If Turtle Tail Hadn't Died

Prologue
I easily leaped across the stepping stones in the river, and came to a Thunderpath. Oh no, I thought. I recalled that Shaded Moss had died on a Thunderpath, and if I wasn't careful, I would, too. I padded up to it, as the monsters zoomed past. They didn't seem to notice me - dumb creatures.

Once it was clear, I ran across the Thunderpath, but a monster was coming. I froze in fear, and the monster came a whisker-length away. But the force of it blew me back, and and on my belly, wow that was unlucky, skidded across the Thunderpath and hit my head on a branch. Everything went black.

Chapter One
I opened my eyes, and blinked, when I saw Thunder and Lightning Tail. "Turtle Tail! Wait, your dead," mewed Thunder in confusion. "No, I'm not," I replied. But I realized that blood pooled the ground and my knee had a trickle of blood running down it, and my other knee, well, it was just plain busted open.

"Oh, well I can see why you thought that," I laughed. I tried to stand up, and when I did, both my knees stung. "Your not fit to fight Tom," Thunder meowed. "Of course not," I mewed. A silver cat was with my two campmates. "River Ripple will take you home," Lightning Tail promised. "Come on," the silver cat mewed calmly.

No monsters were on the Thunderpath, so it was a breeze to cross. When we arrived, the camp yowled, "Turtle Tail!"

"What happened to your knees?" Gray Wing asked. "A monster blew me across the Thunderpath," I replied. "But don't worry - Thunder and Lightning Tail are on it."

Chapter Two
When the kits returned, they were happy to see me, and they nestled into their nest almost instantly. As they curled into my warm fur, we all fell asleep.
