Rain Face's Romantic Journey: Prologue

It was a bright sunny day. The birds were blooming and the flowers were singing. Inside the medicine cat's den Orangeeye, the medicine cat, was receiving a prophecy:

Water and Love will change everything.

And then he woke up startled. "Oh my Starclan," he exclaimed, "I must go tell the clan leader about this prophecy!" Then Orangeeye walked out of his den to go tell the leader. "Waspstar!" he exclaimed, "I have to tell you something!"

"What is it Orangeeye," said Dragonflytail, leaning out behind a rock.

"I have to talk to Waspstar!" said Orangeeye to the Clan Deputy,

"Well ok then, She's inside the Apprentice den, telling the new apprentices who they're going to patrol with.

"Oh ok, thank you for telling me,: said Orangeeye.

Orangeeye sauntered over to the apprentice den where he heard Waspstar talking loudly to a particularly stupid apprentice. "For the love of Starclan Strawberrypaw, what did I say about getting seeds all over the shop!" exclaimed Waspstar.

"Hey Waspstar, I have to tell you something!" exclaimed Orangeeye.

"Oh, what is it now?" exclaimed Waspstar in an annoyed manner.

"Well I got this prophecy from Starclan earlier today!" exclaimed Orangeeye.

"Well? What is it?" questioned Waspstar.

Orangeeye looked slightly miffed about the impatience of his clan leader. "Well it was very confusing: Water and Love will change everything," said Orangeeye quietly.

"Oh, ya never get quiet, so this must be serious!" exclaimed Waspstar. She padded around nervously. She stopped and looked up at the sky. "It's starting to rain now, we better get inside," she said. She slowly walked into the medicine den with Orangeeye and looked around thoughtfully.

"ORANGEEYE, WE NEED YOU RIGHT NOW!" exclaimed a cat from outside.

"What is it Roachpelt, what do you need," asked Orangeeye.

"My mate, Beeear, is kitting!" he exclaimed.

"Well get 'er in 'ere," said Waspstar in a commanding order.

Roachpelt walked in with a tired looking she cat with a swollen belly. She stumbled as she walked through the entrance, then she collapsed on the floor.

"Come on Beeear," said Orangeeye, "you can do it!" He walked over to the herbs and gave her some poppy seeds. Beeear ate the seeds slowly and then suddenly convulsed on the ground.

"Oh there coming!" she exclaimed. Then out came two kits, one at a time. One was a male with a dark coat and a white patch on his muzzle, the other, a tan she cat with red patches on her paws.

"What shall we name them dear?" asked Roachpelt.

"The female will be Redkit and the male will be Rainkit," she breathed out. She then began to vigorously lick her kits. They soon cuddled into her stomach and latched onto a teat. Beeear smiled down at her kits. Her life couldn't get any better now.


In the darkness of the Dark Forest, Tigerstar sat in the darkness. "Hmm," he said, "there is a disturbance to my plan." He then got up and looked into his mind for a memory that would serve the purpose of remembering for him. Suddenly he shot up and whispered, "The Prophecy." He lashed his tail around as his face contorted in anger. "I cannot allow this!" he exclaimed, "not after all my hard work!" He stalked deeper into the forest to think of a plan to rectify the flaw in his plan.
