Why Rain?

[waterblaze13]

Foxfire looked around the warrior's den slowly, seeing only a sleeping figure or two among her she nodded. She stood and stretched, digging her claws into the dark, now somewhat more awake she set about to settling her den back. She moved the fur Darkstorm had given her back to where it had been the night before, and stashed the feather and stone underneath it. Happy with her daily routine she looked out of the entrance a little timid. She peeked at the prey pile, seeing what seemed to be a well over decent stack of food for the clan she padded briskly across the camp and out the entrance. "Since the clan still has plenty of food, I'll find something for myself then hunt for something for the kits!" she purred happily setting off at her usual hunting place with a bounce in her step.

The den was cool, comfortable and humid as Darkstorm slept easily. He had stayed up all night last night looking for the mysterious brown bunny, still angered by the fact that the rabbit crippled him. Darkstorm breathed quietly, rolling in his fur, his tail flicking silently on the floor. His bedding was in the very back of the den, so he wouldnt be stepped on when morning came. He tossed a little bit, pawing at the air as sleep expressions came across his face. He dreamed of chasing the brown rabbit, but after much pursuit the brown bunny had led him cleverly over a cliff edge. As Darkstorm fell, he meowed quietly in his sleep, the feeling of falling sended fear all over his body. The tabby tom jolted up in suprise, as he had made a terrible mess of his rocks and bedding. "Time to clean up, clusmy." He mumbled to himself and started to rearrange his belongings.

Foxfire looked up to the sky, frowning when a strong chance of rain seemed to threaten the sky. She shook of the feeling and stopped to scent the air, she thought she could smell a mouse. Dropping into a hunting crouch she peered around, finding the small gray-brown creature only a leap away. She put one paw in front of the other before leaping with outstretched claws. She lifted her head, the mouse's limp body hanging from her jaws. "Thank Starclan, this creature's life won't go to waste." she murmured, heading off into the direction of a lone tree.

Darkstorm finally finished his array of rainbow rocks, lining them up in a pattern at the very back wall so no one would step on them. He smoothed out his black fur on his moss, which was getting a little dingy. He took it out, and carried it over to the trash pile. Looking like it was going to rain, Darkstorm heard his stomach growl. He was going to have to hurry quickly to gather his moss, some prey for the new clan members and to scent the trail of the mysterious brown bunny. Hurrying out of camp past the medicine cat den he stopped, the hunger pains eating at his belly. He growled with his stomach and headed out to quickly get his stuff done.

Foxfire looked up to the tree, surprisingly leafy and seemed like it could hold her up. she grasped the mouse by the tail and dug her claws into the bark, climbing her way up to the second or third branch. She settled at the crook of the branch where it was wide enough to hold herself and her prey. She took a bite into the morsel and looked out over the territory she could see.

Darkstorm moved through the rocks quickly, his paw almost up to normal strenght. Looking quickly, almost frantically for moss he couldnt find one tree with enough. Darkstorm got a quick idea, snickering to his thoughts. "I will just find the mysterious kicking brown bunny and kill him! Then I will have the fluffiest bedding!" He laughed quietly, putting his nose to the ground he tried to pick up the scent of his new, and hated enemy. The clouds started to quietly, almost softly thunder. Darkstorm jumped in terror, not landing on his feet. He growled, hating the weather. But sometimes, sometimes Darkstorm liked the rain on his back when it was warm. Darkstorm smiled a bit at the feeling and kept looking for the scent of the mysterious kicking brown bunny.

Foxfire looked down at her breakfast, the mouse nearly being gone. At least she was full now, and no quaking stomach to deal with. Foxfire heard the soft thunder and her fur stood on end, soft showers were ok. But a loud thunderstorm! Loud noises caught her off guard enough, but thunder absolutely was out of the question, it terrified her. Foxfire tried calming herself down, and gave her chest and back a few licks to make it lie flat.

Now the rain started to fall, sofltly and silently only when the drops didnt hit the protective trees. Darkstorm made a face, the scent was fading quickly into the mud and rain water. Darkstorm jumped quickly into the muddy ground, keeping up with the scent quickly. He found a rabbit hole, and as he sniffed once more the mysterious kicking brown bunny emerged from the hole, back feet ready to kick Darkstorm in the face again. The tom jumped quickly, the tricky rabbit jumping away, kicking Darkstorm in the shoulder. He lunged again, taking half of his ear off. Lighting struck in the distance and Darkstorm instictively ran into the muddy rabbit hole, covering his whole head in muck. "Mouse brainssssss." He hissed and looked for the nearest pond to wash off.

Foxfire heard the thunder and pressed herself closer to the tree trunk. Only a water droplet or two actually penetrated the leaves, dropping it's way onto her ear or head. She shook her head, the water agitating to say the least. She watched as the rain fell off, the chill in the air only making her a tad cold due to the rain. Not nearly enough to truly become a bother. "I hope no one is out in this.." she murmured shrinking back as the roar of thunder and the crash of lightning appeared in the distance.

[~Darkeh~]

Darkstorm jumped and ran in fear of storms, the only real fear he seriously had. He growled at himself "Tough it out." He found a low stream, and washed himself in it. Water droplets that smelled of fresh rain stuck to his fur as he finished cleaning muck off of his black fur. Thinking about far off lightning and thinking about how he was being a wuss, he would climb the tallest tree he could find, and he would face a thunder cloud. Darkstorm looked around quickly, then he looked long and hard at his left paw. 'I can do it.' He thought, he found his tree and he started to climb quickly.
