The night had gone pretty quickly for Runningfire. That was mainly because she had alot of things to occupie(spelling) her mind. Her heritage. Flamepaw. Rainshadow. Frostlife. Shadowclaw. She had decided to tell both Flamepaw and Rainshadow about her parents after she took her nap.
When she blinked her eyes open after sleeping for awhile, Runningfire padded out of the warriors den searching for Flamepaw and Rainshadow. She found Rainshadow eating some freshkill she padded over to him quickly. "Hey, Rainshadow."
Rainshadow looked up at the sound of his name. "Oh hey, Runningfire," he grinned.
"Hey can I talk to you about something,"she asked
"Of course you can, I'm your best friend after all," meowed Rainshadow.
"Okay, meet me out in the forest its important. I'll be right there," said Runningfire. Rainshadow nodded clearly worried about Runningfire. Runningfire sped around and set out in search of Flamepaw.
She quickly found him inside the medicine cat den sorting herbs. He lifted his head up when he heard her enter. "Hi, Runningfire. What can i do for you?"
"I need to talk to you about something as friends."
Flamepaw quickly finished sorting the herbs and gave Runningfire his full attention. "Okay, shoot."
"Actually, its important. Can we talk about it in the forest?" Flamepaw nodded and followed her out of the den. She ran into the forest with Flamepaw on her heels. She scented the air and found Rainshadow's scent quickly. She set out to his direction and soon they found him in the forest waiting.
"What's Flamepaw doing here," asked Rainshadow as he saw them.
Runningfire padded over to him and sat down and Flamepaw did the same. "Well I have something to tell both of you." The two toms nodded and told Runningfire to start talking.
"Well I noticed that my parents never really acknowledge my excistance, and I found it really weird compaired to the other families in this clan, so I decided to ask Miststar about it. He told me that they aren't actually my parents. My real mother was Swiftheart. She belong to this clan and is currently in Starclan right now. Swiftheart had given me her speed hense my name runningfire. She had fallen in love with a Cloudclan warrior named Shadowclaw."
Rainshadow gasped. "I know him. I've seen him and spoken to him at gatherings."
Flamepaw gave him a look then looked at him. "You may continue."
"Anyway, they fell inlove and Swiftheart was quickly pregnant with kits. Meanwhile, Tigerstripe a fellow Moonclan warrior had found out and he himself was in love with Swiftheart also. He was devistated and hurt. Mostly jealous and angry. Swiftheart told Shadowclan that she was pregnat and he was overjoyed yet scared. He was there when Swiftheart gave birth to me and my siblings. Swiftheart had died during birth and Shadowclaw was crushed. Tigerstripe saw the whole thing and was so angered and sad that he killed my siblings. He then chased off Shadowclaw and he decided to spare me because he wanted Swiftheart's legacy to live on. He came back to our clan and told Miststar everything. Tigerstripe was banished and Cloudclan and Moonclan both agreed to keep quiet about the whole thing. Shadowclaw still thinks i'm dead."
Rainshadow and Flamepaw just blinked at her, not saying anything, just taking in the information. Runningfire must admit it was alot to take in at one time. flamepaw lifted his tail and put it on Runningfire's shoulder comforting. "This must be very hard for you."
Runningfire nodded. "It is. I need to tell someone so I decided to tell you both because you two are my best friends." Runningfire smiled. "Miststar told me that when I became a warrior I could go to Cloudclan to talk to Shadowclaw. to tell him who i am. He also told me that I had to take someone with me."
Rainshadow nodded. "That makes sense. Who are you going to take?'
Runningfire looked at both at them. "I thought about it for awhile and I decided to take you Rainshadow, beacuse you are a warrior and can fight off some cats better than Flamepaw no offense. Plus the clan needs you, because Nightstripe is getting old and you'll probably be his only apprentice and we can afford to lose you. i hope you guys understand what i'm saying."
Rainshadow and Flamepaw nodded. "We both understand," they said in unison.
"I'm glad you decided to tell us," said Flamepaw.
"I am too," meowed Runningfire, "lets get back to camp. Then i'll talk to Miststar about it."
Runningfire, Rainshadow, and Flamepaw made it back to camp quickly and no one asked where they had gone, which made Runningfire relax. Flamepaw made his way back into the medicine cat den. Runningfire looked at Rainshadow and he nodded. Runningfire padded into Miststar's den.
"Runningfire I can only guess why you're here," meowed the Moonclan leader.
Runningfire dipped her head in respect."Yes. I want to go see my father."
Miststar nodded. "ah. yes. i have wondered when you'll come by and ask. Have you decided who you are going to take with you," asked Miststar.
Runningfire nodded. "Yes I have. I have decided to bring Rainshadow with me. He and Flamepaw know by the way."
"Oh. They are your friends then. Rainshadow. Good choice. Plus you can trust him more than the other warriors."
"When can we go," asked Runningfire anxiously.
Miststar smiled. "Tomorrow."
Runningfire grinned excited. "Thank you Miststar." She dipped her head and exited the den. She made her way over to Rainshadow who was sitting close to the entrance of the Warriors den.
Rainshadow looked up and grinned. "When are we leaving," he asked.
"Tomorrow."
