The humans come!

Golden Eagle

Watching in horror as the cats were scooped up into the boxes and thrown into the back of the truck, Eagle was struck and paralyzed with fear. Then she saw the little head of Tide stick out from a hole in the ground. She walked over and peeked in.

"Get out of there," she hissed anxiously her eyes widened with fear and with worry for the tiny little kit. She reached a paw in as far as it could go and tried to pull him out. It was useless. She had to get him out of there somehow though.

"Get out or you'll die," she said looking into the hole, her eyes wide with fear and she was terribly worried. To see a young cat die would hurt her so much. Especially since this was a young cat of the clan.

Salmon

Salmon heard the yowls of monsterous beasts and looked out of the den. Two cats were in boxes and Eagle was desperatly trying to get Tide out of a hole he was hiding in. Salmon stared, searching for Stoneteller who was just sitting there.

"What are you doing?" he exploded at the "leader." He was angry beyond anything. He was the leader he was supposed to be helping them, telling the what to do. He saw Ace scurry up a tree and he went to see if he could help her.

A twoleg saw him and grabbed for him. He dodged out of the grasp of the huge thing and ran for the tree.

"Ace," he panted, "why isn't Stoneteller doing anything?"

[Rascally]

Someone had come to him finally he bolted out of the tree he was hiding in. Rubbing against golden Eagle. "What do we do now?" He mewed to her. His body trembling. His eyes were wide and looked around a two legged person was comming towards them He hissed and Batted at Eagle. "Run" He cried

[Sheer]

"Don't be foolish Salmon, if we go down there and try to fight them we wouldn't stand a chance. I'm pretty sure that we are more useful alive and intact then we are dead or maimed. It hurts me too to watch our tribemates getting captured but if we act reckless it wouldn't help anyone, not them and not ourselves." Seth snapped irritably. He was sitting quite still, in plain sight. He needed to see what happened even if he couldn't help.

Golden Eagle

Dodging the large hand that reached down to grab her, she swooped down and grabbed Tide by his scruff. Then she pulled him out of the reach, falling down herself before she scrambled to her feet.

"We need to go now, Stoneteller, please, what should we do?" she asked frantically looking at him, praying for some help, a bit of advice anything. She had to help her clanmates and yet, if she didn't know what to do, what could she do? She drug the young kit into a much larger niche in the rock and waited for a response from Stoneteller. Why wasn't he doing anything?

Salmon

So what can we do, wonder Salmon as he sat next to Ace in the tree. These humans were swarming the mountains and cats were being captured! They somehow had to get away and yet, Stoneteller sat, doing nothing. At the least he could have been shouting out directions, keeping cats calm. But no, he sat and Salmon's vocal cords vibrated angrily. What was going on here?

[Sheer]

"You should go back to camp if you'd like." Seth's voice was still a model of calmness. "But I'm staying here, I need to see what's going to happen, even if I can't help." His insight was on the edge right now, he knew humans better then most cats. As much as he loathed to admit it he had to admire them a little, to have the power to dominate animals, that was amazing. And yet at the same time he had to hate them, but wasn't power something they all relished?

[FIRESTRIPE ❥]

More humans arrived in trucks, a huge whole had been dug in the ground, and the humans where snatching any cat they could. They had brought in all the materials they would need, staying there and working as much as they could, they wanted to get out of there before winter. They had captured enough cats to fill the first truck, so they had someone drive it back to the city.

(Sheer its about time the tribe leaves since they need to arrive at the gathering soon! )
