Gonna take you right into the Danger Zone [VOLCANO]

When night fell Philomena had invited Willoughby to the den she once shared with her parents and single sibling. It didn’t seem strange to her… she was merely hoping to keep them both out of the wind that evening. The woman found the other femme’s company to be refeshing… and she hadn’t felt ready to head back to Olympia just yet. She wanted to remain near her father just a little longer… in hopes that as she dreamed that night, maybe, just maybe, he would come to her in her dreams.

The earth violently trembling at her paws forced Philomena to wake with a start. The motion made her feel sick… But that was only the start of the nightmare that was striking the lands. The female unsteadily made her way to the opening of the den. The violent tremors stopped… but the night sky could no longer be seen. What seemed to be snow fell in flakes from the sky… but… what the?

Philomena squinted as she noticed some of the snow-like flakes glowed a red-orange… almost as if…

Her eyes widened as a collection of them gathered on the willow trees. Fire springing to life told her that was not snow.

“Oh shit…” The woman felt her stomach churn even more violently.

Run. She needed to run.

But… where was Bee?

“Willoughby!?” The fear in her own voice disgusted the woman as she looked around and screamed for her friend. The fire would spread quickly… and in the woods they were in a lot of danger. They could get trapped here…

...and that would spell certain death.

Yet… as strong as her instinct was to run… Philomena didn’t want to leave the woman she had befriended. The fear of neglecting someone else, and possibly having them die because she had, not once, but twice now, scared her even more than the thought of being burned alive.
