Raincloud sped up, trying to stay right by her mate's side. However, she began to get tired, and slowed down, not wanting to waste energy for the big fight. Her claws were unsheathed, and she momentarily sharpened them on a tree, then stopped to take a few breaths. Peaceheart began to get closer, but Raincloud didn't mind and began to run again, trying to make sure it wasn't many against one, the "one" being Stripepelt.
