Warriors: Black Dawn

Chapter 4

Dawnpaw's POV:

Dawnpaw opened her eyes to a strange world. It looked exactly like camp, except that the lighting was a bit vintage! It looked a lot like an old photo! Dawnpaw knew she was asleep and she was probably having a dream. She was in the medicine cat den, where a much younger version of Flamedrop was sorting herbs. Dawnpaw tried to call out, but no voice left her mouth! Her paws were also stuck to the ground!

Suddenly, a StarClan cat showed up! She was a beautiful, cream she-cat with a darker stripe going down her back. Dawnpaw's jaw dropped at how beautiful the beautiful she-cat's beauty was.

"Creamgrass," Flamedrop breathed.

"Flamedrop, there's not much time!" the she-cat yelled quietly. Her voice was very beautiful to match her outside beauty. "The clan is in danger!"

'The clan is in danger?' Dawnpaw thought to herself with a mix of fear and confusion.

"What do you mean?" Flamedrop asked, confused.

"Danger is coming. The black dawn must come and wash away the war of the night," Creamgrass meowed as she began to fade away.

'Hey, it's that prophecy I heard before!' Dawnpaw thought to herself. She tried to say something, but nothing came out!

"Wait, come back! What does it mean?" Flamedrop cried as Creamgrass's spirit turned to dust. Dawnpaw could only think about the prophecy and the she-cat who went by the name Creamgrass.

"Danger is coming. The black dawn must come and wash away the war of the night."

"Dawnpaw!" Dawnpaw opened her eyes and saw Tulippaw standing over her. "I've been calling your name for the last two minutes!"

"Sorry!" Dawnpaw meowed as she got to her paws.

"Blackstreak is waiting for you," the blue-gray tabby said before padding off. Dawnpaw licked a piece of fur sticking up and dashed out of the apprentice den. She saw a white tom with black markings sitting nearby, whom was talking to Brackenberry. It was Blackstreak! Dawnpaw rushed over.

"I'm awake!" Dawnpaw squeaked, causing the two to look at her with amusement.

"Well, I better go train Dawnpaw," Blackstreak said to his sister as he got to his paws.

"Goodbye," Brackenberry meowed before padding over to another group of cats.

"Come on, I want to show you another battle move," Blackstreak meowed as he padded off. Dawnpaw skipped after him. Dawnpaw could only think about the prophecy and the strange dream as the two walked through the forest.

'What does it mean!?' Dawnpaw thought to herself. 'And who's Creamgrass?' For some strange reason, Dawnpaw felt like there was some sort of connection between Creamgrass and another cat she knew. Then the she-cat glanced up at her mentor.

'Of course!' she thought to herself, 'Blackstreak must be connected to Creamgrass, he can give me some info!'

"Hey, Blackstreak," Dawnpaw meowed, causing her mentor to look at her.

"Yes, Dawnpaw?" the white tom said in a friendly tone.

"I just had a question about a cat I heard about and maybe you can tell me about them," Dawnpaw said.

"Sure, who is it?" Blackstreak asked.

"Her name is Creamgrass." This caused Blackstreak to freeze in his tracks.

"How- how do you know about her?" Blackstreak meowed, his face turning pale.

"I...um...heard Shortscar mentioning her," Dawnpaw lied. If she told Blackstreak about the dream, he would think she was crazy!
