A few days had passed since Jayfeather received his full name. Y/W/N had wanted to spend more time with the tom, but knew she couldn't do much, otherwise some cat would notice them being gone at night if they did it too often.

It's still didn't stop her from trying to ask Jayfeather once about meeting at night again, to which he responded "Don't ask, I cant guarantee anything Y/W/N"

The she-cat was a little disheartened by the response, but understood his reasoning. She guessed maybe every moon or so they could, though it seemed like that would be a long time in between each time.

Currently Y/W/N was sleeping soundly in her nest, barely having gone to sleep when she heard panicked yowls. She opened her eyes, seeing light outside, at first thinking she had slept longer than she felt.

But when she padded out, she saw that the light wasn't because of the sun, it was due to a fire that started in Thunderclan territory, and was rapidly approaching the camp. Cats were scrambling to get out, helping the elders, queens, and kits first.

Y/W/N shuddered but quickly began helping her clan mates get out, feeling terrified by the approaching flames. The clan soon clambered through the bramble barrier and pelted as fast as they could to the lake shore.

Once the clan was a safe distance away from the forest, Y/W/N scanned the group. She could see the entire clan, expect for a few cats. I can't find Jayfeather! She thought in a panic. Given how the medicine cat was blind, she figured he might of had a harder time escaping, but thought he'd still be there, yet Y/W/N couldn't see or scent him.

As terrified of the fire as she was, Y/W/N immediately pelted back towards the camp, ignoring the surprised shouts of her clan mates. By the time she got there, flames had completely engrossed it, and the bramble entryway was completely closed off due to the fire.

Y/W/N began panicking, as she never saw Jayfeather or anyone else on her way back, so she started circling the flaming camp, coughing due to her run and the smoke. The she-cat suddenly heard voices as she came around and sped up to find them.

As Y/W/N dodged around a flaming tree, she could see Squirrelflight arguing with a gray tom, who she realized was Ashfur. As Y/W/N approached, all she heard was Squirrelflight say "They're not my kits!"

Y/W/N stopped, confused, until she looked past Ashfur and realized he was keeping Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather trapped in a circle of flames, blocking the only way out.

Y/W/N immediately felt rageful as she looked at the three siblings, especially Jayfeather, trapped in the fire. Without thinking she pelted forward past Squirrelflight, who gasped before launching herself at Ashfur, able to grab his scruff and drag him away before he realized what was happening and pushed Y/W/N off.

Ashfur scowled but seeing Squirrelflight and Y/W/N ready to fight him, he just backed off and left. The two she-cats then went over and helped Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather our and towards the shore where the rest of the clan was waiting, Y/W/N keeping Jayfeather right against her side, despite him slightly complaining about still being able to walk normally.

Y/W/N sat with Jayfeather, trembling a bit from everything that happened. She held the blind tom close with her tail, completely disregarding any questioning looks she got from her clan mates as they watched the fire burn through Thunderclan territory.

Y/W/N looked over at Jayfeather, who was trying his best to just ignore the fact that the warrior was keeping him close, probably due to the code, and as Y/W/N finally relaxed at seeing the tom safe, she realized how incredibly weak and tired she felt, then she didn't see anything.
