AN: Hey! This is Nutmeg and Cat. :) Cat is writing this chapter, with Nutmeg's help, of course. We'll have the allegiances at the end, for the Clans. See 'yall at the end!
*Cinnamon's POV*
As we stepped through the portal, I gripped Deadlox's hand tightly in mine. When we went inside, the world around us seemed to be a swirl of greens and browns and grays until we all tumbled out onto a patch of soft, warm grass.
Opening my eyes, I saw a dark brown cat with reddish eyes shaking its paw. Drops of blood sprinkled onto the ground, dying the grass a deep crimson.
"Notch, that hurt," the cat muttered, his voice easily recognizable to me as Deadlox's. "Hey, what are we?"
I looked down at my feet, not entirely surprised to see ginger legs with creamy paws attached at the ends. "I-I think we're cats," I answered him, looking at my back and twitching my new-found tail. "Come on, guys," I added as I saw the other cats recovering. "Let's go find something so we can see what we look like. I'd hate going into this blind."
Some of the others nodded, and we headed down the hill toward a small pond near the end. When we arrived, I was able to see myself more clearly. I was long-haired, for starters. My fur color was ginger, and my paws, tail-tip, nose, and ears were creamy, and my eyes were the same leafy green as before.
"Well, this is an odd pickle we've gotten ourselves into, now, isn't it?" a dark brown cat with a black path around his eyes, sort of like sunglasses, meowed. "Look at us! We're all cats."
A black tom-cat with lighter hairs among his pelt rolled his eyes. "Well, it's not all that bad, now, is it?" he pointed out blandly. "Especially after you guys came back from being ponies and all. This is better, isn't it?"
I guessed this was Logemaster. He'd always had this sort of attitude, looking on the bright side. I hated people like that.
I padded over to Logemaster and tried to slap him. My paw whisked right by his head, narrowly missing it by an inch. He ducked away, falling over onto a dark brown tabby. Both cats fell into the pond. We all watched, horrified, as their heads sunk slowly under the water.
*Tinypaw's POV*
I padded down the slope just as I saw two cat-like heads disappear under the water of a pond on our territory. The first cat was a light black tom, who had seemed to collapse onto the dark brown tabby tom. Being a RiverClan cat and all, I couldn't leave them there to drown! So I sprinted down the hill, ignoring the gasps from the watching cats as I plunged into the freezing water.
Opening my eyes, I caught the two struggling, trying to swim to the top. But the more they kicked, the more they sank.
I struck out for the bottom, my black paws curving and pulling myself through the cool water. Opening my mouth, I gripped the light black tom's scruff between my jaws and pushed upward.
When I surfaced, I heard him gasp for air. I placed the tom on the ground, and his friends crowded around him as I plunged back in.
The dark brown tabby tom had reached the bottom. He had closed his eyes, and was completely limp in the water. Is he dead? I immediately shook the thought away and pulled him out as well.
When I lay him on the grass, he hadn't started breathing again. One of the other cats, an auburn Egyptian Mau she-cat, shouldered her way through the crowd of the others. "He's just got water in his lungs," she mewed to them, placing her own paws on the tabby's chest.
Meanwhile, a pale gray she-cat with white patches crouched over the brown tabby's body. Her pale blue eyes sparkled with worry, and she was muttering things I couldn't make out, but I guessed this cat might be her mate.
The Egyptian Mau pressed hard on the tom's stomach until he coughed up enough water to fill a river.
"Toby!" the gray she-cat cried. She reached out both her front paws, and fell back on her butt, dazed.
The brown tabby tom stood up on all four paws.
"What happened to me?" he asked, rubbing his head with a paw.
I sat down and wrapped my tail neatly around my paws.
"I'm Tinypaw. And you just almost drowned."
