The loud yowls and screeches sounded through the forest. The crackling of the growing flames engulfed the bark from the trees. ''Blossompaw!'' a voice echoed in panic, panting heavily. A tortoiseshell she-cat lurched from the fire, her eyes in a emerald blaze. ''No! Blossompaw, don't give up on me now!'' the tortoiseshell cat heaved up Blossompaw onto her shoulders. She launched into the midst of where the fire had started, her fur singed as she went past it in a beautiful stride. She dropped down Blossompaw near the river, splashing the water onto her fur. Blossompaw blinked, her optics narrowing to look at Brownfeather. ''Just close your eyes, you'll be alright..'' Brownfeather cried. ''But, will you and I be safe and sound?'' Blossompaw blinked, tears rolling from her whiskers. ''Please, leave me, save the rest of them.'' her frail body went limp, shuttering from the smoke inhalation. ''Step aside.'' a shadowed tom approached closer. He tilted Blossompaw's head upwards, then shaking his head. ''This is bad, stay here, watch her.'' he ordered to Brownfeather, as she nodded to him, he bounded away. It was several minutes until he returned, a leaf in his jaws with a yellow-orange liquid oozing from it. He lifted up her head again, pouring the honey down her throat easily. Shalepaw wrinkled her nose, forcing herself to swallow. ''She will live.'' the tom padded back into the fire's scorching flames.
