-cat.

Skyflower started to claw her, drawing blood. The cat yowled out in pain and rushed away. "Are you alright? Did she hurt you?"

Whiskershadow nodded, leaning on her shoulder for support. "We need to find Moonfire, and her kits," he wheezed. Skyflower nodded and started running towards the tunnel. Near the entrance, Thornwhisker laid there motionless. "No! Thornwhisker!"

Whiskershadow rushed and felt the tom…no heartbeat. I'm so sorry young warrior, Starclan bless. I'll come back and bury you, I promise. The ran into the nursery where Moonfire was carrying Shellkit, while Nightkit squealed in terror. Foxflame had her own kits in her jaws, Barkkit clinging to her back.

"Run! Run!" Foxflame cried. Skyflower scooped up the black kit and started to run.

"Where's Regnantstorm?" Moonfire wailed.

"I don't know! He'll be fine, just run!" Whiskershadow snapped, dragging his sister away. A fire was starting to arise, choking them with smoke. Suddenly Zeldastar appeared behind them.

Trying to see through the heavy smoke, their leader coughed. "We've been beaten, we must find shelter," she coughed. Skyflower tripped on a root, sending Nightkit sprawling.

"Nightkit!" Shellkit wailed. Moonfire tried to calm her daughter as Zeldastar dove into the flames and smoke to grad the kit. The tortoiseshell appeared moments later, black kit dangling in her jaws.

"Run to the bank! I'm right behind you!" As they ran, they passed so many bodies. Sanguis cat's, monster's, their clan-mates.

Suddenly Zeldastar was grabbed by something. Whiskershadow ran back to help her, but she pawed him away. "Run, Whiskershadow. Take care of your sister, I'll find you soon," she wheezed, eyes misty from the smoke. He directed his midnight eye to Nightkit, who was clinging to Zeldastar.

The leader noticed, and pulled him close. He'll be safer with her than with me. "He will be safer with me," she said, practically reading his expression.

"Are you sure, he needs his-" his sentence was cut off by a tree branch falling next to him, trapping Zeldastar.

"Run now! He will be safe with me!" she growled. Whiskershadow hesitated, until another branch fell, narrowly missing him. "RUN!"

…

Smoke clouding her vision, Skyflower yowled out for help. Moonfire was already on the bank, Whiskershadow close behind her. "Timberfrost?!" She cried, choking on smoke. Suddenly her vison blurred, and the light gray she-cat swayed on her paws. A strong pair of jaws caught her and started to swim to the bank. Skyflower looked up to the icy blue eyes of mate.

"I've got you," he cooed. "And I'll never let go," those were the last words she heard before the smoke took control of her lungs, and her eyes closed.

…

"Skyflower? Skyflower wake up!" Moonfire screeched into her sister's ear. She and her siblings had made it to the bank. When Moonfire saw Timberfrost carrying her unconscious sister across the river, Moonfire yowled to her brother.

"She'll be alright," her brother wheezed. Timberfrost still refused to leave his mate's side. Suddenly three mattered shapes of bloodied fur appeared on the bank. Poolwing, Vitapool, and Midnightfang stumbled onto the bank.

"VITAPOOL!" Whiskershadow cried, tackling the white she-cat, and nuzzling her. His purrs were so loud, Moonfire felt the vibrations in the marshy earth. "My love, did someone harm you?"

Vitapool dizzily nodded, she smiled as her mate nuzzled and cleaning her fur. "I love you," she whispered, burying her nose into his black fur. Moonfire turned away, unable to bear the fact that Nightkit, Sunpelt, and Regnantstorm were somewhere away from her. Starclan protect my family.

…

Later that night, Whiskershadow and his group watched as the fire died down, and the screams lessened. The monsters started to retreat somewhere into a fiery pit, except for one. It had a weird two-leg object in it's strange paws. Until finally, the weird monster left with it's strange object.

Lightningfall, Fluffytail, Grayfur, Bumblecloud, Cinderblaze, and Reedfur were the only cats that found them, battered and bloodied. "Everyone must have fled, we are going to have to find them," Fluffytail cried, collapsing in agony form her wounds.

"We'll find them soon," Moonfire declared. "We're all hurt, and weak. We will stay on tis bank until our strength is up!" Yowls of protest rose up, making Moonfire growl. "If any of you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it," she snapped.

"Why don't we actually find our clan-mates, are you even loyal enough to go look for them?" Lightningfall challenged. Moonfire bristled, eyes blazing.

"Loyal enough? LOYAL ENOUGH?! MY MATE AND KIST ARE OUT THERE! AND YOU THINK I'M NOT LOYAL ENOUGH TO GO FIND THEM?! I'm trying to make sure you all don't get killed in the process!" She snarled. Lightningfall stepped back, taken by her words. Wow.

A star, shining the brightest in the sky, shone over Moonfire's head, lighting up her entire pelt. Starclan what are you trying to tell me?

OK SO OMG! WHO THINKS I SHOULD DO A NIGHTFALL CHAPTER NEXT?! DOES ANYONE SENSE THE TENSION BETWEEN KEEPER AND POUNCER?! WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NEXT?! ANYONE ELSE THINK I'M A SPAZ? IF YOU ANSWERE YES…THAN YOU'RE RIGHT! OK BYE BYE! –MAJESTY OUT
