ooc;; I figure we can go through the earthquake, you can finish it in your post if you want or carry on with it. surprise me ;D

The first tremor shook her awake, jolting her from her dreams despite it being minor and disappearing almost as soon as it had come. She blinked hazily, large ears folding back against her skull as she looked around at the forest to see where the strange feeling had come from. The only time she had felt something like that before was when she had seen a stampede but it had never come and gone before. Maybe she had just imagined it? The girl let out a soft sigh and turned her gaze down to Talon who lay sleeping beside her and she couldn't help but smile. She was flopped with her hips so the side so her back and shoulder were pressed comfortably up against him but she didn't move just in case she woke him. Slowly she would lower her head back to her forepaws, leaning more into Talon as she let her eyes slip closed. A yawn stretched her jaws open before they fell shut again and she tried to go back to sleep. It was another 10 minutes before the next tremor hit, this time stronger, enough for her to snap her head up and look around quickly. "Talon? Did you feel that?" She asked, voice a soft whisper as she pushed her forepaws up and herself into a seated position, hips still pressed against Talon's side. She was starting to get scared, was a stampede coming? Everything came flooding back, all those memories of her mother getting impaled by that bull elk and the sadness and fear that had followed. Were they coming for her?

Her haunches unfurled underneath her as she stood, dainty paws taking tentative steps foreword as wide eyes darted too and fro. She was maybe only 10 steps away from him when the ground really started to shake, immediately her paws splayed to brace herself knees bending to absorb some of the shock. Eyes darted to and fro as she watched the world start to collapse around her, trees quivering around them and the larger ones beginning to splinter and crack. The noise was almost as bad as the feeling of her insides ping ponging around against her ribs and her bones creaking in her legs. "Talon! What's happening?!?!" She asked, unable to move from where she had planted herself or even turn around to see what was happening to Talon. Tears were forming in her eyes now, tail tucked completely between her legs and ears pinned to her skull in fear. CRACK! The sound was harsh and thunderous, overwhelming almost and she looked around to find the source of the sound.

Somehow her eyes managed to widen further, her orbs almost engulfing her whole skull as she spotted the tear in the earth, no more then 50 meters away from her and spreading. It slithered and slipped towards her and the ground began to shudder more and more. She dropped to the ground, trying desperately to curl up in a ball and make it all go away but it was mere moments before the crack reached her. Then she was falling, tumbling and spiralling only a short distance but she hit one wall then the other and her head was thrown violently against a a rock. The ground was sloped slightly and she hit it at a tumble. Kangi wasn't sure how long she fell but she ended up in a heap at the bottom. She felt dizzy, nauseous and everything was still shaking and spinning. Where was she? Where was Talon? "? Talon? ? T- Talon?" She mumbled, once again trying to shuffle herself up into a seated position and casting her gaze around. Dust and pebbles were cascading down around her but she wasn't really sure what was happening. Did things look different? Where was Talon? Everything about herself was forgotten suddenly, adrenaline hitting her like a slap across the face as she stumbled to her paws. "Where are you?!?! TALON!" She cried, realizing that he wasn't in her immediate vicinity and panic hitting her immediately. Gaze was thrown around desperately, the world was still shaking but all of that seemed minor now. Head arched back as she looked upwards. Though she couldn't see the sky through the dust that continued to pour in she was deep within the earth now. But where was Talon?
