❝ it's gonna hurt for a bit of time ❞
The water drew ever closer. Her attempts to escape appeared futile, gaining no purchase on the river cat. What kind of warrior was she, to so easily be dragged to her death? Hemlockshine shook her like she was some plaything, like she was merely an irritation. She yelped at the feeling of her skin ripping on her scruff from the merciless shake. The world spun as she attempted once more to land her claws in his ear, anything to make him let go. Anything to give her a chance.
Suddenly she was being thrown, the icy cold of the river water made her shriek; Not for long, flooding her mouth and choking her. I'm gonna die, StarClan, I'm gonna die! she thought, thrashing under the paws upon her. She had to get out, she had to breathe. Her lungs burned with the lack of air, her vision fading around the edges.
Then suddenly, like StarClan themselves sent a helping paw, the weight on her shoulders released. With the slightest bit of power she could manage, she thrust her head above the surface of the water. She barely knew what direction was the way out, but she managed to pull herself from the death grip of the river. She looked back for only a moment to see Stagsnarl locked with Hemlockshine. Thank you, she thought. She gasped and coughed as she stumbled toward the rest of the retreating cats.
// out! @HEMLOCKSHINE and @STAGSNARL.
