Prolouge-
Three young kits raced away from a group of bigger cats. They dodge dogs and twolegs and jump over trash. The largest one, a black tom with amber eyes glanced back at his younger siblings who were struggling to keep up. He looked ahead and saw a pipe just big enough for them to squeese through. "Hawk! Moth! This way!" He shouted and changed directions. His siblings followed him. He stopped at the pipe and shoved Hawk and Moth inside before diving in as well. He could hear the BloodClan cats shouting at him. One even grabbed his tail. But he managed to get away and rushed over to his siblings. They were huddled up in the corner, shivering and cuddling to keep warm. The little tom walked over to them and wrapped his paws around them to warm them up. And to make matters worse, rain started pouring through the holes in the roof. Hawk looked up at his older brother with scared eyes. "T-tadpole?" He asked, shaking. "H-how are we gonna find mama's owner now?" Moth looked up at him as well. "And how are we gonna get home? Mama will be so worried." She whimpered, tears leaking from her amber eyes. Tadpole smiled at them. "It's okay guys. We'll be alright. Hey!" He sniffed the air. "Guess what I smell?" Hawk sniffed the air as well. "Mouse!" He replied, a smile spreading across his muzzle. Moth smiled too. "Well what are we waiting for?" Se mewed. "Let's go catch it!"
"Yeah!" Hawk agreed. Then he peered at the maze of pipes across the room near the one they'd used to get in. "Uh, Tadpole? Is that pipe leaking?" He asked, swinging his head in the direction of the pipe. Tadpole looked closer at it. "Yeah, it is. Better open the window, just in case." He said and padded over to where the windo was and leaped up onto the sill. Then he pushed it open with his paws and leaped off, heading back towrds his siblings.
Meanwhile, Moth and Hawk watched the water dripp faster and faster until it was rushing out like a river. "Tadpole! I tink we might have a problem!" Moth shouted as the water swallowed her paws. "It's flooding!" Tadpole shouted. "Hawk, grab my tail! Moth, I'll get your scruff." He yelled and buried his fangs in his sisters scruff just as the water rushed over their heads. "Swim!" He managed to cry out before he was completely submerged. He flung his paws back and forth in a vain attempt to swim. But nothing worked. So he just relaxed and let the current carry him along, is lungs starting to ache from the lack of air. Just as he felt e couldn't old his breath any longer, he felt teeth sink into his ruff and drag him upwards. His head broke the surface and he took a huge gulp of air. Tadpole felt Hawk letting go of his tail and looked back to see him being picked up onto the windowsill by Sahsa. Their mother. Se set him down next to Moth, they were both shivering. "Tadpole! Reach for me!" Sahsa yowled and reached out her paws the farthest shecould towrds him. He tried to grab her paws but missed. He kept trying but his attempts grew weaker and weaker. His body tiring enough that he couldn't even keep his head above water. "Goodbye mamma. I tried." He whispered softly and let himself slip under the surface. He flew this way and that, being knocked aginst twoleg rubbish and being thrown along with the current. Tadpole opened his eyes and felt himself begin to sink. This is it. I'm going to die. Tadpole thought. Then he let out the air he'd been so desperately keeping in. Watching his bubbles float to the surface as he sank lower and lower, feeling his head buzz and his lungs ache. Goodbye everyone. I'll miss you. Tadpole thought. And then all went black.
