Miraclepaw rushed awkwardly ahead of her brother, and grinned. "Bet ya can't catch me!" she teased, looking back over her shoulder at him. She made faces at him not bothering to look where she was going, and then - SPLASH! - fell right into a little pond. Her gray figure sunk deep in the water, and then dissapeared. Bubbles streamed to the top, then stopped. As if Miraclepaw was dead. Underwater she smirked, she was going to get the better of Thunderpaw if it was the last thing she did. Now he'd have to come in after her, and she'd avoid his outstretched paws and swim to the surface when he did. Might as well have some fun before the punishment of our lives.

"Miraclepaw!" Thunderpaw yowled before jumping into the pond after her. He had always been overprotective of his sister due to her disability, so he wasted no time in trying to save her. He hit the freezing water with a splash, and went under. He opened his eyes, trying to see his sister through the murky water. But it was no use. He couldn't see anything. He swam back to the surface, panting for air. Then all of a sudden, Thorn came running over. "Thunder!" He meowed, "Is Miracle in there?" Thorn's eyes were filled with worry for his young daughter. Thunderpaw only nodded, too worried to say anything to his father, or to correct him for using his loner name. Thorn jumped into the pond too, and the two toms dove under the water, searching for Miraclepaw.

Miraclepaw tried to swim up, but then she let out a soundless scream. Her ankle was caught in some plants, and she struggled to get back up for air. "Help!" she mewled, but it came out a gurgle. She writhed back and forth, trying to free herself.
Jade dashed forward and plunged into the pond, swimming down towards Miraclepaw's murky figure.

As Thunderpaw came to the surface of the pond to catch his breath, he saw a stream of bubbles coming to the surface. He swam over as fast as he could, and dove straight down. He bumped right into his sister, and tried to pull her to the surface. He realized she was stuck, but he didn't know how to free her. Thorn followed his son and ended up by his side in a few moments. He realized that his daughter was caught in the plants, so he began to shred them with his claws.

In the moments Thunderpaw got to take a breath of air, Miraclepaw was still holding her breath. She struggled and clawed at the plants, trying to go up for air.
Jade scraped her claws against the plants, easily shredding them.

Thunderpaw also shredded the plants along with his parents. He scratched at them furiously, trying to free his sister as soon as he could. When he judged that the plants were almost completely shred, he grabbed Miraclepaw by her scruff and gave her a sharp tug, trying to free her.

The plants broke quickly as the world turned to a haze around Miraclepaw. She felt a dull pain at the back of her ankle, like something had scratched her, but she was too numb to figure out. Suddenly a pulling at the back of her neck made her confused. "Wha?" she meowed, but for some reason it came out a gurgle. Where was she? Why couldn't she...why couldn't she speak..?
Jade helped Thunderpaw drag Miraclepaw to the surface, and then pulled the limp ball of gray fur towards shore. "Ah...Miracle..." she sighed.

Thorn began to swim to the surface behind his mate. He grabbed onto Miracle when he reached the surface, and helped drag her to the shore. After a while, his paws could reach the bottom of the pond and he stood, trying to drag his daughter onto the shore. Thunderpaw also dragged Miraclepaw onto shore. Then he stepped back and looked at her, panting hard. "Will she be okay?" He asked, looking at his mother, Jade.

Miraclepaw opened her mouth and coughed up a lot of water. She blinked, and then smiled helplessly. "Oops?" she mewed, then coughed a little more water up, "Sorry. I couldn't help myself! I wanted to spook Thunderpaw, but it turned out my foot got caught, so...sorry again." Then she stifled a gasp. She had used Thunderpaw's new name. She closed her eyes, praying they wouldn't notice.
Jade narrowed her eyes. "Thunderpaw?" she growled. She sighed, expression softening. Shaking her head, she sat down, tail twitching. "So you two decided to join the Clans? I suppose I should've seen it coming..," she murmured.
Miraclepaw sighed. "Fox dung," she whispered under her breath, "So much for getting on their good side first."

Thunderstar bounded up behind them out of the bushes. "Thunderpaw, Miraclepaw, you shouldn't ever run ahead like that! Especially outside FernClan territory." She meowed sternly. "Not all Clans are friendly to each other." She saw two other cats with the two apprentices. "Oh, I'm sorry. I see they are both okay. Are you two Thunderpaw and Miraclepaw's parents?" Thunderstar asked awkwardly, but kindly at the same time.

Thunderpaw and Thorn both turned to look at Thunderstar as she entered the clearing. Thorn was a little wary of the clan cat, since the last time he had come in contact with the clans, he had committed murder. "Yes." He meowed, his brown eyes showing no emotion. "We are their parents. My name is Thorn and her name is Jade." He continued, motioning with his tail towards his mate. Then Thunderpaw looked at his parents. "Are you guys mad at us?" He asked.

OOC: Thorn was a murderer? XD
Jade narrowed her eyes, frowning. "Oh yes, we're mad. But really, we can't do anything to stop it now can we?" she murrowed, voice flat and emotionless. She was really scared of Thunderstar, but didn't show it. Her parents had told her about how horrible the Clans were, though recently she learned they were the traitors, being rogues.

Thunderstar sighed, relieved no violent reaction came from the two's parents. "Well, I can assure you, your kits will be safe and raised well in FernClan, so don't worry about them--so much." She added the last part, knowing that they would still worry about Miraclepaw and Thunderpaw even if she showed them every bush of FernClan territory. Also, being a mother herself, she worries about her own kits even though their in her own Clan. "Is there....anything you want to ask about the Clan Miraclepaw and Thunderpaw are going to live at?"

"Well..." Jade murmured, weighing her options, "You see, I really was hoping maybe I could check in on them every so often...or maybe even..." She shook her head quickly. "No, I wouldn't be good in Clan life. I...I'm terrified of...Clan cats," she mewed hastily, half to herself.
Miraclepaw released her breath satisfiedly. "Its okay Mom, you don't have to."

Thunderstar understood and nodded. "Yes, you can visit every now and then if you wish. I would never force Clan life apon a cat if they had the want to remain free of it." Hesitating, she added, "And if you don't mind me asking....I know it may not be my business...but what makes you scared of Clan cats?"
