Panic in Camp

[Brightstar & Company]

Flowercloud was seperating the borage and tansy when she heard a thump.
"Lazy warriors, always sleeping instead of feeding the clan!" She grumbled out loud.
The pitter-patter of a mouse's feet echoed through her den. She dropped into a hunters crouch and slowly crept foreward, letting each paw lower to the ground slowly. She saw the little scrap eating some of her mint. How dare the little rat! (It's still a mouse) She lept, her paw landing on its tail. She picked it up by its tail and swung her head, making the mouse hit the wall, killing it.
She padded out of her den, setting the mouse in the fresh kill pile. A gasp sounded behind her, so she spun around to see which apprentice batted the other in the head too hard. Stupid little scraps.
But what she saw astounded her. There lay Snowshadow, Four kits were curled beside her.
"Snowshadow!" Flowercloud yowled in surprize. The queen looked strong enought to stand, or wobble. "we need to get you into the nursery!"
The queen looked up at her. "But, my kits."
"I'll get them, now you just get into the nursery!" Flowercloud rushed over to help the weak queen into her nest. Snowshadow struggled to stand but she had a spark of realization as she knew that her kits' lives depended on her getting to her nest.
Just as soon as she got the queen into her nest, she rushed back for the kits. They were squirming in the chill. She curled around them to keep them warm until help could arrive. She couldn't carry more than two kits at a time and if any were left, they would either die of chill or get taken away by a large bird.
No more than a few moments later the bushes at the entrance rustled. It was Cinderpaw!

ooc:// I need Cinderpaw to help Flowercloud move the kits, please. And sorry for any spelling mistakes.

i walked in through the bushes, thinking hard, and passed my mentor, "Oh, hi Flowercloud," I muttered, "Cute kits." I continued walking a few paces before realizing something wasn't right. I walked back to Flowercloud and saw her crouched next to four squirming bundles. "I didn't know you were expecting kits, why aren't they in the nursery?" I joked, but Flowercloud shot me stern look and told me to take SNOWSHADOW'S kits into the nursery. I obediently bent my head to pick up three of the squirming bundles, andstarted to carry them to the nursery, but stopped dead when I reached the entrance.

"What's wrong?" Flowercloud hissed through a mouthful of fur. "Get those kits into the nursery. Do you want them to DIE?!"

[Cinderpaw]

"Uh, I think we have a problem. " I retorted, stepping aside so Flowercloud could see past me. I saw her eyes widen with shock.

Flowercloud looked past Cinderpaw. The rain that had been pouring down all day had swelled the river adn the water had flooded over half of the nursery. Snowshadow was struggling to her paws, clearly weaker than she appeared. Flowercloud set the kit by its mother.
"Cinderpaw, I need you to get some of the strengthening herbs I have in the store. They're in the back cavern." Flowercloud replied a little too calmly. "After you're done, you need to help me get Snowshadow and her kits to that white kittypet's garden. It's on higher ground. And please hurry! There are lives at stake."

[Cinderpaw]

I gently set down the kits I was carrying. "There's plenty of high ground on our territory, why do we have to go crawling to kittypets? Besides, isn't it Brightstar's decision where we go?" Flowercloud turned to face me, and I met her gaze steadily before dashing off to get the strengthening herbs from our stocks.

When Cinderpaw returned with the herbs, I ordered her to give them to Snowshadow and quickly beconed her behind the nursery where Snowshadow couldn't hear us.
She glared at the younger cat. "I don't EVER want to hear you talking to me like that again. Brightstar might control the warriors, apprentices, elders, and kits, but she doesn't controll me! I will do what ever I want when it comes to the wellfare of the Clan. The life of A weak queen and kits are hanging on a very thin string right now." She hissed. "And to tell you the truth, I don't give a mouse's tail wether or not Brightstar likes it."

[Cinderpaw]

"okay, but Twoleg territory is a long way to walk for a weak queen and newborn kits." I said, a little weakly

[Brightstar & Company]

A growl rose in my throat. "You'll take the kits, and I'll help Snowshadow. I've seen that kittypet, she's not like the others, she'll help us."
Before she could hear Cinderpaw's reply, she pelted into the nursery and started helping Snowshadow to the camp entrance.

[Cinderpaw]

I growled inwardly, but knew it was pointless to argue anymore. Instead, I hurried into the nursery, picked up the weakest two kits, and herded the other two in front of me, headed out the nursery, and led them towards, ugh, twoleg territory.
