 It took a while for the brown apprentice to find her Clan. Finally she found all her Clanmates on an elevated platform, huddled together. Some shivered. Some sneezed.

 Talonshine shrieked, racing toward her daughter.

 Mousesplash and Goldenpaw jumped into the water to save Talonshine. Goldenpaw helped Talonshine back onto land, with Mousesplash close behind.

Talonshine, Goldenpaw, Silverpaw, and Bronzepaw screamed at once. Silverpaw dropped into the floods in hope for finding Mousesplash.

"Mousesplash drowned...."
