Things were getting out of hand very quickly, and the kits were panicked. Her heart was warmed at the sight of Citrusflower telling the young ones a story to keep them calm. But they had to move.

"Okay, I'm gonna make the call. Queens, kits, we're going to evacuate the camp. There's a way out just behind the nursery. I want everybody to go out that way and wait for me, okay? We can go to the Waterbarn. We'll be safe there." She looked at all the kits, and their frightened mothers. She would do all she could to keep them safe.

@SilentLamb (Can Honeypaw give him a big scar before he goes out?)

“Nursery! I am almost a warrior!” He spun around and felt the claws shred him. He was losing so much blood. He started to slump down, but if he was going to go he might as well give him a huge scar. He put all his last energy and slashed a huge paw against his face. Then he slumped to the ground, defeated. He sighed, knowing that he might die and was grateful to help his Clan.

{Open to one Shadowclan warrior/apprentice. Minor wounds only please.}

Fallenheart dashed into the clearing, looking around for some RiverClan cat to chase away. He really didn't like fighting. ShadowClan had gotten into too many raids already. The black warrior spotted another black cat and ran towards it, aiming to slash along its flank.

He kept his distance like before, since it seemed to be working. He threw out his paw and blocked the other slashes. He aimed one of his claws towards his forehead. This cat was not going to give up and so he wasn't either. He was going to show his mentor that he could take care of himself.

The white apprentice was only able to get one slash in. Thunderpaw had managed to block the rest of them. Frostpaw ran towards the RiverClan cat, batting away the paw aimed at his forehead. For his first serious battle, he thought he doing pretty well, actually. The apprentice backed up again, then lauched himself at Thunderpaw, attempting to knock the other cat off balance.

She was telling at the top of her lungs from the nursery entrance.

(Open for a ShadowClan cat to tell her to get back or a RiverClan cat to hear her.)

Flyfur whipped her head around and stalked up to the kit. "Get to your nursery before you get run over!" She hissed, hoping she would leave before she got hurt. She immediately darted and launched herself at the nearest warrior.

@Alexcentri (haven't read through everything so if Cinderstripe has already been attacked, whoops!)

[Fawn]

Daintybird had been in the middle of a well-deserved nap--mothering was so tiring--when the pounding of pawsteps and yowls of felines interrupted. Although she tried to go back to sleep, the stinky fish ruckus outside was beginning to get on her nerves, and she peeked out of the nursery with her mouth open, ready to tell them to shut up or face the consequences. They were disrupting her beauty sleep! But when she saw the bloody scene, she ducked back inside to settle on top of Heatherkit. That should keep her future as a queen safe; Daintybird wasn't worried about her safety since she was an adept fighter, but she did like this new duty-less life in which she didn't have to rush onto the battlefield.

This masterful plan was interrupted when some old crumbly hag came in to tell them they were evacuating. Daintybird stared at her, unamused, before getting up to relent. It was hard to believe this thing spawned Icestar. "Alright you," she plucked Heatherkit, words muffled from her full mouth, "we're going on a journey to get away from those heathens."

Goosepaw fell back, huffing. His whole body was shaking as he glowered down at Bloodtooth. "Your Clan took away my home," he snarled. "And now you've taken away half of my sight. I should kill you right here, right now!" He placed a paw on the warrior's neck, almost stomping down hard.
But he paused. And he pulled his paw away. And he took a step back. This cat was no longer a threat.

Citrusflower looked up at her mother with a dip of her head. "You get these kits out of here. I gotta find Falconkit.", she meowed. Without waiting for an answer the forever queen went out into the battle. "Falconkit! Where are you!", she called in a panic. The tortoishell she-cat scented all of the scents and it made her overwelmed, but she was going to find her daughter. She kept to the shadows to try and not be seen. "Falconkit!", Citrusflower called again.

Falconkit heard Owlfeather’s command and rushed back in the nursery. This was a way she could help!. “I will help protect us! Let’s go! I can help any other frightened kits!” She saw Citrusflower looking for her. “Citrusflower! I ran back in here! I will help protect all of us!”

Whiskernose darted foward as Bloodtooth crumpled to the ground and began dragging him away from the apprentice, anger coursing through him. He blinded an apprentice!
But he should be focusing on his own clanmates, so he pulled the warrior to an out of the way spot to safety and glared about, legs itching to launch at somecat, ignoring the stinging of his old wounds.

Lionstar. Immediately, insurmountable rage filled her heart, and she wanted nothing more than to see that golden nuisance die.

Careful not to make the same mistake as last time, she slunk out of her den, keeping to the shadows as much as possible, as she'd done with Duskstar. Her eyes scanned the clearing in cold calculation, searching through the sea of fur for the cat she was looking for. When she spotted him, she leapt, charging at him from behind at full speed. Her claws were outstretched, aiming to land a nasty gash to his flank. She would not lose this.

@BILL.

Lionstar was on edge, keeping an eye on his surroundings as he searched for the vile creature formally (hopefully formerly, soon) known as Icestar.

And he glimpsed her out of the corner of his eye as she lunged like a demon out of shadows. Instantly Lionstar sprang to a side to dodge her-- he didn't completely miss her attack as claws grazed his side, but he was certain it wasn't as bad as it could be. "Is that the best you can do, sugar?"

Lionstar wasn't going to wait for an answer, springing up with the intent to bounce off Icestar's head before he'd land beside her, spinning on his paws to slash at her side.
