As the storm raged on, the mud deepened, the rain strengthened she had fallen behind. Her soaking, thick fur stuck to her skin and she was only glad that it wasn't leafbare. At Thunderpaw's suggestion, she laughed grimly. "Wouldn't that be great?" She called back, barely able to hear her own voice over the thunder. And a amusing thought struck her. Wouldn't it be so ironic if she really were back at camp, and we got lost and went missing ourselves looking for her? She nearly laughed at the thought. But she knew that with Aspenleaf here, they would never get lost. He was an experienced warrior and she trusted him to guide them home through the raging storm.

Thunderpaw hated the feeling of the mud squishing between his toes. He knew getting it out of his fur and claws later was going to be a nightmare. But what he hated more was the steady feel of the watery mud growing thinner as it mixed with water and became deeper. It was nearly a mouse-length deep now. Bunching his back legs he tried to jump back up onto a log to get out of it, but the mud didn't want to let go and his jump was mistimed. At the same instant, his back legs slid out from under him instead of breaking free of the mud. He ended up pitching backwards instead of forwards and falling on his side in the deep sucking muck. Fear jolted through him like an electric strike as he realized even standing up and pulling himself out of the mess was becoming very difficult. He managed to hook his claws into a nearby log and pull himself up to safety. Pausing to catch his breath, gasping, he realized how tired he was from walking through the mud. Nonetheless he drug himself to his feet and bolted forward, eager to keep up and eager to get out of these dangerous wastelands.

Sedgepaw hadn't been paying attention to Thunderpaw until he slipped, and she heard a muddy splash. Turning her head sharply, she would have helped him up if she could hurry up. "Are you okay?" She called, steering herself to the shallower side, where the logs were. However, even on the bit of higher ground the mud was still deep and watery. Frustrated, she steered closer to a log and lifted her paws slowly from the slick ground and onto the log, latching her claws into the watery wood. Pulling herself up with on thrust, she skidded onto the log, hoping that it would keep it's ground while she were on it. Sedgepaw lay there for a moment before she built the courage to shakily stand up. The log moved slightly when she did, and she immediately jumped on another one. Deciding it would be easier to jump across the logs than to move in the mud, she jumped from log to log until the next one was too far. Crouching down and bracing herself for the leap, she hoped that she would be lucky with this one, or else she would have to wade through mud-water. Sedgepaw leapt towards the log, and felt her claws scrape against it's surface. But then she landed in the deep, cold mud and the loose log detached from the ground where it stood before and headed down the tiny slope, towards her clanmates. "Watch out!" She yowled, although she knew that with the mud this deep, she could only hope that it wasn't heading directly towards them.

Thunderpaw didn't understand Sedgepaw's yowl, he couldn't hear well over the wind and rain, nor could he see well through it. Than the log came close enough to be visible and everything snapped into place at once and he understood. Eyes big as saucers he braced for the logs impact... But there was nothing. Cracking an eye open he saw that the log seemed to have jammed against another log somehow. It was still loose and shifting from side to side, still floating on the mucky water that had been solid ground no long before, but it wasn't barreling at him anymore. Thunderpaw began to nimbly leap up the logs, breathing a sigh of relief as he moved past the loose cannon.

Through the rain, she couldn't possibly be able to know where her clanmates are, she could only guess. And when the log came out of sight, her heart skipped a beat. She didn't hear anything, no clashing or yowls, so she guessed they were alright but she couldn't tell over the sound of the storm overhead. When a shape came into sight and she realized that it was Thunderpaw nearby, leaping up the logs, she breathed a sigh of relief. "Are you both alright?" She called over the rain as loud as she could. She stood up slowly, mud dripping down her fur. But the rain quickly washed it off, but unfortunately, not her under layer which she would have to clean when they got back to camp and that would be a real pain. But her only worry at the current moment was getting back to camp. Everything that happened after would be decided then. After all, she hadn't much time to think. Flinching at a loud clash or lightning, she waded a few paces until the ground below her dropped and the mud-water was about as high as just a bit above her stomach. Alarmed, she slowly waded towards a log that hopefully and would be able to pull herself onto.

[Guys, try and wait up for me haha...I have no idea whats gone on here even after reading through?]
Aspenleaf leaped onto a soggy log and sat himself down, peering over the stormy terrain. He didn't know where the two apprentices were now, so he tried to make himself visible so they could see him, wherever they were. He called out, "Sedgepaw!? Thunderpaw!?" and listened closely for a response. He hoped they hadn't lost themselves in the wreckage, as they didn't need any more missing members, and it would be hard to find them in this condition.

Thunderpaw heard a muffled sound through the storm and tried to follow it. "Aspenleaf?" he called, leaping from log to log as best he could. He almost leaped past Sedgepaw without seeing her. "Sedgepaw are you alright, do you need help?" he asked, leaning down towards her.
(Nothing much is going on lol, just a storm sprang up in the Woodland Graveyard and the water's started rising and getting muddy. We've just been hopping about, mostly)

Sedgepaw barely heard Aspenleaf and stood there a moment, trying to make out what he were saying. When Thunderpaw's voice entered, she turned towards the direction both of their voices came from. "No!" She replied, finding herself rather close to where the ground rose again. "I'm perfectly fine!" Refusing the help of a clanmate she would do even if a hurricane struck the territory. Lifting her paw to feel the wet grass, she started pulling herself out of the deeper side of the mud. This is going to be a real pain to wash out. She thought, glancing at her mud and rain soaked pelt. Lifting her last leg from the mud, she headed where she heard Aspenleaf. "Aspenleaf!?" She called loudly, the thunder drowning out her voice.

Aspenleaf called out again, hearing the faint sounds of their voices. "Thunderpaw! Sedgepaw!" He searched the area with his eyes anxiously. He was glad to hear them at the very least; that meant they were at least mostly alright, which was better than nothing.

Thunderpaw leaped after Sedgepaw. "Hey, Sedgepaw, wait up!" he called. "We should stick together!" he screamed over the storm, his voice already beginning to crack. It would be gone come tomorrow, he was sure. "If we don't we'll keep going in circles trying to find each other!" Another call from Aspenleaf made him look up. The cry had sounded closer and clearer.

Sedgepaw was already feeling weak, and if the storm didn't make them all close to blind, she would normally nod. "Okay!" She called to Thunderpaw. Taking a deep breath when she heard Aspenleaf's voice, she called out loudly, her voice cracking a bit, "I'm here!" Desperate to get home soon, she paused, waiting for Thunderpaw to catch up. Her dirty paws were sinking in the muddy grass slowly and she could feel herself start to slide down the shallow slope so she dug her claws deep in the ground, not sure if they even planted, and stood as still as a rock, waiting for her littermate. Looking up at the sky, Sedgepaw hoped that the storm wouldn't get too much worse.
