Rainpath nodded, imediately realizing his concern. Their clan was signifigantly lacking warriors. What if northstorm and stoneheart somehow convinced moonclan to go to battle with them as revenge? There were some powerful fighters in her clan but with moonclan's numbers it wouldn't matter. They needed more apprentices, but there weren't any queens in the clan to have kits. You're a she cat, she told herself, would you do that for your clan? She stared at her paws guiltily. She wouldn't mind having kits, but......she didn't want to rush anything in finding a mate. What she was truly fearful of was what happened to stoneheart. She used to be a good cat, a valuable warrior. Then when northstorm became her mate, he influenced her in ways no one could have imagined. What if her mate did that to her?

Swiftheart thought to himself "This clan needs more kits, what can i do though, first off I'm a tom cat second I'm medicine cat." He gazed at Rainpath for a second he really did care about her even if by some miracle she felt the same way and they did have kits... "No" he thought "she'd never love a weak lame medicine cat like me."

Rainpath stood as best as she could, wobbling a little with nasea. She just had to put a little more thought into the subject and figure out wich decision would impact the clan most. For now, her only duty was to make sure her clan was aware of the looming threat of their former warriors. "Let's go," she mewed, a bit of strength returning to her voice, "our leader must know."

Swiftheart stood beside her "Yeah the sooner they know the better." he had to push his emotions to the back of his mind, at least for now that is. He started walking out into the clearing.

Rainpath followed swiftheart into the clearing, stumbling a little as a wave of nasea rolled over her. But she did feel a lot better since he treated her, all the blood she lost slowly being replenished. She desperately hoped their leader would know what to do about their ordeal. She wasn't completely sure on how she'd handle the problem if she was in spicestar's position, but she had to learn if she wanted to be leader herself one day. She suddenly remembered what firesoul had told her during the battle, about her destiney. She wished it was true.

(since spicestar and rainpelt aren't that active should we just pretend we told them?) Swiftheart walked beside Rainpath wondering to himself "could a she-cat like her ever love a tom like me?" his mind kept racing back to when he'd had Northstorm's neck in his jaws, what was he becoming? only two moons or so ago he would never have even thought of killing anyone was he becoming like them? dear starclan he hoped not.

(yeah) Rainpath stared at the medicine cat with concern. He seemed forlorn. "Are you alright?" she asked quietly. she assumed he was still shaken up from the battle; she was actually still reeling from her own near death experience. a wave of nasea rolled over her and she shuddered as she remembered sinking, drowning in the darkness of death.

Rainpath's voice jerked him back to reality, he turned to her, "Oh, uh, yeah Just a bit shaken from the battle, shall we go back to the den now?" He knew he couldn't possibly be turning into Northstorm, he still cared about his clan above all else, especially Rainpath. Once they were back in the den Swiftheart settled down in his nest and almost immediatly fell asleep. The ream that ensued would haunt him for seasons to come. At first it was serene he was in the medicine cat's den, him and Rainpath. She walked over to him and whispered in his ear "I love you" He smiled and said "I love you too." He licked her face affectionately. When suddenly the den, Rainpath everything melted away. Swiftheart was standing in a dark forest. He heard a bloodcurdling shriek coming from the depths of the woods, he couldn't Identity it but he knew it was a she cat he knew. He ran off in the direction of the screams. as he got closer to the source of the screams thy became louder, soon he was running on earth saturated in blood there was the body of a thin she cat her coat so covered in blood he couldn't tell who she was. he got closer, when the she cat launched at him, and she turned into Northstorm, Northstorm laughed evilly and said "I took your sister now I'll take everyone else you love!" he faded away into black fog and the screams started again it was three distinct she cats, herbfeather, Firesoul and Rainpath, each one came from a different direction. He ran off towards Rainpath screams, what he saw he will never forget. It was all three of them Firesoul,Herbfeather and Rainpath all dead strewn about like toys some kit had gotten tired of. Northstorm and Stoneheart stepped forward, covered in blood they said in sync "No matter how hard you try you cant save them all" he jolted awake horrified, his paw-pads dripping with sweat he exhaled and thought aloud "Thank starclan it was just a dream."

Rainpath settled into a nest in the medicine den, but she couldn't sleep. Even though the horrifying battle had drained her of all of her energy, she was just too anxious to rest. She glanced at Swiftheart, who was twitching violently in his sleep. He must be having a hard time too. She layed her head down and forced her eyes shut, trying desperately to sleep. She sat up with a sigh, irritated with herself for her restlessness. but as she gazed around she realized immediately that she was not awake. Where am I? she wondered, shivering in the cool, damp air. She was surrounded by dark, ominous trees towering over her, and a rotting stench hung strongly in the moist air. movement flickered in the distance, and she crouched nervously, fearing an enemy was near. From the fog in front of her, a she-cat emerged, her sleek fur and muscular build resembling that of moonclan. Rainpath unsheathed her claws and hisssed defensively. "Who are you?" The she-cat merely grinned pleasantly and replied, "I am Riptide." Rainpath looked her up and down stiffly, her many scars and intimidating stature making her nervous. "what do you want?" she growled, tensing her muscles in preparation for a fight, "why are you in my dream?" there was no way her subconscious had conjured her up. And she most definitely didn't come from starclan. Her dark, ominous demeanor seeming nothing like the reverent appearance of Fyre. She barred her teeth in reply, digging her long claws deep into the dirt. "why so hostile?" she cackled, sounding like a dying crow, "I'm just here to warn you. I saw the skirmish earlier. You should brush up on your fighting skills; a warrior shouldn't nearly die after fighting two opponents. Northstorm is getting stronger, and we both know what he's after," her dark green eyes seemed to peer straight into her soul, "you'll never become leader with him in the way," she licked her paw casually, casting her an evil glance, "I could teach you, you know. I could make you strong enough to beat him." Rainpath watched her carefully, knowing something was wrong here. Why wouldn't she tell her where they are? Why was she offering to train her? It couldn't have been an act of kindness. She was after something else. "no thanks," she shuddered, backing away slowly, "I'm already a full warrior. I don't need any more training." riptide shrugged in reply, seeming indifferent. "suit yourself. But be warned," her voice suddenly became harsh, "Northstorm will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And right now, that's revenge." she swiftly turned around and began to stalk off, but before she disappeared into the mist, she turned her head back around to say, "it would be quite a shame if they took their vengeance out on the clan, and you were powerless to stop it." before she could process and respond to what she'd said, she was being pulled away, awakening back in the medicine den. She exhaled sharply, the agonizing pain in her neck and belly returning. She looked up and noticed swiftheart was awake as well, his eyes widened with shock and fear. "swiftheart?" she asked concernedly, standing shakily from her nest, "are you alright?"

Swiftheart jolted a but as he heard Rainpath's voice he looked over at her and instantly felt reassured, she was alright and so was everyone else in the clan. He replied to her with a tinge of nervousness, "Oh, yes I'm fine just a bad dream, its probably nothing." He wiped his paws on the den floor it felt good to have dirt under his paws. The dream had startled him but he knew it was probably just his old paranoia coming in.
