Tigertooth could feel consciousness leaving him. His head broke the surface right before it left him. He gasped and couldn't keep himself up, he slipped slowly back under.

Orcafur struggled to get to shore with Tigertooth's scruff in her jaws, but Tigertooth was way too heavy for her and she could feel herself slowing down. They were never going to make it!
"Orcafur! Hold on!"
Orcafur almost dropped Tigertooth when she saw the same tom that had sonfronted her before swimming strongly toward them. She opened her mouth to tell him to get lost, but she realized she had let Tigertooth go and dived to get him.
The strange tom was faster though. He grabbed Tigertooth's scruff. "Come on." he mumbled through tigertooth's fur.
Orcafur flattened her ears, "What are you doing here?" She hissed.
The tom rolled his eyes, "Helping you ou' you ne'er would 'ab made it alone. ju' come on." He swam strongly toward the shore.
Orcafur could do nothing but follow. By the time she reached shore she was exhausted.
The tom dragged Tigertooth up onto shore.

Orcafur sat up, "I'd like to know that too."
The tom shrugged, "It doesn't really matter, because I'll be gone soon."

Tigertooth tried to say, "you'd better be," but he couldn't utter a sound.

Orcafur nudged Tigertooth gently, "Tigertooth, are you ok?"

Tigertooth nodded, still too weak to move in any other way.

Orcafur sighed, she looked at the tom, "I think you should go."
The tom nodded, "I hope I see you again, Orcafur." He turned and slipped back into the water.

Orcafur shook her head, "Don't worry about it. Can you get back to camp?"
