The Battle of Flame

Ridenstar gasped as the lake sucked him in he gurgled in the water, unable to breathe. He heard a cat screeching, "NO I HAVE TO HELP HIM!" but another cat protested, "You'll get sucked in to!" Ridenstar felt like stones had been poured on his chest, so he was sinking. "No! No! No!" he heard hissing and the sound of claws raking fur, and then a loud splash. He opened his eyes to see a cat swimming down with the current towards him, Pineheart? He choked unable to breathe, Pineheart grabbed his scruff, and pushed off the bottom with the upward current surging them upwards to shore. "Ridenstar?! Ridenstar!?" he heard Pineheart mew, he opened his eyes and coughed up water. "You're okay!" she mewed. "No, not really," he rasped his throat dry. Pineheart nudged him towards the water, "Drink," Ridenstar lapped up the water gratefully. Pineheart let him lean on her as she lead him back to the others. He saw Ashheart pacing looking terrified, while Foxleap, and Blizzardstorm were trying to comfort her, but they were stressed to. Darkblaze looked nervous, and Blazepelt was scared for his former mentor, Pineheart. Stormstrike was attempting to comfort everyone, while Bladewhisper was trembling with fear. But then Blazepelt saw them coming, "They're back! Pineheart saved Ridenstar!" he yowled. Cats stopped and looked at them and smiled, cheering. But Windsong, and Nightshade looked terrified, everycat looked at them, "Whats wrong?" they all asked at the same time. "W-we had a vision, a shecat named Rosethorn came, and another shecat Cinderfall, and two toms named Eagle and Sparrowpelt. They 'the claws of the moon, are all it needs to create a spark that shall melt the snow'.." Windsong glanced at the cats. Ridenstar froze his eyes widened as wide as possible. All cats looked at him as he trembled with fear, terrified for his clans exsistence. "Ridenstar?" Snowytail asked. "M-moonclaw.. Moonclaws coming!" he mewed afraid. Nightshade gaped, "The moons claws! Moonclaw! It all adds up now, Ridenstar, who is Moonclaw?" he replied. "Moonclaw is a darkforest cat, shes my kin, she attempts to train all her kin to be evil.. We're in trouble.." Pineheart pressed herself against Ridenstar so their pelts brushed, "Ridenstar, be calm," but soon a dark clouds covered the sky, and lightning struck hitting a tree, so fire started blazing through the forest. "RUN!" Pineheart yowled as Ridenstar bolted off, his clan scattering, but Pineheart raced after him matching his pace. Suddenly a log fell in Pineheart's way and Ridenstar stopped. "PINEHEART!" he yowled turning around and racing to the log. The log was on fire there was no way over, or under. Fire blazed around Pineheart. Pineheart looked terrified. "Pineheart, its going to be okay! I'll get you out.." Pineheart shook her head sadly, "No-there's no way out, Ridenstar." "No.." he mumured, he could tell Pineheart had so much to tell him yet. Their future yet was twined in mystery, and wonder. "I can always wait a thousand years more.." she mews looking at him her eyes soft water. Lapping against the beachy shore, "Pineheart-I-" he mewed but she nodded understanding. But soon the fire revealed a small pathway, "Pineheart, run hurry! Get out of there!" Pineheart dashed and jumped through the opening before it closed a fur length away from her tail. Pineheart coughed, and Ridenstar supported her, as he led her away, he saw a cave, and led her in. She coughed, and his mind raced, he heard a soft voice, "Tansy, give her tansy and Coltsfoot, you know what it looks like," he heard it say, then he whispered as he collected the herbs, "Thank you Rosethorn." he gave her the herbs, as she finished taking them he nodded. Looking at the flames outside. "Pineheart, I-I.." he mewed looking at her, "No need, to tell me Ridenstar, I know." she wheezed affection gleaming in her bright green eyes. He had been so heart-broken over Pearlstream, he hadn't seen Pineheart the way he should have moons ago. Now, Blazepelt looked like he liked Pineheart, and he was positive she was giving up on him... What now, what would come after "The Battle In The Flames?"
