CHAPTER 29
The sky stayed gray and cloudyover the next few days, but the showers didn’t hamper1 the rebuilding of the camp. In fact Fireheart welcomed the cleansing2 rain that would wash the ash into the soil and help the forest to recover.
But this morning the sun shone high overhead, the clouds billowing away over the horizon. The sky will be clear for tonight’s Gathering3, Fireheart thought ruefully, wishing for once that the moon could be hidden so that the Gathering could not be held. Bluestar was still a long way from being her former self, emerging from her den4 only when Whitestorm persuaded her to come and see how the repairs were coming along. The ThunderClan leader had nodded blankly at the cats as they worked before limping back to the security of her nest. Fireheart wondered if she even remembered that the Gathering was tonight. Perhaps he should go and find out.
He padded around the edge of the clearing, feeling a ripple6 of pride at the work the Clan5 had done so far. The camp was already regaining7 some of its former shape. The trunk of the elders’ oak was blackened but still in one piece, although its maze8 of branches had burned away to nothing. The bramble nursery, which had been stripped of its protective leaves down to a tangle9 of stems, had been carefully patched with leafy twigs10 fetched from less damaged parts of the forest. And the camp wall had been shored up with the strongest branches the cats could find, although there was little they could do to replace the thick barrier of ferns that used to surround the camp. For that they would have to wait for the forest to grow again.
