ShadowClan Evacuation

I can see that you’re in pain.”

"I guess so." Crowhawk managed a smile at her words. "And the same implies for me. I make sure you don't get killed either." It was good they both had each other in his eyes. He probably would be at the bottom of this flood had it not been for her. Now they are here, struggling to get away from the flood, pushing each other onwards. He looked in the direction of where they were going, the high ground. They could do this. They could make it. He shook his head at her offer. "I'll be fine." He told her. She needed all her strength, there was no use using on him. "Go on." He told her pointing in the direction he assumed they were going. "I'll be right behind you."

Blackfrost gave her mate a softened smile, nuzzling him once more now that she knew that they were out of harm’s way once more. “We both have each other’s backs.” She purred, “Until the end of time, never forget that.” The long-furred warrior gave a small sigh, looking out at the clan that was growing farther and farther away from them and she blinked at Crowhawk when he refused her offer of helping him, but she chose not to argue and nodded to his words, licking his muzzle with a little purr before stepping forward and walking through the forest, following the scent-trail of their fellow Shadowclan members as they fled danger that had struck in their own home.

Owlswoop was panting slightly once he had reached a rock, and he looked around him, seeing other cats silhouettes, but too afraid to move towards any of them. So, instead the tom just looked around him, the falling rain impacting his vision greatly. Why did this happen..? He couldn't help gut wonder as he squinted. A part of the dark tabby tom knew that it was just weather, and it was the most logical thing.
But, on the other paw, another part of him thought for some, maybe weird reason, that it actually might of meant something. He sighed, frowning. He hated getting his whole pelt wet. Well. I can't do anything about it now.

"I won't ever forget it." He said. "Even though I'm a forgetful bee-brain." He said purring as she licked his muzzle. This was helping him get his mind off of both the pain and the clan camp that was destroyed by a terrible flood. Crowhawk, though he was in pain, stayed next to and kept an even pace with Blackfrost. "Where will we stay now?" He asked her being serious and more so sounding like a scared kit. For his whole life, that was his home, and now that got taken away from him, he didn't know where to go, wherever they end up staying.

The broken molly walked with a limp but was obviously pushing to keep going. Marshfur's mind was completely blank, she wasn't thinking of just trying to put one foot in front of the other, she wasn't thinking about her family, she was just completely empty, hollow. She couldn't even feel her feet moving in front of one another, more or less just feeling the pain of the scraps on her ankles and paw pads. That's the only way she knew she was moving. She tried to think, but she couldn't, just crawling up the hill, barely freeing herself from the cold grip the icy blackness had on her, somehow making it up the hill before it did before the water did. She was so exhausted, she wanted to just pass out, she was basically half awake on her feet. Marshfur swayed and stumbled forward, barely able to keep filling her lungs with air. She almost fell a few times, but she kept going, some weird force of will egging her on, when only a moment ago it had wanted her to stand in the violent torrents of water and let it eat her whole like a snake that caught its prey.

Looking towards the mini fresh kill pile Daypaw knew what they had to do. Leaning over Lambkit and grabbing them by the scruff, and shifting so the kit could lay on their back. They knew Lambkit couldnt walk on his own, much less walk through water and up a hill. "Were evacuating, Im going to take you to safety to above ground level where you wont get hurt." they replied calmly. Daypaw dealt with this stuff in their nightmares on a daily basis, they knew how this was going to play out. If Daypaw didnt get Lambkit and the other patients in their den out, they would be washed away with the rest of Shadowclan. They grabbed a bid from the freshkill pile and made there way out of the den. Cats were screeching for help. the wind and the rain blew against Daypaws fur. They had grabbed the freshkill for Lambkit once at the top. He needed to eat something in order to live. They knew about the toms anxiety so they would try to calm them. "Try to close your eyes and listen to my voice until were at the top."

Lambkit whimpered, clenching his eyes shut. "Wait! Mama!" He cried, searching frantically for the white and black molly. But thunder roared and the cries for help were scaring him. He saw a warrior slipping in the mud, no one stopping to help. His eyes widened in fear as he buried his head in Daypaw's fur. "Daypaw, I'm scared..." He whispered, tears falling from his eyes, shivering as the mixture of rain and wind, plus having near no meat on his bines, began to freeze him. He clung tightly to the enby, eyes shut tightly. He wanted his mom, his family, he wanted this to be some horrible dream. Not real... He thought helplessly. But he knew. He knew it was all real. He felt hot tears fall from his eyes, falling onto Daypaw's pelt. Would he ever be safe? Would he die? He was so scared, amd the only comfort was Daypaw. He did not dare open his eyes as they carried him up the hill. He was so scared, he didn't know what else to do.

"Yes yes, I'll be fine," Lucky meowed reassuringly to the warrior. "Thank you so much. Go on and help anyone else who needs it if you still have strength to spare. Daypaw worries, but honestly, I'll be ok. They already put me back together once," she added, seeing other cats swarming upward and wishing she could do something to help.

They normally never gave little words of praises like that. Looking up towards Lucky Daypaws ears twitched,"Lucky, I'll meet you at the top of the hill once I get all of my other patients, okay? Ebony will take care of you till then." It was rare, but Daypaw actually smiled. Despite the cold rain crashing into them, despite the loud thunder above them. It was the only bit of comfort they could give. They rushed down back to the medcat den, eyes on any other cats they needed to get out.

Lucky felt fear grip her pelt knowing she'd be in the company of strangers, but fought hard not to let this show knowing that the medicine cat had other cats to look after. "Of course. Go on. Ebonymist has this covered, don't you, brave warrior," she said to the cat who bore her.

Looking around her at the water splashing up against the rocks and other ShadowClan cats fleeing the camp, the the bengal molly, Spottedfern, knew she had to save her kits from a terrible end, and, as a mother, would fight to make them live. Spottedfern grabbed her kit by the scruff and swung the precious fur bundle onto her back. Looking around, she saw that time was running out, the floodwaters slowly rising. She grabbed her other kit by the soft neck fur and mumbled through a mouthful of fur, "Dig your claws in, Honeykit." She braced herself for thorn sharp claws that would dig into her back at her order. The kit in her jaws was Lynxkit, a tufty eared cat that would grow to be a formidable fighter, with her large paws and sharp teeth. But the mother wouldn't underestimate Honeykit, she too was quick and agile. Spottedfern was weighed down by the water soaking her long fur and her kits. But the bengal she-cat refused to give up, and kept swimming, her strong paws wading through the water. RiverClan does this everyday! The she-cat thought in shock. Despite the circumstances, though, she curled her lip at the thought of the sleek-furred RiverClan warriors who thought eating fish was normal.

Daypaw glanced at Morningpath. He was being hypocritical. Of course Daypaw knew what it was like to not be able to save a cat, they were a medcat of all things. They watched their father die infront of them. They knew. They pushed past that for right now though, instead staying at Marshfurs side and having her lean on their shoulder for support if needed. She looked like a dead girl walking. Daypaw couldnt read her expression at all, and it kind of scared the enby for a second. They were almost up the hill. Their shoulders heaved, they were so tired. They wanted to close their eyes and passout. They wanted to drop and slide down into the dark muddy water to rest. But something stopped them, and that was the top of the hill.

Daypaws heart lurched. They didnt know where the kits mother was, they didnt even know their name. For all Daypaw knew Lambkit didnt have family. "It'll be okay Lambkit, we just have to make it up this hill, okay?" They werent the best at comforting cats, especially kits, but they came up with words on the spot. "When we get to the top..uh.." they paused, feeling the feathers still in their mouth,"we'll share this bird together, I'll dry you off and we'll eat something. Just think about that right now." They dug their claws into the muddy hil as they climbed up. Rain poured down over them, they shivered slightly. Their fur clung close to them, they could barely see the top of the hill with all of this rain. It seemed foggy almost, a grey mist that blocked everything in view. It was loud, the constant ringing of Thunder and rain in the enbys ears it made them want to cover them. But they stood strong, despite how tired they were. They were sleep deprived, eyes heavy as they blinked away the water in their eyes. Their shouldered heaved as they pulled themselves upwards,giving out shaky breaths. But they stood tall. They would not let Starclan take their life, torment them again and their clan and win. They took another step upwards.
