Roseblaze looked down at the tom-kit. "I think that StarClan wouldn't do something like this to us. They're our ancestors, and they care about us. Besides, what have we done wrong?" she replied, licking the kit's ears in comfort. "We'll get through this. If I know one thing, it's that ShadowClan is strong, and we've got each other. So don't worry, okay?" she smiled at Dewkit before looking up at Sunmist. "Where are we going?" she murmured, making sure Dewkit didn't hear.

(Sorry, got to go. Bye!)

(It's fine! I have someone wanting to rp with Sunmist anyways, so I'm going to make an excuse for him to leave haha xD)

Sunmist smiled at the two as his thoughts seemed to be echoed by Roseblaze. His ear flicked at the molly's question, one he didn't have a full answer to yet. He had been left behind after their deputy left, as he wanted to make sure every cat was okay. But that resulted in the tom not hearing any directions that were given, if any. He just knew they had to get away from this water, and now. He made sure to keep his voice hushed as he answered Roseblaze so the kit besides them wouldn't hear. "I don't know," he admitted. "Just anywhere away from the water. Higher ground, somewhere safer..." His voice trailed off as he gave yet another alert sweep of their surroundings- the water was still climbing at an alarming rate.

Then, the tom swore he heard some quiet mewling of yet another kit. He stopped his walking and looked around, trying to find the source of the noise. But the kit seemed farther off, and he couldn't catch sight of them. Worried, he looked over at the two cats with him. "Roseblaze," he gave a pause to make sure he had her name correct, "I hear another cat in need. I... well, I can't leave them behind." He lowered his voice so as not to worry Dewkit, he didn't want the tom-kit hearing the entire problem. "They sound like a kit. I'm going to go find where they are, get him to safety, okay?" He questioned, referring to the kit standing right next to them. He gave her a moment to agree, but another cry had him even more nervous- he needed to get to that kit now. "I'll be okay, don't worry about me!" His voice carried over the tom's shoulder as he sprinted as quickly as possible through the mud.

His pale maine coon tortioshell coat was rapidly Darkening with the torrenting rain, his thick pelt dragging him down in the weather. He watched, his pounding heartbeat vibrating in his ears and rain stinging his eyes, as the whole clan of ShadowClan evacuated the camp. Shadekit mewled helplessly as more water flooded in to chill him to the bone, he was shivering with the sharp picks of rain pelting his back. His fur was splayed to his sides and head, and his eyes were wide in fear and she stumbled forward in the rain. Shadekit still had two months to go until he was an apprentice, so his age was a giant disadvantage. Due to his small size, his legs stumbled in the splashing puddles and he couldn't run fluently enough in good weather, let alone rain where he couldn't see five tail-lengths ahead of him.

More fear flooded through with the entering water, and soon enough he was trembling as he picked the driest paths in between the rushing water. Surely, he would get swept away. Even though he hated to admit it, Shadekit wanted, no, [I]needed[I] help. Otherwise, the water would pick him up as if he was a feather. Where would he end up? Even if he got lucky and was deposited in the forest, he would have no idea where he ended up, or couldn't even hunt to feed himself. Shadekit took a step forward, and didn't see how deep the water was; he stepped in it, his ankle giving off a flare of pain. With the sudden drop, he staggered forward and landed on his chest and chin. With a small, helpless little wail, he pushed himself up with his paws. Only, his left ankle throbbed again as he put pressure on it, so fell again, his head newly soaked and plastered to his tiny frame. Trying again, Shadekit stood up on three paws, and hopped forward with his left paw tucked into his chest like he was carrying something. He stumbled a few times before he tested his ankle again. Yes, it hurt to walk on, but It seemed to be incredibly minor. Shadekit went on, tail wildly swinging for balance as he slowly limped after his Clan, fear swimming in the tears in his eyes. He had to get out of here.

Sunmist ran as quickly as he could towards the source of the noise, but the mud sucking at his paws caused him to stumble often. With how wet everything was, it was hard not to slip on the ground. The tom wound up having to slow his pace so he wouldn't injure himself; he needed to get to the kit fast but would be of no use if he was hurt. The rain seemed to batter down harder on the tabby's face, hurting his eyes and he narrowed them against the storm. As he moved on, he kept his ears alert for any more noises from the kit he swore he had heard. "Hello?" He called out loudly, just as a gust of wind almost knocked him off his feet- imagine what that wind would have done to a little kitten? He pushed on, more determined to bring the young cat to safety.

"It's okay, I'm here to bring you to a safer place," Sunmist shouted again, not worried about bringing the wrong sort of attention. Any creature would be stupid to pick a fight in this weather; they would both die if that was the case. Finally, the orange cat sighted a small shape stumbling around. His heart clenched as he noticed the poor thing was limping and probably injured. His approach was slower than his frantic walking before as he didn't want to scare the tom-kit. "Hey there little one," he called out in a softer, friendlier one. "I'm Sunmist, you don't need to be scared of me. Come on now, I'll get you somewhere safe to have that leg looked at." He gestured to the kit with his tail, urging him to come closer to the larger cat. Sunmist frowned as he watched the kit stumble yet again- their walking would be slowed with this. "Would you be okay with me carrying you? It'd be better for your leg, and for us to move out of here quicker," he explained while his gaze raked over the gathering floods. They needed to get a move on quick.

Pearlstream purred. "I'm sure you would." If Pearlstream were herself, she might have seen regret clouding the molly's eyes. But she wasn't. She was to happy about Daturakit, and to proud of Echoskip. It clouded her mind from thinking of anything else.

Amberstorm nodded and smiled. "We'll be there soon. Then you can rest before we leave." Cautiously, Amberstorm led the group toward the rise, making periodic checks to make sure everyone was together. It wasn't long before they reached the foot of the slope. However, it was much steeper than it had looked from afar, and even though the slope wasn't high enough to harm a grown cat, if the kits took a tumble down it could lead to serious injury. She studied the rise warily, then turned to Whitestep and her kits. "This looks a bit dangerous for the kits. Would you mind if we carried them up?"

Whitestep picked up Owlkit and Hollykit in response. She nodded with a grateful look in her eyes. "Put me down Mom! I can make it," Owlkit protested. Whitestep grunted a 'No' and walked up the steep hill. Rain battered her fur, but sheer love for her kits kept her going. Hollykit parted his jaws in a whine, but shut them from a flash of lightning. Whitestep glanced back at Amberstorm and Berrykit and Willowkit. The identical kits pressed themselves to the ground in fear of the loud thunder that crashed overhead like a dozen monsters rumbling on a Thunderpath. Even Owlkit whimpered slightly. Whitestep gave the two kits in her jaws a reassurring, rumbling purr. Concern filled her mind, however. Would they really make it out of the storm alive? Whitestep grunted to herself. We'll make it, she reassured herself. Setting down the two kits she called back to Amberstorm. "I'm going to head farther up the hill, can you manage?"

Daypaw settled the warrior on their back. They were a small apprentice, smaller then others but they kept a grip on the tom. Making their way out of the den there was nothing but chaos,rain pouring over head. They trotted to the mudslide that was the hill; there only way up to safety. They took a large leap and dug their claws into the grass, shifting to make sure the warrior was still stable on their back.

The late apprentice matched his brother step for step and before they knew it they had just about reached the top of the hill. Rockkit stopped for a moment and looked up at the sky, stormy and dull. "Depite this cruel flood they have given us the task of surviving, I feel StarClan Doesn't want to hurt us. They may just want to teach us a lesson...or perhaps get us to makeup with enemies? I'm not sure...but I feel they may be generous and decide not to kill many this time..." the kit sighed. Rockkit, despite having the suffix "'kit", Rockkit was apprentice age if not slightly older. He just hasn't found the right mentor for him yet. But that was okay. "Lead us to where your shelter is, Daypaw." Wolfpaw commanded, not meaning to sound so bossy.

Daypaw lead the way to the hill. It was muddy, paw prints glistened but soon were washed away by the rain. They dug their claws intot he grass to keep a grip, starting to lead their way up the hill. It was the only way to safety. At the mention of Starclan it made Daypaws tail twitch and bite down on the herbs harder in their mouth,"Starclan was the cause of this, taking innocent lives when uneeded just for some truce." Daypaw saw life and death every single day, whether it was from sickness or injuries. But this..this was slaughter.

Avocetpaw let out a sharp yelp as their paw hit a sharp rock; they felt the pad split, the toughened black skin left open to the freezing water and mud. But they didn't stop moving, tucking up the back paw and hobbling forward on three legs. Avocetpaw watched the ground carefully, assuring they wouldn't ruin another foot. Their ears flattened, and they whimpered quietly, the pain sharp and jarring. But, they raced forward, eyes locked towards the horizon, where RiverClan would be waiting.

Daypaw was at the entrance of their den, watching Shadowclans ruins fall apart before them. Everything seemed so loud and quiet at the same time. The screeches of cats and cries seemed to be blocked out by the loud thunder and rain pouring above them, making Daypaws fur cling to their small frame. They scanned for any cat that looked like they had an injury or needed help. They werent a Riverclan cat,but theyd try their best. Looking towards where the apprentices dens were they saw another cat. They looked like they were struggling with their paw to even walk. Daypaw launched themselves out into the clearing, large splashes cascading under their paws at they ran. The clearing made them stumble for a moment, but they dig their claws into the ground to keep steady. Once reaching to the apprentice they were still a little bit far, the medcats voice boom against the thunder,"Lean forward and I'll grab your scruff!"

"You don't happen to share my parent's views, do you?" Echoskip suddenly asked, looking up at Pearlstream. Even though she wasn't Honeythistle's mate anymore, Echoskip couldn't help but feel... wary about her thoughts.

(Honey is Polyromantic, Pearl is still his mate, no matter what the Family tree says)
Pearlstream looked up in surprise. "I would like to be a forever queen." the molly stated. "Though I don't really share their views. Why do you ask?" Pearlstream didn't understand why Echoskip would ask her that. Also about her family.

"Truce? What, with our enemies? So I was there! Yes!" Rockkit got a little too excited and probably have Daypaw the wrong impression. "There has to be a good reason...like, a better reason...I mean yeah I can see why they'd want us to get along with everyone but killing isn't the way to do it...either way, we can survive this...when we work together Shadowclan is strong...stronger...we work as one..."
"I guess..." His brother replied "But you're not close to StarClan like Daypaw and I are...I just have...feelings...that there is an answer out there somewhere. Have hope Daypaw...the sun will shine again soon enough..." The grey kit assured the apprentice. Although Daypaw still looked grim.

(Okay, I was confused xD)

"... I'm just... worried about them finding out about Moonsplash and I." She murmured, scuffing her paw against the ground. "With how strongly they're against homosexuality, I feel that they'd disown me. That's why Tempestjay is always around... he's my cover. If they think he's my mate, then they'll just think that Moonsplash and I are friends." Echoskip sighed, tucking her paws in and flattening her ears.

(I'm on mobile so I'm sorry if there's typos)
Shadekit stumbled again, trying to be light in his left paw. It wasn't working well, the rain pelted his down and water kept running into his eyes, causing him to squint and blink and not watch where he put his paws. He stumbled about, splashing down in a pooling puddle of water. Shadekit narrowed his eyes, he was determined to evacuate if no one wanted to help aid him. He was sure his ankle was fine, but right now he really wanted a medicine Cat or someone to give him the final okay. The rain wasn't helping his condition, as well as soaked fur and stumbling steps, he thought the rain would cool the slight throb in it, however it only shot it with harsh water bullets, like small bees we're falling from the sky.

His ears desperately perked when he heard the faintest of noises, some talking, and calling out to see if someone was there. Shadekit opened his mouth to call back, and heard more noise. He clung to the ground with his thornlike claws as a gust of wind threatened to make him tumble like a bush across the camp. Shadekit couldn't make out the muffled sentence called out to him because of the roaring rain and whirlwind of air around him. Then he saw it, an orange tabby cat coming towards him. Shadekit closed his eyes in relief, with the other cats closeness and and the act that he was near another cat that looked like he would seemingly help, he found the most safety he had felt since the first raindrop fell on the camp.

Shadekit didn't reply at first, he was too much in shock and focusing on not shivering next to the warrior beside him. Shadekit let out a little squeak of dismay, did this cat-Sunmist, think Shadekit was scared of him?He swallowed, through his eyes Shadekit must look like a little coward compared to the braving apprentices and warriors fighting through the storm without assistance.His shoulder loosened with relief as Submist offered him help to find a safer place. He could barely hear the Tom through the Walls of the wind, he figured he shouldn't talk, his squeaky and high-pitched voice would be drowned out in this weather. In response, Shadekit took a staggered step towards the larger cat, feeling his fear melt away layer by layer. At the cats next question, he nodded vigorously, all he wanted to do is get somewhere safe, even though Submist probably couldn't hear him, Shadekit spoke anyways "thank you."

They blinked in surprise as they heard the medicine cat adressing them, specifically. They looked up at them, eyes bleary from rain, the world hazy. Obediently, Avocetpaw tilted forward, three paws scrabbling awkwardly to keep balance. But, they slid in the unstable mud; they fell harshly onto one side, injured paw pinned under them. A yelp was elicited at this, the cut compressed so that mud was trapped inside, the gritty detritus causing further irritation and pain. They winced, face contorting in a look of sheer agony. But, Avocetpaw stumbled back to their feet, at this point using the injured paw. But they couldn't put weight on it for long; they leaned back towards Daypaw, hoping for some sort of assistance.
