(Thank you Frost! Yes we're grateful as it could've been so much worse. The collision was bad enough but then she tricked him into pulling over and then took off. It was too dark to get the plates. Some people are real aholes. )

Lightfall, Larkshadow, Sandpaw / Fighting against the gator Lightfall let out a furious howl as she leaped into battle. The fury of what this creature had done to her clanmates was eclipsing the cold terror she felt at the sight of the large scaly monstrous lizard. She tried to score her claws along the creature's side, only to hear the grating sounds of the claws striking hard scales. dodging its thrashing tail, she backed up, eyes narrowed. Where could they strike it to deal some real damage? "The underbelly!" She yowled. "Aim for below!" Surely like any other snake or lizard, its underbelly would be soft and unprotected.
The thrill of his first battle as a warrior was keeping Larkshadow quick on his feet. He pelted around from behind the creature, keeping an eye on the massive thudding paws. It had been those paws that had mangled Skunkpaw's paw. He struck out along the back of it's leg, then let out a yowl of alarm as the creature turned with surprising agility. He whipped around to dodge the snapping jaws, only to feel teeth snap around his tail tip and pain shooting up his tail. He let out a furious hiss and wrenched his tail from its jaws.
Sandpaw's eyes seemed to glitter as he threw himself in the fray, with little regard that he was still an apprentice. He aimed straight for the tail and leaped, fastening his teeth into it. He knew that it couldn't catch him, and though the huge tail whipped back and forth, attempting to throw him off, he held firm, yowling his fury as he was whipped into the air and then slammed into the earth.

Cobrastorm bounded down the tree as Nightstar gave the signal to attack, he leaped down on to the ground along with his clanmates as some warriors raked their claws against gator's tough hide and the others block the water so it wouldn't escape. The attacks to the gator's hide didn't seem not to inflicted much damage to the creature only seemed to making the gator angry and lash out at it attackers. Hissing and arching his back, Cobrastorm leaped forward to claw the only visible soft spot called out by Lightfall making sure to avoided the gator's claws and as he drew back from his attack, the gator turned to snap its long maw at him and another warrior but Cobrastorm caught the blunt force of the gator's trashing head against his left shoulder causing him to stumble make as the unexpected force seemed to knock him out of air and off his feet.

As warriors and apprentices alike dashed in and out from the attack on the gator, Nightstar couldn't help but notice the clan was hardly making any progress with the gator. She could hear hisses and snarls, growls and yowls of anger and protest. She dove in, yowling a challenge as she watched Bearswipe tumbling back towards the group of cats blocking the water. Sandpaw was clinging tight to its tail as he was raised into the air and then smacked down with a force that had Nightstar cringe. As Cobrastorm was swiped in the shoulder by blunt force of the creatures face, Nightstar bunched her legs underneath her fluffy body. Muscles rippled beneath her fur and in a powerful leap, she landed square on the gators face. Clinging tight to its snout, she dug her claws in, snarling fury. Anger burned deep within her at the sight of seeing her clanmates tumbled away like they were nothing, especially Cobrastorm. Before the leader could call a command to her warriors to attack its belly while she had its face, she found herself being shaken. Surprise rippled through her as she felt its jaws snapping beneath her. It couldn't reach her, as it continued to shake its head. Feeling her claws slipping, a shocked screech escaped the calico leader as she was flung from the creatures face. With a loud 'THUD' she hit a nearby tree and slumped to the ground. Every bone in her body seemed to scream when she tried to move, causing her to go limp against the ground. She was winded and her rips ached on her right side from hitting the tree. Breathing coming out in gasps, her ears rang as she tried to lift her head again.
At Lightfall's call to attack the belly, Frostpaw waited until Nightstar had attacked its face before she saw an opening. Diving forwards, the small black molly swiped her claws down the bottom of its side. She felt satisfied when her claws ripped into the softest spot of its body. Clawing some more, she flattened her ears, determined to get revenge for her sister. Blood welled up around her claws and she gave a satisfied hiss. The world seemed to blacken around her though as a massive foot came crashing towards her the same moment Nightstar was flung from it's face. A pained scream came from the apprentice as her tail was pinned beneath its foot and a massive face turned towards her. Scrambling at the ground, claw marks being scraped into the ground, Frostpaw struggled to free herself. As its jaws opened, ready to wrap around her little body, she closed her eyes tight, not wanting to see the end of her life. She prayed someone would reach the creature before it got ahold of her. "Starclan help me!"
Icestorm had managed to climb onto to creatures back, trying to cling to the creature as well as find soft spots, seemed to prove difficult. Yet, the large tom worked his way around the scaly body, digging his claws into each section of the gator. He growled in annoyance as how hard it was to penetrate its thick skin with his claws. His ears flattened as he tried to pay attention to his clanmates around him. A familiar screech filled his ears as his daughter, Frostpaw was trapped. Nightstar had lost her grip on the monster and it had turned its attention onto the apprentice. "FROSTPAW!" Fear seemed to wrap around his heart as he went to fling himself at the creatures face, but found himself thrown from the body as it turned on his daughter. Hitting the ground, grunting from the fall, he scrambled to his paws. He wasn't close enough to his daughter to save her, but he still tried to get to her.
Flameheart- - Thistletongue - - Walnutpaw [45 Moons][Deputy][Tom] Where. - - Harmony Stream With - -Bearswipe, Swansong, Jadepaw, Lightfall, Shadowstorm [Fallenleaves nimble ~Skyblaze~ Copperstar☂ ]
As Sandpaw crashed to the ground and Bearswipe was knocked away, Flameheart had to dodge his clanmates bodies. He followed in suite with his clanmates, attack it from behind, trying to draw its attention away from his clanmates. Yet, around him, warrior after warrior was swiped away, shaken from its body or snagged by its massive claws and sharp teeth. He dove for the bottom part of its body, snagging its belly, before diving back away. "Watch the apprentices! Keep close! Don't let it get its jaws on you!"
Each time the creature would move backwards towards the water, Walnutpaw would claw at its back legs, making it step forwards again. He hissed and snarled challenges at it as he made sure it didn't retreat to the water. Around him, clanmates attacked and were attacked by the monster. He longed to do more, but knew if he wasn't ready, they could very easily lose a clanmate as well as their chance to take out this creature.
Watching his mate try to go for the creatures eyes, with no success, fear overwhelmed Thistletongue. He dove to help steady Brindlebriar as she found her footing. He hissed at her, his demand for her to be careful and not risk her life too much. They had a daughter at home. After being sure she was safe, the large tom jumped up its body as Icestorm did. While Icestorm worked the bottom part of its body, Thistletongue worked its way to his head. He clamed his claws on either side of the back side of its head, as Nightstar attacked the snout. He had a hard time hanging on as the creature moved its head back and forth. It stretched his shoulders as it tried to free its face from Nightstar. As it got free of Nightstar and suddenly whipped its head in a sharp turn to Frostpaw, Thistletongue gave a startled yelp as he tumbled down its leg and to the ground. Blood pulled from his right paw where a nail was broken and hanging.

Sandpaw, Larkshadow, Lightfall / Fighting the gator Sandpaw was winded after being crashed into the ground, and a sharp gasp escaped him as his lungs screamed out. He returned to his paws gingerly. His ribs hurt, but they didn't seem broken. The sound of a screech from the front of the creature drew his attention, and he looked up to see the source of it. His heart tightened as he did. Frostpaw. He stopped thinking. There was no time to go around. He instead ducked below the tail that had just dislodged him and snaked his way under the creature's underbelly, using his small size to his advantage. He could feel the hot air of the creature's body, held low to the ground, all around him like a claustrophobic vice, and he feared that it would decide to lower its weight upon him, crushing him. He arrived at the slavering jaws, and saw that they were only inches from Frostpaw. Winding up, he charged forward, smashing into the bottom of the jaw with his head as hard as he could. With the tough muscle and sinew, it was like plowing through stone, and Sandpaw was seeing stars, but it was enough to ward it off, just for a second. The apprentice fastened his teeth into Frostpaw's scruff and gave a mighty tug, hauling her away from the beast's face.
Blood ran down Larkshadow's cheek from a cut along his forehead. Another, longer scratch welled blood in his shoulder, and there were teeth marks scored along his flank. This was a brutal fight, but no cat, warrior or apprentice, had time to recover. Taking a breath, the young warrior launched himself back into the fray with a fearsome screech, thorn sharp claws sinking into the creature's side, where the scales melted away into skin. He felt a surge of satisfaction as the claws sank into softer flesh, embedding the tom into the creature.
Lightfall staggered awkwardly to the side, shoulder wrenched from being dislodged from its hind legs. She snarled her fury at the creature, but was also keeping her eyes out for the more vulnerable fighters, ensuring that no apprentice was being cornered. She had moved to aid Frostpaw, then started in surprise as Sandpaw shot out from under the creature. She sank her teeth into one of the creature's legs, shaking her head furiously from side to side as she tried to tear out anything she could, anything to weaken it and keep it from walking. If it's legs was seriously wounded here, even if they backed off, it couldn't run to the sea.

Shadowstorm gazed around at his clan-mates, fear pricking his gaze. Most of the cats were injured, but not too badly. He watched as the creature cornered frostpaw and his paws had itched to go and dig his claws into the creature, but he knew that he had to stop it from escaping into the water. He clawed at it's hind leg as it backed up slightly. He prayed to Starclan over and over that they would defeat this beast already.

Brindlebriar nodded at Thistletongue. She really had no right to be out here fighting this soon after her kitting, but the desire to protect her clan and fight for the death of the loved clan members, she couldn't just sit in the camp and wonder. Flattening her ears and dodging her leaders body as it was thrown from the head of the animal, she quickly rushed to Nightstar side and lifted her leaders head with hers, willing her to breath. She knew her leader had some lives left, but with all that's been going on, Nightstar would need all the lives given. After Nightstar regained some of her balance, Brindle turned to the mess of cats running, jutting, hissing and spitting. This was a mess. They were making no progress. Whatever was on the back on the animal, it was strong. Starclan help us! She cried out, praying that they would soon find the animals weekness. Outside of Leafclans camp, by the Moonlit sea & Open to anyone Ace carried a fat mouse in her jaws. The sun was high, making it a great time for all animals to be out and about, the perfect time for hunting. Seeing that she only had to feed herself, the days were easy on her, regardless of living close to a clans territory. She made sure to stay away from their borders, not wanting to draw attention to herself and cause issues with clan cats. She knew they were strong, and there was only one of her. As she reached the opening of her nest, the noise of many cats yowling caught her attention. What is going on right now.... She thought. Perking her ears up, her tail dropping to the ground, she listened intently. There was a fight just a few fox lengths away from her, and from the sound of it, many cats were struggling. Do I need to go help? She thought to herself. Deciding against it, but not being able to push away her curiosity, she stalked towards the noise. Outside of the border, a large bolder sat, allowing her to watch what was going on.
What came into view for her made her fur rise. What on Cats Planet were these animals attacking.... It was HUGE. She watched, eyes wide, as cats left and right were thrown, broken and hurting. The large animal was unfazed by the cats feeble attempts at killing it. Did they want it for food? She was confused, but decided her place on the rock was good enough for her at the moment.

Lilyfire braced herself for the creatures jaws as they swung towards her, and she shut her eyes.Oh starclan help me! A slight burning sensation happened as she felt something graze across her left eyebrow fast, and she let out a yelp. She backed away fast, blood streaming down her eye. she quickly brought a paw a white and grey paw up to her eye, tending to her wound. She let out a yowl, and jumped on the creatures back as it swayed beneath her. She attacked with her claws, ripping into the creatures scales but not making much progress. The creature gave a rumble and began turning over, and lilyfire was thrown off. She was stunned and her head barely missed a rock as she was thrown.

Swansong paced behind the creature, watching as her clan swarmed it. The white molly’s heart clenched in her chest and she let out a snarl every time a clanmate was injured. Anger burned within her and her eyes searched the crowd for her sister. She hadn’t seen Wildmane since the initial attack and though she wouldn’t admit, dread gnawed on her stomach.
Bearswipe rolled back to his feet, aches made themselves known but he ignored them to charge in once more. He saw his apprentice desperately clawing the beasts hindquarters and roared his anger as he dove in for the same spot he’d clawed before. Cries of the injured echoed around him, under yowls of rage, the chaos swirling and feeding into the storm within him.
Swansong eyes widened and her hackles rose as the creature shifted. “ITS GOING TO ROLL!” She shrieked over the chaos, fear gripping her as the beast began to fall onto the cats beside it.
Bearswipe heard his sisters cry and instantly looked to Walnutpaw. “Get away!” He cried before hurling himself at its side and doing his best to delay it. His shoulder groaned as its weight began to settle, his legs trembling as its weight came down. Bearswipe was the largest tom the clan had seen but even he only slowed the creature, giving his clanmates mere seconds to react. Then he collapsed beneath it.

Nightstar's head swam as Brindlebriar helped her. As soon as she could hold her head up, the queen dove back towards her clanmates, leaving the leader to catch her breath. Forcing herself to her paws, the calico molly's legs shook beneath her. She stared with wide amber eyes, watching her clanmates fall one after the other. Each continued to get back up, no matter what blood or bruises might be welling beneath their fur. She slunk towards the creature again when she saw it shifting its body. A warning screech came from Swansong and Nightstar caught a glimpse of Bearswipe barreling into the gators side, trying to slow down its rolling. Cats scattered from around the creature, diving away from its body to prevent themselves from being rolled on. Leaving only two warriors in its path. Bearswipe, who had been trying to save his clanmates and the massive Icestorm, who had joined the larger tom in giving their clanmates time to scatter. She let out a yowl as they both sunk beneath the creature for a moment before it rolled back onto its stomach and off of the toms. Rushing forwards, she distracted it from where the two warriors lay, from being crushed by the gator. Its head flashed after her, jaws snapping. Excruciating pain shot through the leader as the end of its snapping jaws caught her right hind leg. She let out a scream and turned, clawing at its snout with a fury of jabs and slashes.
Holding her breath, Frostpaw gave a startled yelp when she felt teeth in her scruff and she was hauled away from the creatures massive jaws. Her tail shot with pain up her spine as it was tugged free from the gators feet, dislocating the end of it. It hung from her hindquarters, useless now. Yet the apprentice couldn't help but feel grateful for the easy fix. Her tail could be fixed, her life wouldn't have been. Tumbling away with Sandpaw, she turned to the tom with so much gratitude and relief in her blue eyes. The battle around her faded into the background as she gazed at him, seeing a whole new side of him. She shook free from her thoughts at Swansong's warning and turned to watch the creature roll on her father and Bearswipe. A squeak escaped her and she whimpered in protest as it buried the two toms beneath it before rolling back off of them. Within heartbeats, it had ahold of Nightstar's leg, its tail sweeping behind it and sending a startled Walnutpaw barreling into Larkshadow.
Icestorm faintly heard the warning from Swansong and his eyes widened at the clan cats trying to clear away from the creature. All but Bearswipe, who dove up against the creatures side and tried to hold it up. With a determined snarl, the large warrior dove at its side with Bearswipe, trying to help him slow it down. Only moments later, he felt its weight on him and his legs shook in protest before crumbling underneath him. Darkness fell over him as he was buried beneath its scaly back. The breath crushed from his lungs, the tom struggled to breath, only gasping for breath when the weight rolled off of him. He groaned has his body throbbed. Turning his gaze to search for Bearswipe and make sure he was alive.
Flameheart- - Thistletongue - - Walnutpaw [45 Moons][Deputy][Tom] Where. - - Harmony Stream With - -Bearswipe, Swansong, Jadepaw, Lightfall, Shadowstorm [Fallenleaves nimble ~Skyblaze~ Copperstar☂ ]
Walnutpaw dove away from the creature as it crushed his mentor and Icestorm. He meowed in protest, praying that Bearswipe was alright. Upon watching it roll back onto its stomach and off of the warriors, the somali tom took steps towards Bearswipe, before immediately yelping in shock. A large tail swept him right away from the group and straight into Larkshadow. Grunting in protest, he struggled to his paws, panting from exhaustion.
Thistletongue scrambled to get away from the creature as it started to tip itself over. Leaving a blood trail, he limped to his mate. Nudging her away, he scrambled towards the trees, stopping when they were clear of the creature. His pelt was ruffled and exhaustion strained in his gaze. His clanmates were not going to win this battle. He knew it already. He wouldn't allow his mate to fight anymore. "No more, Brindle. It's not going to work. Nightstar will call retreat soon..She must."
As Nightstar was snatched by the back leg, Flameheart's mind screamed. All around warriors were injured and exhausted. The creature seemed unfazed by them at this point. It started to step backwards, swiping its large and powerful tail to clear its way to the water. Dragging a screeching and angry Nightstar with it. Turning to his clanmates, he let out a snarl of a command. "CLEAR THE WAY. GET AWAY FROM ITS TAIL." Turning his green gaze on Lightfall, he hissed urgently to the molly. "Lightfall. I'm going to get it from Nightstar, Blind it. Get to its head and BLIND IT." Without another word, the flame and white colored tom darted forwards. He lashed at its snout, eyes flaming with anger. Claws sliced the edges of its nose and it dropped the scrambling Nightstar, turning on the deputy. "Thats right, you mouse-brained beast! Come here!" He flew around the side of the beast, causing it to turn away from Nightstar and the group and head at him. This time, the large scaly creature moved with such speed, Flameheart didn't even have a second to think. Jaws snapped tight around his shoulders and neck and lifted his entire body into the air. Hindquarters dangling, the deputy's gaze turned to panic and a protesting hiss came from him. Trying to struggle free, he fought for his life but was unable to move his head or front paws. "NOW, LIGHTFALL. GET IT NOW!" His scream started to turn to a gasp as it's teeth tightened around him. Darkness started to edge his vision has pain shot through his entire body. His life started to flash behind his eyes and a whimper escaped him. Applenose was back at camp, waiting for him to return. She was due for his kits, that he would never meet. In those very moments, the tom felt a deep ache fill his heart. To leave his family and clan without him. He opened his mouth to speak, but a terrible snap sounded as his neck snapped and his green eyes glazed over. Falling limp, his head hung from the creatures mouth. As quickly as he had freed Nightstar to live another day, he had been caught and killed.
Nightstar's screech lit up the air as her Deputy was killed. She panicked, eyes clouding with grief and she called the retreat. "GET OUT. LEAFCLAN. RETREAT. GET OUT. NOW." In the same heartbeat, she moved forwards to claw at the gators face. "Let him go! LET HIM GO!" The Molly would not leave without her Deputy. She wouldn't leave without any of her warriors. Especially not her dead friend. She flattened her ears, begging Starclan for help. Chest aching as she struggled for breath. Her body ached, her back leg lifted from the ground, unable to put weight on it. She panicked even more as the creature started for the water, Flameheart in it's jaws. "No. No..NO."

Bearswipe dazedly came to, his eyes taking a moment to focus on the concerned face before him. “Icestorm?” He meowed in confusion before glancing around. It was then that an awful snapping rang through the forest, his leaders shriek of agony echoing after.
Whipping his head around, Bearswipe felt nauseated but did his best to blink away the blur to spy his leader scrabbling to get a good hold on Flameheart trapped in the gator’s jaws. He blinked and blinked, unable to comprehend what he was looking at. The deputy looked... dead. Bearswipe yowled in fury and struggled to his feet only to then howl in anguish. His front left leg was broken, snapped clean in half by the beasts weight.
Swansong saw her brother stir and released a breath she hadn’t realized she was holding when his next pained cry rang out. The white she-cat’s eyes followed his gaze to their leader and deputy. Swansong gaped in shock at Flameheart, clearly dead, before she focused on her leader. Nightstar was clinging and clawing desperately, trying to free her deputy. It was clear that at this rate Nightstar would simply be dragged into the water to her death as well.
Snarling Swansong leapt forward and tackled her leader, inches from the shore. “He’s dead, Nightstar!”

Lightfall, Larkshadow, Sandpaw / Fighting the gator Sandpaw met Frostpaw's gaze for a few seconds, and then he stumbled, vision going in and out as he felt a lump grow on his head. The impact combined with the exertion of saving Frostpaw had disoriented him, and he teetered around for a few seconds, before slumping to the ground dizzily. The battle around him seemed to quiet as a shrill ringing filled his ears. Then, he heard a screech of pure anguish. Leafclan, retreat! The words of his leader and mentor seemed to penetrate the fog, and he forced himself to his feet. He began to stumble from the clearing, one step barely in front of the other.
Lightfall's fur bristled in alarm at Flameheart's order. "What are you going to do?" She exclaimed at the creature's relentless rampage. How could he stop it without risking himself? Then, she realized it didn't matter. Their leader and clanmate was in danger. He would do anything he could, as would she. Her claws flexed against the mud as she waited carefully, heart hammering in her chest as Flameheart pounced at the creature's side. For a moment, it seemed like everything was fine. Then, its gaping maw found its way around the ginger tom's body. Lightfall's jaws opened in a soundless cry, her whole body shaking, until she heard her name. That's right. She had a job to do. Flameheart had sacrificed himself for this. Now was not the time to panic and freeze up. It was time to fight back. A scream of pure rage and frustration now building in her open jaws, Lightfall reared up on her hind legs and launched herself right at the monster's face. She landed squarely on its snout, digging her hind legs into the bumpy nose. The creature shook its head viciously, trying to shake her off, but she dug in harder, refusing to be thrown away. The small, beady, slitted yellow eye swiveled in its socket to face her, and she could see the lazy malice there. One eye, she could see, was already scarred, and she realized with satisfaction that Skunkpaw had gotten some retaliation for her injuries. She raised a forepaw, and with as much venom as she could muster, struck down into the good eye, digging her talons as deep into the socket as she could.
The effect was instantaneous. The creature reared back its head and roared as Lightfall dug deeper, putting her grief, frustration, and anger into the blow. She didn't stop until the blood welled fully under her paws, confirming that the eye was damaged beyond repair. As the creature's mouth opened, Lightfall realized that its grip on Flameheart had loosened. She hesitated for a second. If she went for the second eye, no doubt it would retreat completely, with Flameheart in tow. She couldn't bare the thought of the deputy ending up in a watery grave, with the creature as its only companion. Making her decision, she dislodged herself from the creature and leaped back down, fastening her teeth in Flameheart's limp scruff. She yanked the warrior's body clean from the jaws right before they snapped shut once more. Still holding Flameheart, she stumbled into the sand, winded, as the creature retreated, one socket now bloody and dark. It gave a final roar, before receding into the murky depths once again.
Larkshadow started as Walnutpaw barreled into him and knocked them both to the ground. The warrior struggled back to his paws, wincing as pain lanced through his side. The creature seemed completely unfazed, and no matter how many cats threw themselves at it, it seemed to shake them off like they were fresh-kill. "It's the end..." He murmured. Then, everything seemed to go even worse. Nightstar was caught, and Larkshadow feared that if it dragged her into the water, it wouldn't matter how many lives she had left. Before he could react, Flameheart leaped into the fray, and managed to free Nightstar...only moments before its jaws clamped around him itself. "No!" He yowled, fur bristling in despair. Larkshadow deeply respected the deputy, and to see the creature claim him so easily was unthinkable. At Nightstar's call for retreat, his amber eyes clouded with grief. He wanted to leap right back in and punish this monster for taking their deputy, but his Clan needed him. The tom nudged Walnutpaw away from the water's edge. "We're going now." He rasped, glancing back at Flameheart's still form. "Go!"

As the calico leader was tackled to the ground, anger filled her. She turned to lash out at her attacker, only stopping her claws inches from Swansong's face. Immediately she went limp and her amber eyes filled with such dread and pain. A low and painful cry came from her maw as she turned her gaze to the retreating gator, her deputy in its jaws. Shock pulsed through Nightstar as the familiar shape of Lightfall climbed its way up the gators snout. Within seconds, her claws were deep in its eye. A roar of pain echoed through the woods. The next moment, Lightfall was pulling Flameheart's limp body from the jaws of the creature. It retreated into the water without a soul to take with it. Pushing her way away from Swansong, she struggled to get to Flameheart, but her leg shot with pain when she tried to step and her body felt bruised and broken. Her chest ached and her body burned with the fever that had started that morning. A wheeze came from her as she dropped to the ground, the world spinning around her. Injured and sick, she was completely exhausted.
Frostpaw forced herself to move when the Leader screecged out retreat. Her heart ached in her chest as she watched the gator kill their deputy. After seeing Icestorm getting to his paws, she turned and slunk after Sandpaw. She brushed close against the tom, wrapping a feathery tail around him and guiding him slowly back towards camp. There was no need to rush, as they were in no immediate danger anymore. The world became muffled to her as she urged Sandpaw onwards, pushing her nose into his cheek. Worry filled her gaze as she looked at him.
Icestorm forced himself to his paws. Shaky and hurting, the tom limped towards Bearswipe. He was nothing more than bruised and scraped up. Maybe a sprain to his shoulder. Moving to Bearswipes left side, he hooked his shoulder under the toms and urged him back towards camp, letting him use him as a crutch. "Come, Bearswipe. Let's get you home. Swansong and Lightfall will make sure everyone else gets out safely."
Flameheart- - Thistletongue - - Walnutpaw [45 Moons][Deputy][Tom] Where. - - Harmony Stream With - -Bearswipe, Swansong, Jadepaw, Lightfall, Shadowstorm [Fallenleaves nimble ~Skyblaze~ Copperstar☂ ]
Walnutpaw let out a whimper at the sight of Lightfall yanking Flamehearts limp body away. Their very own deputy had sacrificed himself so that Nightstar and his clanmates could get away. A true warriors death. Yet his mind drifted right to the fact that Applenose was probably sitting in camp, anxiously waiting for Flamehearts return. All she would have, is his body and a night sitting vigil for him. He started to move forwards, body shaking and fur bristling. He suddenly remembered Wildmane. Where had she gone.? "Wildmane.? Wildmane..Where are you.?" He searched for the dark furred molly, knowing she was injured and probably needed help to camp.
Thistletongue nudged Brindlebriar and pointed with his tail towards Flameheart's body. He then limped towards the dead deputy, tail dragging. His paw was still bleeding from his ripped claw. "Come, Brindle. Lets go take Flameheart home." Upon reaching the orange and white body, he dipped down and pushed his shoulders under the top half of Flameheart's body. "Lightfall, Swansong...Make sure everyone else gets out. Trail behind the group. Make sure no one falls or gets left behind. Cobrastorm..Get Nightstar home."

Brindles fur rose as they watched the last moments of the battle. Lives were in danger. Thistletongue jumped to her side, his eyes wild. Get out of here. He threatened, pushing her away, yet she was rooted to her spot. The animal was getting ready to roll on the cats that were around it. Apprentices, mothers, fathers, kits. Her fur rose as she watched what was unfolding before her. Death. More death. Her leaders order to retreat rang through her ears. Jumping to a low hanging branch for safety, she waited, eyes wide in shock. They had barely done any damage. Nightstar was wounded, Thistletongue was wounded.. Flameheart... FLAMEHEART. She panicked. The clans deputy was in the jaws of the creature. Disgust and anger filled the pit of her stomach with horror as she watched the creature throw the deputy like a kit. He was dead. Her heart beat was so fast she could no longer feel it inside her chest. Nightstars anguish rang in her soul. The pain of loss was great. Once the animal was in the water, Thistletongues voice whispered in the back of her head. Turning her sad gaze on him, she nodded. Flameheart needed to come home one last time before joining his new Clan. With her tail dragging the ground in defeat, she slowly creeped towards the Deputies lifeless body. Tears welled up in her eyes as she lifted Flamehearts body along side her mate. She thanked Starclan they were alive, but cured them for not giving them the victory they fought so hard for. Carefully nudging her nose under the dead cats flank, she breathed in his warmth one last time. "Flameheart.." She whimpered. She could feel every cats sorrow and pain as if it where her own. Nodding to Thitletongue, a que that she was ready to head back to camp.

In Camp & Open to all- Mentions Bluepaw @secane Lightning had barely been able to get his mind right since his mother passed. Nightstar had called for the clan to fight the water monster. Elders were sick. His head felt like it was swimming. His clan was falling apart. Sitting alone near his sisters den, his heart ached. All too sudden, he could faintly hear his leader and sisters cry of anguish. Jumping to his paws, he began to pace. Soemthing went wrong. He knew he couldnt leave camp, but sitting here waiting was unsettling. Turning his head, he caught sight of his apprentice, Bluepaw, who he had painfully fogotten the past moon. "Bluepaw!" He called, hoping to get the young cats attention. "I need you to come." He mewed, not sure of what to do next. His sister needed him, so he would get his apprentice to get things ready here at camp for the wounded cats that were sure to return.
