If you haven't guessed, Whitie and Madam Cutie Cutes are gone. They left after they first escaped. Please review!

Ravenpaw leaped out at the cat and junged at him. It was a strong tabby male. Ravenpaw spat angerly at the collar of cat and dog teeth around the cat's neck. BloodClan were cannibals.

Graystripe came over to aid him, but only too soondid three other BloodClan warriors appear. Ravenpaw gasped. How could they defeat four warriors? Fear gripped him as he thought of Dawn. His heart jumped as he saw her leap from the bush out at one of the females.

Ravenpaw threw the cat off of him and raced over to aid the she-cat. Dawn was feriously snarling in the white tabby's face. Ravenpaw skidded the cat off of her, who ran itno the trees.

All of the sudden, five more BloodClan warriors appeared. Ravenpaw groaned as he spotted Hawk among them. He knew instanly that he and Graystripe could not defeat nine cats, let alone BloodCan cats. He tried not to bristle as the BloodClan warriors circled around the three inturders. he pressed himslef close to Dawn's flank.

"I won't let them hurt you." he whispered to her protectivley. She looked into his eyes. Her own hazel ones were wide with fear. He licked her ear.

"Well, if it isn;t, Ravenstep." hissed Hawk mockingly.

"To you, the name is Ravenpaw." growled Ravenpaw bravley.

"And, what made you think you could escape us agian Ravenpaw? With friends at this?" Hawk laughed. He glanced at Dawn. "So rather, good looking friends at that."

"Keep away from her." snarled Ravenpaw. He pressed himslef close against Dawn. She was shaking.

"Well, aparently, that she-cat is taken Hawk. But not for long." said the leader, a black tom.

"I believe that is for me to decide." growled Dawn, trying not to shake her voice.

"And you." gasped one of the cats. "You're one of Firestar's lot."

At the mention of Firestar, some of the cats bristled and backed away.

"Yeah," said Ravenpaw, getting the feeling that these cats feared Firestar because he killed Scrouge. "He's Firetsar's deptuy."

"Well, deputy, you better be getting back to your puny friend. And I know just how! The only way you'll get to return is if you give me the forest!" Bone laughed. The other cats laughed with him. To their utter surprise, Ravenpaw and Graystripe also let out mrrows of laughter.

"You can have that piece of Twoleg junk." hissed Graystripe. "We've moved on. Over the mountains."

'Well, I'll to use my other bargain." laughed Bone.

Ravenpaw tensed at the way he kept glancing at Dawn.

"And what might that be?" growled Graystripe.

"Give me the she-cat, and I'l let you pass." Bone stated. "Or I'l kill all of you."

"Good one Bone!" laughed Hawk.

"Well Hawk, the question is which one of us will get to be her mate." laughed Bone.

"None of you will." snarled Ravenpaw. "To get to her, you'll have to get through me first."

"Well, an apprentice shouldn't be hard." weezed Hawk.

"I am NOT an apprentice." hissed Ravenpaw.

"Then show us what big boys do and give us the she-cat." Bone growled, stepping up to Ravenpaw's threat.

Ravenpaw glanced at Graystripe, who nodded. Dawn shook.

"Over our dead bodies." Ravenpaw meowed.

"No!" cried Dawn. she glanced up at Ravenpaw.

"Dawn, you cant want to join BloodClan?" gasped Ravenpaw.

"No, never. But I'd never stand it if they killed you." Dawn whimpered. She pressed her muzzle close to his flank.

"i promised you I woudn't let that happen." Ravenpaw whispered, licking her muzzle. "Trust me, if you join them, you'll never see me again. And if they kill me, you won't either."

"Be careful." Dawn whispered. "I love you, Ravenpaw."

"I love you too." Ravenpaw said. He nuzzled her lovingly. He than glanced back at Bone. "That's my final answer." he meowed shakingly. Dawn licked his muzzle.

"Fine than." Bone growled. "Good bye Ravenpaw!"

Bone and Hawk both leapt at Ravenpaw. Ravenpaw felt as though he was being ripped in two. He saw Dawn face, with tears streaming down it. He saw Graystripe trying with all his might to throw off three warriors.

Then, all the cats screamed. A large, blue-gray cat was walking through the group.

"Moon!" whispered Ravenpaw gratefully.

"Moon." gasped Bone. His voice shook with fear.

"Bone, my brother, I thought I told you not to attack my friends." stated Moon harshly.

"These are your friends? Smal forest eh?" chuckled Bone nervously.

"Get away from them, now." Moon growled. Bone didnt need tellnig twice, and backed away from Ravenpaw. The three other warriors lepat off of Graystripe.

"Go away." Moon added.

"Of course." Bone said intstantly, signaling for his warriors to surrendor.

"And Bone, this will be the last time that you disobey me." threatned Moon. Bone didn;t reply, but slipped into the forest, like a snake slithering under a stone.

Awh, the suspense! Review soon!
