A Night of Storms

by Stormfeather of IceClan

Storm and Night were just ordinary loners until they found RainClan. Just when Storm's life seems great, things take a sinister twist. A Clan of rogues known as DarkClan is looming over the Clans and the mysterious leader of the deadly cats is unknown. But when death begins raging through the Clans by a murderer the only cat to blame is Storm. "Let's sit and watch the Rain fall."

Chapter 1: The Wall

Storm crouched down and stalked one of the baby sparrows that were lazily fluttering in the small Twoleg garden. Just a little closer, come on birds just stay still for ten more seconds . . .

The dark gray she-cat pounced forward and grasped the sparrow in her paws and with a quick snap of the head she killed the bird and proudly stood with her catch.

"Great catch!" a small brown tom who went by the name of Scruffy padded across the Twoleg yard.

"Thanks," Storm purred. Though Scruffy was only five moons old, he was good company and a true friend.

"Storm! Scruffy! I've been looking for you all morning," Storm's sister, Night called from a distant alley before pounding over to the two.

"I've been avoiding Ripclaw; he's in a nasty mood this morning," Scruffy murmured, cringing as he mentioned the name of the bad-tempered bully.

"Whatever, let's just get out of this yard. I hate being close to Twolegs," Storm mewed, carrying her sparrow away into an alley nearby.

Scruffy and Night followed and the trio rounded the corner, bumping right into Ripclaw.

"Watch where you're walking!" the tom spat.

Normally on a good day Storm would have shot back an angry retort but today the black tom was seething with unknown anger.

Ripclaw narrowed his eyes and peered closer at the three, "I see you've caught a sparrow. Tell you what, give me the bird and I'll let you go and forget all about this incident."

"Are you joking? It took me all morning to find something, over my dead bones would I give it to you," Storm hissed, her gray fur fluffing up in immediate defense.

"Uh, Storm, that's okay we'll go hunt somewhere else," Scruffy whimpered, cowering behind his friend.

"No way!" Night growled, padding forward to stand beside her sister.

Ripclaw crouched down, prepared to pounce with his claws unsheathed.

"Run!" Scruffy yowled, darting off down the alley.

However, Storm and Night watched in fear as Ripclaw towered over them. The two sisters bounded down the opposite way Scruffy went, running back towards the Twoleg garden.

"It's a dead end unless we cross the yard!" Night puffed.

"Over the wall of the Twoleg Place," Storm panted.

Night hesitated, "Are you sure? We've always lived here . . ."

"We have no choice," Storm meowed as Night overtook her and bunched her muscles, landing on top of the wall with grace.

Being a little shorter than her sister, Storm bunched her muscles and flew through the air, crashing against the top of the wall. Her claws scraped against the stone and her back legs flailed as she tried to grip the smooth wall.

Night reached down and helped pull her sister on top of the wall. Once both were safely on they looked down at Ripclaw.

"You're fools if you plan to enter that forest. Wild cats live there, ones that will leave your dead carcass out to the crows!" Ripclaw snarled, and then he took a threatening leap towards the top of the wall.

Storm yelped and dropped the sparrow down to Ripclaw by accident.

"No time to get it, let's go!" Night leaped onto the other side of the wall, followed closely by Storm.

Storm landed on the dirt with a soft thud, "Where are we?" she whispered; her blue eyes were two wide orbs.

"You're in RainClan territory." A muscular white tom emerged from the shadows with a small brown she-cat at his side.

"Who are you?" Night hissed nervously, "We don't want any trouble, but we will fight if we have to."

The she-cat tensed but the tom remained calm, "I smell your fear; we came in peace and I expect the same from you."

Storm looked at the tom closely and saw that he wasn't even looking at them- instead, his white eyes were fixed on wall above them, but his voice contained authority that Storm couldn't help but be impressed by. Turning to glance at her sister they both nodded and sheathed their claws.

The tom sat and wrapped his tail around his paws, "That's better, now maybe we can talk about why you're here."
