Stormy Night [Open Clan Event] [Trail by Fire prt. 3]

Occ: is it cool if I RP as an apprentice in the new thread?

Ghostpelt led Cherrypaw and Sagepaw over to the moolit creek

In the relentless rain, Sagepaw didn't notice the long, thick tree branch that hung over him. It swayed back and forth dangerously in the howling wind, threatening to crush anyone beneath it. It wasn't as large as the one that had trapper Crowstar, but it was big nonetheless. Big enough to do some damage.

CRACK!

Like a lightning strike, the unmistakable sound echoed through the camp as the branch gave way and plummeted to the ground. Sagepaw glanced upward with a shriek of terror. The long, heavy branch was headed straight for his sister. Any moment now, it'd hit her. She'd be crippled, or worse if she didn't move within a split second. Thoughts were racing through the tom's head at a million miles an hour, and time seemed to be going in slow motion. What else was there for him to do? In the best case scenario, both him and Cherrypaw would escape the falling branch unharmed, but that looked unlikely. As it was mere inches away from them, he knew what he had to do. "Cherrypaw!" He yelled with all his might, shoving his sister out of harm's way. She'd be safe where she was noe, no matter what happened to him. In that instant, time seemed to speed back up again, and a sharp pain rippled through his body, head to tail. The branch knocked Sagepaw to the ground. Dizzied, he blinked, before the world went black. Still breathing, but unconscious. He could only pray they found him and brought him with them. And he could only pray that Cherrypaw was safe in this storm, no matter what.

And little did he know, that when he would wake up, he'd remember none of it.

Cherrypaw, in the midst of hell, lost her brother somewhere along the way. She held tight to her aunt's tail, gasping now and then for air. When she was near the water, she let go of Ghostpelt and tumbled, near the water. For a few more minutes, she waited for her brother to join her, but after he didn't come, she accepted that he might be giving the others a helping hand. The blind cat settled herself at the edge of the pool, thanking StarClan for her life.

The rain soaked Viperkit's fur, and made it uncomfortable to move.

She trotted along, squinting her eyes against the harsh, cold raindrops and the strong gusts of wind that pushed her backwards. She tried, and every breath she took filled her lungs like cold, suffocating water. As she padded forwards, she looked for Sagepaw and Cherrypaw, the two cats she had been beside. But highest of all, she looked for Crowstar - her grandfather, the leader.

She finally found Cherrypaw. She was just a kit, how in the name of StarClan could she help? "Uhm, hi." Viperkit began, genuinely worried for the blind she-cat. "It's me, Viperkit. Are you okay?" Viperkit's tone was as concerned as any cat would be. She crouched down beside Cherrypaw, not too close. She didn't want to frighten the white apprentice.
