When Shit Went Down (Warrior Cat FanFic)

Chapter 16 - Gooseleg's POV

"Settle down everyone!" OCDstar ordered, but the insane cats didn't listen. They continued to run around in circles whilst screaming. 

OCDstar's tail was whipping from side to side, but not out of anger. It was clear to me that he was very anxious and unsure of what he should do. Things that were out of order and messy made him edgy and very nervous, as if someone had put a dog claw to his throat. OCDstar started breathing rapidly as the Clan continued to panic. 

Bluecloud was trying to calm down Toomanypersonalitiesstorm, but he wouldn't have it. "Toomanypersonalitiesstorm, please. The fire will kill you only if we don't evacuate!" She pleaded, nudging him toward the camp entrance. "My name is Steve, you dumb bitch!" He scoffed, whipping his head the other way out of disgust. He plopped his butt onto the ground and refused to move, then began to ignore the grey she-cat.

"Toomany-" The guard started. 

"No." 

"I swear-" 

"I. Said. No." He snarled.

Kissmyass was trying to settle Icantbelieveimnotbutterface while he stood in one spot, screaming. "I'M GOING TO MELT!! I'M GOING TO DIEEEEE!!" He cried out, "IF DEADCLAN HAS CHOSEN MY FATE, THEN SO BE IT! I AM BUTTER - A BEAUTIFUL CREATURE - AND I AM GOING TO MELT AND SEASON THE ASHES WITH MY BUTTERY SELF!!" I sighed and shook my head. How many times do we have to tell you, you're a goddamn cat, not Twoleg-made butter? I wondered.

As I gazed around, I noticed Lightpaw and Darkpaw were no where to be seen. We should have started doing roll-calls a long time ago. I haven't seen them in days... I realized, a pang in my heart forming as I noticed they could have been gone for moons and no one would have noticed with all the commotion going on recently. 

I hurried over to Kissmyass, but she didn't seem to noticed I was there. She was too busy comforting Icantbelieveimnotbutterface as he panicked. I then ran over to OCDstar as he stood in one spot, eyes wide and fur on end. I waved my tail in his face and he blinked away his thoughts. 

"Where are Darkpaw and Lightpaw? I haven't seen them for a while..." I asked loudly. His eyes glistening with a pure anxiety. Maybe asking him wasn't the best idea at the moment? "Um, nevermind," I muttered, stalking away.

As I looked around the hectic campground, I ended up bumping into the little she-cat that believed she could see beyond our universe. Iseedeadpeoplewhisker gazed up at me with wide, scared eyes. "I see the future." She murmured so low I almost didn't catch what she had said. "What?" I asked, narrowing my eyes. "We're all dead. That's how I see us." Then she padded away. Not once did she blink as she hurried off. 

Snakeslither ran after her, but I highly doubted they were coming back. "You fucking idiot! This is all your fault, Fartcloud!" Ineedmorebigmacsbelly screamed, his fur fluffed up and his ears flat to his fat head. "This is why no one likes you and your stinky asshole. Because you start shit like this!" I rolled my eyes. Fartcloud curled her tail around her hind legs and shrunk down self-consciously. Such a bully. I thought, shaking my head. 

"Listen up!" I yelled halfheartedly, expecting them to turn around instantly. A growl rose up my throat. "LISTEN THE FUCK UP." I yelled. It was such a powerful yell that I - without meaning to - lowered my upper body and let it out. They finally stopped running and screeching to see what was up. 

I glanced around the camp, then began lecturing them, "We need to evacuate the campground immediately or you wi-" My sentence was finished by a coughing spell. The smoke was now entering our camp, and soon the flames would be eating everything that was in it, too. Other cats were coughing now, too. 

"My... name... is... BOB!" With each word, Toomanypersonalitiesstorm's voice escalated and his nose inched closer to Greenshit's muzzle. Like a small mouse, Greenshit replied, "But... it was Steve a few heartbeats ago..." Toomanypersonalitiesstorm glared sharply at the tom. 

OCDstar looked from side to side frantically, then bolted out of the camp. Bluecloud looked me in the eye, then ran after him. 

I turned away from the entrance of the camp when I heard a sobbing noise coming from the fresh-kill pile. There, laying with his fat sprawled out everywhere, was Ineedmorebigmacsbelly laying there, whimpering softly as he stuffed his face. "What are you doing?? We have to evacuate!" I snapped from across the clearing. He didn't even lift his head to see who said it, he just muttered, "No time... must... eat..." 

"Come on, Kissmyass, we have to go. They might follow if-" I started, trying to nudge my apprentice away. She refused. "I'm not leaving without these cats! I've lived with them since I was born, and I am going to die with them if I have to!" 

I bowed my head and backed away slowly, angry that she refused my order. "Fine then, die for all I care..." I growled as I headed out of the camp. Greenshit and Fartcloud hurried in after me. Bloodpiss did the same thing that OCDstar did, glance from side to side nevously, then ran out of camp as if thinking "Should I stay, or should I go?"

Soon, we were dashing through the smokey forest. My eyes stung and my paws burned. With the heavy clouds of smoke coming from all sides, I began to feel dizzy. Branches and bushes whacked me several times in the face and body, but I didn't care. Adrenaline pulsed through my scrawny body, giving me a sensation that I wanted to last forever.

The four of us eventually caught up to OCDstar and Bluecloud, but Snakeslither and Iseedeadpeoplewhisker were no where to be found. "I'm sure we will find them after the fire diminishes," Bluecloud reassured no one in particular. I nodded in agreement. 

Together, the small group of WeneedmedicalhelpClan ventured out of the forest and away from the licking flames. The other Clans seemed to have the same idea, as WhoreClan, StonerClan, SassyClan, and the others sat outside of our territories. Huddled together, mothers comforted their whimpering kits. Several cats were coughing up a storm, and I felt my lungs rattling as well. The sky was almost black with smoke. 

Sudden sirens neared the fire. "The Twoleg's will take care of it, Zombiekit." One of SassyClan's queens mewed to her kit. I was sure she had two at one point, but it was obvious there was only one now. 

Two huge red monsters tore into the field. The Clans all ducked down to keep out of sight, but it wasn't like they were looking for anyone in particular. Mydealercutmeoffstar approached OCDstar and I. I had considered myself as a leader ever since I came to WeneedmedicalhelpClan because OCDstar wasn't fit enough, but when I looked at OCDstar then and there, I noticed he was more serious and leader-like than worried for once. 

"Is that all that's left of WeneedmedicalhelpClan or are more coming?" He asked as he looked around the burning forest. We all looked in the same direction, and no matter what we answered with, it was obvious that no one uninjured would come out of the forest anymore. I guess Snakeslither and Iseedeadpeoplewhisker didn't make it. I shook my head.

OCDstar looked the StonerClan leader in the eye and dipped his head to him, "They didn't survive." He answered solemnly, and left it at that.
