"Minnowstreak!" Called out Stormbreeze "Minnowstreak! Save me!"

Minnowstreak watched in horror as the river practically clawed at his mate. The strong waves were like paws, pulling her under.

And then she was gone...

The love of his life, gone.

The crashing of the waves sounded like they where mocking his pain.

The rock were Stormbreeze had fallen was covered with her blood.

The river was laughing at him.

The world was laughing at him.

(Line break)

Minnowstreak woke up, screaming.

It had been nightmare after nightmare since Stormbreeze had died.

Every morning, he woke up in fear from his nightmares. The nightmares about the monstrous river. He woke up, screaming.

At first Minnowstreak's clanmates had comforted him. Now he was pretty sure everyone thought he was annoying and pathetic.

Minnowstreak walked over to the fresh-kill pile, and picked out a mouse. He then walked over to a tree that had just enough leaves to give a little shade.

Since it was still early, and not many cats were up, Minnowstreak curled up to take a quick nap.

Drops of water began coming down on him.

The drops slowly turned into pouring down rain.

The rain kept getting heavier and heavier, until it wasn't rain.

He was at the bottom of a river. Minnowstreak started to float up towards the surface.

As soon as he tasted the fresh air, the current swept him down, the waves pulled him further. The they pulled him back under the water.

Minnowstreak leapt up.

"It's the waves!" He started to yell in panic while running around in circles "They're going to drown us all!"

Minnowstreak began to realize he was not underwater. He wasn't drowning. He was in camp.

He looked up to see one of the apprentices had been shaking the tree branches so the dew would fall on him.

His clanmates started laughing

"Scared of a few dew drops?" one asked, from his spot on the tree branch.

"Aww," another started jumping down from the tree "The fish is scared of where he belongs."

Even apprentices were making fun of him.

All the cats laughed even harder at this.

His friends were laughing at him.

His home was laughing at him.

The world was laughing at him.

Minnowstreak's vision began to darken. He heard his clanmates laughing turn to cries.

Minnowstreak opened his eyes and gasped at what he saw.

Blood flowed on the ground in every direction.

The stench of death hung over the camp.

Minnowstreak felt something wet underneath his paws.

He looked down to see his paws were covered with the blood of his clanmates.

A breeze was blowing in the camp. The breeze almost sounded like it was laughing.

The world was laughing at his pain.

The world was mocking his fears.
