    Temperance ran through the rain. She skid to a halt when she saw the river, and the rapids. She watched the river washing angrily at the shore, willing to wash up any debri the water could get to. She froze in fear as a wave tried to suck her into the river, but she hung on tight to a branch. The wave washed back into the river, but a bigger, stronger wave came. She hung on to the branch with all her strength. The wave hit the tree she was hanging on to, and it crashed into the rapids. "Help! Please!" she screamed, knowing no one would never hear her. Then she remembered the stories her mother had told her before she died. When her mother (Temperance mothers name was Emerald) fell in love with her father, he told her stories of Starclan. He died when Temperance was a week old. Emerald lived with Temperance and told her stories of Starclan for two moons before a dog killed her. Now three moons old, Temperance had to leave because more dogs were terrorizing her home, and Bloodclan was getting more and more cats by the day. Temperance held ont to the tree, and with one last breath she shouted "Starclan! Help me! Please!" Then the tree crashed into a boulder and she fell off the tree. The river through her around like she was a thin peice of moss. A wave crashed her into a rock. The wave was so powerful, and her injury on her head was so great, that she passed out. Her last thought before she passed out was 'I am dead.'

    Twoheart was surprised when she heard the screams. When she did, she had become frantic and raced towards the sound. When she saw the she-cat loose the hold on the branch her heart plummeted and she got choked up. The she-cat fell into the water and didnt reappear up. There was a moment of hesitation and then Twoheart dived in with fear of death for the she-cat.

    Temperance was thrown by the waves. She hit another rock and that woke her up. She clung onto the rock, but it was slippery and the waves threw her back into the water.

    Twohearts eyes stung horribly as she opened her eyes under the water. She flailed her paws and successfully started to swim toward the body sinking and rising in the water. The waves become even more fiercer and she determinedly swam towards the cat. She had to save her, she just had to! She got to her then a grabbed her with her mouth, clinging onto her neck skin. She swam powerfully up into the surface, pushing the cat up to catch her breathe.

    Temperance felt her neck being grabbed. She felt herself being pulled. Waves thrashed her and the cat the was holding her around. A hurricane wave grabbed them and threw them onto the shore. She didnt know about the other cat, but Temperance got thrown into a tree, knocked out, blood dripping from her head.

    As the giant wave rose up and threw them onto land, Twoheart let out a petrifying scream as the cat was thrown against a tree hard and she had been slammed into a tree branch. She found herself unsheathing her claws and hanging onto the branch. Pain erupted on her face and she had no idea why. She opened her eyes slowly in fear and realized when she had been thrown against the tree, pointy branches had punctured her skin, making the openings bleed and blood dripped in her eyes from a hole in her right ear. Pleading to Starclan for strength, she slowly clawed down the tree in agony. The burning heat of pain felt like it was coming off in waves and she knew she was dripping from head to toe in her own blood.

    Temperance woke with a jolt when the other cat was thrown against the tree. She saw a hollow in the tree and shouted to the cat below her "Climb up! Hurry! There is shelter in the tree! Hurry!"

    "NO!" Twoheart cried. Confined places frightened her to greatly. And besides, she had already climbed down. She woudlnt be able to do it again. "We have to run for it!" she shouted, another wave was starting to form, getting bigger and bigger.

    Temperance jumped off the tree, landing safely in the mud. She looked at the cat. "OK! Lets run!" she said as she started to run as fast as her little legs could carry her.

    OOC: Ya. If you read my first post, it said she is now 3 moons old


    IC: Temperance ran with the cat, her legs starting to burn and she slowed down. "I cant run that fast!"

    ooc: okay sorry :-X



    Twoheart immediately picked up the kit and put her on her back. "Hang on!" she cried as she began to race faster, the gigantic wave close behind them.

    OOC: Its ok! I have done that many times! XD


    IC: Temperance hung on and looked behind her. "The waves are getting faster!"

    "I can beat them!" Twoheart cried. She found herself running faster like a wild panther. She found strength come back to her and with that new strength she ran even faster. No cat could beat her if they had raced her at this time. It was as if the cold wind was gliding them. As if she was flying and running at the same time. Then she knew she had at that moment been gifted with so much strength from Starclan to save this kit.

    Twoheart ignored the kitten. She loved the feeling of the wind whipping through her short haired fur. As soon as she found herself at the Riverclans camp entrance her newly found strength had disappeared quickly and she had to use up all of her last strength to make it inside where she collapsed.

    Temperance fell off as the cat colapsed. She saw all of the faces staring at her and she ran and hid behind a tree. This place is scary, she thought.

    Twoheart laid there, gasping for breathe. When some strength crawled back into her limbs and stood up painfully and faced the kit. "Temperance. Its okay. They wont hurt you." she then sent a silent threat at all of the surrounding cats. She nodded for her to step out beside the tree and come to her.

    Temperance slowly walked out, very cautious about everyone who was watching her. One cat looked at her with big, angry eyes and she darted. She hid under a thorn bush, shaking to death.

    Twoheart dragged her self over to the bush. "Please. Come out. They WILL NOT hurt you. I promise." she whispered to her.
