Dawn (book)/Chapter 5

==Chapter description==
:Mistyfoot calls for Sasha, and Leafpaw peeks her head out, thinking about Sasha and the gossip she's heard about her. She spots Sasha in the Twoleg cage, and Cody advises her to let Sasha recover. Sasha revokes this and speaks of her purpose in the forest. After finding out she wants to visit her kits Hawkfrost and Mothwing, Leafpaw elaborates on where Mothwing was. The medicine cat apprentice tells the rogue that Mothwing was now a medicine cat apprentice but decides not to tell Sasha about Hawkfrost. Leafpaw is confused as to why Sasha would be so worried about the kits she gave up while Cody asks why Sasha isn't a Clan cat as she expresses her anger that the Clans called her a rogue.
:Sasha points out that she inferred Cody was a kittypet, and Mistyfoot tells her that the den is mostly comprised of rogues except for a few Clan cats: herself, Leafpaw, Gorsetail, Brightheart, and Cloudtail. They explain to Sasha that they haven't been able to escape. Leafpaw mentions that StarClan hasn't helped them, so Sasha sneers that she couldn't believe Clan cats still believed in a bunch of dead cats. She then asks Leafpaw to pray for them.
:After sunhigh, a Twoleg gives the cats food. Cody begins to cuddle up to the Twoleg with Leafpaw remarking that what Cody was doing won't help. Below them, the ThunderClan she-cat hears a screech coming from Coal's cage. She looks down to see Coal in a skirmish with a Twoleg.
:The Twoleg leaves, so Leafpaw asks Coal where he is hurt, and he replies that he cut his leg. Leafpaw asks for cobwebs, and Gorsetail replies that he can see some. He manages to grab some, bringing it up to Leafpaw's cage. The medicine cat apprentice hands the cobweb to Cody, who passes it on to Coal. Coal remarks that he cannot stop bleeding. Leafpaw instructs the black tom to hold the cobweb to the wound. Later, Coal says that the bleeding stopped. Glad that she could help, Leafpaw tries to keep her strength up by eating the Twoleg pellets, although she heavily dislikes the taste.
:All the cats come to the conclusion that the workfolk want to get rid of them. Leafpaw thinks that it is pointless to dream for StarClan because they could not help them. She comes up with an idea, asking all the cats if they can reach their paws outside of their cages and undo the latch. None of them can, and Sasha tells them all that they're wasting their time. Persevering, the ThunderClan medicine cat apprentice begins to claw at the lock attached to her cage.
