Chapter 10 - The Flood

Oreo's POV

Oreo curled up under a bush, shivering as he waited for the storm to end. Honestly, all that was good about living with Thunderclan was the fact that he got to see Streamleaf's face every day. If he were the leader, he would have a bunch of she cats just hunting for him all day. Pretty, mild tempered ones. He didn't care about their personality.

Right now, Oreo was too cold to care about anything. His breath came in quick puffs, sending icy clouds into the air. There was so much fog that he couldn't tell it from his breath. He didn't even try to; he was so stiff and cold. It felt like he was turning into a block of ice.

Time passed, and the rain subsided. Oreo didn't notice, however, as he was drenched completely. Nor did he find out that the camp was swamped, and so was he, until the fog lifted.

Oreo strained his ears for any sign of life near him. A while passed before he saw Streamleaf's body in the water.

At first, Oreo thought she was dead, and prepared to wail his eyes out. But then he saw her graceful strokes, and realized she was swimming towards him. A savior at last.

Without a word, Streamleaf grabbed him by the scruff and did an about face in the water. He remained silent as she swam the length of the camp, carrying him. He could hear her panting distantly, and his vision slowly ebbed away...

Oreo woke up in a dim cave, lying sloppily in a nest of bracken. It felt scratchy and weird.

Not far from him lay more bodies, none of which were the dirt red of Mahogany's. Dissapointingly enough, Oreo had completely forgotten about his brother's new name.

A shadow he had previously analyzed as from the cave walls shifted. "Oreo? Are you awake?"

"No."

Streamleaf forced a laugh, but Oreo heard pain deep in her voice. "Mintstar doesn't know your alive."

"And vice versa?" Oreo asked.

"Yes. But the point is, she might exile you. Because this looks like Starclan "

"Well if she is dead, Iceclaw won't," he mewed.

"Oh." It was obvious that she had missed his ceremony.

Oreo tucked his head tighter onto his paws. He pretended to sleep, thinking about his new plan, until Streamleaf left and he was free to roam.

Ok guys, I'm really sorry about the whole week-I was on a mountain. I didn't know they provided free wifi, so I didn't bring any devices that could efficiently log on to FFn. I'm going to update again today, but try 1st person POV.
