Tripping over Tombstones

Sirius

He hissed as he found the right room. Fire licked at the edges, the entire door was ablaze. He stopped and backtracked. Not to leave - he had made a promise to Zee. he would rescue these creatures, or he would die trying. That was the cost of securing her promise to leave. Taking a steeling breath he shook off her coat, so he wouldn't risk it to the flames. With space between himself and the door he charged, hitting the burning wood hard with his shoulder, and feeling his fur catch on fire. Flames danced on his flesh as he went crashing into the room. The burning door beneath him. Pain in his paws. He howled as he threw himself to the side, rolling on the floor, once, twice, thrice, until the flames went out.

He got to his paws slowly, panting, and found the frightened gaze of her companions. He found the contraption that held the cage closed, and lifted it free. The snake he grabbed in his maw and tossed onto his back. Hissing at the pain of contact on his charred flesh. The bird hopped onto his back on its own free will.

Turning, he barrelled back out of the room. Made easier for the open doorway. Snagging the coat in his mouth as he moved. Muttering softly under his breath something about stupid winter cheetahs... By the time he made it back to Zee he was battered and alternating between panting and whining. He dropped down beside her, giving her companions a chance to move from his back to hers. He also needed a second to catch his breath. “We need to leave, the snow should help… help contain this.” He panted, but he couldn’t risk it if this got out of control. No choice but to push on. “Help me up” he gasped.
