"Look there's Moonmouth!" exclaimed Iceheart
"Only a little farther!" cried Swiftstar as she raced ahead "Ah fur ball! The land bridge is under water!"
When we had caught up we saw that this was true.
"Oh!" I exclaimed "You silly fur balls it's high water! We can cross now or we can cross later and get wet!"
"We are Water Clan it should not matter if we get our paws wet! Come on I'll race you across!" Swiftstar yelled over her shoulder as she raced across the bridge "Ha you guys are so slow, Faster!" she sped across and was halfway across before we stepped on the bridge.
"Swiftstar! Watch out!" cried Iceheart
"What?" she asked right before a muscular tom rammed her in the side and she flew into the water
I lept into the water and swam with all that was my muscles when I had reached them I started fighting the cat
"Stop! Peace! Mercy I'm just the cat whom is condemned to be the one who keeps peace on the island!" the tom said
"Why did you attack Swiftstar then? I asked
" It's the law Water Clan cats have to swim the rest of the way."
"What!"
"Swim, You have to swim the rest of the way. It proves that you are who you say you are
"Oh." I sighed, "Well come on let's swim."
I slowly plunged into the cold ocean around the land bridge. We leapt up onto dry land and shook ourselves dry.
