#### *Acornpelt's Past*

Raintail is first seen when Nightpaw, Acornpaw, Jaypaw and Foxbelly are captured by ShadowClan. He sneers at Nightpaw that she's in trouble, and he had always thought she'd be the one saving her Clanmates. She asks if he's still angry that she didn't agree to join ShadowClan and be his apprentice, and he snarls that she doesn't know how difficult it is to find a worthy apprentice. Nightpaw then suggests that if she becomes his apprentice, he can call off the battle with ThunderClan. Raintail admits he can't do that, but promises to provide ThunderClan with inside information. He then leads her away, leaving the three other warriors as prisoners.

Once the ThunderClan patrol escape, they see Nightpaw and Raintail walking side by side, until Nightpaw suddenly knocks him to the ground, stunning him, and the ThunderClan cats escape.

Some time later, when Nightpaw is out of camp alone, she feels a cat come crashing down on her, and it's revealed to be Raintail. He hisses that this is what happens to liars, and he drags her from ThunderClan territory to ShadowClan. Nightpaw snaps that he'll never get away with it, but he ignores her and throws her into an empty den in the ShadowClan camp, then leaves.
