CHAPTER 5
The sun was going down, castinglong shadows across the clearing, by the time Fireheart went to look for Cinderpelt. He found the medicine cat in her den1, checking her supplies of healing herbs, and sat just outside the entrance to talk to her.
“Speckletail’s kit2?” she meowed when Fireheart had told her about Brackenfur’s suspicions. She narrowed her eyes thoughtfully. “Yes, I can see what he means. I’ll take a look.”
“You’ll have to be careful of Speckletail,” Fireheart warned her. “When I suggested she might let you check Snowkit, she practically bit my nose off.”
“I’m not surprised,” remarked Cinderpelt. “No queen wants to believe her kits4 aren’t perfect. I’ll deal with it, Fireheart; don’t worry. But not right away,” she added, patting her store of juniper berries into a neater pile. “It’s too late to disturb them tonight, and tomorrow I have to go to Highstones.”
“So soon?” Fireheart was surprised; he hadn’t realized how quickly the days were slipping by.
“Tomorrow night is the new moon. All the other medicine cats will be there too. StarClan will give me my full powers.” Cinderpelt hesitated and then added, “Yellowfang should have come with me, to present me to StarClan as a fully3 trained medicine cat. Now I’ll have to go through the ceremony without her.” Her eyes grew wide and remote as she spoke6. Fireheart felt that she was moving far away from him, into a land of shadows and dreams where he could not follow her
“You’ll need to take a warrior7 with you,” he meowed. “Last time Bluestar tried to go to Highstones, WindClan wouldn’t let her pass through their territory.”
Cinderpelt looked at him calmly. “I’d like to see the patrol that would dare to stop a medicine cat. StarClan would never forgive that.” Her expression changed and her eyes glinted
