Lionkit woke up and stretched. Wolfkit was outside playing mossball with their neighbors in the nursery,Applekit and Pinekit. "Hey Wolfkit,Applekit,and Pinekit." Lionkit casually greeted them. "What's up! Wanna play moss ball with us?" Pinekit asked. "Sure!" Lionkit replied, joining in. Pinekit passed the ball to her and she passed it to Applekit. Then Applekit passed it to Wolfkit. They kept playing until Sandflower, one of the queens began to shout,"Fire!Fire! There's a fire near the training hollow!" "Get everyone out now! Get the kits,queens, and elders first!" Froststar ordered. Cats ran around, trying to gather the kits and elders. "This way!" Badgerface, the deputy called out, pointing to the gorse tunnel. Elders and kits flooded through with the queens,warriors and leader behind them. "Is Willowwhisp out yet?" Froststar asked Badgerface. "No. She left to collect catmint a while age." Badgerface said. "Gather Bearface,Sharpclaw,and MidnightStorm. We will find Willowwhisp. You get the others to the river. I'll meet you there. "Froststar ordered. "Yes Frostar." Badgerface replied,then dipped his head and went to fetch them. They ran to Froststar. He said,"Let's go. The fire is moving closer." Then led them to Willowwhisp's favorite catmint patch. When they got there they found that the fire had spread and a blazing tree had fallen over the patch. Froststar heard a yowl then said," This way!" and leaped into the flames.  He landed on a patch of dirt mixed with ashes. He saw Willowwhisp trapped under a branch with the fire scorching her bluegray fur. He grabbed her scruff and tried to pull her out, but she was stuck. "Dig!Dig under the branch! It should loosen it enough to free me!" Willowwhisp shouted in pain. Froststar furiously began to dig. The branch started to come loose. Willowwhisp wriggled out and said,"Thanks, Froststar. Now come on! Let's get out of here before we roast alive!" Then they leaped over the flame engulfed log and ran in the direction of the river.
