Her eyes scanned the tree tops frantically on an escape route, hoping to be able to gain ground and lead the others to safety. Her paws felt rooted to the ground as chaos unfolded around her, the mud reaching just below her belly fur. A small gray and yellow body caught her attention before her head disappeared underneath the murky depths. "Dapplepaw!" she screeched, heading towards the current wave of mud being hurtled towards them where she had vanished. Her eyesight had never left the spot as she came up onto it, desperately clawing at the murky ground blindly. "Please, please, please.." She begged her ears pinned to the back of her head.
At last, she had clawed a solid form that was eerily still. Screwing her eyes shut and holding her breath, Wildfleck submerged her head underneath before opening her jaws and clamping harshly onto Dapplepaws tuft. Water and mud instantly swarming her mouth as she held back coughing whilst trying to cling onto her apprentices fur.
After what felt like forever, her head broke the surface once more her eyes skewed shut. She turned, and trudged foreword blindly eventually feeling the water level reach just above her paws. Russetnoses' shrill call sounded around her as she laid Dapplepaw's limp body on the ground in front of her. Sickly anxiety rushed over her, "I have to f-f-in Dapplepaw first s-shes my apprentice, my first one" She sputtered on, pawing frantically at the small, mud slicked fur in front of her. "B-but I can't see, I- I can't see anything!" She cried out, sheathing her claws as best as she could with all the mud underneath them. Pawing frantically at her face where the mud had slowly dried up, light breaking its way out. She could see, still pretty foggy, but it was better than nothing. A whine broke out of the slicked she-cat as she gazed down at the sodden fur beneath her, leaning down to Dapplepaws nose and listening intently, but there was nothing. Wildfleck knew it, she was gone, and it was all her fault. "I- I will make this up to you." she whined out, dragging the apprentice to reside under a tree where the mud hadn't reached yet.
Her pelt weighed down her body as she splashed back into the muddy water, which had slowed down tremendously at this point. "Russetnose!" she called as she raced past him and back towards where she had found Dapplepaw. "Search here, this is where I found Dapplepaw." She rasped hoarsely, suddenly feeling like she hadn't had any water in a moon. "Patchpaw! Stormpaw!" She cried out, her voice breaking. Her paws worked furiously over the mud, rocks lodged themselves in between her claws and shredded her paw pads - But she didn't care, there wasn't any way she could lose anyone else. It was her fault she lead her patrol out this far anyways.

He had seen it coming, the whirl of black mud first swamped his paws and his tail was pulling him further down the slope due to the mud. His large black paws churned the mud, pain shooting up both of his forepaws as he collided with a larger stone. Panic set every nerve in his body on fire as he gazed around, Wildfleck was swimming towards the current yowling what sounded like nonsense to him, but where were his friends? "Stormpaw! Lemmingpaw!" He called out, a large rush of slick mud reaching just below his chin, "I-I need help! I think.." He grunted out, the pressure from the mud caked on his chest making his breath come out in raspy huffs.
Panic finally set in as he noticed everyone was already dealing with the mudslide on their own, he would have to get out of this on his own. He could feel his paws had already solidified below him, he yanked his paws and gut-wrenching pain that he had never felt before shot up into his shoulder. He cried out an ear splitting screech and threw his head back in pain as the water slowly filled his mouth. He spat it out, heaving at the grassy, mud filled taste that he couldn't get out of his mouth. Suddenly, the eerie creaking had silenced and the mud had stopped rushing against his body. His chest heaved with the effort to keep his head raised and above the level of water. Exhaustion clawed at the deepest parts of his bones, his eyelids fluttering in an effort to stay awake. Eventually the noises around him muffled out, the cry of cats, the exhaustion stopped- and the cold that gripped him seemed at last to let him go.
