Chapter 3"Wake up, Rainpaw."
Rainpaw rolled over and stared blankly at Mosspool. "Leave me alone," Rainpaw muttered, finally turning away from the warrior's mutilated face.
"Rainpaw," Mosspool mewed quietly, "Lakestar said that she would organize a battle patrol to get Crowkit, Swankit, and Heronkit back from that retched ShadowClan."
"My first battle!" Rainpaw meowed, leaping up excitedly. "Wait, don't you guys hate me?"
"No, we don't, we're going to see how do you do in this battle and then if you can't handle it, you can be a medicine cat."
"But medicine cats can't have kits, or a mate. What type of life is that?"
"Maybe you can persuade Lakestar and the other leaders?" Mosspool suggested.
"Alright, I'm coming," Rainpaw mewed after Mosspool as she padded away.
…
When she got to the camp, everyone pretended like nothing had ever happened. They all acted like Rainpaw was a normal warrior. And then came the battle. "The cats going on this patrol will be Rainpaw, Tigerpaw, Featherpaw, Rockyshark, Sandsplotch, Bubbleheart, Coraljump, Skyhawk, and Cliffspray," Lakestar announced.
The chosen cats got into a group and started discussing plans. "Skyhawk, Cliffspray, Tigerpaw, and Bubbleheart can invade the camp and attack the warriors when they're sleeping. Then Rockyshark can hold off Nightstar. Coraljump, you're the most agile and fast, so you can quickly get in and out of the nursery without getting caught. Sandsplotch, you can go with Coraljump to reassure the kits, because you're their mother. Featherpaw, Rainpaw, and I can stay on the tree line and transfer the kits to camp." Lakestar leaned back, proud of her plan.
"Sounds good," the other cats agreed, and they were off.
…
"So, Rainpaw, thought about being a medicine cat yet?" Featherpaw asked her sister.
Rainpaw gritted her teeth and mewed, "I'll think about it." Why don't these cats mind their own business? Then she realized she might just be overreacting.
Suddenly Rainpaw crashed into Skyhawk who had stopped. "What was that fo-" Rainpaw started, but was cut off by a quick glare from Rockyshark.
"There's a warrior sitting vigil, and I think Featherpaw should take this one," Lakestar whispered to her warriors. Featherpaw's eyes brightened and her tail stuck way up in the air.
"I'll try my best," she said, her voice betraying her excitement. And with that, she snuck under a bush and waited. The warrior standing vigil was a white she-cat, very odd in ShadowClan. She stood as still as a statue, not even blinking an eye. That's one tough warrior! Then a silver blur leapt out of the bush and started to pummel the warrior's soft stomach. One of Featherpaw's paws was over the cat's mouth, to prevent any warning to ShadowClan. Meanwhile, the other cats followed the plan, minus Featherpaw at the tree line. Coraljump leaped to the roof of the nursery cave. Sandsplotch, obviously anxious to get back to her kits, ran inside without thinking. As she attacked the queens, Cliffspray, Bubbleheart, Skyhawk, and Tigerpaw stalked into the warriors' den. A mini battle was produced, thankfully not too loud. Rockyshark crept into the leader's den and knocked him out, easily. And all this time, Rainpaw was thinking, Will I ever be this good?
"Rainpaw, focus!" Lakestar mewed. "Sandsplotch and Coraljump are coming in with the first two kits…" Lakestar trailed off as she realized there were no bundles in their jaws.
"We couldn't find them in the nursery!" Coraljump meowed.
"How about the apprentices' den," Rainpaw muttered. The two cats were soon sprinting away. Rainpaw was watching them when the scent of blood reached her nose. She whipped her head around. The white she-cat had wriggled out of Featherpaw's hold and the two were now battling it out on the ground.
"Rainpaw, go help Featherpaw," Lakestar mewed. Following orders, but still wincing every paw-step, Rainpaw leaped on top of the warrior claws sheathed. The warrior easily pinned her down.
Laughing, she muttered, "This isn't training kid. Unsheathe those claws and give me something to work with!"
Shaking Rainpaw kicked the warrior and punched her in the face. She fell to the ground and was soon overpowered by Featherpaw. Rainpaw then ran over to Lakestar, trying to shake her worries away. How could she care so much about another clan? This was unnatural. Coraljump roughly shoved a fluffy black apprentice towards her. "I don't want to go home, I like it here," she was saying, planting all four paws in the bloodstained ground. Rainpaw grabbed the apprentice's tail between her jaws and started dragging her towards camp. Sandsplotch soon followed and replaced Rainpaw, soothing her kit.
As Rainpaw ran the distance back to the battle, silver flashes started to appear on the edge of her vision. Then a ghostly silver-gray tom swerved in front of her. "Hey there, Tiny" He mewed, mockingly. "I heard you weren't a fighter; didn't use your claws properly, huh?" He stopped to give Rainpaw a cool stare. Then he started circling her.
"Or, more like you didn't use them at all. Maybe you don't know how to unsheathe them or something. Maybe you're just way too loving. Well I can help you with that, sweetheart," he said. Stop pissing me off Rainpaw thought. And then his words registered.
"You can help me? Actually help me?" she asked, eyes wide.
The tom stopped for a bit, confused. Then he smiled and laughed. "Oh, of course," he said. He then flashed Rainpaw a devious smirk. "All you need is a little battle training."
And then he leaped on top of Rainpaw, pummeling her stomach and clawing at her, biting and scratching. She tried flinging him off of her, but only managed to catch his eye with her paw. Then, catching him off guard, she leaped up and raced away, back to her own camp. "Coward!" he yelled after her. Tears flowed from Rainpaw's ice blue eyes. She already knew she was a coward, and now she was a wimp. What would she tell her family? She almost laughed thinking about it. Hey mom, today I fought off cats with unsheathed claws and then I ran away. Aren't you proud of me? Then she realized, What will I tell Lakestar? What if she banishes me? Rainpaw was in for a lot of trouble and she knew it.
