(Ravenpaw's POV)

It was a cold day of Leaf-fall, the once green leaves were changing colors and falling down. For Ravenpaw, it was a time he missed the most. A time that showed the beauty of the forest he once lived in when he was younger.

It felt like such a long time ago when he left his clan to run from Tigerclaw that would try to kill him for knowing his dark secret. Ravenpaw knew that his past was behind him, even though his clan might know that he was still alive. For now, his life would always belonged outside of clans, with his friend Bailey.

Today was one of his days of hunting in the forest, since the barn was running low on mice. Bailey didn't want to come because he was cleaning both of there nests.

Ravenpaw didn't mind too much, he loved hunting alone just as much as he liked to do when he was still a apprentice of ThunderClan.

The leaves were flying on the wind that brought the scent of the trees from the forest north of the barn. It wasn't long before Ravenpaw got into the forest and he could see the lovely colors of the trees.

"Just like old times," Ravenpaw said to himself as he continued to walk. For a moment everything was peaceful, until he heard a bang.

Shocked and surprised at the same time, he heard the sound again. What in StarClan's name is that? Instead of running away from the sound, he decided to investigate.

He rushed through the forest until he came to a clearing where he saw a hawk lay quite dead. At first Ravenpaw was careful in case the hawk was still alive, but nothing happened and the hawk was still lifeless.

What really got his eye was the kit that lay at the hawk's side, he looked pretty badly injured. Ravenpaw rushed to the kit's side and checked if he was breathing. He could hear him breathing still strong.

Ravenpaw didn't know what to do. Maybe I could could take him to the barn, until his wounds healed. Suddenly he could hear a twoleg's loud footsteps and several dogs, there barks were getting even louder as they got closer.

Ravenpaw knew there wasn't any more time to think and carefully picked the kit in his jaws. He began to run as fast as his legs would take him, even as the dogs were still following him.

Branches from the bushes scared at his face as he continued to run. Ravenpaw's face felt hurt, but he was not going to give up getting the kit to safety.

Finally he made it out of the forest and made one last long run to the barn, he could not hear the barks of the dogs anymore.

It wasn't long before he made to the door of the barn and he could she that his friend Bailey was waiting for him. "Ravenpaw, I heard dogs barking, I thought the ones the twolegs hold up on chains got lose to chase after you," he meowed and then Bailey saw what Ravenpaw was carrying.

"Where did you find that kit? The poor thing looks badly injured". Ravenpaw put the kit down and then told his friend everything.

Once Bailey was told everything Ravenpaw said, he understood what had happened. "This kit will need a lot of healing if he is going to survive, he's lucky that he was not seriously injured," Bailey meowed after he checked the young kit's wounds.

But how come he has not woken up yet? He's breathing fine as well as his heartbeat. Do you think he will live if he's been out in cold for so long?" Ravenpaw asked his friend, he was getting worried for the young kit.

"I'm not sure, I never saw anything like this before, but in the mean time we must heal his wounds before they get infected or worse. Ravenpaw, you must go to WindClan to ask for the herb that is needed to help him heal?" Bailey asked him.

Ravenpaw looked at his friend puzzled. "How do you know anyone from WindClan? Why can't we ask ThunderClan for help?" Ravenpaw questioned Bailey's choice in choosing WindClan over his original clan he once belonged to.

"Because it might take a day's journey to reach there and we need the herbs as quick as we can. Besides, Barkface and I are friends since I let there clan rest before they finally went home".

Ravenpaw nodded his head to his friend. "Right, I'll go right away, keep watch of him in case he wakes up," he meowed in reply and stopped to look at the kit.

Be brave young one, don't go to the clan of the stars yet. You still have a life in our world.
