RainFall’s Story

Instructions

Rainfall narrowed her blue eyes in contentment as she watched her kits, Toadkit and Wolfkit, play with a ball of moss that they stole from the RiverClan medicine storage. She pressed her nose into the warm, red body of her mate, Robinstep, who was lying beside her. Robinstep mewed frustratedly and pawed her in annoyance but he was already awake. He got up slowly, wincing as he sat on his tail. ‘ ‘ you know, I’m starting to think Aspenbranch named you after your annoyingness - like a wet shower that goes on and on and on - rather than your eyes. ‘ ‘ he said, before wrapping his tail around her grey and black pelt. ‘ ‘ well, I bet Mellowbreeze… I bet Mellowbreeze - wait, I can’t think of a good comeback to that. Gimme a second. ‘ ‘ she said, tapping her chin with her tail in mock confusion. But before she could think of one, the familiar mew of her leader, ReedStar, came from behind her. ‘ ‘ Rainfall, could you set some patrols? ‘ ‘ Rainfall nodded before gathering her Clanmates around her. She sent out a dawn patrol, a herb patrol and set out on a hunting patrol. She darted through the damp undergrowth she knew so well, pausing to taste the air. She spotted movement and started chasing after a bird. It was a long chase, and she finally caught up with it on a towering hill. ‘ ‘ got ya!! ‘ ‘ she said, before killing it with a single blow. She was about to pick up her kill when she smelled an unfamiliar scent. Rainfall froze as she recognised the scent. WindClan scent! How dare they trespass on RiverClan territory! She turned around, unsheathing her claws when she realised.. this wasn’t RiverClan territory.. she must have chased the bird onto WindClan territory! She heard the distant sounds of a patrol and ran as fast as she could, but she didn’t look where she was going and when she finally stopped, she skidded just off the edge of the gorge. She joined her warrior ancestors in StarClan that day, and the rest of her Clan had no idea where she was, until at the next gathering when the WindClan leader, LionStar, announced finding her body at the river beside the gorge. All four Clans mourned her, as she was not only popular in her own Clan, but made many friends at Gatherings. Her two kits grew up to be fine cats, Toadkit following the path of his mother and becoming ToadWind, the deputy, and eventually Toadstar, leader, and Wolfkit chose another path and became WolfPounce, the finest medicine cat RiverClan had seen in years.
