~Rusty Ember, now a Fire~(open, may become a death topic)

Wolf was out taking a walk. She was half conscous she might be on clan territory, due to the shifting of smell that had happened hence she left the moorland. The sunclad boulders gained her attention as they came into view, and the young cat went to investigate them. She cauciously slid across them, her paws scrapping the stone. Then she heard the wail of a kit and she was nearly scared out of her fur, but kept her ground. Wolf went forward until she found the motionless blsy of the kit, glad that she could still breathe.
Struggling to lift the youngster, due tk the fact she was young herself, the rogue proceeded into dragging her away from the stones. Hopefully, they'll reach the barn in time.

Ooc:YASSS! I'm way too exited about someone posting on my first thread.
Rustie was drifting out of consiousness and unconsciousness. She could feel being lifted and being jarred. Soft fur...

Blizzardshine was on one of her lone walks across the territory, walks that she used to do fairly often before. With Frozenflame’s retirement and Darkstar sudden illness, she was chosen to be the one leading the clan until the leader healed, and that meant that she was a lot busier than ever before. She had to admit that she was sincerely worried for Darkstar, the medicine cat claimed that she could heal, that she just needed time…but some time had passed since the day that she had to retire to her den because of that illness and the leader hadn’t gotten any better.

Taking a deep breath to clear those thought away, she decided to enjoy this free time, not knowing how long it would last. The peace, however, was interrupted by the distressed yowl of another cat not far away. Without losing a second, the white she-cat darted towards the source of the sound, noticing that she was getting closer to Snakerocks…this place was really dangerous, everyone in ThunderClan knew it, and a yowl like that, coming from this place, could only mean terrible things.

Her eyes landed on two young kits…dear StarClan, they were just way too young to be there all on their own. Their smell told her that they didn’t belonged to any clan, and the collar on one of them was enough to let her know that she was a kittypet, but Blizzardshine couldn’t care less. The kittypet was clearly unconscious and probably injured, and the other cat was trying to drag her away from the adder-infested stones. Without thinking it twice, she padded towards them as quickly as she could without risking herself to not see an adder and get bitten “Hey!” She immediately tried to get the non-collared cat’s attention “Behind me and don’t you dare to step anywhere I don’t, ok? This place is full of venomous adders and I don’t want you to get bitten” She immediately picked up the unconscious cat by the scruff, not without having some trouble to do so thanks to the collar, to let the non-collared cat move freely. She started to carefully walk across the stones, more than once having to change directions after she spotted, smelled or heard an adder nearby, trying to guide the two kits to safety as quickly as possible.

Bat had come back from his hunt to find Wolf gone. He told Pepper and ran quickly following the scent he had known only for a moment. His legs screamed in protest as he sped through ThunderClan territory, most likely alerting every patrol in the area. Finally, her scent grew strong, a pile of dusty rocks was off to the side when he stepped into view. His fur was messy and he started wheezing almost instantly, lungs dry and overwhelmed after the sudden burst of adrenaline past. "W...wolf." he raped before taking in a deep breath, trying to unscramble his mind and settle his heart.

Ooc: mobile

Wolf almost dropped the other kit as she saw the warrior coming at them. She was glad she took the weight away from her, and glad that she didn't smell of ShadowClan anymore, to be recognized by the she-cat and sent home. Wolf followed her carefully, afraid to have the same fate as the kittypet in the ThunderClanner's jaws. She perked her ears when she heard Bat, but tried to stay low and not react. She just turned her head slightly to show him she was alright. He couldn' risk to be seen trespassing by the older she-cat just for her, it woupd've been madness to risk all of that.

Blizzardshine would’ve felt a lot more relieved when they finally reached the safe zone at the borders of Snakerocks if the unconscious she-cat she was holding didn’t confirmed her fears with her words. Hoping that she was just exaggerating sheplaced her in the ground to check on her, though by doing so she just realized that she had been telling the truth. An adder had managed to reach her, though not exactly bite her. Blizzardshine was no Medicine cat, so she had no idea of how serious this was for the small kit “She needs the attention of a Medicine Cat right away…I’m…I’ll take her to camp, Dreamleaf should be able to help her” The white she-cat said almost to herself in an attempt to convince herself that Dreamleaf would be able to do something for her. Hesitation was clear on Blizzardshine’s words, knowing that most cats in the clan would like to see her arriving to the clan with a rogue and carrying a kittypet, regardless of their age, but unless the kit had a better idea, which she thought she didn’t, she had no other option.

The voice of Bat made her tur her head and look at him. Under normal circumstances she would’ve confronted the rogue to know what he was doing there, but right then and there she had more important things to worry about, she had to save the kit’s life somehow.

Bat's gaze was wary, his own as well as Pepper's experiences with clans had brought death soon after. He didn't-wouldn't let that happen again so soon. He made a wide circle around the rocks, fur rising along his slim back when he stood a few fox lengths away from the trio. He gave Wolf a hard look, guarded in every sense if the word. Then, he looked at the obvious warrior, not sure what he should do. He wasn't sure what had happened. The warrior wasn't harming Wolf, yet. Could he even approach them?

Wolf's heart didn't stop humping in her chest with horror, not even when sb reached the safe ground alongside the ThunderClan cat. She was too worried for the younger kit to relax and enjoy the fact she was not bitten by an adder as well, but she ackonledged it with relief. Meeting eyes with the black rogue, who seemed like he had done some sneakjng arlund the rocks, Wolf caught sight of his stern expression, and she tried to mouth something to him, that she was okay and that the warrior was only helping, but it must've been in vain, her small mouth not visible from the distance, probably.

"N-no, I can take her to Pepper, she'll make her right! She's right over the WindClan territory, in the abandonned barn!" she protested, flicking her tail over the moorland beyond them. The kit didn't have much time, she would be dead soon if they didn't do anything.

OOC: Mothpaw's adopted baby!! Noooooo!!!!

IC: Mothpaw followed Blizzardshine. She was near by when she heard the call for help.

"Pepper! Bat! Wolf! Don't move!!" A white tome with black spots and yellow eyes meowed. He ran forwards and leaped in front of Wolf and batted something away. "Wolf you need to be more careful! You almost died!" Jasper meowed narrowing his eyes and hissing at an adder. His tail lashed and the young tom was tempted to get behind the snake and grab it by the back of the neck near it's head. He growled as it hissed back and moved a little bit. Suddenly hw was doing exactly what he wanted and grabbed the adder behind its head and bit down as hard as he could. All these cats were attracting all these snakes.

Ooc:I don't think I want to kill her... her life force is growing into a FIRE, after all. (Hint hint Firekit)
Rustie was starting to wake up. She looked down, and saw her bleeding legs starting to go an ugly black-blue. "Who- who are you?" She stuttered. "A meany-weany snake scratched my legs, and it hurts. Is there a vet nearby?" There were quite a few cats now. Could her legs be THAT BAD?

“Pepper?” Blizzardshine looked at Wolf, then Bat, as she remembered her time as an apprentice. It has been during that time that she had met Pepper and even saw her when she gave birth to Scorchfrost’s kits. She hadn’t seen her since then, but she still considered her a great cat and a friend “Well, whoever are friends with Pepper are my friends” She said with a smile before looking at the kittypet and nodding “I know where the barn is, I was born there. I’ll carry the kittypet there, please come with me-” She was cut midsentence by another rogue, causing her to jump in surprise. She had to admit that she was glad that he appeared, given that she had been too focused on the kittypet to notice the approaching adder, though the injured kit's words soon forced her to return her attention to her “I…we’ll find the time to introduce and thank each other later, we need to move now or this kit may die!” She meowed, clearly impatient and worried before picking up the kittypet once more, walking towards the Abandoned Barn through the path she knew so well, she could explain her clan why she would arrive later than expected once this was taken care of. She just hoped that the other cats would follow her and not stay there on their own, she wouldn’t like them to get in trouble with the rest of her clan.

Mothpaw followed Blizzardshine a worried look on her face.

Jasper spit out the dead adder and padded back over to Wolf. He nudged her as if to tell her that they should go.

Bat padded along the warrior, glancing down at Wolf occasionally. There was a big problem right now. Besides the kit of course. Wolf had just revealed their home to multiple warriors. The poor thing probably didn't realize how dangerous that was. If the clan that owned that territory found out, they'd be stuck, killed or driven out into Leafbare. Pepper's chances of survival would be greatly decreased, she wouldn't last more than a few moons if that.
