This is the Dawn POV we've been waiting for. I'm only do Dawn and Ravenpaw now. Vote if you still want a Graystripe POV!
Dawn woke up and stretched. It was the second day of their journey. Ravenpaw had told them about a tunnel, and a large ThunderPath called a 'highway.' He told them they would meet Moon tonight.
Ravenpaw was awake. He was watching around with large eyes, looking out for trouble. Dawn went over and sat beside him.
"Morning." she purred. Ravenpaw nuzzled her and gazed at the rising sun. They sat in silence, both staring at the beautiful sight.
Graystripe insisted they get moving the moment he got up. Ravenpaw sighed and lead the group on.
In a few minutes, Dawn could hear the ThunderPath. It was loud and growling, many monsters passing over it. She gasped at how big it was.
"How are we ever going to cross it?" she said wiht dispare.
Ravenpaw purred. "Don't worry." he said, with a mischievious glint in his eye. "I have it all planned out." he nuzzled her and then turned sharply at the Thunderpath.
Back into the forest they went. Dawn could hear the rushing of water. Soon, an awful smell came to her nose.
"Eww." she hissed.
"Hey, if you dont like it, take your chances out there." Ravenpaw muttered darkly, flicking tail towards the Thunderpath. Dawn shuddered.
Ravenpaw huddled over a small hole in the cement of the Thunderpath. Dawn ment over and spotted a small tunnel, leading right under it! What a brillinat idea.!" she thought happily.
Ravenpaw crouched down and soon disappeared. She heard his voice from afar. "Dawn, you next."
Dawn crouched down like Ravenpaw had and slipped into the tunnel. She felt slime and mud oze over her neatly groomed fur. The terrible smell filled her nostrils. It grew so dark that she could no longer see. She began to panic.
"Come on Dawn!" she heard Ravenpaw urge.
Dawn focused on his voice and pulled herself through the slime. She lifted her head up and saw the light at the end of the tunnel! Praying silent thanks to the place Ravenpaw and Graystripe called 'StarClan', she pushed out of the tunnel.
"Eww!" she meowed. "I never want to go in there again!"
"Let's hope you won't have to." smiled Ravenpaw. He moved forward to give her a swift lick on the ear, but because of the the slime, he backed away. "The stream's over here. Let's go wash off." he muttered, slightly embarressed.
"Okay." said Dawn happily. She brushed past Ravenpaw and let the cool water seep all over her slimey body. Graystripe joined them, a rabbit in his jaws.
"Now, I met some BloodClan cats over the Thunderptah coming up." Ravenpaw started. Dawn noticed Graystripe sit straight up, his eyes wide.
"BloodClan?" he gapsed. "How did you escape?" Dawn had a feeling that BloodClan was one of the evil Clans that Graystripe had once told her about.
"It was only one warrior." Ravenpaw said modestly. "I fought him off when he treatened to take me captive." he added.
"Well, let's get moving then. If we want to find this Moon by sundown, which considering the circumstances we should, we'll have to get going." Dawn said. She got up and the three shared Graystripe's rabbit.
They moved more quickly now, Graystripe pausing and scenting the air every once and awhile. The two expeirienced forest cats were ready for danger. Dawn, who had been a kittypet all her lfie, was wondering if she could keep up.
I really want to join the forest cats though! she thought. She decided to scent the air like the others.
"Do you smell that?" she asked. She had detected a slight odor of cat. Graystripe got up and scented the air also.
"Get down." said the gray warrior at once. "In that bush, now." he said sternly. Dawn obetiantly ducked into the bush, Ravenpaw and Graystripe close behind.
Every fur on her pelt bristled. She had never battled before. And if these BloodClan cats were as bad as Graystripe said they were, they would look for a fight.
She held her breath as she heard footsteps coming closer. She smelled a tom. His footsteps grw louder. A growl rose in Ravenpaw's throat. Dawn heart skipped a beat as she heard the cat stop outside the bush they were hiding, and poke his head through.
How did you like it? Ravenpaw next!
