Firepaw

"RiverClan, attack!"

At those words, Squirrelstar and the other s launched into battle.

Firepaw watched as Shadowpaw was hit by a small, lithe black she-cat. She was launched towards a bundle of roots that was covered in feathers. Tigerdusk headed towards there to grab her, and Firepaw saw a large golden-brown tom stop him. 

She winced as claws raked against her muzzle. A dark gray tom was standing there, his right paw stained in her blood. Firepaw hissed, lashing out with her paws. But she was slow and clumsy, and the tom ducked nimbly and head-butted her soft belly. Firepaw winced, the breath knocked out of her.

"RiverClan, into the water!" Someone shouted, and the RiverClan cats streamed into the water. 

All was silent, and Firepaw didn't like that.

"Did we win?" She asked. 

Her sister's mentor, Nightsong, meowed. "Maaaaaaybe....?"

A splash near the end of the stream caused all of the ThunderClan cats to look at the cause of the splash. 

Firepaw felt a paw brush her back leg, and she hoped that it was just the wind, and she was suddenly yanked towards the river. She opened her mother to yowl, but she was pulled under the river. Firepaw struggled, and she could see the faint blob of something blue-gray above her, swirled with silver.

Is it a river spirit? A cat of StarClan? She thought dizzly. 

She stopped struggling, feeling the energy leaving her, and she surfaced. She felt claws scrape clumsily against her leg, and she was pulled under again.
