Hanging by a Branch

[Deleted]

OOC: (Thistlebranch was my first cat, and it's his time to die ; - ;  ) (Cats may try to save him but he will die from drowning either way)

The river roots was usually a calm place for the tom. . . not today. He had fallen in after trying to catch a fish, and his leg was now caught between the roots. His head just couldn't reach the air!

Just a little further! He thought and managed to maneuver enough to get a single breath in before being dragged back underneath the water. but one breath wasn't enough. . . His vision started to fade and his muscles grew eerily tired as he gave one final kick to the roots.

It was worth a try. . . He thought and let memories of when he was a kittypet flow through his mind, all the way up to when he was an apprentice and became a warrior. He remembered hunting with his friends- fighting off trespassers, and the rouges one time. 

Even if I had the chance, I wouldn't change a thing. . . He thought as his vision went completely dark and liquid filled his lungs. He no longer felt the need to breathe, or to move. It was all over.

Stripetail was padded towards the river roots. He saw a cat drowning. He yelled," hey I coming". She ran towards the cat drowning and jumped in the water. He tried to grab the cat, but the current was pulling her away. She thought I is me or him, I have kits to go home to, he doesn't. He sighed and jumped out out of the water and hung her head. She muttered," I'm sorry". He closed her eyes.

Go, leave me, it's too late anyway. He would whisper to the wind as Stripetail attempted to drag his body from the water. The stars were around him now. Don't be sorry HE would whisper again, urging the wind to pass the message onto the young cat. She had tried, and that's all that was needed of her. It was time for Thistlebranch to go and join the stars.

He turned around and saw cats waiting for him, each with stars in their pelts. As he looked down, he saw that his paws were also starry and transparent. "Welcome to Starclan, Thistlebranch" He herd a voice say as he walked up to them with a bright smile. He thought back to his memories once again.

I wouldn't have changed a thing.
