Crystalshadow lay with her tail curled about herself, staring into the water. It rushed past her, speeding down the mountain, escaping the world she was locked into. But she was trying not to think about that--the war, her lies, and Willownight. She'd decided she was going to approach her life from a different angle; she would let it carry her, as if she were a fish in the river being swept downstream. She wouldn't worry so much about where she was going.
The cold seeped into her pelt, but though she was cold, she didn't budge. She enjoyed the feeling of being alone, simply enjoying the world around her. There was a quiet stillness in the air, though it wasn't because it was silent. She could here the gurgling of the creek, the sweet chirping of birds in the distance. It was beautiful. Her memories of traveling to the mountain as a kit were few, but she knew that she'd never been to a place so beautiful.
SkyClan had come to the mountain because it was prophesied that they would find a new home there. And they had. They'd found a home free of Twolegs--she'd never seen them before, but she'd heard of the terror they wrought. Yet there were other dangers. The threat of avalanches. Of sharp-toothed animals that prowled unseen through the snow. Of being killed by another cat.
She stopped. The war. It invaded her mind, working its way into all of her thoughts. Her eyes closed. For now, she could be in denial. She could pretend there was no war. It made her feel better. She was just another fish in the stream. Just another fish.
