Flames eat the plants and trees, growing quicker and faster. Rainstorm yowls with terror. Fire!? How would fire start in her beloved forest!? She heard roars of other cats, panicking screeches flooding the air. She saw Windstar and her Clan running out of the forest, all wide-eyed and everyone freaking out. They headed for the edge of the forest. Shadowflight trips on a log, sending her stumbling into the fire. "Rainstorm, no!" Windstar yowls as Rainstorm jumped into the fire. Rainstorm's eyes went foggy, but she trudged on. Shadowflight had her leg stuck under a big, heavy, branch. She was desperately trying to pull herself free, small, panicked yelps escaping her lips.
Rainstorm jumps toward her, trying to push it off. "Don't worry, Shadowflight. I got this," Rainstorm shuts her eyes, and pushes. The branch creaked, and moved a little bit. "Come on, I can do this. You can do this, Rainstorm." She mews to herself, pushing all her strength of the branch, and it heaved off her. This time, Rainstorm's breathing was ragged, and she coughs. "Come on!" she rasps, and runs for the nearest exit. "Hurry!" Rainstorm panicks, trying to push Shadowflight out. "Come on!" Rainstorm's voice was growing more ragged by the minute, the smoke thickening very quickly, more quickly than anybody would have liked. Shadowflight's flank was heaving as she dragged herself out. "Come on, Shadowflight! We can do this!" She encouraged the young warrior. Shadowflight nods, her eyes narrowing in deep concentration as she dragged herself along with Rainstorm, which now was stumbling behind. A flaming branch creaked, and soon Rainstorm heard a SNAP! She looked up, to find to her horror, it falling. "Shadowflight, MOVE!" Rainstorm yowls, but the branch was too quick. It knocked Rainstorm on the head, making her fall slowly unconsciousness along with Shadowflight.
The blurry vision of roaring red, orange flames eating up the forest, anxious screams from her Clanmates, calling her name and Shadowflights. Shadowflight whimpers, her eyes closing slowly. "Are we going to die?" she manages to whisper. Rainstorm's tongue was as dry as sandpaper. "Possibly..." Rainstorm managed to mew before pitch-black darkness over took her. Rainstorm blinked open her eyes, muscles screaming fur scorched, pelt a little bit, bloody from sticks and stones that dug in her pelt when she fainted. She didn't feel anything, of course. She found herself in a bright clearing, with bright falling leaves that swirled around her. Her moss was soft, and fresh. Rainstorm could feel that it was freshly changed, and it was really comfortable. Geese feathers were interwoven in it, making it really comfortable.
Rainstorm shook her head, in case if she was dreaming. But something caught her view. It was a cat, and no close scent of the Clan cats. Finally, Rainstorm got the courage to ask and speak. "Who are you?" she questioned the stranger. The dark-pelted cat looked up at her with glittering amber eyes. "I'm not one of your Clan cats," he tells her. "I'm a 'loner,' or 'rogue' whatever you Clan cats call it.
"My name is Talon," Talon meows. Rainstorm blinked, eying the tom. She saw a sleeping Shadowflight beside her, with painful signed fur, cracked dry paws. "How-how did we get here?"Rainstorm asked in disbelief. "I was fleeing from the fire when I saw you two." He meows quietly. "I couldn't just leave you there.. So, instead I took you in and healed you with the best of my abilities." He shrugs. "That's where you are now, in my den." He lays some marigold pulp to her wounds, causing her to tense.
"Alright," Rainstorm sighs, and staggers to her paws. "Get down," Talon growls, and pushed her down with one paw. "Your not fully healed yet!" He sighs. "If your so bored, you can watch me and learn something, OR you can go do something useful...sleep!" He mews. Rainstorm nods and closed her eyes, falling into a nice sleep. Rainstorm blinked open her eyes, thinking she was back in her own nest, but instead, she was at the loners place with Shadowflight. The young warrior was up on her paws, talking quietly with Talon. Rainstorm realized now that she hasn't told him her name yet. She pads over to the loner. "I want to thank you, for helping us. We would have been dead," Rainstorm mews. The tom smiled. "Your welcome...?" "Rainstorm." She meows. The tom smiles.
"Your very welcome...Rainstorm." He twitched his tail. "We better go," she tells Shadowflight. Shadowflight gives a brusque nod, and smiles warmly to Talon. "May StarClan light your path," she meows, flicking her tail to Shadowflight indicating her to follow her, and she pads toward the ash-burn forest, leaving Talon alone with his burning gaze resting on the place that she just left. Rainstorm felt weird. She didn't like leaving him, somehow, but she knew she had to return to her Clan. Her Clan needed her, and she needed them. Rainstorm skirts over the fire-burned undergrowth, fire was gone, and Rainstorm winced as she pads through the forest, ash burning her paws. "
Not easy." Shadowflight growls, hopping out of the way as a flaming branch falls on the ground, only inches where Shadowflight was moments ago. Rainstorm sighs. "I think that the Clans evacuated to the borders. Near the river." Rainstorm mews, as she picks up the pace. Shadowflight dopped in beside her, panting. "The Clans might think we're dead." She mews quietly, after some time of jogging toward the river. "Yeah," she answers as they reach the clearing, where all the Clans lay, full of cats on the ground, fur signed and scarred, cracked, dry pads and some even were knocked unconscious. "Rainstorm? Shadowflight!?" gasped a cat. "Your alive!"
Rainstorm's mother bounds over to her, purring loud enough to wake up the birds. "I thought you were dead!" she says, digging her nose in her shoulder. Hurricanefire's eyes were full of relief, nuzzling her. "How did you escape?" she asks worriedly, but then Rainstorm's sister bounded to her. "Rainstorm!" Leafstorm purrs. "How did you escape? When that flaming branch fell, I thought you were a goner— " She stopped after the gaze that Hurricanefire shot her. Stormheart bounds to Rainstorm, purring. "Rainstorm!" he smiles. "Your more tough then I thought!" his eyes shine. Shadowflight was entertaining a bunch of kits by explaining what happened. Rainstorm flicked her tail, eyes glowed.
"It really felt good," she admits to Stormheart. "Saving a Clanmate," she says wistfully. Suddenly a thought hits her. "Have you seen Lionfire?" she asks paws prickly, immediately regretting asking the question. Instead of an angry, bitter Stormheart, his gaze was sad. "He is unconscious, Winterfeather is doing everything she can to take care of him. She thinks that he'll join StarClan soon. He's really hurt," He sighs, flicking his ears. Rainstorm looked down her eyes dark. "We are making camp with all the other Clans. Working together until we figure out something." He mews. "But come on, Rainstorm. You need to rest, you must be hungry!" he points to a small fresh-kill pile. Rainstorm's eyes narrow, such a small pile. "I'll take a mouse," she decides at last, taking a plump sized mouse. "Want to share?" She asks Stormheart.
His eyes glow. "Yes please," he smiles, and sits at the opposite side of the mouse. He crouched down, tail swishing on the forest-floor. He took a small bite, and chewed thoughtfully. "Rainstorm, you never said how you did find your way here," Stormheart tells her, eyes pricking with curiosity. "You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," he adds quietly. "Nah, I'll say," Rainstorm mews, taking a bite of her prey. She munches on it before speaking. She swallows. "Well, a strange cat was running from the fire. He saw us, and we were unconscious at the time, he found someway to drag us to a nice clearing." Stormheart nods for her to go on, chewing on a mouse-bone." When I woke, I found my wounds partly healed, as well as Shadowflights." She meows. "Shadowflight was sleeping, but I got a glimpse of the cat who helped me. I found out later that his name was Talon." She told him, eyes searching Stormheart for emotions. But she didn't find any. He only sat up, and licked his paws.
"And well, when Shadowflight woke up, we came to find you." She meows. "How was everything here?" she asks him, stretching in the pale sunlight. "Oh, you know, just dragging every cat to the medicine-cats. They have the power of StarClan, those medicine cats! Worked all night. I swear if I was a medicine cat, I would be asleep on my paws! So fast and tireless, I kinda envy them. And I thought their job was easy!" He smiles. Rainstorm purrs, and lays down beside him, closing her eyes and relishing the feeling as a breeze that coaxed a storm above. Rainstorm opened her eyes, and gazed uncertainly up at the clouds above, and Stormheart did the same. A storm bubbled in his own eyes, and Rainstorm could tell something was wrong. "Stormheart? Is something wrong?" she asks him. Stormheart set his gaze on her, eyes serious and determined. "Come on, Rainstorm. A storm is coming, and it isn't a good one either."
