The water rushed around her, stifling any chance of breathing. Frantically working her paws the she-cat tried to swim to shore, yet it never seemed closer. Giving one last struggle she tried to keep her head above the water. Then all her energy was gone and she began to slip beneath the surface. Somehow finding a small amount of energy she pushed her head above the water and tried to get someone, anyone’s, attention. Nothing came out and she again slipped beneath the surface.

Waking up with a start and covered in sweat, Dawnpaw looked around. Most of the others had left early to train, but there were a few left. Hoping she hadn’t disturbed their rest she quietly excited the apprentice den. The day was warm, but the apprentice shivered from the lingering fear of the dream. Those dreams had haunted her for as long as she could remember, yet they still gave her the worst feeling inside.

Taking a deep breath Dawnpaw tried to focus on what was going on in the real world, rather than her dreams. Remembering what her day was going to be like that day she smiled. There would be no fetching moss or water soaked moss. The sun was shining and so was the excited apprentice. Cricketleap had decided to take her out to train, and the she-cat was beyond ecstatic. Dawnpaw was in no way hiding her excitement. She was trying hard to keep still but it was near impossible. Tail twitching she looked around for her mentor.
