The young warrior finds himself staring into the river, trying to ignore how his increasing heartrate. He's supposed to love the water— the river is supposed to call to him like it does to every other RiverClanner, but it just doesn't work that way. He can remember the incident like it was yesterday. "Foxpaw, I dare you to stand on the frozen river!" The young voices of his denmates ring back to him— as well as the innocence he held. The river looks peaceful right now— albeit it's slushy with leaf-bare coming upon the clans, but it's deceiving. The water can be dangerous, it can pull a cat down mercilessly if one doesn't pertain the proper knowledge on how to swim. He didn't know how to swim when he was dared to step on the frozen river last leaf-bare. And despite the fact that he can now, there's still a feeling of uneasiness when it comes to diving into the river.
His eyes seem to be locked onto a catfish— a fairly large fish that can't be swiped out of the water. If he wants to bring it back to camp, he'll have to dive into the river. Do it already! He thinks to himself, Stop stalling, it's going to swim away! He takes a deep breath and leaps into the cold river, claws sinking into the catfish. It puts up quite the battle— squirming to get out of Foxtail's claws, but the young wariror wasn't going to let it get away. He could feel his heartbeat in his chest as he risks his only source of air and bites down on the prey, feeling relief as it goes limp. Wanting to get out of the water, he propels himself to the surface and practically throws the caught catfish onto land. His uneasiness has seemingly taken him over at this point. He frantically pulls himself onto shore, shivering from the cold... and perhaps from fear.
