She wished to tell him the truth, that it had been an accident, but she knew he wouldn't believe her.
She widened her eyes in surprise, startled, as the tabby tom repeated the words in a snarl and then leaped at her. But the she-cat suspected his intention and leaped nimbly to the side.
However, at the last second, her hind paws slipped on the sand and she fell into the water, schreeching in surprise. The current started to sweep her away. She struggled desperately, whimpering and churning her paws, trying to gain control. Suddenly the waves pulled her under.

Cloudyfoot passed SparrowWhisper by a mouse-length, and her whiskers brushed his pelt. He landed with a splash in the water, water flicking up around him, splattering his pelt. Gripping his claws into the sand, sinking into the ground. His hind legs floated to the surface, the tide trying to drag him away, but his abnormally long claws saved him. His adversary, unfortunately, was swept away, and, not being of RiverClan, had no idea how to swim. Cloudyfoot let out a hiss of frustration. First, the she-cat trespasses, and now needed saving.
"For StarClan's sake..." he muttered quietly. Bundling his launches under him, he wiggled his back, and launched himself into the waves, paddling to keep his head above the water. His amber eyes searched the tides until he could see the bobbing shape of SparrowWhisper. Swimming strongly.l over, he stuck his muzzle under the water. Salt flooded his senses, up his nose and filtered into his mouth. It was a disgusting taste, but he ignored it, plunging into the depths to retrieve the SkyClan cat. Getting a firm grip around her scruff, he pulled her above the water, and the waves threatened to overtake him, with the new burden he was carrying. Cloudyfoot pushed all of his might into getting back to shore, and when he did, he scrambled to drag the she-cat away from the ever-growing tide. When he did, he collapsed, hacking out water, his breathing rapid as he wheazed.
