CHAPTER 18
The sun began to set forthe third time since Fireheart had almost drowned. The young warrior2 was washing himself outside his den3, scraping his tongue across his fur. He kept imagining that he could still taste the muddy water. As he twisted his head to wash his back, he heard the pad of approaching paws, and looked up to see Tigerclaw looming4 over him.
“Bluestar wants you to go to the Gathering5,” the deputy growled6. “Meet her outside her den—and bring Sandstorm and Graystripe.” He stalked away before Fireheart could reply.
Fireheart got up and stretched. Glancing around, he spotted8 Graystripe and Sandstorm eating beside the patch of nettles9, and hurried over to join them. “Bluestar has chosen us to go to the Gathering,” he announced.
Sandstorm finished off her blackbird and swiped a pink tongue around her jaws10. “But can we get to the Gathering?” she meowed, sounding puzzled. “I thought the stream was impossible to cross.”
“Bluestar said StarClan would be angry if we didn’t try,” Fireheart mewed. “She wants to talk to us now—maybe she has a plan.”
Graystripe spoke12 through a mouthful of vole. “I just hope she doesn’t expect us to swim.” In spite of his words, his eyes shone with excitement as he gulped13 the rest of the fresh-kill and sprang to his paws. Fireheart knew he must be looking forward to a chance to see Silverstream, and he wondered if they had managed to meet in the time since he and Graystripe had been caught crossing the river after their ill-fated hunting mission for RiverClan.
