PINESTRIPES POV
Pinestripe walked through the ravine, Brightpaw and Hazelstripe by her side. She looked up at the high, rocky walls of the ravine. The sunny sky seemed so much farther away, unlike it did back at home. She stopped herself from sighing sadly, hoping that the odd silence of the cats would suddenly break.
"Hey, when do you think I'm going to get my new name?" Brightpaw asked, obviously wanting to break the silence, too.
"Probably when we're on the way back," Hazelstripe looks at them with an odd look in her eyes, "Right now we should be more concerned about getting there and saving OceanClan."
"I honestly think he should do it before,"Argued Pinestripe, "We still have a few days to arrive, and it's not gonna take much time."
"Well that's stupid," Hazelstripe growled, "I know he should do it after we save them. We came to save OceanClan, not give Brightpaw some new name she doesn't even need."
"Hey, I-" Brightpaw started, only to get pushed to the side by the two she-cats.
"How come you get to decide? You're not the deputy, mouse-brain!" Pinestripe hissed, anger boiling up inside her, "And you shouldn't talk about your apprentice like that!" She quickly added.
"You're the one acting like Froststar's opinion isn't important! Only a cat as evil as you as you would go against the word of a leader!" Hazelstripe's fur was on end, and her eyes were narrowed to slits.
"At least I'm better than you, you leaf-hearted idiot!" Pinestripe arched her back, anger enveloping her. If anger was a color, that would be how to describe her.
Suddenly Hazelstripe was on top of Pinestripe, letting all her weight lay on her back. Pinestripe tried to shake her off, but the colorful she-cat was latched on tight. She growled as Hazelstripe bashed a paw into the back of her head, sending her back to the ground.
"What are you two doing?" Heatherfur mewed, stopping to look at the two as Pinestripe continued to struggle.
"What do you mean?" Hazelstripe asked.
"I didn't know you two were gay," Ceaderstripe mewed, "But can you guys do this later?"
"I didn't do it willingly!" Pinestripe growled, "I already broke my spine once, I don't need to be paralyzed!"
"I have no idea what you two are referring to." Hazelstripe digs her claws into Pinestripe, making the brown she-cat wince in pain.
During the awkward silence, sobbing could be heard in the distance. Pinestripe looked over to see Brightpaw crying in the corner. Of course, everyone was more interested in the 'lesbian' cat who was 'doing it' with her.
Froststar comes storming over, anger flashing in his eyes, "Hazelstripe get off o-" he pauses, "What was that?"
The ground begins to shake as Fluffypelt yells, "guys, I think something big is coming!"
"Oh, you're not the only one who can feel that, it must be really big!" Cocoapaw trembles.
Suddenly, bits of rubble begin to fall off of the side of the ravine.
"Take cover!" Ceaderstripe yells.
"There's nowhere to take cover!" Pinestripe yowled, "Not with this... thing on me!"
Hazelstripe grabs Pinestripe by the scruff, throws her against the ravine wall, and follows the others to who knows where.
Pinestripe growls, pulling herself off of the wall just before a large rock falls off of the walls and onto the rocky ground. Obviously Hazelstripe is trying to commit a murder today, Pinestripe thought, running to catch up to the others.
Pinestripe then remembers that Brightpaw exists, and notices they aren't with the rest of the group. She runs back and realizes that a huge boulder is about to fall on their head. Brightpaw doesn't seem to notice, though, because she's crying her eyes out.
"Brightpaw!" Pinestripe yells, leaping up, grabbing the young cat by the scruff, and landing safely (but ungracefully) onto the ground. She sets them on the ground as she growls, "You're gonna be learning to escape yourself next time."
"Sorry," Brightpaw looks down, her face fur damp from tears, "I-I just couldn't control myself."
"I could tell," Pinestripe mewed, "Now come on, we don't want to get buried in rubble."

CEADERSTRIPES POV
Fluffypelt clings to the ground as it shakes. Hemlockheart pulls her kits to her belly, holding them close while Shrewtail wraps around them. Froststar had led them to a safe seeming spot in the ravine.
"What's happening!?" Brightpaw screams over the roaring of the shaking ground as Pinestripe nudges her closer to the group.
The walls crack and crumble down all around them. A large shard of rock hurtles towards them. towards them.
"Run!" Ceaderstripe yells.
She grabs one of her sisters kits and runs farther down the ravine when suddenly the shaking dies down and finally to a stop. The walls still crumble but no new cracks begin.
"What was that?" Cocoapaw is snuggled close to his mother, his eyes wide.
"I dont know," Ceaderstripe admits but adds silently Lets just hope it doesn't happen again.
