But to her luck she saw Smokeblossom make eye contact with their little raft which was slowly starting to fall apart. As a chuck began tearing away, Galaxykit latched onto Spinekit and rolled him away from the part that disappeared. Their boat lurched as its weight became different and the two kits kept floating down stream. Smokeblossom saw down the water way, where another tree had fallen over, laying itself over the newly made River. She ran fast and hard, mid caking into her soaking wet pelt. She reached the fallen tree in time to reach down and attempt to grab the kits, but she saw she wouldn't be able to grab the boat they were in, the kits would have to jump into her paws. Galaxykit watched in horror as it seemed Smokeblossom was running away from them. Then she looked towards their gloomy demise and saw the same gray dappled Angora perched precariously on a fallen tree. She measured the distance, seeing they were to far down. "Hey kit, you gotta wake up okay?" Shes aid lightly shaking him. "Do you want to get warm?" She asked noticing he was cold to the touch. "I'd so you gotta get up and jump into that cats paws okay? Work with me here."

Capable of climbing? CottonFlower can take you to safety of you need it." He fired lots of questions at the cream she-cat at once.

Originally Posted by Darky (Post 335824) "Okay" Nightkit said as she continued to eat the screw. She didn't mind the taste as she continued to eat it. She was really warm as nuzzled Wolfpaw as she let out a little yawn.

Originally Posted by Phoenix Flames (Post 335836) "I'm fine, Clovercarnation. I can climb the rest of the way up from here.", Zenithwhisker said. She perked her ears as she heard the clan deputy, Goldeneye. "Goldeneye wants the clan to follow him to RiverClan.", she meowed. "Come on!", the cream she-cat said, climbing her way up to where the rest of ShadowClan was.

Originally Posted by The Little Robin (Post 335754) “Exactly.” Pinewhisker murmured, his tone softened and quiet, “Things could be much worse than they already are, we’re lucky to be alive, like I mentioned before.” The lean tom-cat was horrible at words, not always having the right thing to say or knowing when to say certain things. He looked down at the smaller cat against him, meeting eyes with her for a silent moment between them. His heart could be heard quickening in pace within his ears and at that moment, the warrior wanted to touch noses with her, but he knew that it was wrong to do such a thing - they had only met this morning and if he did one thing wrong, he’d lose her faster than he could ever imagine. Pinewhisker gave a quiet sigh and looked off at the forest for a moment, lost in thought and wondering about many things - possibilities, fantasies, dreams. The young male felt a shiver run up his spine and his pelt grow warm all over when she nuzzled her face into his fur. She was so close to him that he could feel her light purring vibrating against him and the feeling made his ears grow hot with embarrassment. He could see Needlescar smiling up at him and the mere sight of that made him smile as well, hoping to see more of her smiles and have his ears blessed with her sweet laughter. The brown-furred warrior quietly watched the water as it rushed past them a few tail-lengths away, keeping himself from falling asleep while she rested beside him. His tail flicked back and forth in the green, dampened grass next to them, content in its actions as Pinewhisker was having a mental battle within his head, asking what the right or wrong thing would be in certain situations. He didn’t want to mess up, the male would never forgive himself if he did in the end. The gentle stir of the she-cat against him made the warrior turn his head to look down at Needlescar with warm yellow-hued eyes as she awoke from her partial slumber, blinking up at him with tired, soft eyes. “Hello to you too, beautiful.” Pinewhisker murmured, realizing that he had said this without thinking and a blush formed on his muzzle, making him shyly turn his head from her for a moment. At her words about being ready to head out, he nodded and slowly heaved himself to his paws, hissing in slight discomfort at his badly wounded leg. The male turned to look at her, his ears twitching at her question. “Hmmm..” He wondered, looking around for a second or two before he flicked his head towards the dense woodlands. “I saw some Shadowclan cats heading the way, so I think following the rest of the clan into the forest and away from the flood would be the wisest path for now.” Pinewhisker remarked to Needlescar, blinking at her as she groomed her long fur for a moment and the tom-cat then averted his eyes, growing shy as he limped forward and past her, the she-cat’s sweet scent making his head spin. “Come on, we don’t want to lose the scent trail.”

Originally Posted by NightWarrior4Life (Post 335866) CloverCarnation nodded. "O-oh...okay...ZenithWhisker, tell me the way and I'll lead us there." He was a little startled at the sudden...movement...of things. But he tried to act strong and in control like he had power over the two she-cats, which, he did. Any member of the family knew that she-cats should listen to their mates and male figures and that she-cats were expected to be inferior to toms...and that she-cats couldn't be mentors or really hunt, patrol and fight and that she-cats must be in the nursery taking care of their kits. well, I don't have any kits yet... CottonFlower thought as the three traipsed up the slippery hill. Perhaps I'll become a mother soon...Clover and I were just discussing it before we were told to evacuate...maybe I'll become pregnant when we've found a proper place to settle down...Oh, I hope I'm not letting everyone down by not being in the nursery or having offspring...

Her stuttering was quite bad, and she must've been freezing. The water had soaked through his own coat as well after his swim, and he layed there a little longer, feeling the warm pelt of the warrior beside him. After a moment, though, he got up. "We should get to following the rest of the Clan," he mewed tiredly, "So, what to you say?" He was referring to his earlier offer. He backed up a bit, before shaking his dripping pelt out as not to hit Fallenfeather with even more water, before he returned to his previous spot. The shake hadn't done much, but it had helped ever so slightly.

Looking around for her mother, she nudged her kits awake as quick as she could. "Mother, we've got to get the kits out of here!" She said in panic, knowing that her own mother had a litter as well. Knowing that one certain kit in her own litter wouldn't be able to call out for help in case something happened to her, she picked up Pearlkit by the scuff as gently as she could, holding the almost apprentice aged kit in her teeth. "Come on then.." she mumbled, nudging her kits along as calmly as she could, before walking out the nursery, hopefully with her family behind her. Calling out in the clearing "Ocelotpath! Ocelotpath, can you take Silentkit!" She yelled, trying to find her mate in the flood of cats trying to escape. She didn't know if Silentkit was terrified enough to raise his voice enough to call for help in case he needed it, and thus found herself hoping her mate could take their son like she had taken Pearlkit. Peering behind her, expecting Mothkit, Mintkit, Silentkit and Speckledkit to follow along as she started to dart along with the rest of the clan, terror struck in her eyes. She prayed to StarClan that all the members of her family would survive.

The young tom groggily followed his mother, his eyes half idled and his ears pinned to the side of his head. It was loud, way too loud, he was confused and slightly angry. The spotted kit slipped and fell in the mud, his muzzle and lower body was now caked in the sticky substance. "Mom" he whined "What's happening." he asked as he picked himself up and once again began to trudge forward. When he stepped out his green eyes widened and filled with terror, the clan was falling down. What was happening, his whole world, everything he knew was falling apart around him. Speckledkit let out a whimper and looked around, the cats running away, the falling soil, the collapsing dens, it was hell. The kit looked up at his mother, then looked at his siblings, terror blazed in his leafy green orbs. "m-mama." he whispered, he was frozen solid, his legs wouldn't listen to his commands. He was terrified.

@Lilly
The golden warrior looked down at redraw, then turned his gaze back up to the log, his ears flicking as he listened to the claws scratching against the wet log. He still didn't know what to make of all of this yet, for a second he actually began to believe his step-brothers rantings about Starclans anger with the clans. Was Shadowclan really so unpure that they needed to go through all of this? Wasn't it much? And then his mind did a whole 180. What if Starclan wasn't trying to punish them, what if they were trying to unify two clans, what if they were trying to help the clan not only go through something horrible together to make their bond stronger with one another, maybe their ancestors were trying to strengthen the bonds between other clans as well. The thought of this made the tabby smile for a moment before it was once again replaced with a serious gaze, focusing once again on the task at hand. Blazingsky turned his attention to Redpaw "no...most wont sadly, but we wont worry about that yet." he said as he stepped forward, the pair were now standing directly in front of the log, being pushed and shoved by their classmates as they clambered up the log. "Right now you need to keep a clear mind. You'll walk across the log first, I'll be right behind you, if you fall I'll catch you, I promise." he said. although he knew it wasn't much he felt as though a few words of support would help, after all, he was terrified as well.

@Raywood @Lunacross @Lilly (I'll just mention you twice just in case)

The caramel warrior looked around, his amber gaze blazed with uncertainty. Too much was happening, the noise, too much noise, it made it hard to concentrate. The tom followed the orders he was given, evacuate, nothing less of course. He had helped a few clanmates that required assistance, those who were stuck, kits who were lost, elders, queens. Upon that thought he turned his attention to the loud crashing noise, followed by a few familiar voices. The warrior quickly made his way over to his brothers and step sisters, his orbs danced with worry. "Is everyone okay?" he asked. Bumblebear still wasn't sure what to make of the situation yet, his home was falling apart around him, his siblings were in danger, he wasn't even sure that his mother and father were alive and well. He lashed his tail and looked the trio over, making sure none of them were injured. After making sure no one was hurt he turned his gaze to the camp entrance, or what was left of it "We need to catch up with the rest of the clan." he stated, his fur barely brushing Peachfuzz's. He would admit it, he was terrified, he wasn't sure what to make of it yet. "...Do you think this is Starclans doing?" he asked, his gaze flicking back to Aspenfall, lingering for a moment. Bumblebear wasn't an idiot, he knew what his brothers thought about Starclan, how they felt about gays and homosexuals. His mind was dragged back into the real world when the warrior slipped and almost fell face first into the mud. Focus he told himself.

@Fawn @monfang @Wyldfire

The warrior smiled sweetly at bearblaze and dipped her head quickly "Sheepface." she said. Her tail lashed behind her and she began to pad forward, her face soaked, as well as the rest of her pelt. She had already wasted so much time, groveling in pain that she had waisted precious time for the tabby to escape, she had no time to chat. She quickly made her way to Lambkit and Antlerpaw and licked both their heads, joy danced in her green optics as she watched her kit and the apprentice pad forward, alive and well. "Goldeneye said we had to evacuate to Riverclan." she said aloud, she didn't like giving orders, she didn't like being in the spotlight, she was uncomfortable. Sheepface turned her gaze to Bearblaze and gave him a 'help me' look.

"Do you know if there's a specific place we're going?" she asked, her tone calm despite her internal worry.

[Open]
A ginger and white feline staggered around in the water, trying her best to push through. Like her own mother, the she-cat was heavily pregnant. Ambercrackle pushed through the flood, coughing and water splashed over her from time to time. She had to find her family, she didn't know if she could make it out of Shadowclan territory alone. "Quietdance! Feathermist!" Ambercrackle's golden eyes scanned around the territory for any sign of her parents. Her fur was soaked and along with her belly, that weighed her down quite a lot. "Do not give up Ambercrackle. You're strong." The feline mumbled to herself. She had no mate to help her, the cat who had gotten her pregnant was long gone. And I had thought he loved me.. But Ambercrackle shook her head, not wanting to dote on the thought of Burn at the moment. She had to get out of this water, and head towards Riverclan territory. She had heard Goldebeye's call, faint, but clear in her ears. Now she was trying to follow the sound. She was quite behind her fellow cats, but Ambercrackle would not give up, no matter how tired she became. These kits are my kits. And I will make sure they live.

[Open]
Wolfglare trudged through the water close behind the other Shadowclan cats. He was keeping an eye out for smaller cats who might need his help. But mostly he was looking for his brother, Smokepaw. The large tom moved easily through the water, his large size placing his head well above it. But he wasn't so sure if Smokepaw was okay. He had to find his brother, the younger cat meant everything to Wolfglare. If this flood causes his death... Wolfglare couldn't even finish the thought.

@Constellation
[ I hope Nightvenom's free]
Morningfrost was searching wildly for those close to her. She knew that her dear sisters had mates that could help them, so she knew they'd be safe in the flood. Her brothers could fend for themselves. She didn't need anyone, but someone might need her help. Nightvenom. The name the tom cat popped into Morningfrost's mind. He annoyed her to death, but she still cared for him. Even though she was tough on the outside, she still had a loving heart. And Nightvenom was one of those cats she cared for. The feline just didn't show it. But deep concern lashed through her body. She hadn't seen the tom cat, and she wanted to make sure he was okay. "Nightvenom!!" She yowled, jumping on top of a log that was still sturdy and scanning the are for the large splotched tom.

[ @Doodle @AbsurdJinx ]
Strawberrythorn bounded along, her gaze searching wildly for her two youngest daughters, Flykit and Palekit. They were so young, and Strawberrythorn would not let them die in the flood. "Crimsonblaze! Find your sisters!" She barked to her son behind her. Honeythistle was probably helping his weaker mates, which Strawberry understood. She was a strong she-cat, and she had an older litter of kits that could help her. So she knew she could escape this flood without the help of her mate.
Crimsonblaze pricked his ears at his mother's words, and the tomcat started to search the water for the two young kits. He might be very egotistical, but he loved his family, and he would not let any of them die. "Palekit! Flykit!" His yellow-green eyes were filled with concern as he searched for them.

Palekit recognized her name being called, one of the few things she had learned in the short time she had been in this world. Everything else was a confusion to her: the loud rush of the flood, the howling of the storm, the shouts of nearly every other cat around her. Her bleary eyes tried to search for the shape she had learned to recognize as her mother, though she was still young and her eyesight hadn't yet fully developed. The young she-kit cried out, wishing for help, as she felt more water rushing around her. She wasn't sure where she had wound up, but this was definitely a different place than the nursery. In the panic of the flood, someone had probably tried to move the young cat to a safer place and then left to help others. But the water had risen since then, and this spot was safe no more. There was nothing she could do now but wait for a rescue and pray that it would come.

She purred quietly, nuzzling into his fur. Their conversation was tired and lacking, but it was the best she could do. Needlescar's gaze swept up to the rain, which had caused this flooding and death. She cast a tiny, weak smile in attempts to lighten the mood. Her heart was thudding in her chest as she blushed, noticing how close together they were. She wanted to be closer, but she'd just met him this morning. She couldn't let herself screw this up. Needlescar wouldn't screw this up.. hopefully. The thought of doing something wrong made her nervous. She followed his gaze with hers, ears pricked as she gazed at the forest. The leaves were dripping with rain, soothing her as she let her thoughts wander off. She shivered slightly and turned away from it, trying to find something to distract herself. Needlescar felt awkward so close to him, but he was so warm. Her fur was slowly becoming fluffy and warm again, the water still weighing it down and coating it with cold rain. She gazed up at Pinewhisker, a smile on her maw. He was the only cat who could make her laugh, or smile, whenever he was around. Needlescar gazed at the dirty water flooding their camp, sighing. She'd been able to sleep yet how she was unsure of. It was so loud, threatening now that she was awake. Her tail lashed as she forced herself not to freeze, taking a deep breath. She purred softly, her head leaned onto Pinewhisker as she stretched her limbs, stiff after sleeping. He seemed worried, so she gave him a little reassuring nuzzle. Unsure if it was the wrong move, she sat up and glanced at the water, the tips of her ears feeling hot. She giggled as he glanced down at her, eyes shining with warmth and energy. Something she usually lacked. His words made her blush harder, thankfully hidden by her fur, and she chuckled. "Hello, handsome." She teased, her tail curling around her paws as he realized what he had said, making a full laugh bubble out. It was cute, how he seemed to embarrassed by his slip of words. She stood, leaning against him. "T-To help you balance because of your.. leg!" She explained, shuffling her paws slightly and gazing around. She wanted a safe way out of this place, they were already injured enough for her liking. She turned her gaze to where his was, ears pricking with excitement. "That seems like the best path to follow, better than being lost alone." She mewed, nodding. Swallowing her doubt and nervousness away, Needlescar began to walk with him towards the path, hoping they were correct. She smiled softly at his nervousness, following before she shortly was by his side. It felt more.. nice than awkwardly trailing behind him. He seemed shyer, and Needlescar's ear-tips again grew hot. 'Why do I feel like this?' She thought, nodding. "R-Right!"

Thistlefur was licking his thick gray coat, trying to get all the water out.
It was a relief to finally sit down. He looked down disdainfully at the muddy ground. He sighed and looked around at ShadowClan. Even now, they were still helping each other. That was what he loved about his clan. Every cat would support their clanmate in any way they could. As far as he knew, each of his clanmates was loyal to ShadowClan and ShadowClan alone. Speaking of his clanmates, he looked around trying to spot Ivybreeze. A jolt of fear went through his body from his ears to his tail tip. Where was his sister?! He gulped. Last he had seen, she was heading out with the rest of the clan. He looked around for Ravenflight, her mate. He was almost always with her. "Ravenflight!" He called,
jumping up as he shook the mud from his fur.

Elmpaw knew Gingerpaw had froze up, but he didn't want to embarrass her so he didn't mention it he chuckled at Dungpaw,"Ya know, Dungpaw most cats use there tongue rather than a stick." Dungpaw paused,"Well the mud tastes nasty, I know I'm usually in the ' most cats ' group, but not on this when it tastes bad." Elmpaw burst into loud raucous laughter. Dungpaw glanced at him giving him the look. Elmpaw said," Not you, it was the squirrels playing tag." Dungpaw shrugged it off not even caring to notice that there were no squirrels around.
