CHAPTER 28
With a tender lick, Fireheart closedthe medicine cat’s eyes for the last time. Then he lowered his head onto her shoulder and felt the warmth fade from her body.
He didn’t know how long he lay there, listening to his heart beating alone in the shadowy cavern1. He thought for a moment he caught the familiar scent2 of Spottedleaf, drifting into the den3 on the rain-chilled breeze. Had she come to guide Yellowfang to StarClan? Fireheart let the soothing5 thought flow through him and felt sleep swell6 like clouds at the edges of his mind.
“She will be safe with us.” Spottedleaf’s gentle mew ruffled7 his ear fur, and Fireheart lifted his head and looked around.
“Fireheart?” Graystripe called from the entrance. Fireheart struggled to sit up.
“I’ve buried Halftail,” the gray warrior8 meowed.
“Yellowfang’s dead,” Fireheart whispered. His hollow mew echoed off the stone walls. “She was alive when I found her, but she died.”
“Did she say anything?”
Fireheart closed his eyes. He would never share Yellowfang’stragic secret with any cat, not even his oldest friend. “Just that…she was thankful Bluestar let her live in ThunderClan.”
Graystripe padded into the cave and bent9 his head to lick the old medicine cat’s cheek. “When I left, I never thought I wouldn’t speak to her again,” he murmured, his voice thick with sorrow. “Shall we bury her?”
“No,” Fireheart meowed firmly, his mind suddenly clear. Spottedleaf’s words echoed in his mind: She’ll be safe with us.“She was a warrior as well as a medicine cat. She will have her vigil and we can bury her at dawn.”
