“There’s some cats at the wooden bridge! Apparently they’re good at healing!” Katie chimed in.

Rhiannon
Kittypet Queen | She/Her

It.... Rhiannon felt herself futilily digging claws into the pavement as she watched the inferno that was her home for most her life. Her husband was in there, her baby, her little white Snowdrop was in there and she curled around Ginger like she was the one named Snakeheart, clinging to reassure herself she had something. The whine of pain and heartbreak in her throat felt like agony, her heat scorched watering eyes felt like agony, her smoke charred lungs felt like agony, her barely even bleeding burn marred chest felt like agony. And every moment only felt worse as hope felt more and more childish against a force of nature cats had no hope against.

All Rhiannon could do was curl around her kitten, trying to shield the horrible sights from Ginger with her body and force down her building wails as her world burned.


It was Casket, Rushwater as he'd been increasingly reclaiming, that broke her out of the ringing horror that'd overtaken her senses, the tom blocking out the savage orange glow that'd be hypnotizing the queen like some vile magician. He- he was right, she couldnt linger, not with Ginger to think of and not with the pain rapidly waning her strength as the horror waned her mental faculties. The tom didnt linger, sprinting into the blaze and Rhiannon sent up a desperate prayer to the stars her ancestors did not dwell in that he'd find the two left within and get out safe. However she didnt stick around to watch.

"R-right. Youre so strong darling Im so proud of you. W-well get to the park and it'll be safe, once your Papa is out he'll fix everything. I-I dont think I can carry you so youre going to have to be strong and walk with me. I know you can do it, I believe in you baby."
It was only like four blocks, a trek the kittens had made before easily but in the current situation even for the full grown queen it felt like a horrible odyssey. Twolegs were still running everywhere, fearing for their life just as much as the cats did, rogues and kittypet neighbors alike injured scattered and alone each in their personal hell. Between that there was the few twolegs fighting back against the fires, some slowly starting to gain ground with their water spraying monsters and strange clothing that protected them from the blaze, allowing them to enter the burning homes and retrieve the people trapped inside.


It was a riot of colors and sounds and pain, and so the two could find themself lost easily on a path they'd taken several times. Sometimes Rhiannon needed Gingers help, stinging eyes too blurry to determine the right path in the changed landscape, and sometimes the queen was forced to pick up the molly and bolt across a high traffic or ashen landscape, uncaring of the ember scorching her paws. She couldnt carry the older kitten long however, and the sight of the unburned park and bridge was a relief.


"Eaglepaw!" Thready, weak from the smoke "Eaglepaw! Over here we-" They were there, they were safe, please help, I cant carry on. So many things unsaid as Rhiannons legs finally gave out beneath her, collapsing to the ground as the wound on the untested soft house cat overwhelmed her, strength gone now that she was assured Ginger was to safety and the molly consciousness fled, leaving her in blackness.

Mudslide nodded and turned to go to the back of the nest.Ill meet up with y’all soon just stay close” he says while running off near the back he heard the roar of the flames and grimaced since when did he add rising into flames to save twolegs to his application.He finally got to the back of the house and looked around looking for a way in he spotted a open window by a trash can he decided to hop onto the trash can then into the house.He grunted with effort as he hefted his large frame into the house once he was inside he instantly felt the heat he knew he had to be quick he rushed around trying to see through the smoke before long he spotted a lump on the ground it was a uprighter he got right in front of the creature and meowed right into their ear “GET UP” he meowed while coughing he didn’t have long…

Duck
Former TC ~*~ Kittypet

As he watched Mudslide disappear behind his house, regret immediately began to set in. His pelt prickled as unease swam in his stomach. But his pads still blazed with pain. There was no way he could go in. All he could do was sit and wait. Please please please let them be ok! "I should have gone in shouldn't I? I really am a miserable traitor. Must I always be putting other cats at risk?" He muttered this to himself, his green eyes still trained on his home. His burning crumbling home. He couldn't look away. Adrenaline was wearying off and horror was setting in. Had he really been about to fall asleep just a few moments ago? It all felt like a lifetime away. Everything except this moment felt like a lifetime away. Was he even really here? How could this be real?

But then he caught a glimpse of the cat next to him. He turned his head and Katie came into view. Worry for the young molly forced his mind out of its slurry. There would be time for that later. There always was. He flicked his fluffy tail and put it around her, trying to comfort her. Duck couldn't imagine the amount of stress he had caused this stranger. Especially in the state he was in now. What a mess I am. He would need to apologize to her later. Now was the time for action. "We should back up a little. When that brown cat gets back, we'll go to the bridge together." He meowed softly. It was the first string of words he had managed to speak without being in a complete panic. Maybe that was a good sign?
