Falling Water

A fanfic by Mistybird.

=One - Cherrypaw== Being underwater isn't fun. So falling down a waterfall is horrible.

---In the beginning---

Cherrypaw blinked open a small green eye. It was the crack of dawn, and all the others were asleep. Finally, she thought, I can hunt on my own. Creeping out of the den, she raced out of camp and breathed in the sweet scent of the forest. It was prey-rich in the morning, with no cats to scare it off. She spotted a vole, and pounced on it, grinning.

"Yes!" Cherrypaw murmured to herself. After catching two mice, she saw the sun climbing into the sky. She ran back to camp with her catches. Cats started to pad out of their dens. When her mentor padded out of the warriors den, Cherrypaw put her prey on the pile.

"Good job, Cherrypaw." Lionfire, her mentor, praised. Cherrypaw held her head high.
