Rainshadow

*”The only weak cat here is YOU, Redsong.” [-] ”You can’t just assume everything will die. I highly believe you’ll die before your kits or yellowwhistle and Bluevoice with this selfish personality you have. If you really don’t care, then why bother even staying? All you care about is power and strength. You hate Drizzlejump because he isn’t like you. He isn’t powerhungry or selfish!”*

When his brother comes in camp with Foxscratch, the BoulderClan deputy, with two kits, Rainshadow races up and asks what happened. Drizzlejump describes how they found them at the cliff. Rainshadow asks if they are clan or rogue, and Drizzlejump replies he doesn’t know, and what matters is that they stay alive.

Rainshadow wanders around the grassy clearing, and sees Spiritbomb there. He calls his name excitedly, and asks what he is doing. Spiritbomb says he is collecting objects for a project of his. Rainshadow asks if he can help, and Spiritbomb says he can grab some rocks. After he did his assignment, Rainshadow promises he wouldn’t tell about the secret project. He later over to the flower-field.

At the sun drown place, he is waiting for Tumblemouse there, wondering why she’s so late. Tumblemouse appears, who looks sad for a moment before racing to him and brushed her pelt against his. Rainshadow asks what happened, and he learns that Tumblemouse’s sister, Laurelthorn, has been recently exiled over a fight that broke out in camp. Tumblemouse reveals she has other news, and that she is expecting kits. Rainshadow is enthusiastic of becoming a father.

He later talks to Redsong after he finds out shes expecting Drizzlejump’s kits. Rainshadow gives her a mouse he caught, and asks many questions, like if she and drizzlejump get along, and what will she name the kits. Redsong replies she doesn’t know. When Rainshadow begins to talk alot, Redsong thinks hes annoying. When Amberstar comes back to camp exhausted with fur all dirty, He and Mothflutter come up to her, and Mothflutter asks where she has been. Rainshadow begins to fret over his leader. An argument breaks out with Foxscratch and Amberstar, he and Mothflutter look confused.

Rainshadow frets over Drizzlejump when he sees a scratch on his nose. Drizzlejump reassures him its alright, and Rainshadow believes it, unaware it is a lie. He looks worried before he says he needs to go and walks out of camp. Rainshadow later finds Redsong at the bridge, and confronts her. He and Redsong argue over Drizzlejump, and he looses his temper and yells at her to stop blaming Drizzlejump for everything, and lashes out at her. The two then fight, which results in Redsong getting her eye clawed out, and Rainshadow having facial scars. He almost throws Redsong out the bridge, but changes his mind and drags her back to camp. There, Redsong pretends to act innocent, and Drizzlejump hesitates to choose, but ultimately chooses Redsong and tells Rainshadow he needs to leave. Mountainflame, a older warrior, shares a small conversation with Rainshadow before he leaves.

He runs to NeedleClan, thinking of Tumblemouse. He is found by Hailfall, the NeedleClan deputy, and Jayfall. There, he is taken care by Nibblegnaw, who was there because she was one of the SwiftClan cats that came to find milk for some kits they came with. is happy to be with Tumblemouse, and learns that she had gave birth to his kits.

Rainshadow later befriends Jayfall and speaks to him about Drizzlejump. Rainshadow sees how eager Jayfall is to know about Drizzlejump, and the two agree to go out to find him. They find Drizzlejump, who was wandering around the border. Drizzlejump nuzzles his brother and frantically apologizes to him before he notices Jayfall. Rainshadow introduces him to Jayfall again. The three talk about what’s happening in their respective clans, before Rainshadow has to go and says goodbye.

Rainshadow is out with Tumblemouse, and writes a T + R on the ground, smiling at her, unaware that Horsespirit is watching them from the bushes. He comes out and says hello to the two, and Tumblemouse says hello back, and Rainshadow asks if he’s come back. Horsespirit says no, and asks if NeedleClan has still been tense, Rainshadow replies with probably, and grooms his pelt as Tumblemouse does all the talking. Horsespirit then talks about EagleClan, a group where its safer than NeedleClan, convincing the two to bring their kits and themselves to stay, and they agree to go. A few days later they tell their kits they are leaving NeedleClan, and invites Jayfall to go, saying Drizzlejump is there, and the warrior agrees. The cats leave camp and journey to EagleClan. Redsong isn’t too happy to see him, but Fuzzycrest, the deputy, tells her to calm down. She greets the newcomers and shows them around camp.

Rainshadow finds Jayfall and a dead Okapicrash who was recently killed by Foxscratch, at the DeerClan and NeedleClan border, and is shocked. He calls for Jayfall’s name, who lashes out at him in anger. Rainshadow doesn’t lash out back since he knows Jayfall is still processing Okapicrash’s death, and comforts him. When Drizzlejump comes back to camp holding an injured Buttercuppaw, Rainshadow insists to catch her some prey for when she wakes up, and Drizzlejump thanks him.

When Laurelthorn, Tumblemouse’s sister gets angry after she is rejected from joining, she is one of the cats she attacks, and bites off his ear. Rainshadow isn’t able to fight back, and Drizzlejump and Bouldersong attack her. After the battle, he races over to a traumatized Tumblemouse, reassuring her it’s fine, and that laurelthorn is gone. During EagleClan’s raid on NeedleClan, he comes out of the warriors den when Tumblemouse calls for him. He is shocked that they left to go fight NeedleClan, and suggests they need to help and tell somebody. Yellowwhistle joins the conversation saying that they can’t tell anybody, as they don’t know who is working behind Spiritbomb’s back. They arrange an escape plan.

The day they make their attempted escape, Rainshadow wakes up alongside Tumblemouse in the middle of the night, being woken up by Yellowwhistle, who tells them that it’s time. Drizzlejump wakes up, and asks where they are going. Rainshadow replies they are leaving, and Drizzlejump is shocked, and asks where they will go. Tumblemouse says somewhere that isn’t EagleClan. Drizzlejump is saddened, though he says he can’t come, and asks if they are bringing their kits. Yellowwhistle answers for them, saying that their kits will have to make their own choices. Rainshadow and Tumblemouse are saddened to leave their kits, but knew Yellowwhistle had a point. Drizzlejump says goodbye and good luck, They leave camp unaware there are cats watching them. When they are wandeing around DeerClan border, Tumblemouse feels uneasy and stops. Daggerslash comes out of the shadows and attacks Yellowwhistle, who yells at the two to run.
