"How did you manage that?"
Creekstar skidded to a stop as he reached the spot on the sandy landscape in which a red molly lay, her head seemingly buried into the ground. The blue ticked tabby tom had taken his former apprentice - and now deputy - on an expedition of sorts, hoping to find some turtle eggs to snack on. There had been signs of turtles, but few were ever spotted. Perhaps it was because the clans were new to the territory, but it still left Creekstar and Mushroombug hopeful. A new land meant new adventures to go on! And more trouble to get into, of course!
The tom leaned down to sniff his former apprentice. When she didn't immediately pop her head out from the ground, the tom just sighed and shook his head. "Ya know, Mushroom, I don't think 'getting your head stuck in a hole' was part of your training." With a chuckle, he nudged her with a paw, "Didja at least find something good down there?" The jesting tom was sure to hear a snide remark about this later, but he was going to enjoy the moment while he could. With a goofy grin, he circled around his clanmate, awaiting her reply. |

“Fox dung!” The red deputy hissed in frustration, tugging and pulling in a sad attempt to free her head from the hole. “How isn’t important- what’s important is getting out!” She meowed, her voice muffled by the earth between them. At first the whole thing was quite funny (it still sorta was) but it was getting old fast! There was tons of fun stuff she could be doing right now if she wasn’t stuck in a hole! And those eggs... the precious bundle that started this whole mess. They were RIGHT THERE. They were so close she could probably lick them. To test her thought, she stretched forward and licked the closest one. The lightest touch! And it only frustrated her further. What a tease. “Grrrrr!” Mushroombug pressed her paws into the sand, flexing her claws. “They’re right there! This isn’t faaaiiir!” With a thump she flopped to the ground. “Yeah yeah.” The molly snorted, slightly amused. “There’s some yummy looking eggs down here. Right in front of my nose.” Her meow dripped with annoyance directed toward their seemingly forbidden snack. Here she was: Deputy of Coveclan! Stuck in a hole. Just wait till Boltclaw heard about this! Her pelt burnt at the thought. “Get me ouuuuuut!”word count: 213 |

With a grin plastered onto his face, Creekstep paused in front of Mushroom, patting his paw against the ground above her head. "Well, hey, at least if you're stuck for good, you have something to eat, right?" he gave a soft laugh before placing both paws upon the ground, giving a few pushes to test the soil. It was solid, which was surprising, considering the area around the scene of this crime was sandy. The momma turtle had chosen her nesting ground well. "Hm... Looks like the ground ain't gonna budge.... Perhaps if I jump on it?" Creekstar bounded upwards, bringing his paws down onto the target below - much like a fox would its prey. When he landed with a thud, but the earth didn't move, the CoveClan leader paused, unsure of what to make of the results. "Well! That didn't work!" he announced the obvious, watching his deputy for signs of further irritation. "Looks like you're grounded, Mushroombug!"
He leapt to the molly's side, trying to wedge his paw in beside her shoulder. But the hole was a perfect fit, and there was no sliding her head out. With a twitch of his whiskers, he began to realize the reality of it all. "You really are stuck in there, huh?" he thought aloud, sitting next to her and staring at the situation. How in StarClan was he supposed to free her? He could try to dig...
The tom used his front paws to brush away any sand before revealing a compacted wall of dirt that made up the hole's entrance. Creekstar unsheathed his claws. "Time to do this the old fashioned way.." He softly muttered to himself, beginning to scrape away at some of the dirt. Barely any of it moved, however, but at least it was something. After a few heartbeats of digging, one of the blue tabby tom's claw's tips snapped off, sending a shock of pain through his paw and forearm. He yowled, stepping back and looking to his claw. Thankfully, it wasn't bleeding. But it was obvious that trying to move the earth with only his claws wasn't going to get him anywhere.
"Mushroom? Did that do anything?" He mewed after a while, sheathing his claws, "Are you able to escape?" |

"Wait, don-!" Mushroombug flinched, screwing her eyes shut as the leader jumped above her head. She paused for a moment before releasing a sigh. Phew! Maybe freedom at the price of a bunch of paws to the face wasn't the greatest option here. "Ehehehe!" The deputy giggled. "Okay, that one wasn't so bad." There was nothing like a good old Creekstar joke to lift her spirits. But this was no laughing matter! Not at this exact moment anyway. "We can joke about this once I'm out!"
She pressed herself against the wall to make room for his blue paw, but alas, Starclan seemed to have something else in mind. Eternal damnation. "Yeah..." The red molly visibly deflated, though her pout remained unseen inside her new home.
How pathetic was this? She was supposed to be the fiercest, most feared she cat in all the lands! There's no way she can give up now! With a flick of her tail she blinked, taking a moment to observe her options. Okay, she could try to dig, but that would be awkward considering her position. Maybe try wiggling again? Or perhaps they could put something slick around her shoulders to slip her out? Opening her maw to make the suggestion, she froze when he yelped. "Are you okay?" Her muffled meow rang out worriedly and she wiggled. "Oh," She blinked, "Let's see!" Mushroombug took a breath and dug her hind claws into the sand, pulling and twisting in yet another attempt to free herself from the earth trap they called 'hole'. This attempt was also futile, but maybe she had a bit more room than before.
"No, I'm still stuck. But it's okay!" She mewed cheerfully, flicking an ear, "I have a few ideas. Is there anything that can help me slip out? Slimey or just- anything?"
