Secrets
As per usual, Warriors isn't mine.
Chapter 6
Rainfire sat up, blinking rain out of his eyes. Darkclan had finally reached the forest, but hadn't found a camp yet. They had been too tired to continue last night, and Rainfire had fallen asleep immediately. But now he felt much more energetic. His sleeping place, under a bush, was leaking rainwater on his face. Rainfire peered out from the bush and a raindrop fell in his eye.
Muttering crossly under his breath and rubbing his smarting eye, Rainfire crept out from under the bush. Last night the dry, crackling leaves had seemed welcome, but in the storm, they were soggy, and the sparse covering from the bush was doing nothing to keep him dry.
Rainfire flinched at the freezing touch of the rain, but he was glad it wasn't snowing. Snow would make it hard to find a camp. Rainfire sighed. He wished it wasn't raining. He gave his orange fur a few licks and peered around. He noticed Squirrelheart and Brambletail, protected by bracken and an ivy covered tree. Rainfire felt a twinge of jealousy run through him. Why didn't they come with me? It would've been like the warriors den! Rainfire felt tempted to join them, but he changed his mind and padded over to Ravenleap, Birchclaw, and Swiftstep instead. He curled up by Ravenleap. Of course they didn't stay with me.
"Eurgh...S' not time to get up yet..." Ravenleap mumbled sleepily when Rainfire curled up beside him. Rainfire stifled a laugh and instantly fell asleep.
Later, Rainfire padded through the forest. Shinestar was leading Darkclan on an expedition through the forest to find a new camp. The rain had stopped and his fur was almost dry; Rainfire felt much better. The cats could hunt as they went, so most of them were fed, but Rainfire hadn't eaten anything yet and he was hungry.
There was a rustling noise under a bush and Rainfire pricked up his ears. He tried to smell what was there, but the rain made it hard to tell. Rainfire was surprised (and disappointed) when he saw what had come out. A toad?
Suddenly, a bird swooped down and snatched up the toad. Rainfire perked up. A bird I can eat! He jumped at the bird, but as he batted it out of the air, he smelled something...Is that ...cat?
Rainfire picked up his kill and peered nervously into the woods, but he didn't see any cats, so he headed towards the rest of his clan. That smell didn't come from Darkclan, that's for sure!
The next thing he knew, he was being attacked from behind.
