Raintails Story

[Hawkstar]

This is his death. Prolouge
"Run away you coward!" shouted Raintail at the fleeing ThunderClan warrior."Next time, tell your leader to come and fight me himself!"he shouted. Raintail flicked his speckled tail, then turned around when he heard a familiar voice. "Your wish is granted!" said a cold voice behind him. "Bramblestar, how nice to see you." said Raintail to the dark brown tabby. "Have you come to face me, ShadowClans Deputy, and face your death. I know you are on your ninth life, and I will kill you. Now come and fight like a warrior, loser." Raintail taunted. Raintail lunged at Bramblestar, with force rippling through his muscles. He dove for Bramblestars neck, and decided it was time. "Time to meet your demise, oh powerful leader!" he taunted. He sunk his teeth into Bramblestars neck, the blood streaming out. But before Raintail could celebrate his victory, Bramblestar sunk his claws into Raintail's neck with his last dying might. Bramblestar fell to the ground, bleeding his life out, and Raintail fell just after. Maplestar ran towards Raintail, his brother. "My deputy, my brother, he is DEAD!" he screeched. Just as the moon reached the top of the sky, Bramblestars body fell still forever. A few moments later, Raintail rasped with his last dying breath"I just want you to know that I was the one who killed Dawnstar, who killed Roseheart, her kits, and her mate. I killed Silverleaf." Maplestar looked down at his dying deputy in astonishment. A moment later, Raintails body stilled, his soul departing. The last thing he saw was the body of his brother Maplestar standing over him, until he succumbed to a dizzying blackness. There was a screech of horror from Goldenfeather, Raintails mate and the mother of his kits, Hawkkit, Thistlekit, and Silverkit. ThunderClan had lost their leader, Bramblestar and a warrior named Berrynose. Maplestar looked at Lionblaze and spoke "There was no winner of this battle. Now leave and take your dead with you, and we shall do the same." The cats snarled at each other across their lines and Maplestar picked up Raintails body and carried him towards their camp. Raintail would never shed blood again on the lakeshore.

[glow=purple,2,300]Chapter One[/glow]Rainkit was pacing around the empty clearing, while the rest of the warriors were battling ThunderClan over a worthless clearing. Rainkit turned around when he heard paws pounding through the camp entrance. "Did you win?!" pestered Rainkit. Blackstar was carrying Rowanclaws body through the entrance."Does it look like it?!" he replied. "Rowanclaw was struck down by Lionblaze. First he kills Russetfur, then Rowanclaw, who is next?!" Littlecloud was hurrying out of his den with Sparrowpaw right behind him."Anybody who is hurt, come to us!"shouted Littlecloud. Rowanclaws body was layed in the center of the clearing, with Rainkit staring right at it."Is he... dead?" he asked. "Yes." replied his mother, Flamefeather, sadly. Maplekit, Rainkits brother came rushing out of the nursery."Whats all the hubba, bubbas!"he shouted. He seemed to be very popular with the clan, giving a few cats a little perk up. Rainkit twitched his tail. He didn't care. He looked down at Rowanclaws body to find tufts of fur between his claws. It was black fur. "Momma," asked Rainkit."is Lionblaze black?" "Why,no!" she replied."He is golden like a majestic lion." "Ooooh, mommas got the hots for Lionblaze!"screeched Maplekit. "She better not!" replied Icefire. "Hey dad."said Rainkit and Maplekit in harmony. Icefire smiled at them both. Icefire then turned his head and stared down at Rowanclaws dead body. "He was my mentor. Back when Firestar was still leader of ThunderClan." said Icefire. "Was Firestar an evil Thundercat too! Like Bramblestar!"asked Maplekit."Oh no, he was very peaceful and never declared war unless it was neccesary." Rainkit piped up "Sounds like a hippie to me!" "Yeah, a weirdo!" said Maplekit. Rainkit wondered what he would ever do without his dad. He wondered how bad Dawnpelt and Tigerheart must feel after first losing their brother and now their father, Rowanclaw. Rainkit would be sad too if his dad was dead and also his brother, Maplekit.As he walked back with Maplekit towards the nursery, he looked down at Rowanclaws body. Why would a Thundercat kill him?
***********************************************************************************
Rainkit opened his eyes to see Dawnpelt standing on the Highbranch giving orders. He shook Maplekit awake."Why is Dawnpelt giving orders?" he asked Maplekit, who looked back at him drowsily and went back to sleep. "Flamefeather, why is Dawnpelt giving orders?" he pestered. "She is the new deputy of ShadowClan, now that Rowanclaw is dead." "Okay, Ratscar, go with Icefire and Horseface to patrol the clearing. ThunderClan could still be restless after the battle." As the patrol walked away, Rainkit wished Icefire was the new deputy. "Momma, why isn't Icefire the new deputy?" he asked. "Probably Blackstar felt that someone in Rowanclaws family should take the role of deputyship." "Well, why not Tigerheart. He's a good leader." Rainkit retorted."Well, Dawnpelt is peaceful, yet strong. Now go back to sleep. Mommys tired." Flamefeather replied. Rainkit thought to himself as he drifted off to sleep that his father should be deputy of ShadowClan, to save him from the Thundercats. Anybody but Dawnpelt should be deputy.

[glow=green,2,300]Chapter Two[/glow]"From this day forward until you recieve your warrior name, you should be known as Rainpaw. Your mentor shall be me, Blackstar." shouted Blackstar. "Rainpaw,Maplepaw!" screeched the rest of the clan with joy. "We're apprenices! YAY!" screeched Maplepaw. Dawnpelt ran up to Maplepaw."Ready for some training? We are gonna explore the territory today." "Okay then, bye Maplepaw" Rainpaw yelled after him. Flamefeather walked up to Rainpaw and said"I'm so proud of you and your brother! Now I can go back to real warrior duties." Blackstar jumped off the Highbranch and padded over to Rainpaw."Want to come with me and patrol the clearing, Rainpaw?" he asked. "You bet I would want to come!" Rainpaw replied. "Well, if you want to patrol it, come on! We might even meet with Maplepaw and Dawnpelt on the way there!" Blackstar said. Rainpaw flicked his tail and walked out of the camp for the first time. He looked around at all the trees and stared with astonishment. "Those trees are so... big!" he proclaimed. Blackstar looked at Rainpaw and smiled. "When I was an apprentice, we lived in the forest, far far away, where our trees were much smaller than these." "Well, what happened to that forest?" Rainpaw asked. "It was destroyed by Twolegs many seasons ago, before even your dad was born. Then we journeyed here after our home was destroyed." Blackstar informed. Rainpaw was about to pester him some more, until he saw a wide open area with just undergrowth. "Is that the clearing?" he asked. "Why yes, it is. Now come on and go around the edge of our scent marks and see if ThunderClan has passed them." Before Rainpaw could sniff around, a loud crashing noise surprised him, and Maplepaw came flying out! "Got you, Rainpaw!" screeched Maplepaw. Maplepaw was lying on Rainpaw, with Dawnpelt and Blackstar watching them with amusement. Rainpaw was laughing with joy until he heard a cold voice that stopped all the cats dead in their tracks. "Hello, Blackstar." said the dark brown tabby tom across the border. "Nice to see you, Bramblestar." replied Blackstar. So that is Bramblestar, thought Rainpaw. No wonder Thundercats are so scary. Behind Bramblestar came a patrol of 2 other cats, one who was golden, and another who had extremely long legs. Now Rainpaw was scared. The one cat was Lionblaze, the Thundercat who killed Rowanclaw. The long legged one stepped across the border."What are ya gonna do about it, pip-squeak." The long limbed one taunted. "Be quiet, Spiderleg!"shouted Blackstar as he lunged at Spiderleg. The Thundercats trampled over the border and snapped at the ShadowClan cats. Rainpaw saw the one named Spiderleg. Spiderleg was fighting Maplepaw! "Get away from my brother!" shouted Rainpaw as he lunged at Spiderlegs back. With all his might, he tore at the Thundercats fur and ripped his stupid legs. Finally, he bit Spiderleg in the neck, sending him to the ground. "Spiderleg!" shouted Bramblestar as he rushed over to his clanmate. Spiderleg got up."I'm okay, just a poke in my neck." Bramblestar turned his head at Blackstar."The clearing still belongs to us, you hear!" he shouted. Bramblestar and his patrol ran off into the forest. Blackstar turned his head back to Rainpaw, his face expression hard."You almost killed that cat over there! That would be breaking the warrior code! Your'e lucky he didn't die because if he did, you would be in so much trouble. And in your first outing, too."he screeched. "I was just defending my brother, Maplepaw. Spiderleg was attacking him!" Rainpaw retorted. "Just don't do it again, ya hear! Now Dawnpelt, do you have any injuries from Lionblaze?" "Just a scratch on my sholder." she replied."Rainpaw, are you hurt?" asked Blackstar. "Nope!" replied Rainpaw swiftly. "Are you hurt, Maplepaw?" asked Dawnpelt."Not much, just a few scratches." he replied. Blackstar flicked his tail, signaling for them to leave. As they walked back to camp, Maplepaw ran up to Rainpaw."Thanks Rainpaw, for helping me fight Spiderleg." he said "You're welcome, now lets go back to camp and share a meal, okay brother?" Rainpaw replied. Rainpaw wondered why Blackstar was so mad when he attacked Spiderleg. I was just defending our territory, he thought. How bad can that be? Next time I will defend our territory just as vigorous, no matter what Blackstar says. I will help my brother in any situation. Rainpaw was convinced he was just defending his territory, but he still wondered why Blackstar had gotten so mad at him for just defending his territory. And who left the black fur in Rowanclaws claws? There were still a lot of questions to be answered,as Rainpaw walked back into the camp. I had a good outing for my first time and I fought well, and thats that, he thought. "Now Maplepaw," he turned to his brother"want to share that tasty mouse over there with me, or what?"

[glow=pink,2,300]Chapter Three[/glow]"RiverClan has gone far enough!" shouted Blackstar. The clan screeched with approval. Rainpaw was beaming. My first battle, he thought. "We shall attack TONIGHT!" shouted Blackstar again. Blackstar flicked his tail towards the camp entrance, and the rest of the warriors followed. Maplepaw looked nervous, but Rainpaw felt good. He had beaten Spiderleg, it would be easy to beat a bunch of fatties! "Come on, Maplepaw, don't look so nervous!" he said. Maplepaw just looked back at him with fear in his eyes."Well, I almost lost to that Thundercat over there until you saved me, so there is a reason to be worried." It had been 4 moons since the battle with Spiderleg and ThunderClan and Rainpaw was pumped. He couldn't wait until the battle started. Even though he wasn't a bloodthirsty cat, he liked the thrill of the fight. It was excilarating to feel the fur under his claws and the mews of mercy in his ears. He had been an apprentice for a while, so he thought he would get his warrior name after the battle, if he did good. That is a lot to think about, but he knew one thing.This battle, he would win.
****************************************************************************
"ShadowClan, ATTACK!" screeched Blackstar. The ShadowClan cats poured in on the RiverClan camp like a wave. Rainpaw ran over to a RiverClan apprentice and unsheathed his claws. The apprentice looked young, but he didn't care. He ripped at the cats fur, scratched at his muzzle, and clawed at the cats eyes. The apprentice looked up at him and said " Have mercy on me, cat." Rainpaw hesitated, but let him go. He didn't want to kill...yet. He looked down the edge of the clearing and saw a blue-gray she cat fighting Blackstar. That must be Mistystar. He then scanned the clearing for his dad, Icefire. Where is he, he thought. Then he saw his dad running away from the nursery, with a reddish she cat on his tail. While he was not looking, the she cat jumped on him, and jabbed her teeth at his neck. Rainpaw lunged at the cat and was about to sink his teeth into her neck, until Blackstar pushed him off. "Blackstar, kill her!" Icefires body was bleeding out, with the cat staring at Rainpaw and Blackstar. "You don't have to kill to win a battle, remember!" Blackstar said firmly. "But she killed Icefire." Rainpaw whined. Blackstar then turned around aand lunged at the cat himself, biting at her neck, only to be pushed off by Mistystar."GET OFF HER, you fiend! Trying to kill pregnant Roseheart, here." Mistystar shouted. Rainpaw glared at Rosehearts belly, pregnant with kits. He knew what he would have to do eventually.He stalked up to her and snarled "You think this is over, you fool! You will regret this day, Roseheart. You will!" Roseheart looked at him with fear in her eyes, but Mistystar pushed Rainpaw away.Mistystar screeched across the clearing."RiverClan has won, ShadowClan go home!" Maplepaw came rushing over to Rainpaw. "Are you hurt... Aah!" he was staring right at Icefires body. Maplepaw glared at Rainpaw."A pregnant queen named Roseheart killed him, but don't worry, she won't live another peaceful day again in her life." Maplepaw just stared at him with disbelief. Rainpaw turned his gaze back to Icefire. What will I do without you, dad, he wondered. He then looked back at Roseheart. You will never have joy again as long as I'm alive, he thought.

[Hawkstar]

[glow=red,2,300]Chapter Four[/glow]"I name you Raintail, in honor of your courge and strength." Blackstar shouted on the Highbranch. "Raintail, Mapleclaw!" yelled the clan. Raintail thought nothing could get better than this, but he wished for one thing. Raintail wished Icefire could be here with him, watching him at his ceremony. Blackstar had grown feeble after the battle, and was likely close to death. Raintail wasn't fond of Dawnpelt due to her peaceful ways, but Mapleclaw was fine with her, due t0 that she was once his mentor. Kinkfur had had her kits, Goldenkit, Silverkit, and Pinekit. They were adorable, well at least he thought so. Mapleclaw turned to Raintail."We're warriors now. YAY!" he yelled with excitement. Raintail tried to seem happy, but the thoughts of Roseheart haunted him. He knew he had to get back at her in some way, and he would devise a plan soon.He had to make her feel the pain. For now, though, he just felt like enjoying his time as a warrior. He could finally sleep in the warriors den tonight! Blackstar hopped off the Highbranch with help from Dawnpelt. Dawnpelt is not fit to be leader, thought Raintail. Raintail looked up at the sky. The moon was full. It was time for a Gathering. Maybe I can get some more information on Roseheart.
***************************************************************************
Raintail sat down in the island clearing, with Mapleclaw sitting next to him. The first leader to talk was Bramblestar, who just spoke about how ThunderClan was as good as ever. Thundercats, Raintail thought. Always bragging about themselves. Next came Mistystar. "RiverClan is doing well..." Yeah right, thought Raintail. After that battle they are doing real well. "And we have three new kits, Whitekit, Waterkit, and Leopardkit, who were born to Roseheart this past moon." The name Roseheart rang in Raintails ears. He thought of how he could get back at her, and then he had an idea. I lost a family member, he thought. Why can't Roseheart lose family members? Roseheart better guard those kits good, because if his plan worked out like he thought it would, those kits wouldn't make it past the next moon. Those kits are mine, and I shall let Roseheart know how I feel. My plan will make sure of that. Once my plan is over I will take it to the next level. I will kill to get my vengeance. I want my feelings known. It is her time to feel the pain that I felt when I lost my father, Icefire. I, Raintail, shall get revenge!

[Hawkstar]

Chapter Five
Raintail got up out of his nest in the warriors den and quickly trotted out of the camp entrance. Horseface looked at him."Where are you going?" he asked. "Just for a walk." replied Raintail. Raintail knew it was time to put his plan into action. His plan was to sneak into the RiverClan camp, steal the kits, kill them all, and come back to camp. That simple. The only hard part would be to get into the RiverClan camp. He would have to disguise his scent somehow. Now time for operation Killkits. After today he thought, Roseheart will live in sorrow for the rest of her life. As Raintail walked around the lakeshore, he saw some herbs. I should roll myself in that, he thought. He swiftly rolled himself in the herbs, ready to sprint to the camp. Feel no fear, only hatred. Show no mercy, as she did to your father, said a voice behind him. He turned around, thinking it was one of his clanmates looking for him, but it was a misty figure of a dark brown tabby tom, much like Bramblestar. "Who are you?" he asked to the misty cat, but the cat disappeared into the forest night. Strange, thought Raintail.
