a quick drink

Amber moves slowly through the forest in search of water. She still thinks if the deal she has made with Runt was a smart one.If they catch you, your done smart one! She shakes her head in protest. A part of her says she is doing the right thing, but the other part disagrees highly. She nearly stumbles as she reaches the lake. She stares down into the clear water studying her reflection. A small, timid wolf stares back up. She dips her muzzle into the water, taking gulps at a time, trying to wash away her mixed emotions. Her paws suddenly slip and she suddenly plunges into the water. She gasps as water flushes over her head and pulls her under. Her head bobs back up and she yelps, "Help! Help!" But she gets a mouthful of water instead. Her paws flail madly. She tries to control her movement, but the current is moving to fast.


As her head splashes out again, she lets out a quick, distressed howl. Hopefully someone would come. The current tugs her under again, this time all the way down to the surface. Please someone, anyone! She was running out of time, and she didn't feel like dying today either!
