FlameClan (SHUT DOWN)

Suddenly a flash of grey bumped into Tawnystar, a loud mew of surprise was heard from Fireflower as the new cat stepped back and brushed himself off. The cat was actually Lostbreath, and he seemed relieved to see someone but he was mouthing the words Sorry over and over since he couldn't exactly speak.

Lostbreath pawed ground nervously watching his leader and flicked his tail, slightly angered at the fact that he can't say much. Fireflower nodded to Lostbreath and said "Were you trying to get away from something?" Lostbreath nodded vigorously.

He looked back at where he came from and sighed. Fireflower yowled quietly "Draw the thing you saw"
He nodded and drew a spider in the dirt with his nails, making sure it was the same size as he saw it. The spider was as big as his foot.

He nodded again, yet Fireflower started snickering.
She couldn't hold in her laughter anymore and yelled "What? A little old spider? Why would that be scary?"
She rolled on the ground laughing. Lostbreath frowned and stood up preparing to walk away.

Fireflower frowned and groaned as she got up, as if she was still a kit. Lostbreath looked down at her with narrowed eyes.

The ginger she-cat let out a defiant a huff but then mewed "I'm sorry, Lostbreath",

Lostbreath nodded and stepped back. Fireflower couldn't smell anything, yet Lostbreath caught the scent of smoke from the east. He frowned and looked in the direction of the scent. The canopy was too thick here to see the smoke, but he knew it was close.

Fireflower noticed that the two were sniffing at the air and wondered why. She looked over and sniffed, suddenly realizing there was smoke. She looked up at her leader nervously but didn't say a word.

Lostbreath stepped forward curiously. He had never disliked fires; which was mostly due to having never had a forest fire. He was slightly unsettled though by Fireflower's concerned expression. He looked back at Tawnystar and flicked his tail as if asking: Can I go investigate?.

Fireflower stepped back at his words, "Are you sure? Could I stay here and watch for anything else?" She nervously blinked and sniffled.

Lostbreath nodded to his leader, ignoring the other cat's cowardly words. He scraped his claws into the dirt unknowingly.

Fireflower nodded briskly then sat down and looked around with wide eyes. The scent of smoke wasn't as strong anymore, maybe the rain is putting out whatever fire there is.

Lostbreath stepped beside Tawnystar and nodded as well. His ears pricked up at every little sound in the forest. The rain kept going on and on.

Lostbreath followed his leader. His ears twitched constantly. The smell of smoke was getting stronger the closer they got. Suddenly, Lostbreath bounded through the forest ahead of Tawnystar into a small clearing. He looked up to see a tall tree was burning. Its bark was singed with ash and it had been cut down through the middle.

Lostbreath tried to mew for Tawnystar, but he couldn't. Lostbreath sighed silently at his handicap. He hated being unable to talk ever since he was an apprentice.

Lostbreath nodded, he noticed a stream nearby that was overflowing with rainwater from the storm. He lifted his head to find a leaf he could try to collect the water with. None were big enough. The fire wasn't spreading luckily, the water was beating down too strong. Lostbreath stepped back into the shade as he shook off the water that soaked his body. He coughed at the smell of smoke and looked back at Tawnystar for help.

Lostbreath simply stood there and nodded. He looked back over at where they came from, hearing footsteps echoing into the clearing. Suddenly a ginger head stuck out of bushes and soon Fireflower was running towards Lostbreath and Tawnystar.

Fireflower looked up at the fire, the flickering light danced on her orange fur. She looked back at her leader and asked "Wha-what should we do?"

Lostbreath shook his head in disappointment. He stepped towards the stream near him and took a drink. Then he looked back up at the fire; it wasn't very strong and the pouring rain was already putting it out. He stepped towards the tree, out into the strong rainy clearing.

Fireflower replied with a yowl, "Okay... Should we go?"

Lostbreath meanwhile, was busy climbing up the tree. That cat was a bit-...-too curious. He was as close to the flame as he could get without being burned. The tom spit at the fire, putting out only a little bit of of spark. The wind was getting stronger and the trees were swaying violently with the powerful gusts that came from the north.

Fireflower yowled to Lostbreath with a worried tone, "Get down from there!"

Lostbreath twitched his ear and whipped his grey head around to see the two below him. He frowned and jumped down from the tree, landing perfectly on his feet. He opened his mouth and yawned as his tail flicked from side to side.

Fireflower was fuming as he got down there and ran up to him with hiss, her tail lashing with rage, "Do you know what could've happened? Do you know?"

Lostbreath frowned even more and shook his head. Fireflower's ginger fur was almost like it was on fire itself as she smacked him on the nose with her tail, running back to her leader.

Lostbreath just stood there in the rain. His soaked fur swayed with the wind. He stepped over and dipped his head to leader in a way that meant sorry.

Lostbreath nodded once more. Then he looked back at Fireflower. Fireflower was fine now at least. She followed in behind the others and waited.
