"Willow?" Cody felt an overwhelming urge to save this she-wolf. Frantically, he rasped his tongue over her chest, and prodded her side.
[/quote]Willow's eyes opened, revealing two pools of amber. Instead of dancing and sparkling like they usually were, they seemed to be duller and not as full-of-life. Water gurgled in her throat, spilling out of her jaws.
( Officially can't proceed calling Willowsong that anymore. Rename: Willow. )
Willow tentatively stepped away from Cody as he dozed off, her amber eyes intent on the nearly frozen creek only paw-steps away. The moonlight blotted by an overhead tree, the white she-wolf let the glimmering ice guide her towards her destination. Taking a few more careful steps forward, she stepped to the ice. It was thin. Sticking out a paw, Willow broke the ice right in front of her. Sweeping away the shattered ice with her callused paw, the she-wolf prodded the ice further until it gave way to a fairly large hole, black water inside. Just as she was about to dip her muzzle in, her front paws slid forward. Unable to catch herself in time, Willow plunged into the icy water with a loud splash, but not before her forehead scraped against the ice.
Cody trotted out into the forest. A thin layer of snow blanketed the ground, but the ground could still be seen underneath it. The pine needles and branches were encased in covers of ice from the freezing rain last night. The sky was a brownish color from the clouds that promised more snow very soon. Cody grumbled about it under his breath, but stopped when he heard something. Something just fell in the river? He thought that it was probably just a log or something, a branch falling off a tree from all the weight of the ice. But something told him that he should check it out...
Willow's head was barely under the sheet of water, so she would have been able to get out of the freezing liquid if she wasn't in a state of unconsciousness.
( Owl. )
Cody's ears shot up in alarm. "Willow?!" he barked, his tone uncertain. Cody wasn't the bravest wolf in Stonepack, and part of him was afraid of going to save her, for fear of falling in himself. He almost considered bolting and getting help, but by then, Willow would have drowned. Quivering, he sprinted over to the river with tense limbs, and reached down, trying to grab her scruff.
Willow's body was unmoving and limp as a dishrag, and her breathing shallow.
