## History

### Rainstorm's Fight or Flight

Rainstorm first appears as Rainkit in Chapter One of his novella, Rainstorm's fight or Flight. He sniffs a mouse on the fresh-kill pile, thinking hotly about how FlowerClan always gets the worst of leaf-bare prey while MistClan gets the more bountiful prey.

He takes the mouse off the fresh-kill pile and drags it over to a bush to eat it. He's about to take a bite when Tinyfang, the FlowerClan deputy, storms over and claws his ears. She yells that he doesn't deserve food since he can't catch it. He places the mouse on the pile angrily and runs off to the nursery to find his brother, Darkkit.

In the nursery, Rainkit's childhood friend Fernpaw is chatting with Darkkit and Dewkit. Rainkit greets her shyly and forgets all about Darkkit, inviting her to play a game of moss-ball. Fernpaw agrees and grabs a nearby bundle of moss.

They toss the moss-ball back and forth outside of the nursery for a while until it accidentally lands in the entrance to Flamestar's den. Fernpaw is disappointed, remarking that the game is over, but Rainkit, wanting to impress her, goes after the ball.

He grabs it and they attempt to exit, but just at that moment Flamestar appears. She claws their ears, drawing blood, and tells them to never enter their den again. Fernpaw sighs and beckons for Rainpaw to follow her, and they exit the den.

Later, Flamestar has called a clan meeting for their apprenticeship. The other kits, Darkkit, Crystalkit and Dewkit, pledge their loyalty to Flamestar without hesitation, though Rainkit is a bit more reluctant. Flamestar assigns Tinyfang as Rainpaw's mentor.

Fernpaw runs up to Rainpaw and Darkpaw and nuzzles them, happily proclaiming how she isn't the only apprentice in FlowerClan anymore. Darkpaw nuzzled Fernpaw back, agreeing with her, and Rainpaw glares at him in disgust.

In the next chapter, he walks into the camp with a cut paw-pad from Tinyfang's rough training style. He asks Fernpaw, lounging by the apprentice's den, if she'd like to hang out with him, and she agrees eagerly. At that momwnt, Darkpaw enters the conversation, exclaiming that he's going too. Rainpaw asks Fernpaw if she could teach him to hunt, as Tinyfang refuses to teach him. Rainpaw speculates that Tinyfang loathes Rainpaw personally.

Fernpaw agrees, saying she'll teach him later, and then exclaims that she wants to show them the Sky Tree. Nervously, Darkpaw and Rainpaw follow her through the forest; they arrive at the Sky Tree, a tree that seems to brush the sky with it's long points. Fernpaw jumps onto the bark, digging in her claws, and Rainpaw jumps on too, landing on the branch on top of Fernpaw. Darkpaw clambers up after Fernpaw and they nuzzle. Rainpaw jumps onto their branch jealously.

Rainpaw comments that the view is nice from the branch, and Fernpaw and Darkpaw agree. Fernpaw suggests that they spend the night in the tree, and Darkpaw and Rainpaw jump at the chance.
