CHAPTER 13
It was a cold, gray morning. Fireheartdragged himself reluctantly out of his warm nest, and padded over to nudge Graystripe.
“Wha…?” Graystripe twitched1 and settled down again with his tail wrapped over his nose. “Go away, Fireheart.”
Fireheart lowered his head and butted2 the broad gray shoulder. “Come on, Graystripe,” he whispered into his friend’s ear. “We’ve got to hunt for RiverClan.”
At that, Graystripe levered himself upright and parted his jaws4 in an enormous yawn. Fireheart felt just as tired as his friend; supplying RiverClan with fresh-kill as well as keeping up with their duties in ThunderClan was taking up all their time and energy. They had crossed the river with prey6 several times, and so far their luck had held. No ThunderClan cat had found out what they were doing.
Stretching, Fireheart glanced cautiously around the den7. Most of the warriors8 were curled among the moss10, too sound asleep to ask awkward questions. Tigerclaw was just a mound11 of dark tabby fur in his nest.
Fireheart slipped out between the branches of the den. At first he thought that all the other cats were asleep; then he saw Brindleface appear at the entrance to the nursery and lift her face to sniff12 the air. As if she didn’t like the raw, damp wind that greeted her, she retreated almost at once.
Fireheart looked back at Graystripe, who was shaking scraps13 of moss off his coat. “Okay,” he meowed. “We can go now.”
The two cats bounded across the clearing toward the gorse tunnel. Just as they reached it, a familiar voice behind them called out, “Fireheart! Fireheart!”
