(yay im sure you all missed me dearly xD i got on the laptop)

"Silver!! Magi!!"

Silver's ears pricked, and she turned, biting her lip. "Akurle," she whispered.

Were they in trouble?

If they are, her thoughts whispered, I could get the treasure, see Golden again.

The cat shook her head, frustrated. Normally she would consider all pros and cons, but there was no time for waiting about. She had to move.

''Could my?... ''she shook her head immediately. No. She had to figure out some other way.

Her eyes strayed to the lava pool. Could that help? She glanced upwards.Trees. Many trees. Many branches and thorns. Too many.

And lava burns wood.

She shivered. It was foolish, dangerous. And yet Silver began trying to find some sort of container.

She came across a bottle with water, and she frowned. Didn't Akurle bring this? She paused, puzzling it over. Realizing that she was slightly thirsty, Silver sighed. She won't notice a sip gone.

Twisting off the cap, she opened it and began lapping up a few sips. Quickly, she wiped her muzzle and put the cap back on.

There was a tingling in her chest, and she paused. It felt...calming.

And a memory was pulled up.

''Silver, a day before she had found the others, had cut her leg. Lost and in pain, she had stumbled across water, and hurriedly jumped into clean the wound.''

''While there, she lapped up a bit, and the same feeling had come. Tingling. Calming.''

''The wound had healed quickly. After a minute or two, it wasn't just healed - she felt stronger, energy renewed. And she had realized: this was a healing spring.''

Healing water. She yowled with glee. ''If I'm quick, the healing effect will make sure the lava won't harm me! ''Preparing to scoop up some lava, she paused again. ''Wait. Fire. ''Silver grinned. It was all coming together!

Her sparkling eyes scanned the area, and landed on a stick. ''Ha. ''She ran over, picking it up with her teeth, and came bck to the lava. No time to waste. The healing effect only lasted for a few minutes.

Silver dipped in the lava, hesistant, and soon it caught fire. She ran towards a tree and began climbing, her claws digging in, tail swinging.

When Silver came to a branch, she burned it at the end, making it fall. However, her plan had a downfall - the tree was burning. Not just the branches. Soon it was climbing up behind her, the immense heat making her energy go down.

No! She pulled herself up and accidentally dropped the stick. Panic filled her up as she watched it fall down to the flames. What if that was her?

It will be if I continue to contemplate this! The fire was dangerously close to her tail now. She climbed faster, not taking the time to breathe.

And perhaps that was a good thing, because if she had been, her breath would have been taken away anyways. The tingling had stopped.

Silver's eyes widened. ''I'm going to die. Death by fire. Burned. My body will be nothing more than ashes. Brought down my own plan.''

She climbed faster, reaching the top, finally, but there was no escape. ''I'm merely a burden anyway. ''   She closed her eyes and braced herself.

But you'll be a bigger burden on my family if I die. Her eyes snapped open on that thought. ''Golden wouldn't want me to give up. Mom and Dad wouldn't want me to give up. Fadestep and Akurle need me. And I need to live.''

''There's a solution to every problem. If someone falls, they get back up. If someone dives, they swim to the surface. If someone leaps, they land on their feet.''

Silver's sighed quietly, then turned to find something. Anything to help her. Leaves, buring leaves, burning branches...and yet one branch was not burning. And...pointing to where she heard Akurle's voice!

The she-cat braced herself, then ran forward. The branch moved downwards under her weight, but still, at the end of the branch, it was strong enough for her to leap.

So she leaped.
