CHAPTER13
As the sun sank into theforest, Fireheart waited beside the pine tree where Cinderpaw had buried her first lot of fresh-kill. He heard pawsteps and turned to see Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw padding toward him. Prey1 dangled2 from their mouths. Brackenpaw could barely hold his catch, it was so big. Fireheart felt a surge of relief. Even Tigerclaw couldn’t criticize the apprentices4’ efforts.
“I’ll help carry this lot back,” Fireheart offered, flicking5 away the covering of pine needles from Cinderpaw’s stash6. He dug it up, grasped the fresh-kill between his teeth, and set off back to the camp.
When they arrived in the camp clearing, some of the Clan7 cats were already taking their share of fresh-kill from the pile. Tigerclaw must have been looking out for their return, because he padded over to them as they dropped their catch near the rest.
“They caught all this themselves?” he asked, nudging the pile with a massive paw.
“Oh, yes,” Fireheart replied.
“Good,” meowed Tigerclaw. “Come and join me and Bluestar. Bring some fresh-kill for yourself; we’re already eating.”
Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw looked at Fireheart with admiring stares—it was a privilege to eat with the Clan leader and deputy. Fireheart didn’t share their excitement. He’d hoped that he would report to Bluestar alone. The last cat he wanted to share his meal with was Tigerclaw.
“By the way, have you seen Graystripe?” asked Tigerclaw. Fireheart felt a pang8 of concern as Tigerclaw continued: “He’s supposed to stay in camp while he has this cold, but I haven’t seen him since sunhigh.”
Fireheart shifted his paws. Had Graystripe gone off looking for peace and quiet again? “No,” he admitted. “Perhaps he’s with Yellowfang?”
“Perhaps,” echoed Tigerclaw, and padded away to where Bluestar was
