Chapter 6
“Climb higher! Higher than that!”
“Great StarClan!” Ivypool muttered, digging her claws into the bark of the trunk. “I’l break my neck if I jump from this high up.”
She and the cats with her were so far up the tree that the trunk was starting to bend under their weight.
There wasn’t enough room for four cats to climb safely.
Ivypool risked a glance downward, peering through the gloom of the Dark Forest. She could hear the sounds of cats training al around her, until the noise of fighting almost drowned out the slimy rustling6 of the leaves. I wonder if Birchfall is here?
And how many other ThunderClan cats?
Below she could just make out Shredtail, who was in charge of the training exercise, sitting on the trunk of a fal en tree. Antpelt stood beside him. He had been Shredtail’s apprentice7 when he first came to the Dark Forest, but now he was a ful warrior8; it was he who was doing al the yowling.
“That mangepelt loves throwing his weight around,” Breezepelt hissed9, clinging to the trunk beside Ivypool. “Just because he died doesn’t make him more important!”
Hol owpaw of RiverClan was trying to balance on a thin branch just below Ivypool, his eyes shut tight as he let out a low moan of terror. His Clanmate Minnowtail scrambled10 past him and headed for the top of the tree, almost knocking Ivypool off her precarious11 perch12.
“Hey, watch it!” Ivypool growled13, envying the RiverClan cat’s light, strong body and confident movements.
“Minnowtail, you won!” Shredtail yowled from below. “You don’t have to jump. The rest of you, I want to see you jump now!”
Ivypool took a deep breath. I don’t have any choice . . . . Spotting a pile of dead leaves underneath14 the tree, she launched herself into the air.
Al the air was driven out of her body as she hit the ground, and before she could struggle to her paws Antpelt was on top of her, holding her down. His amber15 eyes glared into hers.
“Too slow, mouse-brain!”
Ivypool heaved at him, bringing up her hindpaws to batter16 at his bel y. “I can’t believe you’ve forgotten how I helped you,” she panted. “Thistleclaw wounded you so badly on the woodpile that you died, remember?”
“Who cares about the past? This is my Clan5 now!” Antpelt hissed, slashing17 his claws toward her throat.
“I deserve to be here.”
You do. Above her, Antpelt let out a furious yowl and snatched back his foot. Gathering19 al her strength, Ivypool shoved Antpelt off in time to see Minnowtail jump graceful20 y down from the tree and land in a clump21 of fern.
“Wel done,” Shredtail meowed as she emerged, looking smug. “It’s a pity more cats aren’t like you.” Swinging around to rake Ivypool, Breezepelt, and Hol owpaw with a glare, he continued, “Right. Time for battle training. I want to see the backflip we practiced last time.”
Ivypool paired up with Hol owpaw while Breezepelt and Minnowtail worked together. The RiverClan cat wasn’t the same nervous apprentice she had tried to help when he first came to the Dark Forest a moon ago. He had learned a lot since then, and his movements were strong and sure. Ivypool was shocked at the power behind his blows as he leaped on top of her, and shocked, too, at her own skil as she slid out from under him and raked her claws over his ears.
She was aware of how she and the others echoed one another’s moves with barely a pause, like a wel -
ordered patrol who had trained together since they were kitted. You would never think we come from different Clans22, she thought, dodging23 a blow from Hol owpaw and leaping in again to give him a swipe across the ear. Our fighting techniques fit together perfectly24. This is a force beyond anything the Clans have seen before. And I’m a part of it.
Ivypool was relieved when final y she heard Shredtail cal out, “That’s enough!”
“Did we do wel ?” Minnowtail mewed, springing up to let Breezepelt get to his paws.
“You’re not here for praise,” Shredtail growled.
“Leave that to your precious Clanmates. You’re here to fight. If you survive, count yourself lucky.” He flicked25 his tail dismissively. “Now get out of here.” Ivypool stumbled away into the shadowy trees, the other cats keeping pace with her. Breezepelt was limping, and Hol owpaw had oozing26 scratches from a blow she had given him. Even Minnowtail had fur missing from her hindquarters.
None of the cats spoke27 to one another. Ivypool spotted28 Blossomfal through the trees, heading in the same direction and looking equal y battered29. She knew that Blossomfal had seen her, but she looked too worn out to cal a greeting. Ivypool was aware of more cats padding around her, their heads lowered with exhaustion30 and their flanks heaving.
But we’ll all come back next time we close our eyes, Ivypool thought. The Dark Forest has us trapped like flies in a web.
A ful moon floated above the lake, turning its water to silver, as Firestar led his Clan out of the forest. Ivypool padded beside her sister. Even though she was bone tired, she was glad to be going to the Gathering.
I won’t have to go to the Dark Forest tonight, because I’ll be awake for too long.
As the cats fol owed Firestar along the lakeshore, Ivypool noticed that Dovewing kept shaking her head as if she had just emerged from water. She was letting out soft hisses31 of frustration32.
“Is your hearing stil not back?” Ivypool whispered.
Dovewing turned toward her, distress33 in her wide blue eyes. “No,” she replied. “It’s worse than being deaf! How am I supposed to look after the Clan?”
“Don’t worry,” Ivypool tried to reassure34 her. “There are warriors35 al around us.” Anger stabbed at her like a claw as she saw her sister was unconvinced. “But they don’t count, because they’re not part of the prophecy, right?” she added sarcastical y.
“You wouldn’t understand,” Dovewing snapped back at her.
“You think?” Ivypool hissed. “I don’t see you going to the Dark Forest every night!”
In her stress, she didn’t realize that her voice was rising, until she saw Brackenfur dropping back to walk beside them.
“Stop it, both of you,” he meowed. “You can at least present a united front at a Gathering. Do you want the other Clans to see ThunderClan warriors squabbling? Not to mention that StarClan wil be angry if you argue under the ful moon.” Ivypool gave a reluctant nod and Dovewing muttered, “Sorry.” Brackenfur gave them a hard look from narrowed green eyes, then quickened his pace again to rejoin Cloudtail.
StarClan! Ivypool thought. Sometimes I wonder if they have any power at all. Suppressing a shiver, she recal ed everything she had seen in the Dark Forest. I know what those cats can do. How will we ever fight back?
As Firestar led his Clan along the shore toward the tree-bridge, the RiverClan cats emerged from the shrubbery around the stream, with Mistystar at their head. For a few moments every cat mil ed around in confusion. Ivypool spotted a few hostile looks from the rival Clan.
We can’t fight over which Clan gets to cross the bridge first!
Then Mistystar stepped forward and dipped her head politely to Firestar. “Please, go ahead,” the RiverClan leader meowed, waving her tail for her Clan to retreat a few paces.
“Thank you,” Firestar replied.
He waited on the shore beside Mistystar while Brambleclaw led the ThunderClan cats across the treebridge. Ivypool was waiting her turn when she glanced across at the RiverClan cats and caught the gaze of Minnowtail. For a heartbeat she couldn’t look away, as if the memory of training together in the Dark Forest were a claw pinning her to the RiverClan warrior. Then Minnowtail turned her head aside, and the moment was past. Ivypool realized she was shivering.
“Are you crossing, or are you going to stand there al night?”
“Sorry.” Ivypool leaped onto the tree-bridge and ran across
There were no other cat scents38 in the air as she jumped down onto the pebbly39 shore of the island, meaning that ThunderClan was the first to arrive. The clearing seemed very quiet as Ivypool wriggled40 underneath the surrounding bushes and padded toward the Great Oak. Dovewing and Brackenfur, who had fol owed her, set their paws down careful y as if they didn’t want to break the silence.
Then a scamper41 of paws sounded from beyond the bushes and Ivypool jumped, startled, as excited squeals42 rose into the air.
“This way! I’l race you to the Great Oak!”
“I’l get there first! You couldn’t race a hedgehog!” Brackenfur let out a mrrow of amusement. “Our apprentices43 have arrived for their first Gathering.” Cherrypaw and Molepaw came squirming through the bushes, with Rosepetal right behind them.
“That’s enough,” she meowed. “Don’t even think of racing44 around the clearing. We have to wait for the leaders and listen quietly while they’re speaking.” She gestured with her tail. “Sit there.” The two apprentices obeyed her, but they were wriggling45 with excitement, exchanging bright-eyed glances as they gazed around.
“Wow! The Great Oak is big!” Cherrypaw exclaimed.
The rest of the ThunderClan cats emerged from the bushes, closely fol owed by RiverClan and WindClan. A few moments later ShadowClan joined them. As the clearing fil ed up and the different Clan scents mingled46, Ivypool crouched48 in the middle of her own Clanmates, not wanting to see the cats who were familiar to her from the Dark Forest.
I feel as if I half belong with them, she thought uncomfortably. But I’m betraying them already. I wish I could tell the other Clans exactly what’s going on. Maybe then we could make a plan to fight the Dark Forest from within.
Firestar was the first leader to jump into the branches of the Great Oak, fol owed by Onestar, Mistystar, and Blackstar. Brambleclaw and the other deputies took their places on the tree roots. The other cats grew quiet at once; Ivypool noticed that most of them had stayed with their own Clans, instead of mingling49 to exchange news as they usual y did.
Moonlight shone on her gray-blue fur. “I wil begin,” she announced. “RiverClan is prospering51. The dry weather hasn’t affected52 the water levels in the lake or the stream, so fishing is good.”
“Also,” Mistystar went on, “we have two new warriors. Mossypaw and Hol owpaw are now Mossyfoot and Hol owflight.”
“Mossyfoot! Hol owflight!”
Ivypool peered out from behind Lionblaze to see the two new warriors sitting with their heads high while the other cats cal ed out their names. She noticed that most of the cheers came from their own Clan; the others weren’t nearly as enthusiastic. When the yowling had died down, Mistystar dipped her head to the other leaders and sat on her branch, letting her tail hang down.
Firestar rose to his paws and advanced a couple of paces to the end of the branch where he had been sitting. “Prey is running wel in ThunderClan,” he reported. “Two days ago a fox appeared in our territory, but our warriors chased it off.” Ivypool breathed a sigh of relief that the Clan leader didn’t mention what she had done with the fox dung, which led to the fox entering ThunderClan in the first place. He hasn’t mentioned injuries, either.
He won’t want ThunderClan to seem weak.
“And we have two new apprentices,” Firestar went on, “Cherrypaw and Molepaw.”
The two young cats sat up straight, their eyes shining, as their Clanmates cal ed out their names.
Ivypool thought they were in serious danger of bursting with pride. But stil there were only a few cats from other Clans who acknowledged them.
Redwil ow of ShadowClan was eyeing the two apprentices thoughtful y, though he remained silent.
Paws off! Ivypool wanted to tel him. You’re not having them for the Dark Forest!
Firestar waited until the clearing was quiet, then began to step back. But before he could sit down again, Onestar leaped to his paws, rustling the oak leaves as he balanced on his branch.
“I noticed you haven’t mentioned the way your warriors hang around on the WindClan border,” he rasped. “Are you plotting an invasion?” Ivypool’s heart beat faster and she swal owed nervously54. Is this because Birchfall and I were caught washing in the stream?
Instantly Firestar took a pace forward so that he was facing the WindClan leader. His eyes blazed with green fire. “No!” he exclaimed. “You’re being ridiculous!”
“Ridiculous, am I?” Onestar hissed. “Then why have my warriors seen a ThunderClan cat scouting55 our territory?”
“Yes!” Crowfeather yowled from the clearing. He sprang to his paws with his gray-black fur bristling56.
“I’ve seen it!”
“So have I!” Whitetail agreed.
Ivypool realized that Lionblaze was stiffening57 beside her, clearly indignant about the false accusation58. She was just relieved that this didn’t seem to have anything to do with her and Birchfal .
“Can you identify this trespasser59?” Firestar inquired icily. He waved his tail toward the ThunderClan cats in the clearing. “Is that cat here tonight?”
“No,” Onestar replied. “My warriors never got a good look at the intruder, and the scent37 wasn’t clear.”
“Oh, really?” Firestar’s green eyes narrowed. “So you have no evidence that this was a ThunderClan cat? It could easily have been a passing loner—
unless it was a bit of mist or a skinny dog.”
“Yes,” Firestar agreed. “I would always defend my Clan against an unfounded accusation. Onestar, I think you’d better give us your Clan news and sit down, before you fal any further into the hole you’ve dug for yourself.”
There were murmurs61 of agreement from the cats in the clearing—and not only from ThunderClan, Ivypool realized. The WindClan cats were mostly looking embarrassed, except for a few like Crowfeather and Breezepelt, who were stil furious.
“WindClan has two new apprentices,” Onestar announced abruptly62. “Crouchpaw and Larkpaw.” He sat down.
This time only WindClan cal ed out the names of the two new apprentices. Ivypool felt sorry for the young cats. Their special moment has been spoiled because their leader is such a mouse-brain!
Firestar also sat down, waving his tail for Blackstar to speak.
“ShadowClan warriors fought a battle with the two kittypets at the Twoleg nest.” The big white cat lashed his tail with satisfaction. “We won’t be having any more trouble from them for a while.” There was a yowl of agreement from ShadowClan; Ivypool spotted Tawnypelt and Toadfoot with satisfied expressions on their faces, although Toadfoot’s eye was swol en from a nasty scratch, which suggested the kittypets had put up a decent fight.
“Also,” the ShadowClan leader went on, “we have three new warriors: Pinenose, Ferretclaw, and Starlingwing. ShadowClan is strong.” Blackfoot sat down as the cats in the clearing yowled approval of the new warriors. Ivypool couldn’t bring herself to join in. Strong? That sounded like a threat. Does that mean they’ll be causing more trouble?
As the Clan leaders came down from the Great Oak, the Clans at last began to mingle47 and share tongues before they left the island. Ivypool saw Tigerheart staring at her and Dovewing, and immediately looked away. Dovewing seemed to be ignoring the ShadowClan cat, too.
A heartbeat later, Ivypool noticed that Tigerheart had left his Clanmates and was heading toward Dovewing. Ivypool turned to warn her sister, but at that moment Hol owflight thrust himself between them.
“Hi, Ivypool,” he meowed.
“Hi. Congratulations on becoming a warrior,” Ivypool offered, trying to peer around the RiverClan cat to see what had happened to Dovewing.
“Hey, wasn’t that great climbing last night?” Oh, sure—you were scared out of your fur! Ivypool thought. “We can’t talk about it here,” she whispered.
Hol owflight didn’t take the hint. “It’s real y weird64, being in the Dark Forest,” he went on, though at least he had the sense to keep his voice to a low murmur.
“I mean, half of those cats are dead!”
“Yeah, weird,” Ivypool agreed, stil trying to watch for Dovewing and Tigerheart.
To her relief, she heard the voice of Reedwhisker, the RiverClan deputy. “Hey, Hol owflight! It’s time to go!”
“See you tomorrow night,” Hol owflight purred as he turned and pushed his way through the crowds of cats toward his Clanmate.
As soon as he had gone, Ivypool whirled around, looking for her sister. But there was no sign of Dovewing or Tigerheart. Have they gone off together somewhere?
Then she spotted Dovewing heading out of the clearing behind a group of ThunderClan cats. Ivypool hurried after her, creeping under the bushes and running down the shore to catch up to her as Dovewing waited to cross the tree-bridge.
“What did Tigerheart want?” she asked in a low voice.
Dovewing looked stressed, working her claws into the sandy ground. “It’s nothing,” she snapped. “He’s just trying to stir up trouble over Flametail.” A chil ran through Ivypool from ears to tail-tip. Has Tigerheart told Dovewing what he saw me doing in the Dark Forest? Her bel y heaved as she remembered the moment when Brokenstar had tried to make her kil Flametail when he wandered into the Dark Forest from StarClan.
“What sort of trouble?” she pressed Dovewing, unable to bear the uncertainty65. “You know, you can’t believe everything Tigerheart says.”
“Too right!” Dovewing burst out loudly, then lowered her voice again with a swift glance around to see if any warrior was listening. “He’s trying to make me believe that Dawnpelt has a grudge66 against Jayfeather because he didn’t save Flametail. She thinks Jayfeather murdered him.
According to Tigerheart, Dawnpelt is planning something real y bad for ThunderClan.” She twitched67 her whiskers. “Does he think that’s going to scare me?”
Ivypool relaxed, trying not to let her sister see how relieved she was. “Maybe you should tel Brambleclaw,” she suggested. “He might want to put extra cats on ShadowClan border patrols.”
“And get into trouble for talking to Tigerheart?” Dovewing responded. “I don’t think so.” She leaped up onto the end of the tree-bridge and looked down at Ivypool. “Honestly, what damage can Dawnpelt do? It’s al a lie, and she knows it.”
