Blackfeather Woods New blood

Before he knew it, Mac was slipping backwards to towards the icy cold water. He let out an instinctive yell as his paws became submerged, followed by the rest of his body. As his heart went below the waterline he could swear he felt it stop and his breath caught in his lungs as if every inch of him were frozen from inside to outside. It was then he felt himself hauled back onto land and air filled his lungs again, though he remained as cold as before. Looking up he saw what happened. Venus had pulled him to safety.

"I'm cold but thank you so much, I might have drown if you weren't here." She beckoned Mac for him to keep moving but all he wanted to do was curl up in a ball to keep all his warmth in. "I'll just stay here, it's nice an' warm here, with my tail over my nose, I don't wanna go anywhere I'll be cold again." He stubbornly stayed put and suddenly felt rather sleepy.
