CHAPTER 3
“Well?” Tigerclaw challenged.
“We thought we’d hunt.” Fireheart raised his head to hold the deputy’s amber1 gaze. “The Clan2 needs fresh-kill.”
“But we couldn’t find anything,” Graystripe added, coming to stand beside Fireheart.
“Was the prey3 all curled up in their nests, eh?” Tigerclaw hissed5. He padded forward until he stood nose to nose with Fireheart, sniffed6 him, and then did the same to Graystripe. “So how is it the pair of you smell of mouse?”
Fireheart exchanged a glance with Graystripe. It seemed a long time since they had hunted in the Twoleg barn, and he had forgotten that they might still be carrying the scent7 of the mice they ate.
Graystripe looked back at him helplessly, anxiety making his eyes wide.
“Bluestar should hear about this,” the deputy growled8. “Follow me.”
Fireheart and Graystripe had no choice but to obey. Tigerclaw led them across the clearing to Bluestar’s den10 at the foot of the Highrock. Beyond the curtain of lichen11 that covered the entrance, Fireheart could see the Clan leader curled up, apparently12 asleep, but as Tigerclaw shouldered his way into the den she raised her head at once and sat up.
“What is it, Tigerclaw?” she meowed, sounding puzzled.
“These two brave warriors13 have been out hunting.” Tigerclaw’s voice was thick with contempt. “They’re full-fed, but they haven’t brought home a single piece of fresh-kill for the Clan.”
