The small tom slank through the reeds quietly, he needed improvement, but he liked to tell himself he was getting better...and stronger. He liked to think himself massive compared to the scrawny moonling kit he had once been, being a total of four moons now.
Today, he had snuck off to try swimming. It looked simple enough when his father did it. Why not try it himself. He slowly walked into the waters until he was up to his waist then he quickly let his legs drop and tried to paddle. He was soon squealing in alarm as the water started to claim his head, then he quickly met the swamp floor again.
To his horror he found out that swamp floors often sank and that swamp floor did just that, making the water rise or Goldkit sink until the water was almost to his mouth. He tried not to cry out for help, but what a predicament he was in!
Maybe death wasn't that bad, but didn't he have cats to kill, she-cats to toy with? Yup. He tried to jump, but had little success, it only caused, if anything, for him to sink even more. [/color] |

ooc: shadekit to the rescue!!!
Shadekit bounded after his friend when he saw him leave camp...he was bored, and usually if he was with gold, things got interesting...and this was even true when he came upon his friend, sinking in the mud/water (?)
"Gold!" Cried Shade and he cautiously inched closer to his friend; frightened he might sink as well. "dont worry, im gonna get you out of there!" he assured his friend as he shrunk back when he felt his paw sink in a little in the water.
Shadekit didnt like swimming...he didnt like water...this would be tough. the Black and white tom reached a paw out toward his friend, hoping he was close enough for goldkit to grab onto it

Goldkit whirled around when he heard his friend's voice, letting out a pitiful mew as he faltered and the mud claimed chin, causing him to madly struggle. When he saw his paw he tried to jump forward, only managing to get his front legs partially out of the murky substance. He swiped out with his paws toward his friend's paw, only a inch from contact. He jumped again, losing balance and falling on his side. His paws were free from the mud, but he was struggling to kee his head above water and his paws off the ground.
He slowly edge toward Shadekit as he struggled blindly to swim, giving a hard thump on the mud when he neared him to partially jump out of the water, teeth sinking into Shade's paw. He knew it must hurt his friend, but panick gripped at him like a bush of burs. With a nod he began to try and paddle to shore. "Poo!(edited version: Pull)" [/color][/center] |

Shreaking with suprise as he felt gold's teeth sing into his forpaw, he instinctivly tried to yank it back, pulling his friend, but also causing himself to fall forward into the water. Panicing, the kit thrashed about, trying to back up. his paw stung savagly as the cold dirty water entered his arm through the puncture marks. Wincing, Shade knew he had to help Gold before he could help himself. or was it the other way around? the black and white tom was in up to his tibias in the mud and he struggled forward and clasped his jaws around his friends neck (grabbing a bit more than the scruff^^  and then proceeded to backing up again |

Gold squealed in surprise as Shade fell in, making him fall on his butt in the mud. Determined this time, when Shade grabbed his flesh(also noting to get him back for it), he trudged through, using every ounce of strength to push his small paws through the thick substance.
Shore was only a little ways away, they could make it, he was sure of it. The kit was tiring fast and he felt he would collapse at any time, but he kept onward, determination and the will to live the only thing that gave him this strength. "Almost...there..." [/color][/center] |

shade struggled up again and took a few weak steps backwards. his feet were staying the same depth in, but he could feel the mud getting slightly firmer. Shade lifted a hind leg to free it; but consequently, it made his other three legs sink in deeper. The bi colored tom took a large step back with his free leg and pulled free a foreleg and placed it back, then the other foreleg... walking backwards was hard...  |

Gold was beginning to like the squish his paws made when they moved in and out of the mud.(I like that sound. Sue me.) He felt the mud began to firm and felt a new confidence. "Give it all you got!"
He began to push his legs forward in the mud quickly, desperate to hurry up and get out when they were so close to land. His head began to push into Shade's chest, trying to hurry him along to get the same speed he had going. The water/mud was getting shallower and firmer making Gold want to go even faster, but his lack of energy only permitted him to keep the 'fast' pace for a few moments then it was back to the slow pace of Shadekit leading and Gold struggling behind him.
OOC: crap post, I know, sorry |

ooc: actually, its not bad  Shade too was beginning to feel the 'firmness' (if you could call it that) of the mud around his paws. Shadekit snarrled as Gold's muddy head rammed into his chest. he wants to go faster??Fine!taking his friends body language the wrong way, The young tom surged up what ever remaining strength he had and swung his head around, still gripping the golden scruff between his jaws. the tom managed to pull his friend from his original spot to about a half a tail legth further. now, completely depleated of energy, but feeling that he was above the waterlevel now, he collapsed... |

Gold gave a yowl of surprise at his friend's sudden movement, feeling himself sink into the now shallow mud. He watched Shade collapse in horror, running to his side and nosing him lightly. He lifted a paw and took a step back then returned, uncertain as to what to do. He began to push his head against his side as he encouraged. "Come on, Shade, git up." [/color] |

Shadekit gave a grunt, but staggered up. The bi-colored tom carried himself low on weak limbs toward a patch of grass where he immediatly collapsed again.

The tom padded after him slowly, his breathing under control. He lowered himself beside him and sighed, laying his head on his paws. Maybe he could just sleep a bit before returning to camp... [/color] |
