Sandfall sighed, his ears flattening for a moment. "Swallowfeather didn't make it out. My younger siblings are especially upset, Goldheart and Fireblaze are barely warriors. We'll be okay, but it will take some time. Our mother was the only parent we knew so it's going to be strange without her. How about you Pigeonsong? Are you doing alright?"

“I’m so sorry....,”Pigeonsong spoke her voice soft as she looked at her clan mate the sadness in her eyes was clear. All the clan mates they had lost and those they held dear she couldn’t imagine. Shaking her head slightly, “I....I guess I’m still....in shock by what happened.... the terror and how quickly the fire swept through,” a shudder when through her as her gaze left him staring at the ground.

Sandfall shook his head, smiling sadly "Stormfury tried to save her but it was too late. Rainfeather did not make it out either. It happened quickly that's for sure. We were all sitting in camp one minute and evacuating the next." The toms ears perked up as he thought he heard the noise of running water. He quickened his pace towards the sound.

“It was so fast....,” Pigeonsong shook her head letting out a shaky breath before following him towards the sound of running water. She couldn’t believe this had happened to there clan she could only imagine what the other clans were going through as well.

Sandfall let out a purr of victory as they stumbled upon a small stream. The tom bent down to lap some up, unaware of how dry his throat had been until the cool water soothed it. He glanced around the area, "Do you see any moss Pigeonsong?"

Pigeonsong let out a breath drinking some water as well letting the cool water run through her. StarClan she had needed that so badly. She hadn’t realized how hot she had been and how her body craved hydration. Looking around she flicked her ears before smiling, “Over here,” she spoke moving towards moss growing in some rocks.

Sandfall grinned. “Nice find! We can bring some back for the queens and kits and lead or direct anyone else over here that needs a drink. I’m sure we all do.” He mewed, his demeanor changing as he felt productive, pushing the sorrow of his mother’s death to the back of his mind. The Tom scooped up a small clump of the moss and brought it to the water’s edge, soaking it thoroughly.

Pigeonsong nodded her head moving to do the same. Letting out a breath she looked at him softly, “I can lead them back if need be... hopefully we can get as much as we can,” she meowed.

Sandfall placed the clump gently on the ground before moving to do the same with the another clump. "You certainly can if you'd like. Luckily it's not too far away."

“I’m glad it’s not too far though I hope we can get enough for all those that need it....,” Pigeonsong frowned slightly trailing off, “I wish we could use the water to stop the fire... but the damage is already done....,” she meowed softly.

Sandfall sighed, moving to soak the next moss clump "This amount of water is much too small. The fire was massive. There would have had to be a massive storm to take out that fire."

Pigeonsong sighed softly, “Yeah.... I guess so,” she whispered shaking her head moving to grasp another clump of moss soaking it. Flicking her ears and frowned a bit but didn’t say anything else as she continued.

Sandfall glanced over at her, noticing the conflicted look on her face. "Are you holding something back?" he asked, genuinely curious.

Hey Jekyll :3 Here's my open cats )
Wolfstep padded back and forth, the tom anxious to Starclan and back after the fire.
Sagefoot sighed, looking down at Juniperkit and Larkkit who had finally gone to sleep after all the excitement. The queen's ears where flattened in defeat. Her mother was gone.

Stagpaw sat by himself near Sagefoot and her kits, his fur on end and his eyes wide in fear. A burn seared across his tail and winced now and then from the wounded flesh. He was deep into a panic attack at the moment, his anxiety reaching through to the surface as he looked around at the clan he called home.

“Huh? What me? Oh no,” Pigeonsong shook her head frowning looking at him then to her paws. Shaking her head vigorously before moving to soak another clump, “I just wish I could have done more,” she sighed.

Sagefoot glanced up as she saw movement out of the corner of her eye. "Stagpaw are you alright?" she mewed gently. Her eyes growing concerned for the apprentice.
Sandfall nodded sympathetically. "We got out pretty fast Pigeonsong, there wasn't much to do. We all helped the elders and queens and we got Eclipsesky's herbs. I know we didn't save everyone, but we did our best."

“I know but....why did Starclan allow this to happen....,” Pigeonsong frowned shaking her head letting out a low breath her tail twitched rather upset.

Stagpaw jumped at the voice and his fur stood up even more as he crouched down, looking at the queen with fear in his eyes, and tears falling softly down his face that he hadn't even known were there. "F-Fire. The death. M-My parents. Before I Was found by the clan. They died in a wildfire. I f-found their burned bodies the next day. My past is c-c-coming back to h-haunt me. All I can see are there b-bodies."

“I know but....why did Starclan allow this to happen....,” Pigeonsong frowned shaking her head letting out a low breath her tail twitched rather upset. Sandfall shook his head, as he placed down the last clump. “I wish I had an answer for you.” Looking around at the clumps around him, he gave a small nod of satisfaction. “I think this will be enough for now.” |

It’s not going to hurt you.” |

“Let’s head back then.... I’m sure the elders and queens could use this,” Pigeonsong frowned slightly moving to grasp a few clumps as gently as possible.

"B-But, the fire. It's still there. It's r-right there. So... so close. The pain, the pain hurts. It hurts so much." With those words his tail moved into view, having been hidden behind him previously. There were horrible open blisters all over and his fur was singe and gone all the way up his tail and even on her hindquarters a bit.

Sandfall moved to pick up the rest of the moss, before leading the way back to the camp. His leg ached from the changing weather and speed that they had ran. The Tom wondered if Scarstar was watching from above.
(If you didn’t know, Scarstar’s last life was used to save Sandpaw from a badger, but his leg was still injured. )

Sagefoot’s faze steeled as she took in the wounds on the apprentice. “Stagpaw, have you gone to see Eclipsesky or Dawnshadow? Your wounds need treated. It’ll make you feel better. He could also give you some poppy seeds to help you calm down”
*clones eclipsesky*
Eclipsesky stood at the mouth of the small cave, satisfied now that he has sorted his herbs to his liking.

Pigeonsong frowned it nodded her head though she didn’t move quickly. Her eyes held a sadness there but a new look of determination as well to help her clan mates.
