Wadekit and Mellowkit belong to @Luckyy- Embersnake, Wolfshard, and Eagle'talon belong to @RingingBells Sunpaw and Birdflower belong to me Credits to Warriors --> Story <-- Wolfshard woke up to a strange smell. It lingered in the air, but she couldn't quite name it. She was one of the best trackers in ThunderClan, but even that didnt help with the strange scent. She stretched herself, her gray fur catching the light. She got up and went to go get something to eat. The heat hit her like a monster on the Thunderpath. It must have been sunhigh, but Wolfshard didn't worry about sleeping in. It was so hot. She saw Frostfur in the nursery, hiding in the shade, with Mellowkit and Wadekit, the two kits Graystripe and Sandstorm had found. Wolfshard walked backwards into the shade. She saw Tigerclaw leap over from another patch of shade near the medicine den. "No patrols, Wolfshard." He said, in a low voice. "Sandstorm and Birdflower both went out, and now they have heat sickness." "Heat sickness?" Wolfshard tilted her head, confused. "Spottedleaf says it happens sometimes in the hottest Greenleaf. It makes your head hurt and your skin burn." Tigerclaw hissed. "It's keeping the prey hidden." Wolfshard nodded. "If there's anything I can do-" But Tigerclaw was already leaving. She sighed. I hope Birdflower is okay, she thought, before casting one more look at the burning camp, and leaving. --> Part 2 <-- Spottedleaf curled up in her den. Even the night was warm, and the heat was merciless. It had kept her from going to the Moonstone tonight. It had kept Sunpaw from his Medicine cat name. But he wouldn't know that. Spottedleaf would make this work, still. She closed her eyes. ---------------------------- Spottedleaf woke in a cool, cool clearing. She gasped, and breathed in the cold air. It felt good on her scratchy throat- as the river and streams were drying up. But Redstar wouldn't acknowledge her anymore. Spottedleaf looked up to see Longtail. "Longtail?" She cried. "Why do I see you?" She remembered her terrifying visions of him helping bring destruction to the forest. But.. Longtail didn't look evil. He looked... hurt. Blood trickled from a wound above his eye and muzzle, and his paw was cut and smelled like infection. "What happened to you?" She cried. "Shh. Spottedleaf. I don't have much time." He whispered, choking on something. Maybe blood. "Something is coming to the forest, Spottedleaf. StarClan is dying. Dying, Spottedleaf." He let out a long, pained sigh. "What do I do? How do I help you?" She touched her tail lightly to his wounded face, but he flicked it away. "Some of us are hiding from him, Spottedleaf. But he'll find us. You need to stop the fire." "Fire?" She whispered, terror weaved in her voice. "Extinguish it with water." He hissed. "Water?" She said, but she heard hisses in the background. "Go, Spottedleaf." Longtail growled, spinning around to face the voices. "Or StarClan will die."
