(=^・ェ・^=))ノ彡♡ — Though a drypaw, Darterwing was not afraid of water’s existence. If a cat spent every waking moment in RiverClan being fearful of seeing and getting close to water… well… it’d be quite impossible to transverse the territory. Besides… how would they get water? Did they expect cats to bring it back for them in wet mossballs? Darterwing would not allow her phobia to make her dependent on others, she was still just as capable as any other warrior of taking care of the clan and self.
Darterwing finds a shallow stream and treads on a bed of pebbles to get towards it. Shallow water was not a fear at all, she’d even dip her paws in it at times, but not today. Just a quick drink before she returned to her hunting party further up river. The cool water is refreshing on her tongue and throat that grew sore from running around the territory, she can feel her chin grow damp as it graces the surface of the water. All was peaceful.
Until- ”YOWWWW!” Darterwing’s howl pierces the air and she darts away from the water, a tremendous weight latched onto one of her whiskers. Something was attacking her and it would not let go! The creature can barely be seen in her peripheral vision. Darterwing tries to shake it off, a paw futilely bats at her water attacker, certain if it didn’t let go it’d tear her whisker right out!
