The group of cats soon came a pond. It wasn't very deep but Ebony was a cat now so it would be alot deeper then normal.
She looked around the bank and soon spotted a bundle of lilypads. Ebony crawled into the shallow bit of the water and dragged each of the lilypads onto the sand.
"What can we do to help?" Redpaw asked.
"Help me get these lilypads onto the sand." Ebony coughed, pulling another lilypad from the water.
The other cats jumped into the shallow water and began to drag the lilypads off out of the water. Ebony inspected each lilypad and soon found that what she was looking for wasn't there.
"Can any of you swim?" she asked the cats as she looked up.
"Swim?" the dusty gray tom asked, "Are you joking? The only cats that can swim around here are from WaterClan!"
"Then I'll have to do this by myself." Ebony replied, walking to the egde of the shallow water, "I'll be right back."
Ebony took a deep breathe and jumped into the water. It wasn't more then a foot deep to her, but if she were human it would have been more like six inches. She crawled around the bottom of the pool for a few seconds then pushed up with all her might to the surface of the water.
Her broke through and she looked towards the shore. All the cats were stareing at her. Each of them had their unblinking eyes watching her.
Ebony dived again and came to the bottom of the pond and found the moss at the bottom. She pulled the moss up from the muddy floor with her teeth and as soon as she had a bundle of it, she pushed herself to the surface.
She paddled to the shallow waters, making sure not to let go of the moss. Each of the cats were still watching her. Ebony padded onto the sand and set the moss down.
"How did you do that!" Marshpaw asked, "I thought you couldn't walk right!"
"Just because I can't walk," Ebony said, looking up, "doesn't mean I can't swim."
"What is this thing?" a small silver she-cat asked sniffing the moss.
"That is the moss found at the bottom of ponds, pools and lakes." Ebony replied.
"Okay, but there isn't any time for questions right now!" Redpaw exclaimed. "We've got to get this back to Leafpelt!"
Ebony clambered out of the water, grabbed the moss and the group of cats ran through the forest back to the ThunderClan camp.
