Thorn backed up against the cliff face, trying to stay as far from the fire as possible. The stone was warm from the heat of the flames. He looked around, desperately trying to find something to escape with. When he looked upward, he noticed a branch that was burning where it connected to its tree's trunk. If it fell, he might be able to run across and into safety it before it began to burn. The wall of fire continued to close in as he watched the branch, willing it to fall. Finally, just as Thorn began to suspect that it was too late, the branch fell. It hadn't caught fire yet so he dragged himself up onto it and limped across, making it to safety as the flames began to consume the branch. Without looking back, he linked towards camp, ignoring the pain as best as he could. He hadn't gone far when he collided into a vixen. "Who are you?" He asked her, "Never mind that, we have to get out of here!" He started hobbling towards the camp without waiting to see if the vixen was following. When he arrived, he saw Ember wriggling under a burning tree. He walked up to the foxes who were watching her and asked "What is she doing?"
