CHAPTER19
In the following days, Fireheart struggledagainst the urge to visit his sister. His yearning1 to be with his kittypet kin2 was beginning to make him feel uncomfortable. He kept himself busy hunting in the snowy forests, replenishing the camp store.
He had had a successful hunt this afternoon, returning to camp with two mice and a chaffinch as the sun dipped behind the trees. He buried the mice in the snow store and took the chaffinch for his own supper.
As he finished his meal, he noticed Whitestorm padding toward him. “I want you to take Sandpaw out on the dawn patrol,” the great white warrior4 meowed. “ShadowClan has been scented7 as close as the Owl8 Tree.”
“ShadowClan?” Fireheart echoed in alarm. Perhaps Tigerclaw really had found evidence of an invasion after all. “I was planning to take Brackenpaw out again tomorrow.”
“Isn’t Graystripe better now?” asked Whitestorm. “He can take Brackenpaw.”
Of course!thought Fireheart. And perhaps training his apprentice10 would keep Graystripe away from Silverstream for once. But that meant he would have to go on patrol with Sandpaw. And Fireheart couldn’t help thinking of the furious look Sandpaw had given him when he’d interrupted her fight with the RiverClan warrior beside the gorge11. “Just me and Sandpaw?” he asked.
Whitestorm looked at him in surprise. “Sandpaw’s almost a warrior, and you can take care of yourself,” he replied.
Whitestorm had misunderstood Fireheart’s concern. He wasn’t afraid of being attacked by enemy cats; he was afraid Sandpaw hated him as much as Dustpaw did. But Fireheart didn’t correct him. “Does Sandpaw know?”
“You can tell her,” meowed Whitestorm.
