Raindrops Turn To Waterfalls

He was fully expecting to find himself trampled beneath her elegant long legs. So it was with some surprise that he watched her move suddenly to the side. The momentum caught up with her as she tumbled suddenly through the earth - earth that was quickly turning to mud - beside him. What had begun as a single raindrop had become an intense and sudden rainfall. He was already soaked through, and it had only been a few moments since it had begun.

He finally pulled himself to his paws and rushed over to her. Intending to help her to her paws when the ground groaned beneath them. The water was rising, falling too quickly for the soak into the ground. He realised it a beat after she did, and he turned frightened eyes to her. “This way!” he yelled, intimately familiar with the territory his family had spent so much time on. “This way is better!” he yelled, wondering if she would trust him as he led the way up the hill. The path he picked was less likely to trip them. If they caught their paws now, he knew they would find themselves underwater in moments.

Racing his way up the hill, the deer that had found it first watched them with wild eyes, and a thought entered his mind. He owed the girl a deer, after all.
