Caught beneath her attacker, Rain's mind spins while trying to figure out an escape plan. Calm down. She'd manage to stall him so far, but it wouldn't work forever; he already looked impatient. Losing herself again would be digging her own grave since she was incapable of strategy while shielded with fear and rage. A surprise attack could suffice... but then what? Run? Seemed like the only option left. The white and gray she-cat carefuuly gathers her hind legs close to her chest, and then kicks out as hard as she could. A cheap trick she had learned while sparring with Iko. Onyx is flung across the alley and crashes into a wall. Springing onto her paws, Rain takes the chance and dashes from there, letting her adrenaline carry her as far away as it could; not looking back.

The forest could hide her for a while, it was just a few blocks away. Rain speeds up, dodging trash cans and litter along the way. She reaches the demon path and skids to a halt. Looking both ways, Rain warily takes a few steps towards the horizon of trees. A loud blast of noise smashes into her left ear and she freezes in fear. Lie down! shrieks Redflame in her head. Her eyes were wide in terror when she tries to move but can't. Idiot! he snarls. She feels something shoving her down onto the asphalt, right in time before the shiny demon drives into her. It rolls away, leaving a trembling a she-cat in the middle of the road. Her fur was standing on end, her breathing was ragged, and her heart felt like it was about jump out from beneath her pelt.

Rain drags herself to the safety of the grass and collapses onto the green foliage, exhausted. Eyesight blurring, she swore she was hallucinating when she saw the foggy outline of a white she-cat with brilliant blue eyes when she looked in front of her, and to add to her doubt, the image was shimmering. But to her own luck, Rain's eyes shut before she could decide whether it was a mirage or reality.

She felt that she was being pulled across the grass, but was too tired to fight back. Slowly, her conscience slips and Rain finds herself facing Redflame, or whatever his name was. "Can't even dodge a simple car, no?" Rain furrows her kitty-brows in confusion. Car? The brown and red tom rolls his vibrant green eyes and sighs, "A demon."

"Oh..." breathes the white and silver cat. She blinks when she realizes something. "You saved me?"

Dropping to the ground, redflame throws his paws up to his face in a melodramatic display of despair. "Yeah, but since it's pointless to save someone who can't even remember who you are I just wasted my time." His tantrum stops and his eyes light up with a crazy glint, which kind of worries Rain. "But maybe... maybe if..." mutters Redflame. She looks at him blankly, tuning his annoying rambling out of her ears.

Rain sits down, glaring at her paws, why hadn't she escaped? Was it because she was weak? Everything about the whole situation bothered her. It bothered her that she had to rely on others. It bothered her that she had to be saved. But, most of all, it bothered her that it had to be him that saved her. A complete stranger as far as she knew, or could remember; who was still quietly talking to himself. Suddenly she finds herself falling down.

"I called your name five times! Quit dreaming and answer my question!" Redflame had pushed her down in an effort to gain her attention.

"Huh? What?" stammers the she-cat.

The brown and red cat sighs, "Do you know who your father is?"

Rain's ears prick up, surprised by the question. "Ehh dunno. Never met or thought about him..." Getting up, she shuffles her paws. What was the point of this? So sudden...

"Do you want to know?"

"How would finding out help me?" She dodges the question.

"I know you're curious now that I brought the subject up. Think about it. All you remember is joining the messed up Bloodclan. Ever thought about the chance of knowing your family?"

She pauses for a moment then nods, "Yeah. Guess so."

"Then we'll play a game. You find out who your father is and I'll spill everything about your past."

"Okay..." meows Rain reluctantly. Redflame seems to cheer up, tail swishing with excitement. She tilts her head and closes her eyes in concentration. "Is it... Iko?"

Redflame furrows his brows in scorn. "He's younger than you! Oh come on, at least take it seriously."

"Oh, yeah... he told me that once." murmurs the she-cat.

"Idiot." coughs Redflame, rolling his eyes. "I'll give you a hint, he's weird."

"That weird eyed black cat?" muses Rain. Redflame's tail lashes impatiently.

"He's also younger than you." he scoffs. "Why are you so stupid? I mean seriou- whoa you're fading away."

Rain's violet eyes widen in horror and then close, "Fading? How? Wait-.." She feels herself being shaken and opens her eyes. She was no longer in whatever that place was that she had been in with Redflame. Instead, Rain was staring at the face of a stranger.

"G'morning," purrs a she-cat, "you were meowing in your sleep so I waked you." Quickly jumping onto her paws, Rain looks around. She was in a cave with light pouring from a hole in the top and besides her there seemed to be an over energetic siamese with white paws. The cat sighs, "Ah, Cloud must be so proud... pity she's dead. Oh, well 'least I found you." Who's Cloud? wonder Rain. Wait. Who is that strange cat sitting in front of her?

"Who are you..."

The snowshoe swipes a white paw over her head in embarrassment, "Ah, didn't introduce myself... I'm Tiramisu." She looks at Rain as if examining her. "She never told me your name though."

Ignoring her curiosity at the thought of who Cloud was, Rain answers, "Uh... I'm Hail..." The white and gray she-cat's eyes unconsciously shift to the left as she lies. The one name she had never been fond of had become her alias once again, ah the irony. Tiramisu gives her a skeptic look but then nods her head in agreement.

"That makes sense, they all had weather based names." Rain's eyes cloud with confusion for a moment and stares she quizzically at the creamy cat before her. Smiling, Tiramisu paws at a dead mouse. "Eat this, I reckon you're hungry."

Bending down to eat, Rain scoffs down the rodent. "Thanks."

"Hmm hmm."

"RAIN!" yowls a cat, bounding towards the unsuspecting she-cat. Now it was Tiramisu's turn to be confused. Rain laid beneath a thick pile of white and orange fur, that sudden as if it were sobbing. "Iko... a dog... blood... Uwahhhhhhh!"

"Fire?" How had he found her?

"You know him?" asks the snowshoe, tail tip twitching.

Rain nods. "Friend of mine." Turning to the younger cat, she meows, "What happened?"

"I-I went hunting and then I was chased by a dog and-and then the blue freak came and saved me b-but he's not doing too well." Fire stares down at his paws, awaiting a reprimand that never comes. Rain sighs, that idiot partner of hers, usually she was the one making the mess with her double personality.

"Well, I gotta go." she mutter. "Thanks for everything Tiramisu, but you could me one last favor and keep an eye on this furball?"

Tiramisu nods and purrs, "Will do."

Rain dips her head and dashes off in search of Iko. If Fire had come from her right side that means that she should head the direction he came from. The forest was now a small oak tree away and loud howls were audible. Howls? Neglecting that fact, she sprints towards the source of the noise. The sharp scent of blood covered the bushes in front of the woods. "Iko?!" she yowls.

"Right here." calls a voice from above. In the trees? Rain looks up and notices a trail of blood dripping from a branch. "You're late, Rainy."

And that's it for an update :D thnx for reading.
