"Dawnstripe! Dawnstripe"

Emberstar rushed around hurriedly.

Larkbeak stared out of theden.

"What is it, Emberstar?"

Emberstar stared, looking nervous.

"Ughhhhhhh..."

"Yes! it must have been Sicklypaw! I told you about him, but you didn't listen! Now do you understand the consequences, you blind fool? I will tell you-"

"Larkbeak!" Emberstar snapped "Do not talk that way about your kits! I have told you time and time again, they are-"

Brightspirit burst into the den. "Emberstar, we found Dawnstripe. She's... I don't think she's breathing."

Emberstar hurriedly ran, following Brightspirit.


Snowblossom was furiously working, concocting a mixture for only for the desperate of measures. Beside her, her apprentice was breathing heavily. When she exhaled, purple mist floated out of her mouth, and her body and apprentice-sized claw marks.

The claw marks were deep.

Dawnstripe's eyes opened suddenly. she jumped to her feet and looked around nervously. terrified.

"Dawnstripe, you're alright now." Brightspirit addressed her, moving cautiously forward towards the apprentice medicine cat.

Dawnstripe was wide-eyed, like she was afraid something-someone- would attack her and drag her away.

"No, No. You don't understand."

"Come back to camp" said Brightspirit. "You need rest"

"She came after me. attacked me. We're not safe. No one is!"

"Who attacked you? who did this?"

"It was... this cat."

"Go on,"

"Her voice was thick and warm, honeyed. but she was terrible." Dawnstripe crouched down, her fur raised up high.

"Do you know her name?"

"She said she would've killed me, but she needed a message delivered."

"What is it?"

"She said no one- No one- is safe from her.

No one is safe from Venomscreech."
