(They just were at the edge of the border fences, basically, but if the actual place is a barn, say it’s a barn then lol. Diamondheart will be back real quick, he’s just going back a bit to try and help Echo, Tiny and Little)

(XD Frozen and I talked about a barn, so I just assumed. I say we go with barn, it would be easier for the Clan to defend and find food if that's the case. Plus, hay for kits!)
Frostlake blinked back at Eelshock to make sure the young warrior was following with Lakekit in his jaws. Upon seeing the barn that Diamondheart found, her heart sunk a bit. It wasn't home and it reeked of twolegs, but at least it was shelter.
Deadpath was slowly hobbling after Smogstorm. It was hard to follow her with a kit in his jaws. Thankfully, Maskkit didn't squirm too much. I just hope Ottermask is ok. He thought about his uncle with worry tightening his gut.

(Sounds good!)
Smogstorm panted lightly as she carried Mintkit, the strain of the trip wearing heavily on the crippled queen. Even so, she did not voice a noise of complaint, instead focusing on purring to keep her kits calm. She gave Deadpath a grateful look.
Brookheart padded slowly towards Splashstorm, Reedheart and the newcoming loner. He looked questioningly at them, a guarding look in his eyes as he looked at Pepper.
Owlwhisker paced, his paws itching before he looked up at the barn. Twolegs, the former rouge knew, built these to keep yellow grass and large animals from getting cold. There would be plenty of mice here, though his mind wandered to Tinypool and Littleshadow, hoping the two warriors would come back safely with Echosplash.

Obsidian yowled, trying to free herself from the twolegs. She looked back desperately for her kits, not wanting to lose them. Blizzard squeaked in fear, his eyes were barely open and everything was fuzzy. He didn’t understand what was going on and cried out for his mother. Nightmare huddled against Shadow, her eyes still firmly shut. boop) |

Nightmare huddled against Shadow, her eyes still firmly shut. boop) (Oh snap oops 😂) The twoleg pulled tighter, pushing the dark queen into the crate. It quickly unlooped the stick and closed the grate of the carrier. The second twoleg began to place the kits one by one into another smaller crate. It reached out for Shadow and Nightmare, picking them up to place them with their brother and sister. “Get my father! Now!” Revy hissed quietly to a few members of the group, watching them rush off to find the leader. In the meanwhile, the dark tom began to scale up the rusted ladders on the building side, aiming towards the roof. |

Deadpath blinked back at Smogstorm, hoping she didn't realize how tensed and worried he was. When they reached the barn. He nodded over toward a pile of hay that Frostlake and her kits were near.

Lol it’s okay.)
Obsidian crashed against the twoleg contraption, hissing furiously.
Nightmare wailed as she was picked up, her heart racing.

“Mama! What is this place!” Mintkit exclaimed as she was settled down near Frostlake’s kits. Smogstorm hobbled a bit before moving to groom her kit’s heads.
“We are in a twolegnest, little ones.”
The twoleg grumbled lightly as it began to carry the crate back to the white monster. The second twoleg closed the grate, trapping the kits inside before moving to place the crate right next to Obsidian’s.
Shadow cowered quietly, jumping a bit as Harlow’s violet eyes began to open, just like her mother and brother. She gave a loud squeak, shoving at Nightmare and Blizzard.

"Why did we leave the camp?" Maskkit looked up at his mother when Deadpath set him down. "I don't like it here."
Lakekit remained by his mother, pressing into her fur, but he watched Mintkit and Maskkit.
Eelshock moved over to the entrance of the barn, realizing that Ashfaith hadn't made it back yet.

“I know, love.” Smogstorm sighed softly, before she moved to press her muzzle to her son’s head.
“We are here because a fire was coming. Fire is dangerous, and it eats and hurts all the plants, and can hurt us too. Earthstar sent us here to keep us safe.”

"Oh..." Maskkit pouted softly, but from the look in his eyes, he understood. "What about father?" he glanced at Deadpath and wasn't encouraged by the warrior's wince. Maskkit looked back at his mother. "Where's father?"

Smogstorm's heart clenched as she looked at her son. She mewed assuringly. "Your father is back near camp, helping other cats get to this place. He's doing something very brave, so can you promise me that you'll be very kind to him when he comes to see us real soon?" She asked, sweeping her tail around Mintkit and Maskkit.

Obsidian kept throwing herself at the crate, trying to open it so she could get out and get to her kits.
Nightmare was crying loudly now, trying to find her mother. She squealed when Harlow jostled her.

"Yes, I did. Fire is dangerous. But a Warrior understands the dangers before them...and sometimes they must be unafraid to face them, if it means protecting others." Smogstorm explained, honest as possible with her son. "Your father is doing his duty for the clan."
The twolegs closed the back doors of the monster, stepping around to enter into its belly. After a few moments, it roared to life and began to move, ever so slightly jostling the crates.
Revy cursed deeply as he peered down from the roof, watching the monster move down the thunderpath. He peered after it, making sure to memorize what direction it was going in. Once his father returned, he would be able to help guide his direction.
Axel stopped, a few paces from the edge of the border. Across the patchy grass, and down the slopes, the Crowpiles were swamped in black soot and smoke. A disgusting odor filled the air and Axel could only scowl with distaste. It was genuinely surprising though, how many twoleg monsters and flames were surrounding the area, controlled by streams of water. He glanced out, peering far across the land, to where he knew the clan cats resided. He scoffed lightly at how clearly decimated the land was. Not that he cared for the wretched scraps of fur.

Maskkit glanced at his sister with worry. "But he'll be back right? Father will be okay?"

Maskkit glanced at his sister with worry. "But he'll be back right? Father will be okay?" “Yeah!...He’ll be back, won’t he?” Mintkit fretted, her little ears pinned back with fear. “Yes.” Smogstorm nodded firmly. She knew her mate, knew how hard he would push to keep Riverclan and himself out of harm. She knew he was strong, in every sense of the word, and she knew she would wait for him, as long as it took. “He will be back, and we will be here for him.” |

Pepper let out a small laugh that was followed with coughing once more. "Just thought I would ask. I'll leave you all alone as soon as I get enough strength to walk again." She laid down, tucking her paws beneath her and closing her eyes as she focused on merely resting and breathing. In this pose in was obvious how thin the she-cat was, her hips jutting out and her ribs showing through her dense, matted fur that was surely full of fleas and ticks by now. Her breathing was ragged and rattled in her chest and the she-cat had to cough now and then, always bringing up mucus that had built up in her throat up to the surface.

“No you’ll leave now.” Reedheart grumbled. “We don’t need an annoying rogue to deal with.” He spoke. “So scram before we chase you off.”

"Wait, Reedheart." Brookheart murmured calmly, stepping near the she-cat with a flicker of concern in his eyes. "We do not need to chase anyone off, certainly not if they are sickly." He turned to look at Pepper. "Reedheart does have a point though...I can amend your desire to assist us, but we are only here temporarily, and our clan is sufficient without outside assistance." The blue tom shook his head lightly.
"How long have you been sickly, loner?"

Pepper looked up at the blue tom and gave a small smile. "Since birth. I was sold to some two-legs when I was 6 weeks old and they took care of me fora while. Then they suddenly move and left me behind and my health went back to being really bad." The she-cat coughed once more and her tail twitched lightly behind her as she did. "I have really bad breathing and get fevers easily, plus I'm really weak and have bad bones. Swimming helps ease the pain and clear my breathing some. That's what I was headed to do when I found you all."

Stormsplash stood next to Reedheart and Brookheart, watching Pepper carefully. "I would recommend not going into the forest for a while. Everything has been burned." he mewed neutrally.
Tinypool wanted to collapse from the weight of Echosplash's body and the sorrow she felt by the time they reached the barn. "We should hide her body outside.. I don't want the kits to see it."
Littleshadow assisted Tinypool in gently lowering Echosplash's body to the ground, staying silent.

“It’s not our problem you were foolish enough to be with two legs.” Reedheart growled at the rogue. “And it’s not our problem you’re sick.” He spoke. “Now get moving.”

Brookheart had been ready to respond to both Pepper and Reedheart, but the sound of rustling interrupted his thoughts. His eyes widened as he saw Echosplash be placed down by Tinypool and Diamondheart. Brookheart’s tail fell with greif, and he knew that Echosplash must have made it to Starclan.
“No.” He agreed with Stormsplash firmly, though his voice shook a bit, knowing the tom would be in a great deal of pain. He looked at Pepper and mewed.
“Do not go into the forest right now. Not even the water will help, if smoke gets in your mouth.” He instructed.
Diamondheart gave a solemn nod at Tinypool’s words, making sure they were away from the inside of the barn. He could see the eyes of his clanmates though, and he took a deep breath, prepared to console them.
“I must organize the clan.” He mewed.
