"You have kits?" yelled Dovepaw. "And you left them?"
"No." Rainhead snarled. "I did not leave them. I would never leave them." a tear shown in his eye.(yes he can't produce it shuddap)
"Really!" Rainfur exclaimed in a whisper. "That's great!...but are you sure?" he added feeling sypathetic.
"I don't know, she said there was a chance she was wrong," Firesong said looking back at the dirt. "I'm just worried." She let out another sigh.
"Hey" he said, looking Firesong in the eyes. "True or not, I'm here for you."
"Thanks," Firesong whispered softly and pressed up against him.
Rainfur felt a purr rumble in his throat. He pressed himslef against Firesong.
Leafpaw burst into the camp, screeching. "Shadowpaw! Dawnpelt! Big Water!" she exclaimed.
And the mood is ruined yet again... Rainfur thought looking up.
"What's she talking about?" Firesong muttered and stood up and walked over to her sister. "What ya talkin' about lil' sis? Slow down your speech..."
Leafpaw took a deep breath and said "Shadowpaw and Dawnpelt got washed toward Sun-Drown place!
"You live near the Sun-Drown place?" Lionblaze interrupted.
"...yes." Rainhead said impatiently. "We live in a forest near the Sun-Drown place. Now for the love of Starclan let me tell my own story!"
Rainfur gasped. "I'm coming!" he exclaimed. He dashed out through the thorn tunnel, streaked across the territory and stopped at the river. He followed it for a while, going as fast as he could, but it would take a wile for him to reach Sun-Drown place.
Rainfur looked over. Tigerpaw, Eagleheart, Tearstar, and Blazepaw had followed him. "Good. You're here," he said to them. "Have any ideas on how to get there?"
"We could use that thing!" Tigerpaw exclaimed, pointing to a twoleg wooden boat. It was a very small fishing boat with a wooden steering wheel, but they didn't know that.
Rainfur looked around uneasily. "I dunno..." he said. "We don't even know how to use those things."
"I say we try." Eagleheart announced.
"Ok.." said Rainfur and he stalked over and climbed in.
Tigerpaw paused. "How do you steer these things?" he asked.
"Ummm I dont know. Just hang on tight." said eagleheart.
Tearstar looked at the cats from the outside of the boat. "Please find them." Then she took off the rope that was tied to the bank and the boat went off.
Rainfur padded around the boat. "Hey," he said. "What's this thing for?" He asked looking at the steering wheel.
Tigerpaw looked over at a twoleg waving it's front legs and shouting. "Huh?" he asked walking over to Rainfur. He nudged the wheel and it turned left. The boat swerved suddenly.
"Hey, do that again." said Eagleheart.
Rainfur pushed it again. The boat moved again. He pushed it the other way. It moved that way too. "I found the control!" he said.
"Alright lets go." said Eagleheart cheerfully.
Rainfur steered off and a while later they were in Sun-Drown place.
The boat was lost at sea for about a day before an island came in sight.
Rainfur jumped out of the boat onto a small sandy shore. "This place is a lot bigger than I would think." he said. "Hey, I can smell them!"
"I'll follow you." said Eagleheart as he jumped out.
Rainfur felt pride in being the leader and followed the trail scent, the other cats following behind. He kept on following the trail on the island toward Shadowpaw and Dawnpelt until Snakepaw jumped out of the bushes in front of him. He didn't know she was there too.
"Finally!" The she-cat hissed. "I'll go get Shadowpaw and Dawnpelt" The brown she-cat dashed off. "Shadowpaw! Dawnpelt! Patrol's here!" Rainfur heard her call. She came back and snorted and stalked past them, ignoring everyone compelty.
"You should follow her," Blazepaw stated simply turning to Tigerpaw.
Tigerpaw ran off after her, as Rainpaw waited for Shadowpaw and Dawnpelt.
As they came back, Rainfur nodded and rounded everyone back onto the boat and headed back home.
It took a while, but a day later they got to the dock. "Come on!" he yowled. "Hurry!" he thought of Firesong and her kits she would be having in a few moons.
Rainfur jumped out of the boat and raced toward the camp, making sure everyone was on his heels.
Tigerpaw stayed back. He had seen Snakepaw go off into the territrory. He decided to follow her.
Snakepaw froze and whipped around and snarled at Tigerpaw. "What do you want?" she hissed.
Tigerpaw stopped, startled. "I want to go with you!" he blurted out. IDIOT! he mentally slapped himself. I need to keep my thoughts in my own head.
Snakepaw stared at him. then shurgged. "Alright it's not my problem. I'm headed to Waterclan." She turned and streaked along the lake's edge.
Tigerpaw just mumbled to himself and dashed after her.
Snakepaw reached the border and stopped sniffing along it's edge. "Hmm..." she muttered thoughtfully.
Tigerpaw padded up to her. "What do you smell?" he asked.
"Wolf," She looked up. "They might not be so kind to intruders right now." The black and brown she-cat stepped over the border.
Tigerpaw followed, but checked to make sure the scent was stale.
Snakepaw walked right into the camp and cleared her throat. She showed no threat, looking like a cat returning from a hunting patrol. Her fur was flat and her eyes calm.
Tigerpaw popped up and sat beside Snakepaw.
The deputy shot up, startled and dashed over to them. "What do you want?" he asked suspicously.
"I wish to join Waterclan," the former Fireclan apprentice said unruffled. She motioned to Tigerpaw. "This is Tigerpaw I'm Snakepaw."
Tigerpaw nodded and tried hard to hide his uneasiness. He really didn't have reason to leave Fireclan. But if Snakepaw was, then he was too.
"Why do you wish to join?" asked the deputy curious. "I'm Fishpelt, by the way. And that's Swiftstar." He pointed to the leader walking towards them.
Snakepaw saw Swiftstar, "You're the leader?"
"Yes?" meowed Swiftstar.
"I want to join Riverclan," she stated again.
"Well...yes. You may join." Swiftstar said a little bit shocked. "We need cats."
Snakepaw bow her head. "Thank you," she mumbled and went to the center of camp and sat down.
Tigerpaw followed her still wanting to know what was bugging her so much as to leave her clan.
When Rainfur made it back to camp, Firesong came bursting out of the medicine cat den and gleefully said, "You're back!"
Rainfur ran up to her and pressed his muzzle against hers. "Are you doing ok?" he asked.
"I'm fine," Firesong purred rubbing her cheek against his.
Rainfur stepped back and looked at her. "That's good!" he said enthusiastically.
She smiled then looked around. "Where's snakepaw?" Firesong asked.
Rainfur looked around. "I dont know..." he said. "She was behind me a minute ago. So was Tigerpaw." he glanced around again and added, "He's gone, too!"
Firesong sighed. "They probably just went walking. We should find them anyways," she muttered walked towards the forest.
Rainfur nodded but said. "Just take it easy." (A lot of one line sentences. *sigh* I was never that great at details.)
Firesong smiled and grunted in reply. She slowly made her way to the scent of the two and followed it.
Rainfur padded up, keeping pace with her.
Firesong picked up the pace as the trail led farther towards Waterclan.
Rainfur caught up the pace, concerned they would go this far.
"What do you want outsider?" Swiftstar hissed at Tigerpaw.
Tigerpaw stopped startled. First, she was welcoming and let them join, now she was calling him outsider?
"You need to prove that you are loyal to this clan."Swiftstar said.
Tigerpaw stopped, thoughtful. That might take a while. "Can I go ahead and hunt for prey?" he asked. "I've already learned before."
"Ok. Please go and hunt." Swiftstar meowed.
Tigerpaw nodded and bounded out of the den. He faintly caught Rainfur's and Firesong's scents but thought they wouldn't go this far. Just in case, he headed to the other end of the territory and caught a shrew runnning out of the bushes. He turned and caught scent of a squirrel.
Firesong had stopped at the riverclan border where the scent vanished. She hissed in frustration.
Rainfur rested a tail on her shoulder. "It's okay." he said. "I'm sure they would believe us that we were looking for Tigerpaw and Snakepaw."
Firesong nodded and turned back towards Fireclan.
"Let's go back..." Rainfur said as he turned back towards camp. They had left them. There was nothing they could do about it.
AW... well I'll put up the last chapter after this. Yes the prophecy is not going to be fulfilled in this story, what were you thinking? And if I write the sequel with the prophecy, I also have a third sequel about Rainfur as Rainstar of Waterclan. So it's 12:30 AM and I'm going to write the last chapter now.
