DawnFeather strode towards the fresh-kill pile as she had gotten back from a hunting patrol. As she sat by Ravenwing, she thought about what Starclan has told the forest about the Day of the Dawn, the day after the first gathering of the year.


"We are going to battle, but where? With who?" she whispered to herself, "We have to be ready, or we wont survive...." Ravenwing asked what was wrong, but Dawnfeather wouldn't reply.


"I wouldn't worry if I were you, we will be ready. I promise! We can help Moonlight gather some more herbs after we finish eating, and Scarstar is a great leader and is an amazing fighter, whoever we are fighting doesn't have a chance against him!" Ravenfur said encouragingly.


"You're right!" Dawnfeather finally agreed, "We have to focus about getting ready more than worrying about the battle ahead, lets go."

As they left the camp with Moonlight they were talking away like there were no worries. they luckily found a plentiful of herbs and even had to come back for some, but on their way back from getting the last patch of herbs, they saw some kits trying to pick a fight with rouges. Dawnfeather and Ravenwing rushed over and snatched up the kits before the rouges notice them, and they sure got a scolding from Moonlight,


"What do you think you're doing?! You mouse-brains could've gotten yourselves killed! This clan has enough problems without you two sneaking out of the camp!"


The kits whined back "But we were just-"


"I've heard enough from you two! You can explain to Scarstar!" MoonLight interrupted.


When they returned to camp, Moonlight took the two kit to Scarstar

to explain what happened while Dawnfeather and Ravenwing decided to go on a border patrol. When leaving the camp they noticed Fawnkit's and Tigerkit's mother rushing over to them.


"Haha, kits, they just wanna grow up!" laughed Ravenwing.


"Hey," DawnFeather replied, "I wouldn't mind being a kit for a few moons!"


"Let's go on a patrol! I'm pretty bored and not hungry yet! Plus Sunningrocks hasn't been patrolled in awhile." said Ravenwing cheerfully.


"Sure, but let's have Birchfoot and Cloudstripe come with us!" responded Dawnfeather.


The four of them set out to patrol Sunningrocks but when arrived, found a stomach queasing surprise. Their eyes widened as they found 11 pairs of Riverclan eyes glaring at them, ready to battle.
