Comfreyheart

Thunderclan Territory

She ended the quails’ lives swiftly, and proudly. She always felt great when she got to contribute to the fresh-kill pile. The warrior gathered the fowl with quick thanks to Starclan. Now it was time to return. As she padded through the forest, excited to see her family and friends, she suddenly felt like something was off. She narrowed her gold eyes at the rumbling ground before leaning down to inspect its grassy coat. She had never seen something like this before, but it reminded her of distant thunderstorms. Soon everything began to shake vigorously, causing Comfreyheart to reel back.

Stars above what’s happening?!?!

There Comfreyheart stood with her legs wide, stabilizing herself against the snarling earth. The pair of quails lay nearby, having been knocked out of her maw by the tremors. As the warrior went to retrieve one she felt and heard a deafening crack under her paws, like some giant fox had stepped on the forest as if a fallen bird’s nest. Urgency coursed through her. She needed to get home right now. As she turned to dart for the other fresh-kill she heard the groan and creak of a tree. She knew what that meant, and that she didn’t have time to lose. With her last heartbeat of a second the molly leapt.

CRASH

Comfreyheart was not awake. Her onyx form lay in the Thunderclan leaves, caught under an oak branch. Blood pooled from her. She was barely breathing, but nonetheless, alive. The cat was lucky, as only a single back-leg was crushed by the trunk. The rest of her was simply asleep, floating on the edge of Starclan. A large gash stretched across her back, from which a steady stream leaked out. It was unknown how much time she had left. The stars had graced her with a second chance, but it was up to her beloved Thunderclan, the clan she worked relentlessly for, to return the favor. She wished it wasn’t this way, she wished she was at camp protecting her family, but that’s unfortunately not the case. Starclan’s speed, dear Thunderclan.

The earth shattered like a car crash. Moosepaw ran through the woods, weaving as best as he could. There was chaos and nothing stopping it. Could it be felt even in the city? Who knew, and who cared?

The camp was shaken, but alive. Most were accounted for. Except one.

The all black molly who met him. Proud, confident, where was she?

He sprinted the territory, leaving Thistlemask behind. The fiery red tomcat scanned his surroundings. She had to be here somewhere--

Blood. He'd recognize that smell anywhere.

He swiveled, running on adrenaline. It had to be close.

Moosepaw spotted a felled tree, with sick carmine and black fur underneath.

No...

His heart dropped to his paws, to the earth, to the cracks in the earth.

Then, her little ribcage raised.

She was alive!

Moosepaw shoved the trunk with full force, dislodging the warrior. Hardly a patcher, he had no idea what to do other than blood was bad. The apprentice scooped her gently onto his back, taking care not to jostle the injured leg.

He had to get back.

"Thistlemask! It's Comfreyheart. She's hurt!"

His tone was desperate and pleading.

Was there enough time?

He took her on his back and ran towards camp, his paws taking him as quickly as they could.

The trek to Fourtrees had been more arduous than previously anticipated, the shaking of the earth felling and uprooting a number of trees and branches, heavily changing the layout of a territory she once would have been able to cross with her eyes completely shut and moss stuffed in her ears. Everything felt quite unstable, whether it actually was or was a side effect of the world shaking beneath her paws like a sickly kit just moments ago. Moosepaw had quickly overtaken her, visibly motivated by fear, though she recognised it was not for the event they had just experienced - no, he was looking for someone. Comfreyheart... Her half-sister hadn't been present in camp as she left.

In an instant, Moosepaw had charged off in a direction not matching that of Fourtrees, and she bounded after him, her stomach dropping at the strong scent of blood. For a moment, the attack on ShadowClan flashed in her mind. And after what her father had become - was this an attack? Was the order back?

Darting between debris, she lost sight of the large tom. A harsh cry caught her off-guard, fur raising in terror as she forced herself to run faster, eyes widening as she came across the scene. Comfreyheart.. Bile rose in her throat. Moosepaw had positioned the warrior on his back, making for camp, but they were all about to depart for Fourtrees - he couldn't go back to camp and waste all that time- she took off after him, raising her voice as best she could.

"No! Moosepaw! Head for Fourtrees, the clan will be there. Fawnshine will be there, she can help her - I'll run ahead to get her-- just get Comfreyheart there now!" The shout was commanding, hoping her voice would catch his ears. Regardless of if he heard, she tore back towards camp, blood pounding in her ears. It didn't matter if the way was safe, they needed to go, and they needed help now.

Moosepaw heard the garbled words of his mentor, barely through the breeze and woods. He only nodded as he prayed to everything he ever knew, hoping the sleek black cat on his back could be saved.

Running as fast as he could, he barrelled towards the four gnarled oak trees he spotted on his way to find Crimsonpaw. He only hoped it would be enough.
