CHAPTER 11
“Cinderpelt! What are you doing here?” Fireheart spun2 around to face the medicine cat. “Did you know about this?”
A pile of herbs lay between Cinderpelt’s paws. She lifted her chin defiantly3. “They needed my help. There was nothing for them in their camp but sickness.”
“So they came straight back!” Fireheart glared at her angrily. “Where did you find them?”
“Near Sunningrocks. I smelled their sickness when I was out collecting herbs yesterday. They were looking for a safe place to hide,” explained Cinderpelt.
“And you brought them here.” Fireheart snorted. “They probably only came back onto our land because they knew you’d take pity on them.” Cinderpelt’s concern for the ShadowClan cats had been obvious when they were in the ThunderClan camp. “Did you think you could treat them without any cat finding out?” Fireheart demanded. He couldn’t believe that Cinderpelt had exposed herself—and the rest of the Clan4—to such a risk.
Cinderpelt met his eyes, undaunted. “Don’t pretend you’re really angry with me. You felt just as sorry for them,” she reminded him. “You couldn’t have turned them away a second time either!”
Fireheart could see that she believed she had done the right thing, and he had to admit the truth in her words—he couldn’t deny he felt sorry for the sick cats, and had felt uncomfortable with Bluestar’s lack of compassion6. “Does Yellowfang know?” he asked, his anger fading.
“No, I don’t think so,” answered Cinderpelt.
“How sick are they?”
“They’re starting to recover.” Cinderpelt allowed a hint of satisfaction to enter her voice.
“I still smell sickness,” Fireheart meowed suspiciously.
“Well, they’re not completely cured yet. But they will be.”
Littlecloud’s voice rasped from the shadows behind him. “We’re getting better, thanks to Cinderpelt.”
Fireheart could hear that Littlecloud’s voice was already stronger than it had been in the ThunderClan camp, and the young warrior’s eyes shone brightly in the gloom. “They do sound better,” he admitted, turning back to the young medicine cat. “How did you do it? Yellowfang seemed to think this sickness was deadly.”
