CHAPTER 7
“Bluestar, it’s been a quarter moonsince we returned from the uplands.” Fireheart carefully avoided mentioning the Moonstone. Even though they were alone in her den1, he still felt uncomfortable mentioning their fruitless expedition. “There’s been no sign of WindClan in our territory, or ShadowClan.” Bluestar narrowed her eyes disbelievingly but Fireheart pressed on. “There are so many apprentices3 in training, and the woods are so full of prey5, that it is hard to keep three warriors6 in camp all the time. I…I think two would be plenty.”
“If WindClan really intended to harm ThunderClan,” Fireheart pointed9 out, “Mudclaw wouldn’t have let you leave the uplands….” alive,he finished silently, letting his words trail away.
“Okay.” Bluestar nodded, her eyes clouded with an unreadable emotion. “Only two warriors need stay in camp.”
“Thanks, Bluestar.” This was going to make the task of organizing all the guards, hunting parties, and apprentice4 training much easier. “I’ll go and sort out tomorrow’s patrols.” Fireheart dipped his head respectfully and left the den.
Outside the warriors were waiting for him. “Whitestorm, you lead the dawn patrol,” Fireheart ordered. “Take Sandstorm and Ashpaw with you. Brackenfur, Dustpelt, you’ll guard the camp while I’m hunting with Cloudpaw.” He looked around at the remaining warriors, realizing how much more confident he felt about arranging the patrols. He’d had a lot of practice since Bluestar stayed in her den so much nowadays. Pushing away the unsettling thought, Fireheart went on: “I’ll leave it up to the rest of you whether you train your apprentices or take them hunting, but I want the fresh-kill pile as full as it is today. We’re getting used to eating well!” An amused purr ran through the group of warriors. “Darkstripe, you lead tomorrow’s sunhigh patrol. Runningwind, you take sunset. You can choose who you take with you; just be sure to let them know so they can be ready in time.”
