Echosplash collapsed between Littleshadow and Tinypool, wheezes wracking through her body.
Littleshadow let out a shriek as she watched her adoptive mother fall. "No, No Echosplash we need to keep going!"
Tinypool stared at her mother in shock, she leaned down trying to nudge her mother back up.
Echosplash shook her head. "I can't."

Ashfaith let out a raspy chuckle but fell silent, his paws dragging beneath him as he moved forward with the other tom. Soot and ash clung to his fur and everything around him was cloudy, leading to the tom not even knowing if they were going the right direction.

Earthstar watched in unease as smoke continued to billow from the WindClan border. There was no way he'd be able to scent any of his Clanmates in the smoke - not to mention see them. But he had to try. He gripped the grass with his claws, lashing his tail. He'd lose all the rest of his lives to save the patrol if they were really in danger. Breaking out into a run, he dashed alongside the river, calling out names. "Rosefrost! Ottermask! Sootfeather! Anyone!" He could see that the brush had been pulled back, but nobody was in sight.

Ottermask looked up hearing a faint voice through the smoke. "Here!" He shouted with everything he had, praying to StarClan someone would hear and help them. "We're here!"

Earthstar perked his ears, hearing the faint voice. He didn't know who it belonged to, but he knew they needed help. "Where are you?" he called over the fire, following the voice's direction as best he could.

"Here!" Ottermask called again, guiding Ashfaith toward the voice. He coughed. "We're here!"

Ottermask! Earthstar widened his eyes. "I'm coming!" he called out, following his voice. At last he could see the outline of the warrior, but who was he carrying? "We need to go!"

"I need help!" Ottermask broke off coughing and nearly stumbled to the ground again. He jostled Ashfaith, hoping the younger warrior was still with them.

"I've got you!" Earthstar rushed forward, now seeing the tom and the wounded warrior stumbling. The fire was blazing closer behind them. He moved to grasp Ashfaith by the scruff. "I'll get him. You focus on keeping up." he told Ottermask.

Ottermask huffed heavily and nodded to his leader. Keeping up was easier than carrying Ashfaith, but Ottermask would make to there to help the leader if needed.

Ashfaith by now was close to blacking out. His legs were useless as his body fought to get air in but all that was smoke. His coughs were weaker now and the tom fought to keep his eyes open; so preoccupied with staying alive, the tom didn't even know that Earthstar had approached.
(I won't kill him but I can at least have some fun with him and make it where he has bad breathng the rest of his life. Mwahahahahahaha))

"Stay awake, Ashfaith." Earthstar ordered, trying to make sure the tom didn't fall unconscious. His adrenaline would help him, but carrying an awake cat was much easier than a limp one. He knew they had to hurry before it was too late to save him.

Echosplash collapsed between Littleshadow and Tinypool, wheezes wracking through her body. Littleshadow let out a shriek as she watched her adoptive mother fall. "No, No Echosplash we need to keep going!" Tinypool stared at her mother in shock, she leaned down trying to nudge her mother back up. Echosplash shook her head. "I can't." Diamondheart pushed through the underbrush, the smoke making him cough lightly. He called out, having caught trace of the scent of the missing group members. He called out quickly. “Echosplash? Tinypool, Littleshadow? Are you back here?” The deputy called.

Tinypool's ears perked as she heard the deputy's voice "Diamondheart! Help! Echosplash won't get up."
Echosplash's breathing was getting slower and more ragged.
Littleshadow was continually trying to gently push their mother up again. "Echosplash the fire is coming."
Echosplash looked sadly at her daughters "I think it may be my time. You should go on without me." she rasped, the sentence broken up with wheezes.

“Echosplash!” Diamondheart gasped, his eyes widening, before he caught up quickly to the elder and her daughters. He fretted quickly. “We’re close, Echosplash. You must give it your all, we cannot just leave you here.” He shook his head firmly.
“We can carry you. We’ll help you.” He promised as calmly as he could manage, trying to move to grip at the Elder’s scruff. He could see how hard it was for her to breathe, and it made his heart ache.

Echosplash laid her head down as Diamondheart tried to grab her scruff, all the energy she had used to get to this point. Her eyes were barely open as she stared at the deputy, chest barely rising and falling.
Littleshadow let out a sniffle, "Mother, no. You can't go!"
Tinypool looked at Diamondheart then back to her mother. "We can carry her, but I'm afraid even then she won't make it." she whispered, voice thick with sorrow.

“We must try!” Diamondheart called around a mouthful of fur, though the deputy was no fool. He could tell that the old she-cat was beginning to go to Starclan. Even so, he refused to leave her out here. He sniffed once and murmured. “Echosplash...”

Echosplash let out one last slow breath before going still.
Littleshadow whimpered when she noticed her breaths had stopped. "We can't leave her body here." she cried.
Tinypool felt a tear roll down her face as she looked up at the deputy "Can you put her on my back... I want to carry her. Please."

“I...I’m so sorry...” Diamondheart murmured sadly, giving the two warriors a heavy look. He nodded quietly at Tinypool’s request, as he hauled the elder up upon the she-cat’s back. He moved to help support her at her side, his tail low as he mourned. “She was a brave Riverclan cat...We will not leave her without a proper burial. Come on, we have to get moving.”

Tinypool struggled with the weight of her mother for a moment until she became accustomed to it. Trying to stop her tears she trudged forward grateful for the help from the deputy. This was not the time for mourning, they needed to get out of here.
Littleshadow moved to support Echosplash's weight on the other side of her adoptive sister. The younger warrior sniffling softly.

Diamondheart steadied himself, knowing that he had to return quickly to the rest of the clan. He knew that the death of Echosplash would effect the clan greatly. He only hoped that Tinypool and Littleshadow would be alright. He pushed onwards, back towards the barn.

( back to twoleg place lol )
Tinypool took a deep breath as she spotted the barn in the distance. Her mother had almost made it. Tinypool sped up as much as she could feeling the smoke thickening around them.
Littleshadow let out a little cough, not realizing how much the smoke had affected her.

Ashfaith gave a weak nod against Earthstar and hoped it had been enough for the leader to know that he was still awake and with them. His paws managed to find some support beneath him and the tom managed to take on some of his own weight to make it easier on his leader.

To Twolegplace!)
Earthstar found it easier to carry Ashfaith since he started supporting himself. However, he kept his grip on the tom's scruff to make sure he didn't fall. "Follow me," he muttered through to fur to Ottermask. They should be able to get to Twolegplace and away from the fire.

Ottermask nodded back to his leader, keeping close enough that his nose touched Earthstar's tail, he didn't want to risk losing the leader through all this smoke. If ever Earthstar needed help carrying Ashfaith, Ottermask was there to lend his strength.
(Ok!)

Sunstripe traveled deeper into Riverclan territory, glad to be back in familiar grounds. The territory didn't seem to be entirely scorched, which left Sunstripe with a ray of hope that the camp was in relatively good condition. "I can't wait to return home so we can start rebuilding." He said to Icepath and Eelshock.
