CHAPTER 13
Fireheart darted1 from one clump2 ofgorse to the next as he crossed the moor3 toward the WindClan camp. He ran with his belly5 brushing the turf, trying to stay out of sight and longing6 for the thick undergrowth of his own territory. The last time he had visited the camp, when ThunderClan helped WindClan in a battle against the other two Clans7, there had been no need to hide. Now he dared not show himself until he reached Tallstar, or at least met with one of the cats he could call his friends—if any of them were still friendly, after the recent disastrous8 Gathering9. WindClan patrols had attacked him on their territory before; they would be even more hostile now.
The scent10 of WindClan was all around him, but so far he hadn’t seen any cats. The sun had nearly finished crossing the sky. Fireheart tried not to think about that. He came close to panic when he remembered how little time was left before Bluestar would launch her attack.
He was crossing one of the shallow moorland streams, bounding from rock to rock, when a stronger scent of WindClan cats flooded over him, along with the scent of rabbit. Fireheart’s belly growled11 in complaint, but he had to ignore it. There was no way he could take WindClan’s prey13 now—and it smelled as if there was a hunting patrol not far behind anyway. Diving into a clump of bracken at the water’s edge, he peered out cautiously to spot the source of the scent.
