Ligtning filled the sky as Ravenpaw wandered out. It was dark, she could barely see. Out of nowher ethere was a flash and a loud boom. RAvempaw woke with a start in her bed. She looked around to see other apprentices were still asleep. "It's almost sunrise..."she sighed. "I better go out and eat something" She left the den careful not to awake anyone and left.

Rushpaw woke up with a jumping start, and he looked around the room with wide eyes. Outside, it was raining so hard that the apprentices rock den was starting to shake lightly, and the thunder was so loud that it shook the dry rocky floor. Who could sleep in this weather? thought Rushpaw, snorting and standing up. Rushpaw yawned, stretched out his legs, and stuck his head outside the apprentices den, wincing at the stinging rain that quickly landed with hard drops on his muzzle.

"Augh...the rain wasn't a dream.."moand Ravenpaw. The pile of food was now surrounded by a small moat. "Not worth it...." she decided and turned to go back inside the den. There she saw Rushpaw sitting awake.

"Hey." whispered Rushpaw, pulling his head back in. Rushpaw shook his head, splattering drops of water everywhere. There was a groan from Mothpaw, who was sleeping near the entrance, and the mottled she-cat shifted to her other side and began snoring once again. "You would think it would be time for everybody to wake up, but they act like its before dawn." snorted Rushpaw, rolling his eyes.

"Eh...what can you expect?"said Ravenpaw. She walked back over to her bed and sat down. "The fresh-kill pile is surrounded by a moat this rain doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon." There was a crash of thunder outside and Ravenpaw flinched, even since she was a kit it had scared her.

"What, are you scared of thunder?" said Rushpaw, grinning, going over to his bed and sitting down also. "Hey, atleast your not scared of badgers." snorted Rushpaw, remembering faintly the badgers that had gave him his scar and shuddering at the memory.

Ravenpaw slashed Rushpaw's ear, but not enough to make it bleed. "You don't know what it's like" she hissed. "You can fight a badger and scare it off, but you can't fight lightning."

"Well." Rushpaw shrugged. "You cant block a badger out, but you can certainly block thunder and lightning out, if you try hard enough." Rushpaw glanced outside as a huge flash of lightning lite up the whole camp, and he flicked his ears up in surprise.

"Yeah right!" laughed Ravenpaw "I've seen lightning blow up a whole tree!" "Oh wait, not good look!" Ravenpaw gasped and motioned outside the den. A moment later lightning struck the fresh-kill pile and sent it into flames. "Wake everyone up, this is bad!" Stirrs of other cats filled the room. It seemed everyone wa swatching the food burn. "The rain will put it out" said an apprentice. "No..it wont.."whispered Ravenpaw. It was barely raining anymore and lightning strikes were getting closer to the camp. "Everyone follow me, into my den now!"screeched Rainstar who had came in. "It isn't safe, we need to get into the Earthclan tunnels!" The cats rushed out in bunches, terrified as lighning struck outside.

Rushpaw followed the crowd of cats, but he did have his doubts. "We cant go in there! The tunnels will collapse, and besides, Rainstars den is underneath a tree!" he yelled above the cats towards Ravenpaw, his eyes wide as he saw that the fire was getting closer. Rushpaw winced as he was pushed and shoved by another cat from behind, and he was slowly startled as he noticed that he was being shoved to the front of the crowd. "Woah! N-" next thing he knew, Rushpaw was tumbling down a small opening and being shoved into Rainstars den, a few new bruises beggining to form on his forelegs from the other stormclan cats as they shoved past him and into the earthclan tunnels.

Rainstar swam to an elevated island in the middle of the pond. It looked like everyone had gathered. "It looks like the seasonal rains have returned."she called out. "Until these rains stop, we will have to stay here." "When the thunder is gone I shall send out groups to recover what they can of the fresh-kill pile" Cats were now murmuring nervously to eachother, last year, a flood had left them homeless. "For now, feel free to explore." she finished and swam back to talk to Stonestar,the Earthclan leader.

"The lightning wont go through the tunnels, even if it strikes her den"said Ravenpaw. "Now, I"m going to grab something to eat, I'm starving!" She ran out of the cover and waded into the small moat surrounding the fresh-kill pille. She picked out two large rabits and ran back to the tunnels. "I"m going to give the bigger one to the elders, it should keep them quiet for a bit, you know how angry this weather makes them." she told Rushpaw, then dragged rabbit almost twice her size to the elders.
