The Crook

Prologue
The pattering of water echoed over the cliffside, the pounding of water with it. Enough to strike fear into even the best swimmers, the falls were a dangerous place for Riverclan; causing deaths from falling in. Once you are into the falls, you don't come out. Water beats down on you like the claws of a lion, and bites down on you like the jaws of a tiger. You are held under by the current, and the water splashes the sides of the steep banks.

You drown. Once you are in the falls, you don't come back out. Not even your body can be retrieved. Although part of their territory, Riverclan cats have a tendency to stay away from the falls. As it's too risky to fish there, and the fact that it's part of the gorge.

Of course, it's deadly unless you know what you're doing. Running from Clan Cats, shouting behind you 'Prey thief! Prey thief! Intruder!' The falls are very handy, round the tree, and down the hill. Skim the stones wet with the rushing water, feel yourself be splashed by the waterfall as it roars beside you from just a moment. Then you land.

You feel your paws land on sand. Frightened frogs hopping away from their place by the calm river. The cats are no longer there, you are free to go. How do I know?

Hi, my name is Crook. I live in the gorge.
