Silvertip Mountain Distract me from life

Odette was really glad to be last.  Her tail drooped as her Mother carried her out of the water, holding her by the scruff, and then placing her down at the bank of the water source.  Odette's curious eyes danced over the water.  She wondered what it was made of... Odie then listened as her Mother began to talk, but didn't really pay much attention to the lecture.  She was too focused on the water... it was just so fascinating.  Did it always move like it did right now?  Was it alive like herself?

A small and almost inaduble whimper escaped Odette's mouth.  She really wanted to go back into the water, but was scared that Mother might get mad at her since she had already been taken out once already, along with her siblings.  She wondered why they had even been taken out of the water in the first place....  Why couldn't they have stayed?
