Rough plunged into water that chilled him to his core. He paddled upward, trying his best to keep his head above water. Every time he got his head above the freezing waves, another would always push it down again. His ears were filled with the muffled noise of rushing water mixed with thunder and a numbness started to spread through his paws. After what seemed like hours of paddling, trying to keep himself from drowning, exhaustion spread through his body and he couldn't paddle anymore. His lungs burned as water filled them and one final thought crossed his mind.
I have to get to the surface. Tumble will be lost without me! I don't want to die! Then, everything went black.

Tumble ran along the side of the river, trying to keep track of Rough. His eyes filled with tears when Rough didn't come up when another wave pushed him down. As he ran, the river became shallower and shallower until it stopped at a small pond. A motionless body lay on his end of the shore.
"Rough!" Tumble whispered, running over to his brother's body.
"Rough..." he sobbed. After a moment of staring at his brother's body, his eyes widened.
"I.. I h-have to get you help!" he said, grabbing his brother's scruff and standing up. He definitely wasn't going to go back to Sparrow, the former Ckan cat probably wasn't going to be able to help. He thought for a moment and then a sudden thought came to his mind:
WillowClan would be able to save him! He turned around and hauled his brother's body in some random direction, hoping that he was going towards WillowClan's camp.
