An early start

[Alchemystar]

Alchemystar looked out of his den overlooking his camp. It was just before daybreak and the dawn patrol had not left yet. He walked out of his den over to where the patrols would soon be gathering. He decided he would lead a patrol. He could just barely make out his small shadow on the ground in front of him. His neck fur rose angrily. Not only was he the youngest leader, he was also one of the smallest cats in the forest. He hated to be underestemated but his size had always bothered him. He was a little smaller than an apprentice but he was 18 moons old. He had glossy golden fur and his muscles rippled under it as he walked but he still got irritated quickly as his small shadow intimidated him. He decided to start out on the patrol on his own. The clan still had a little longer before they would wake. He slipped out of camp quietly and started to go in the direction of the thunderclan boarder.

[dragonmist]

dragonmist was near the borders looking for herbs. she really just wanted to get out of camp for a little while. she sat down mext to the river and got a drink. she curled up by the shore in the sun. she fell asleep without meaning to.

[Amethystheart]

Nightkit bounded out of the nursery and wandered to the River. She looked around anxiously and settled after a brief moment. She sat patiently, feeling the wind brush up on her fur. And the peaceful sweet air of the River. (( shes far away from Dragon, but bound to see each other soon XD ))

[Alchemystar]

Alchemystar stopped at the river to take a quick drink before moving on with his patrol and caught the sent of a riverclan cat in the fresh breeze. His neck fur rose. He didn't like seeing cats so close to the boarder even if they were a patrol for their clan. He always felt uneasy when other clans came near. He caught sight of the little kit wading in the river. "that water is to fast and deep in the middle...if she goes out to far she may drown..." he muttered to himself but then shook his head. "Why should I care...riverclan should keep better watch over their kits..." he then looked back at the little kit in the water. He felt a pang of guilt, "If something where to happen to her and I could have prevented it..." he said quietly to himself. He shook his head agian and started to walk away. "Riverclan is none of my concern..." he reminded himself as he headed for the open moreland for some quick hunting since the boarder patrol was probably up by now and setting out. As he walked away the little kit kept coming back into his memory. "What if she falls in and gets carried away by the current...or getts attacked by something..." he shook of the worries and continued over the morland. "My clan is windclan...they are my only responcibility..."

[Amethystheart]

Nightkit fell into the river and she began to yelp. Starclan help me! She tried to remain above the water but she was submerging as her small black and frail body froze deeper into the river and her sight darkening. She closed her eyes. " Is this it? Am I gonna die today and now? I thought I could see so much.. I wanted to train under medicine cats, and now I fell to my miserable death.. Dragonmist... Im sorry. " Her vision blacked and she lost consciousness.

(( NO IM NOT DYING ! LOL ))

[Alchemystar]

Alchemystar walked over the moorland in search of prey but every time he tried to make a catch he would miss. The kit by the river kept coming into his mind "It wouldn't hurt if I went and checked to see if the she was ok..." he thought to himself. "Im only a few foxlengths from the river." he mumbled and started to run to the boarder. He stopped suddenly as he saw the little black body submerged in the fast flowing water. His eyes widened with shock and he dove into the cold water. He kicked his paws hard and fast as he tried to fight the current to reach the little kit. He could feel his arms and legs straining with lost energy. He coughed as water flowed in his mouth and out his nose. He had forgoten how small he was compared to most cats. "If I do reach the kit...how will I have the energy to carry both of us to the shore..." he thought franticly as he moved his legs faster. "I can't let her drown...not after I left and could have warned her..." a wave went over his head and took him under and the current sent him spinning in the rapid pull of the river. "Starclan help me!" he thought as his head broke throught he surface of the water once more. He had lost sight of the kit. He was gasping for breath as his eyes searched the water. He swam as fast and hard as he could to get near the edge of the water. He saw the little black body again as it was taken under by a wave. He plunged tward her and grabbed hold of her scruff. He kicked viciously as he tried to pull them both to the riverbed. Almost exauhsted he pulled the kit up onto the mud, his paws slipped underhim as he sat the kit down. His golden pelt was sodden and he was shivering. He fell down on the side of the river. The kit was unconcious next to him. He weakly stood and licked the kits pelt trying to warm her body. "Wake up..." he rasped tiredly

[dragonmist]

Draognmist woke up with an uneasy feeling. she decided to walk along the shore. she came upon two cats, one was licking the other and the other seemed unconcious. she ran to them. " what happened. she asked. as she got closer she realized one of them was nightkit. 'oh please be ok' she thought. she didnt recognize the other cat do to all the mud in his pelt.

[Amethystheart]

Nightkit squirmed slightly coughing up alot of water. Still in her subconscious state. She saw her late mother. Glassrain and her dead father Darkmask. But then they slowly faded and the real world was popping in. She felt all warm and moved around alot. She opened her eyes for a few moments to see 2 giant blurs, she smiled, then fell to rest again.

[Alchemystar]

Alchemystar let out a sigh of relife as the kit woke for a brief moment. He turned to face the cat who just approached them. "She fell in the river..." he said tiredly in a raspy voice. "I jumped in and pulled her out." It was harder for him to swim that it would be for the cat that had just came to him. She was obviously from riverclan. With him being from windclan he was naturaly smaller. He was the smallest full grown cat out of all of the clans. His muddy fur must have made him look even smaller. He was trembling with exhaustion as he licked away the mud from his fur. You could just barely make out his golden pelt. He turned his gaze on the newcomer. "Will she be ok?" he asked. Then he realized he was on the wrong side of the boarder. "I must go..." he said as he walked in the direction of his clan. He felt a strong gust of relife after he crossed the boarder and could smell windclan camp not far off. He turned and rested his golden eyed gaze on the river. "That cold have been the end of me..." he thought quietly. "I put my life on the line for another clan..." he was shocked with himself. "But if I didnt...she could have..." he shook the thought from his mind and walked to his camp.

[dragonmist]

dragonmist sat down next to nightkit. she continued licking him untill he woke up. laying in the sun would help dry nightkit out.

[Amethystheart]

Nightkit squirmed awake again seeing Dragonmist. She got up and looked at her with wide eyes. " What just happened? " She mewed quietly.

[dragonmist]

" it seems that you fell into the river and another cat saved you. you are very lucky they were here to help you. " dragonmist said." i'm so glad you aren't hurt. let's get you back to camp ok." she said giving nightkits forehead a quick lick before getting up and started going torwards camp.

[Amethystheart]

Nightkit nodded and headed to camp alongsider Dragonmist.
