Chapter 8
(Riverleopard^)
Moth's pov
I watch Chestnutcloud and Flametwig's kits run around, there's Brindlekit, a brown-golden she-kit with yellow-blue eyes. Brindlekit is very active and I enjoy that, she loves to listen, i watch her help around camp, she'll make a fine warrior someday.
Then there's Marigoldkit, a golden-ginger she-kit with blue eyes, i adore Marigoldkit because she's the perfect mix of her parents, sweet and gentle, i feel like she would make a good medicince cat though.
Finally Burnkit, a orange tabby tom with yellow eyes, Burnkit is sadly on the medicine cat's watch. His mother is so old that when his littermates were born first he barley made it, Coalpaw says he has trouble breathing but everyone believes neither Nutkit nor Burnkit will make it.
I'm jump out of my thoughts and pad over to the kits. "Want to play a game?" Marigoldkit and Brindlekit look up, Burnkit glanced at me but didn't move. "What kind of game?" Brindlekit asks. "A game of warriors" the kits eyes immediately brighten up.
"Can Willowkit play?" Burnkit asks. "Ask Brackenspots" the small tom hobbles away soon returning with the older kit. Burnkit smiles in satisfaction, probably from making it to the medicince cat's den.
Willowkit look at me. "Who's team am i on?" she asks as Burnkit goes off to play with Nutkit. "You'll be with Brindlekit" i meow, she nods and joins Brindlekit, Marigoldkit ran to my side. "What's the plan?" she asks. "You go for your sister" she nods and we turn to face the others.
"Go!" i pounce at Willowpaw who side steps and attempts to jump on my back, i twist around and throw her off. She pounces at me and i duck then twists around, rolling over onto my back, and then springs to my paws.
The kits looked at me. "Where did you learn that?!" they ask, i chuckle. "Apprentice training" sadly Flametwig called and the kits left, Willowkit touched her nose to my shoulder before going to the medicine cat's den.
I sigh and grab a squirrel before sitting alone to eat, i was fine until a grey and white tabby she-cat sat beside me. "Riverleopard?" Riverleopard use to be a warrior but left Shadowclan and became a rouge who visits us.
"You guessed correct" she purrs, i nuzzle the warrior i never met until now, she chuckles. "Let me guess, you're Mothpaw?" i raise my head in pride. "The one and only!" she chuckles. "Nice to meet you" i nod and we sit in silence.

The sound of crackling brings me from my sleep, i look up to see the other apprentices awake, Starlingpaw and Furrpaw curled together in fear, Featherpaw curled into my side, Shellpaw, Tigerpaw, and Coalpaw getting up.
I get up and look outside the den, Riverleopard shouts out. "Fire!" by now everyone is awake. I follow after Tigerpaw who runs out to Craneflight. "Mothpaw, Tigerpaw, follow the warriors" she orders. We nod and run after the warriors who fled the camp. I screech in horror as already dead trees start to fall, i jump back from one, almost struck down.
"Mothpaw!" I turn to see Lakestripe, i follow him to see Coalpaw with Burnkit in his mouth. "Go Go Go!" we continue to run after our clanmates, i hear a snap and look up to see a branch. "Look out!" but it was too late, the branch fell and struck down multiple warriors.
With no time to mourn and fire flaring behind us we continue to run, carefully jumping over the flames. I spot Emberstar, Ferretfeather, Coalpaw and Featherpaw ahead, i quickly run to catch up, the rest of the group behind me.
I was almost there when a screech stops me, i turn to see a small body slithering away, i glance at my running clan and quickly slip off after the hurt cat. i chase after them, their tail the other visible thing to me, their pawsteps silent compared to the loud fire.
A hiss is heard as a loud snapping noise goes off and the cat changes direction, starting to loose them i try running faster, ashes making me slip all over the place, smoke filling my lungs making me loose my breath.
The body eventually gets smashed by a branch, i gasp and try to help the cat but the big branch is flaming, burning the cat alive, i look away and follow the trail back. Before i can go far, small, suffocated meows fill my ears. I cough and go to find the kits i'm guessing the cat was going for.
I turn left and see a small pool of water, i quickly head over and stand in the water, grimacing but thankfully lapping the water up, i look up and see the kits. They laid in some water soaked moss, old enough to get up and run but they seem terrified, i cant tell how many sense the fire blurred my vision but i make out at least two.
I look up to see the tree they're hidden under about to collapse, i run over as fast as i can, hoping to save them. Last second as the loud snapping and crackling of the fire gets louder i dive for it, i get inside and try to get the kits to move when all tree collapsed.
