Gingerwind sits by the river watching the water sliding by.She spots a shimmering scale of a fish object on the bottom and leans out from her perch on a sunning rock to try to catch it. She looses her balance on the rock and tumbles into the river. She splashes back up spluttering "h-h-HELP!!" her head goes under and again and she comes back up,thrashing and spluttering.

Padding along the riverbank, remarking the borders, Leafstar was leading a patrol. They had split up just a little while ago to save time. Approaching the river to get a drink, the tabby leader sees a ginger head thrashing in the current, desperate to stay above the water. She recognizes Gingerwind, one of her warriors. Alarmed, Leafstar wades into the water. She is still touching ground under foot, but in just a few inches, the bank slopes downward dramatically. Desperate to help but knowing that if she goes into the depths, she too, may struggle, and it will not help Gingerwind. So instead she turns around and reaches her tail towards the warrior, shouting over the gurgling water, "Grab my tail! I'll pull you in."

Gingerwind splashes over to leafstar and grabs her tail. the current tugs threatening to pull Gingerwind back out into the water but she manages to hang on.

Gathering all of her force, Leafstar begins to pull Gingerwind back onto shore. At last, they both collapse onto the shallow water, were only their paws are in real danger of anything. Panting loudly, the leader turns to look at the ginger warrior and asks breathlessly, "Are you all right?"

Gingerwind coughs up several mouthfulls of water and lays down with her flanks heaving "yeah,thanks leafstar....I was trying to catch a fish..." she begins to groom her fur "if we catch it on our side of the river it's not stealing is it?" she asks cautiosly. she shivers and sneezes.

"Oh no, its fine. It's just a little strange for ThunderClan to be catching fish. We normally leave that to RiverClan." Leafstar leans against Gingerwind to offer warmth, as she wasn't completely wet. "Come on, let's go back to camp." The leader leads the way back to camp at a steady pace, not wanting to rush the ginger warrior. Entering the camp, she automatically shouts out, "Wolfpelt! Gingerwind needs you!"

Wolfpelt was sitting warmly in her nest when she heard her name being called. She poked her head out of her den and spotted Gingerwind and Leafstar looking like drowned rats. She sped out and began to fuss. "What in the name of StarClan has happened to the two of you? Get your rumps in my den ASAP. I'll bring you some fresh-kill for you." And with that, she bounded over to the pile and dragged out a vole and a mouse.
OOC:: Sorry! Didn't see this one!

ooc: its ok.
Leafstar grinned at Wolfpelt worried attitude, but then it was her job to be worried, so she helped Gingerwind into the Medicine Cat's Den. It was cooler in there because of the shade, so she was a little chilly, but she paid it no mind.

Dreamstep heard a call for Wolfpelt and wondered who was injured. She stepped out of the warriors den and looked around. She saw Leafstar and Gingerwind step into camp, soaking wet. She bounded over to them, and curiously asked, " What happened to you?" She saw Wolfpelt hurrying them into the medicine cats den. She decided to wait and ask later.
OOC: Sorry that i posted randomly but i need to post with Dreamstep because she's new.

OOC: Perfectly fine.
"Gingerwind was drowning,"Leafstar explained to Dreamstep over her shoulder. When she said it now, it almost sounded amusing, but she knew it wasn't. She could have lost a valuable warrior back there. She flicked hers ears in that thought, as she normally did when troubled. But the ginger warrior was now safe, thank StarClan.

Leafstar looked around the den, wondering which one of Wolfpelt's many herbs she was going to receive. Hopefully nothing sour. Personally, she just thought she needed to get dry.

Wolfpelt returned shortly with two mice hanging from her jaws. She placed one in front of both almost drowned she-cats. She padded swiftly to the back of her den and began the search, all the while listing the herbs she was grabbing. "Thyme for calming... Crushed lotus root for energy... Skullcap seeds for strength... Huh, never thought I'd have to combine Culver's root and feverfew," she meowed. A Culver's root and feverfew combination was for water accidents, but the blend was probably used more in RiverClan than in ThunderClan. She pushed the little bundles in front of Leafstar and Gingerwind. She sat down in front of them to be sure all the herbs were ingested.

Gingerwind wrinkles her nose but eats the herbs she was given. She curls up her nose when she is finished "ugh,Next time,I'll be sure to have a riverclan friend nearby,or at least another thunderclan warrior that can swim better than me!" she jokes a little before stopping suddenly and sneezes again "it'd be just my luck if I caught a cold..." she flattens her ears and looks at learstar "oh by the way,I caught a strange scent while I was hunting that led me to the river before I lost it. It.....sorta smelled like crowfood,but it also was a canine. it couldn't have been a dog,because dogs don't smell like that" she wrinkles her nose remembering "maybe it was a fox?"

Leafstar obediently ate the herbs, trying not to make a face. Hearing Gingerwind's comment about the possible fox-scent, her ears raised in alarm. "I'll have a few warriors check that out. For now, we should probably go warm up."

Dreamstep heard Leafstar's reply and nodded. She turned and headed for the warriors den.
OOC: sorry it's short, useless. . .

Wolfpelt nodded to her leader. "That's right. Stay here where i can keep an eye on you, and warm up. I have to sort through some marigold." And with that, the shaggy cat turned and walked to the back of her den to a little pile of herbs.
OOC:: Short... meh...
