“Why didn’t you want me tobring Dovepaw?” Lionblaze sat down beside the wall. The abandoned Twoleg nest loomed1 above them, stark2 against the leafless forest.
“I didn’t want to scare her.” Jayfeather patted earth around his precious catmint, shoring up its delicate stems against the snow he knew would come too soon.
“She’s got to know sometime,” Lionblaze pointed3 out.
But not yet.
Jayfeather stiffened4.
Pawsteps.
He lifted his muzzle6 and tasted the air.
Lionblaze jerked around. “What is it?” His pelt7 was pricking9. “Oh, it’s just Sandstorm’s patrol.”
Bushes swished as Sandstorm and Cloudtail raced through the trees nearby. Squirrelflight and Spiderleg pelted11 after them.
“So what did you want to know?” Lionblaze swished his tail over the cold earth.
“Have you had any dreams about Tigerstar lately?”
“None.”
Jayfeather sighed.
“What’s on your mind?” Lionblaze kneaded the earth.
“He’s not just going to give up, is he?” Jayfeather sniffed12 at a patch of borage that he’d discovered growing wild beside the Twoleg wall. “Help me with this.” The biggest leaves had withered14, but he could scent15 new shoots near the base that he wanted to collect. They were good for treating fever. He parted the dying stems so that Lionblaze could see the young growth. “Can you pick those?” he asked, holding back the foliage16.
“Okay.” Lionblaze began to pluck out the shoots, making the air sharp with the scent of sap.
“So?” Lionblaze prompted. “Who do youthink Tigerstar’s visiting?”
“Definitely Breezepelt. Why else would he attack me?”
Lionblaze plucked another pawful of shoots. He was quiet but Jayfeather could sense his mind turning. Finally he spoke17.
“I thought I was special,” he murmured. “I thought that’s why he visited me. Because we were kin10 and he thought I’d make the best warrior18.”
“You arespecial,” Jayfeather insisted.
“But Tigerstar never believed in the prophecy.”
“No.”
“And we were never really kin,” Lionblaze pointed out. “He knew all along that Brambleclaw wasn’t our father.”
“Yes.”
Lionblaze sat back on his haunches. “So why did he visit me?”
Jayfeather let go of the stems and they swished back together. “Even without kinship or the prophecy, you’re one of our strongest warriors19,” he reasoned.
“Is that all he wants?” Lionblaze asked. “Strong warriors?”
“He clearly needs warriors to fight for him.” Jayfeather began to bank earth up around the broken stems to protect them. “He’s already using Breezepelt. And remember the ghost warrior who fought with Breezepelt? Tigerstar must have found allies in the Dark Forest.”
“Allies?” Lionblaze growled20.
“Not all cats go to StarClan,” Jayfeather reminded him. “But why is he doing this now?”
“He hates Firestar. All the Clans23 know it. What could be better than raising a force against him when he’s least expecting it?”
“I suppose.”
Lionblaze lapped at his chest. “Breezepelt seems like a strange choice for a recruit. He doesn’t have any kinship with Tigerstar.”
“But he does resent us because we are Crowfeather’s kits24.” Jayfeather pawed the shoots into a pile. “Tigerstar’s clever. He knows most warriors are too loyal to break the code. So he has to exploit weakness.”
“He couldn’t exploit me!”
Jayfeather felt a surge of affection for his brother. “Of course not. But he tried. Who knows who else he may be trying to influence?”
Lionblaze’s paws shifted. “So we have to work out which cats have weaknesses he might use?”
“Or kinship.” Jayfeather sensed Lionblaze stiffen5. “What is it?”
“That must be how he got to Tigerheart!” Lionblaze’s tail was flicking25 over the ground. “Do you remember me telling you the battle moves he used on the beavers26 were pure Tigerstar?”
“Of course!” Jayfeather’s belly27 tightened28. Things were beginning to make sense. “And I found him at the border that night WindClan brought Dovepaw home, remember?”
“So all those ShadowClan scents29 we’ve been finding could be Tigerheart, scouting30 out the border on Tigerstar’s command?”
“Right,” Jayfeather agreed. “Tigerheart’s an obvious choice, right down to his name. Which means we can pretty much assume that Tigerstar is exploiting both kinship and the weakness of other cats to recruit them to his side.”
A growl21 rumbled31 in Lionblaze’s throat. “How do we stop him?”
“We can’t, not yet. We’ll just have to be on our guard,” Jayfeather warned. “We can’t prove any of this, and no cat will admit their loyalty32 lies outside their own Clan22.”
“We could try to find out if more cats are being trained by him.”
Jayfeather gave the borage another sniff13. “Watch them at Gatherings,” he instructed. “See if any others cross our borders. I’ll find out what I can at the medicine cat Gathering33 tonight.”
“Okay,” Lionblaze agreed. “So far we know of one WindClan and one ShadowClan cat. What about RiverClan?”
Jayfeather narrowed his eyes thoughtfully. “Is there a RiverClan warrior who hates us as much as Breezepelt? One whose weakness Tigerstar could exploit?”
“I can’t think of one,” Lionblaze answered. “But…” His voice trailed away.
Jayfeather leaned forward. “What?”
“Tigerstar had a son, didn’t he?”
“Hawkfrost?” Jayfeather gasped34. He’d never seen him in StarClan. There was a good chance that he walked the Dark Forest with Tigerstar. “He lived in RiverClan. He’d know exactly which cats to approach.”
“So Tigerstar might not be the only cat training warriors in their dreams,” Lionblaze guessed.
Jayfeather shrugged35.
“Oh, great,” Lionblaze growled.
“Let’s head back to camp,” Jayfeather meowed. “I want to rest before the Gathering.”
He padded into the trees. The ferns stroked his pelt as he pushed his way through.
Lionblaze rustled36 behind him. “Will the herbs be okay?”
“I hope so.” Jayfeather sent a silent prayer to StarClan. “It’s good to know that I have fresh supplies.”
“You seem to enjoy looking after them.”
“Plants do what they’re told,” Jayfeather commented. “Unlike apprentices38.”
Lionblaze purred. “Have you thought about taking on an apprentice37?”
Jayfeather tensed. “Not while…” The words were hard to say. “Not while Leafpool is around.”
“Are you hoping she’ll be a medicine cat again?”
Jayfeather twitched39 one ear. “Maybe.” He wasn’t being sentimental40. “It just seems like a waste of training for her to turn her back on it. She knows so much, and sometimes I feel that I know so little. The Clan still needs her, Lionblaze. Maybe more than ever.”
“Jayfeather!” Sorreltail was calling from the clearing. “Littlecloud’s here.”
“Coming!” Jayfeather gave Briarlight a sniff. She was fast asleep in her nest. No smell of sickness. He hurried out of his den41. He could sense the fragile half-moon hanging over the hollow. The air smelled fresh with a tang of frost. Hard weather was on its way. He trotted42 across the clearing, finally sure of a route that wouldn’t trip or snag him.
“I thought you usually met the other medicine cats at the border when you go to the Moonpool,” Sorreltail whispered as Jayfeather passed.
“I think he wants to see the tree damage for himself.”
Littlecloud was standing44 just inside the thorn barrier. Jayfeather could sense the ShadowClan medicine cat’s shock as he stared around the camp.
“I’m amazed you lost only one cat,” Littlecloud commented as Jayfeather reached him. “How’s Briarpaw doing?”
“She’s Briarlight now.”
“Really?” Littlecloud sounded surprised, but Jayfeather didn’t comment as he followed the ShadowClan medicine cat out through the thorns. Flametail, Littlecloud’s apprentice, was waiting outside the tunnel.
Good. He was Tigerheart’s littermate. If any cat’s dreams held a clue to the warrior’s intentions, it would be Flametail’s
Unless Tigerstar was training him too.
A medicine cat? No way!
Jayfeather tried to push the thought away, but it clung to the back of his mind like a tick, making him wary45 of saying too much.
Littlecloud let Jayfeather take the lead as they headed for the WindClan border. They would meet the other cats there.
“So Firestar made her a warrior anyway?” Littlecloud pursued the news about Briarlight.
“She’s as brave as any warrior.” Jayfeather felt for Flametail’s reaction. How much interest was the young cat taking in their conversation?
“Has she had any sickness?” Flametail stuck his muzzle close to Jayfeather’s.
“None. We’ve kept her moving,” Jayfeather explained. “She does exercises every day and fetches her own food from the fresh-kill pile. It seems to be keeping her chest and belly working fine.”
“How are you keeping her spirits up?” Flametail asked.
Was he looking for a sign of weakness? “No need,” Jayfeather meowed. “She’s very positive.”
He was relieved as they padded from the trees and he scented46 Kestrelflight, Mothwing, and Willowshine waiting on the WindClan border. He pushed ahead, hurrying over the grass to meet them.
He leaped the stream in a practiced bound. “It’s cold,” he remarked in greeting. An icy wind was whipping off the moorland and ruffling47 every cat’s fur.
“Not once we get moving.” Kestrelflight was stamping his paws against the chill. The WindClan medicine cat began to lead the way upstream.
“Mothwing.” Jayfeather greeted the RiverClan medicine cat formally. He felt her cool gaze touch his pelt.
“Jayfeather.” There was an edge to her mew. Did she think he’d give away her secret? She was wrong if she did. What would he gain by telling the others she had no connection with StarClan?
“Hopefully the hollow will be sheltered from this wind,” Littlecloud grumbled48.
“You sound like an elder,” Kestrelflight teased.
Flametail joined in. “He almost is one.”
“Cheek!” Littlecloud pretended to sound offended, but there was warmth among the medicine cats as they trekked49 up the stream.
Any other moon, Jayfeather would have relished50 the lack of boundaries and suspicion. But tonight he was worried. The old trust he felt with his fellow medicine cats felt threatened by the ghost of Tigerstar. He walked behind the small group of cats as they followed the stream to the waterfall. As he concentrated on picking his way over the rocks, he felt the distance between them stretching.
“Do you want us to slow down?” Littlecloud called back.
“I’ll catch up,” Jayfeather replied, scrabbling between two boulders51. He wondered again if Tigerstar and his Dark Forest Clanmates would visit any of the medicine cats tonight.
Absurd!he told himself. But was it really? They were used to being visited by StarClan cats. Why not cats from the Dark Forest, the Place of No Stars?
Jayfeather skidded52 as he landed on a slippery rock.
“Careful.” He felt Littlecloud’s steadying paw. The ShadowClan tom had waited for him.
He paused as Jayfeather padded on a few steps, then fell in behind. “How’s Leafpool?”
Jayfeather detected worry in Littlecloud’s mew as he asked about his old friend.
“How is she managing as a warrior, I mean?” Littlecloud uttered the word as though he still didn’t quite believe she’d made the decision.
“She’s fine.” Jayfeather picked up his pace. Why did he have to explain her behavior?
“Doesn’t she miss it?”
Jayfeather turned on him. “No cat forced her to leave!” he snapped. But how could she remain a medicine cat after she’d broken the code?
Jayfeather pushed away the prick8 of sympathy plucking at his heart as they headed on; then Littlecloud spoke again.
“We all make mistakes,” he murmured. “Some have echoes that last forever.”
Flametail was already scrambling53 up the waterfall a few tail-lengths ahead. By the time Jayfeather had clawed his way to the top, the ShadowClan apprentice and Mothwing were already settled beside the Moonpool. Willowshine was still looking for a space.
Littlecloud padded down to join them.
“You were right, Littlecloud,” Kestrelflight called. “It ismore sheltered here.”
Jayfeather followed the paw prints spiraling down to the pool, dimples made over countless54 moons. He waited for the whispers that always called him to share with his ancestors, but heard only the wind whining55 above the rocks.
A desolate56 pang57 opened in his belly. No ancient pelts58 brushing his? No murmuring welcome? No half-familiar scents?
Were they angry he’d broken Rock’s stick?
I’m sorry!he wailed59 silently.
Mothwing’s breathing had already deepened into sleep by the time he settled beside the Moonpool. It would be pointless probing her dreams. If StarClan never visited her, it was hardly likely any cat from the Dark Forest would make it through her barrier of disbelief.
Flametail was most likely to hold clues about Tigerheart. But Littlecloud or Willowshine might betray fresh information. They might have their worries too. They may have seen a Clanmate acting60 strangely or have treated unexplained wounds.
Perhaps it was best simply to walk alone among his ancestors?
Jayfeather touched his nose to the cold, clear water and closed his eyes.
A world opened before him, green and lush. Warm breezes enfolded him and the smell of fresh prey61 touched his nose. Sunlight slanted62 through the trees as he padded through the long grass.
A familiar, matted pelt moved through the undergrowth ahead. Jayfeather recognized it at once. He broke into a trot43. He was about to call out when another cat jumped out from the long grass and greeted the shaggy StarClan warrior.
“Yellowfang!”
“Hi, Flametail!”
Jayfeather halted, pricking his ears.
“Runningnose wants to speak with you,” Yellowfang told Flametail.
I wonder what the old ShadowClan medicine cat has to say?
Jayfeather ducked into the ferns and began to shadow Flametail’s path through the trees.
“Don’t you ever learn?”
Jayfeather reared in surprise as Yellowfang landed a whisker ahead of him.
He bristled63. “He jumped into mydream!”
“And asked you to follow him?” Yellowfang’s amber64 gaze was sharp with rebuke65.
“You don’t know everything!” Jayfeather growled. He could see Flametail disappearing into the undergrowth.
“I know you need to trust him,” Yellowfang snapped back. “He’s a medicine cat.”
“Leafpoolwas a medicine cat.” Jayfeather snorted.
Yellowfang narrowed her eyes and Jayfeather tensed, waiting for the lecture. But no lecture came. Instead she looked thoughtful. “You said I don’t know everything,” she murmured. “Tell me, what don’t I know?”
“Where do I start?” Jayfeather huffed.
Yellowfang growled. “There’s no time for smart replies.” Her eyes darkened. “Several StarClan cats are troubled. Something bad is coming. This might be what the Three will be needed for.”
Jayfeather tensed. “Something bad? Do you know what it is?”
Yellowfang shook her head. “We were hoping you’d know.”
“All we know,” Jayfeather told her, “is that Tigerstar is training warriors from different Clans in their dreams. Hawkfrost might be working with him.”
Yellowfang’s eyes stretched. “Training them? Why?”
“The Dark Forest is rising.” Jayfeather heard the words fall from his lips. His heart quickened. “The Dark Forest is rising against us.”
“What do you mean?” Yellowfang’s fur was on end.
“Tigerstar is training cats to fight us. He’s already trained Breezepelt. I fought him by the Moonpool. But not just him. Another cat fought with him. A cat from the Dark Forest.”
“Who?” Yellowfang pressed her muzzle closer.
“I don’t know,” Jayfeather answered. “He was big and dark pelted. I didn’t recognize him.”
“You think he’s working with Tigerstar?”
“And Hawkfrost.” Jayfeather felt suddenly cold. “I don’t know how many there are. But they’re entering cats’ dreams—cats who have a grudge66 against us or who are kin to them. They’re training them to fight.”
“You suspect Flametail’s one of their recruits?” Yellowfang’s eyes flashed with horror. “He’s a medicine cat!”
“We don’t know who we can trust,” Jayfeather fretted67. “Tigerheart’s been crossing our border at night. And he might not be the only one. I promised Lionblaze I’d try to find out if there are others. Perhaps RiverClan cats. Kin of Hawkfrost.”
Yellowfang sat down, forcing her fur flat. “Then they were right to be worried.” She was muttering to herself.
“Whowas right?” Fear pricked68 in Jayfeather’s paws. “StarClan?” How could StarClan be worried? It was StarClan. Dread69 began to run like cold water along his spine70. “What should we do?”
Yellowfang looked into the distance, her grave amber gaze stretching far past Jayfeather.
“We must go to the Dark Forest.”
