"Okay! We'll be back before sunrise!" Tumble meowed cheerfully. He padded over to Rough and they began their hunting trip. Before going into the forest, he turned back to Sparrow.
"Bye!" They went into the forest and started their hunt. Tumble heard the noise of a bird flapping it's wings coming from a nearby bush. He got down onto all fours and started stalking towards the bush. After he looked at it for a bit, he noticed that the leafless bush had a bird stuck inside! He noticed that the bird's neck was visible, so he stuck his head in, killed it, and retrieved the dead bird. The two decided to bury the bird and retrieve it later. They continued their hunt. After a while, they had caught a few more things and it was very close to sunrise.
"We should go back soon," he meowed. Tumble nodded and they were about to start hunting again when rain started to fall and a strong wind buffeted their fur.
"We have to go." Rough meowed. Tumble nodded. They started their run back. As they ran, they came across the river that ran through WillowClan territory and they had to cross before getting back to the Thunderpath. It was quickly filling up and the stepping stones had already been covered. Their gazes shot to a tree that had fallen over the river.
"Should we cross?" Tumble asked his brother.
"I think we should." Rough thought for a moment, nodded, and started to cross. Rough was in the middle of crossing when he started to slip. Tumble's eyes widened. Rough looked back at Tumble and steadied himself. He let out a sigh of relief. Rough continued to cross. Right as he was about to get to the end of the tree, right as he was about to get to safety, there was a flash of light and the fallen tree split in two!
"Brother!" Tumble shrieked.
