Day of the Dawn

Chapter 7

After Icepaw's eye stopped bleeding, Dawnfeather brought her to Scarface's den.

"A-am I in trouble?" Icepaw asked fearfully.

"No," Dawnfeather ushered, "Scarstar just wants to know what happened to know how much to punish Skypaw."

"Are you sure I wont get in trouble?" she asked nerviously.

"Positive!" Dawnfeather remarked, "You did nothing wrong!"

Icepaw started to relax, but Dawnfeather could tell that she got nervous as soon as she saw Skypaw snarl at her.

"Quit that!" Sweetheart hissed, "What has gotten into you?"

"Tell me everything." Scarstar said with a frown.

"Well....I didn't see Skystar for a few days since we were appointed apprentices, so I went looking for her, and found her sneaking out." Icepaw explained as Skypaw glared at her, "Then I told Dawnfeather, and Dawnfeather told Thornpelt. When Thornpelt told Skypaw, Skypaw yelled at me and told me the only reason she was going out to find a Twoleg to take her in."

All the cats in the cats in the den stared at Skypaw in disbelief. Except Icepaw, who looked in worry.

"Why would you want to be a kittypet?!" Thornpelt hissed.

"Why do you think?!" Skypaw snarled, "With the Day of the Dawn coming, do you really think i'll survive?"

Thornpelt was about to speak, but was interrupted.

"There's no point wasting fresh-kill to raise a traitor," Scarface began, "If Skypaw wants to abandon her clan for safety, she can. But If she is seen in any territory, will be killed. That is her choice to make."

"I'm going." Skypaw said without resistance as her mother,Sweetheart, had a look of fear in her eyes.

Dawnfeather could see the sadness in Scarstar's eyes. As he had lost his grandchild.

"Then I shall have Dawnfeather escort you to your new home. But to this clan you will be known as Rain, because you ruined the sky." Scarface said with a snarl, "No go before I rip your fur off!"

Dawnfeather and Rain left the camp, as Dawnfeather saw Rain look back, only to see the disappointment in her mothers eyes.
