Rosepaw padded through the dew covered grass her light grey pelt sparkling in the morning light. A familiar smell crossed the young cats nose.

"Adderpaw!" Rosepaw asked.

"Rosepaw?" Adderpaw stuck his tortoiseshell head through the under growth.

Rosepaw smiled "Hi Adderpaw!".

"Hey Rosepaw, I was wondering if you would come on a hunting patrol with me and Spidersplash?" Adderpaw asked coming fully into the clearing.

"S-sure" Rosepaw nodded.

The two cats walked side-by-side back to Dawnclan camp. As they neared the camp Rosepaw stiffened.

'Blood! was there a battle, is my clan split up'.

Adderpaw ran forward, not looking back to make sure Rosepaw was following.

"Adderpaw wait!" Rosepaw's desperate cry was cut off by the sound of caterwauling.

Adderpaw raced through the bushes with fresh battle scars along his flank. "Run!" he shouted at her.

Rosepaw followed Adderpaw through the trees, she didn't dare look back. "Wh-what was that?" she heaved up a tree behind her clan-mate.

"Ravenclan" he gasped catching his breath.

'Ravenclan! what are they doing on Dawnclan territory' Rosepaw wondered.

"We can't go back Rosepaw" Adderpaw sighed. "Ragestar is dead and half the clan is scattered".

Rosepaw nodded understandably and the two apprentices padded off into the setting sun, to find the remains of Dawnclan...if possible.
