BraveClan's touching story/(3): Rediscovering Wonders from Darkness/3

## Part 3: Fire!

Continuing my story of BraveClan... All was well. It was the middle of the hot season, and the Clan had multiplied ever since the incident. Barely anybody remembered the greencough passed through the Clan. But since it was hot, a thunderstorm brewed up. The thunderstorm didn't directly harm the camp, but it struck a tree next to it. Fencoat and Purepaw noticed it and saw fire. They alerted Fallstar immediately, and Fallstar had everyone evacuate. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but almost everything was incinerated.

The three med. cats, Tremblesplash, Bluetail and Bronzeroot had gotten most of the herbs with them, and the warriors had taken some prey with them. The fire started to spread to the forest, so Fallstar had everyone move somewhere else and to keep kits and queens safe, and mentors stick with apprentices. It started raining, but as far as they knew, it was too late to go back and see if the fire doused. Kits were crying, because they were wet and were tired. Queens felt uncomfortable and said they needed to find another camp, quick. Fallstar knew this, but he did not know where to go. He also knew rogues dwelled here. Clearlake suggested all elders, queens and kits sleep, and sleepy warriors, and the awake ones guard.

Everyone managed to take shelter under a few trees and the sleepy ones slept. Some warriors, included Fallstar stayed awake and stood guard. After that, they fought rogues who tried to sneak up on them. However, Fallstar's mate Waterrock got killed and Bluetail, Orangestripe, Moleclaw and Fallstar himself mourned, but they agreed she died to protect the Clan, even though she was a loner. So did Barktuft, and Clearlake and Fawnstripe mourned. Logclaw and Brownwool assured them he was in StarClan. Bronzeroot, who had tried to save Barktuft, also tried to comfort them.

But they managed to stand their ground, and no one else got killed. They soon realized that they found an abandoned camp nearby. They took it and made it theirs. They realized that Rainleaf and Orangestripe's two kits Minnowkit and Hazykit were gone. They did not know what happened to them, because they knew they didn't get killed by the rogues. Rainleaf decided to have more kits after what happened. Fallstar was sad about what happened to his grandchildren, but he agreed on Rainleaf's idea.

He was glad Sparkkit, the third kit of the litter, was still there, though. They saw a Twoleg near the Clan and scared it off. Tremblesplash thought they were captured by Twolegs and could never be seen again if the Twolegs leave. Suddenly, Clearlake had discovered she was pregnant with Barktuft's kit. Later, she had a tom named Cinderkit.

Then, something really awkward happened. Bronzeroot and Bluetail, two med. cats had kits, Heatherkit, Lilackit and Skykit. Moleclaw was told this by his sister, Bluetail, and agreed to keep this a secret. Moleclaw brought the kits into BraveClan, and announced that these were lost kits and needed to be taken in. Fallstar suspected something, but agreed. Elders started passing away, and the Clan mourned.

But they were worried about what might happen in leaf-bare, since now it was leaf-fall. The med. cats sorted all the herbs (catmint especially) to prepare for any cough.
