[Ghost the Undead Goddess]

Ebonyheart,

Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams

The ground lurched again, sending the young healer almost tumbling forwards before her wide and flat paws caught a steady hold. There was so much happening around her it was practically impossible for her to keep her thoughts straight while her heart beat wildly and erratically within her chest. 

Starclan had been right, the world was falling down around their ears as the mountain tossed loose rocks and boulders down it's side with each groan from the valley's floor. Cats of all sizes and colors were straggling along behind the inky black she-cat as she was forced to lead them from the trembling of their territory and into what they hoped was the safety of the Tribe's home. 

She paused for a moment, mossy green hues wide with fear and worry. More emotion that usual was emitted among her face as she desperately searched for a familiar matte gray pelt among those still climbing tenderly up the mountainside. She could feel the claws of dread sink into the softness of her belly as his figure was still missing. 

"Ebonyheart! You have to leave now! Stoneclan needs you!" 

His voice had ran within her ears louder than the cracks of the foundation of Stoneclan's camp that were starting to tear into the ground like a massive lynx striking with all it's fury. The look in his green hues, it wasn't an emotion she was sure she could handle seeing upon his normally peaceful and positive face. 

Did... he know something she didn't?

"Birdstar, Stoneclan needs it's leader too!" She snapped in her sharp tone, though the wriggle of fear and distraught was present as her voice wavered from it's normal strength. Though she didn't say it, the look upon her face was clear as day, she needed him too. 

"I'll be fine, but I need you to stay safe." His tone dropped slightly as he stared at her, their green hues locked with each other before he gave a sad smile and reached forwards to nudge her towards the retreating cats of Stoneclan who were currently following Sorrelclaw as the deputy called out commands. 

"Birdstar-"

"Icefang! I need you to protect Ebonyheart!" The matte gray tom called out to his childhood friend before letting his gentle gaze run over the long coated healer one last time before giving her a proper bow. He had always been so respectful towards her, like a tomcat who knew his place when it came to she-cats. "We'll see each other again, I promise." He said quietly before turning and bounding back to find the elders who were struggling. 

"Ebonyheart!" Icefang's voice pulled her from her thoughts as the younger molly turned to find the gray and white warrior standing next to her. 

"I don't see Birdstar..." Ebonyheart's voice cracked, her throat feeling partched as the ground groaned and rubble scattered all around her like a dusty blast. The stones above them were shifting, threatening to slide down the mountain like those that had buried Smokestar and many more seasons prior.  

"Birdstar will find us, we need to keep moving!" It was Sorrelclaw who anwsered as the deputy bounded towards the other two she-cats. Her gaze was hard as she tried to hide the fear welling up within her chest, but Ebonyheart could scent it on her fur. Suddenly the deputy lifted her head with wide eyes as a low groan made a noise above the rain.

"Move! Move!" Sorrelclaw yowled as she shoved Ebonyheart's larger form forwards just as the mountainside gave way, releasing an onslaught of rolling mud and boulders.

It was a rockslide!

OOC: 

Stoneclan is late on their evacuation due to the fact that Ebonyheart had to return from the Moon Tree after recieving her dream. The Earthquake hits as they are gathering to leave. We have other issues besides the earthquake, the valley wall is weak and there will be another Rockslide in which Sorrelclaw will NOT make it. She's on the cull list, feel free to reply to this and have narrow escapes with your cats and to kill off other NPCs. 

Birdstar is staying behind to help the elders, Sorrelcaw is leading the clan into the mountains with Ebonyheart.

"I need you to protect Ebonyheart!"

The words echoed in her mind as the world shattered around them. As much as it broke her to leave him behind, she knew it wasn’t worth fighting him. Icefang was no fool. She could see the connection between Birdstar and Ebonyheart, and knew how much it would affect either to lose the other. But she also knew she had to balance the risks. Ebonyheart only had one life to lose. Birdstar had nine. The chances of him staying behind and making it out alive were a lot greater than those of the medicine cat. So, even though it utterly crushed her to not be able to stand by his side and make sure he and everyone else got out, Icefang had only met his gaze and nodded, praying he heard the plea in her eyes to stay safe.

"Ebonyheart!" The she-cat in question had stopped in her tracks, green eyes scouring the land behind them. "I don’t see Birdstar..." Icefang understood the pain in the she-cat’s voice, because she shared the same fears. Before she could speak, to reassure the younger feline that his absence didn’t mean anything, another voice broke in. Sorrelclaw, coming up behind them, urging them to keep going. Icefang flicked her tail against Ebonyheart’s pelt, trying to urge the molly forward, but was startled into action as Sorrelclaw shouted and shoved the medicine cat into her.

Icefang leapt back, giving Ebonyheart space as the mountainside behind them began to slip away. "We need to move! Now!" she shouted, pushing forward in an attempt to get away from the mudslide. A quick glance over her shoulder had her step faltering, though. Sorrelclaw’s brown tabby form wasn’t behind her anymore, and Icefang staggered to a stop. "Sorrelclaw!" The ground continued to rumble beneath their paws, and the older warrior had to wrestle with her next move. Her gaze flicked to Ebonyheart’s terrified form, eyes locked onto where Sorrelclaw had disappeared. Icefang had to make a decision, but...would it be the right one?

"Ebonyheart, we need to move. The ground is too unstable here. We have to keep going." Ebonyheart stood frozen, gazing over the newly-formed cliff edge behind them. Icefang bit back a sound of frustration and reluctantly stepped closer to the edge. Golden eyes peered down over the crest of the rockslide. Cats were scattered about, terrified and confused with their escape route tattered. Icefang scanned nearby, seeing a spot off to the side that seemed to slope more gently and hadn’t been affected by the tumble. "StoneClan!" she called, voice strong. Some cats looked up at her call, so she carried on, forcing her voice to carry over the noise and the rain. "Off to the right! Climb that slope, carefully! We will regroup once we’ve cleared the edge of the valley! Stay safe, stay together, and keep an eye on each other! We will get through this together!" A few cats called out in response, while others began making their way over to the slope. It would be a longer route, but safer than trying to climb up the mudslide.

With that done, Icefang turned back to Ebonyheart. "We have to move, now." Her voice was stern, but she had to get the medicine cat to snap out of it. "We have to trust our warriors, we have to trust Birdstar, to make it out of this. And if we don't move, now, you won't make it to see him again." With that, Icefang stepped forward, bumping her shoulder against the dark-furred she-cat in a last-ditch effort to jolt her out of her paralysis.

[Ghost the Undead Goddess]

Ebonyheart,

Livin' in ruins of a palace within my dreams

The large black molly lurched forwards, her paws being forced to move by the combined efforts of Sorrelclaw and Icefang only moments before the mountainside came rushing down in a heap of stones, mud and heavy rolling boulders. Had it not been for the dampness of the rain soaked valley, dust and silt would have been tossed into the air as the earth rumbled below paw. 

Wide, mossy hues stared as the healer was rooted in place next to the less fluffy form of Icefang, the warrior looking just as shocked as Ebonyheart within those few moments. The blood roared within the younger she-cat's ears as she stood, staring at the spot that now marked a new cliff in the side of the valley wall.

The spot that now buried the deputy of Stoneclan below rubble and debris. 

Sorrelclaw!

The fallen deputy had saved her, she had sacrificed her life to make sure that Ebonyheart didn't get crushed in the same manner. The images of digging out corpses of her clanmates, finding Smokestar's broken body beneath the last rockslide came roaring into the inky feline's mind as she trembled beneath her lengthy coat. 

This had happened because of her...

Ebonyheart had been rooted into place, paralyzed by the fear of both the earthquake and the though of her leader not making it out of the cracking barrens that Stoneclan once called a safe haven, a home they were protected in.

Her heart squeezed painfully at the thought of her clanmates dying around her, dropping like the boulders they were attempting so fearfully to avoid. 

She had been late to pass off the message that Starclan had sent her when the young healer had made the journey to Moon Tree to communicate with them over the lack of prey and the odd, unsettling feeling she had. She had been too distracted to correctly follow the plans laid out by the matte gray leader to pay attention to her surroundings before the earth swallowed Sorrelclaw whole. 

Icefang's yowl broke through Ebonyheart's mind of jumbled messes, causing the healer to shift her gaze to the rest of the scattered Stoneclanners who had frantically avoided the earthen avalanche and were now attempting to figure out how to complete the journey to the hopefully safe lands of the Tribe. 

Shaking her head, the inky black she-cat forced herself to focus. It was the best thing for her to do at the moment, and she owed her life and future to Sorrelclaw. Besides, the gray and white warrior next to her was right, she needed to trust in both the cats of Stoneclan as well as their proven leader. Birdstar was smart and cautious, he had the ability to make it out of this and the nine lives to keep his protected. 

She just prayed to Starclan that they kept him free from areas were the rocks were sliding and flying. 

Swallowing her fear as her ears laid back against her head, Ebonyheart turned her head towards where her companion was staring at her. Gold met green for a second before the medicine cat nodded while trying to control the trembling within her larger form. "You're right... we need to make it to the Tribe." Willing her paws to move, the inky black she-cat pushed forwards while attempting not to lean on her fellow molly for support. 

There would be time for healing and mourning and bonding once they reached safety. Once Ebonyheart knew her cats were healing and well rested and not in danger of mother nature's furious wrath.

Pain jolted up the apprentice's legs as the ground once again shook beneath their paws. Creekpaw cursed as she slid slightly down an incline, her claws raw as they dug into the unstable earth. Was StarClan insane? Why didn't they float down from the stars and make themselves useful? Gritting her teeth, the silver Bengal cast her blue eyes behind her shoulder, ears flat to her head. She couldn't see a sign of Birdstar or her parents anywhere. "Where are we even going?" She yowled up at Ebonyheart, her mud-streaked fur caked to her side. If she had to get much dirtier than this, she was going to claw that smug medicine cat's nose, as well as the doe-eyed deputy's. They would've been much better off just staying in camp-[break][break]

Oh no. Lightningflash's ears twirled towards the hauntingly familiar sound. A groan deep within the mountainside, as though the great behemoth were in terrible agony. His mouth dropped open as tons of rock began to give way and slide towards the struggling Clan. Sorrelclaw's orders were barely audible among the sudden screams that erupted from the cats around them. They surged forward like a sudden wave, struggling to escape the deluge of debris. When Lightningflash finally managed to look back, he could see a gaping wound in the earth where Sorrelclaw once stood. [break][break]

"She's dead!" Creekpaw spat out, staring with baffled disbelief over the edge at the limp, broken brown form below them. Like we'll all be soon if we don't move our idiotic tails! Cats were standing around and wailing like kittens, heartbroken by the loss, but there was absolutely no time to be holding a vigil now. The mountain could still come down on their heads, and Sorrelclaw was beyond saving. It took Icefang's speech to rally them all to their senses and prepare them to push forward. "The Tribe? You mean go higher into the mountains?" Creekpaw raised her voice to be heard above the hubbub, not caring that she was considered "just" an apprentice and her opinion was not welcome. "Shouldn't we be avoiding falling rocks? You'll have us all ending up like Sorrelclaw!"
