Aware of the fire and now the presence of an unknown cat, Mirri hissed loudly as she all but flew into the shop proper. The counter was in flames and the tight packed trinkets and antiques that they had all lived among for so long were catching fast, the fire spreading from dusty relic to dusty relic. An old candy tin rolled off a shelf, hot and smoking.
"Get out!" she shouted, half at the strange cat and half at no one in particular. "Get out, get out!" She bolted half up the stairs while shouting at the other cats before grabbing Rin on her way back down and squeezing herself and the kitten out of the window. Behind them the sounds of the fire were growing and she could hear the others clammering upstairs to escape before the fire filled the building.
A red gold streak that was Ciaran seemed to sail through the window such that Mirri was only just sure that she had seem him at all, followed by Zmey's retreating tail. A desperate cat could find more than one way to escape and she hoped that the others were doing just that as the fire chased the cats out of the shop.
(("borrowed" a few characters to move things along. Hope you guys don't mind. Feel free to add, edit, or tweak if you have an idea.))
