CHAPTER 20
“Will she live?” Fireheart asked anxiously.
Cinderpelt let out a weary sigh. She had come to Snakerocks as fast as her uneven2 legs could run and done her best to patch up the worst of Brightpaw’s injuries with cobwebs to stop the bleeding and poppy seeds for the pain. At last the apprentice3 had recovered enough to be dragged back through the forest to the camp, and now she lay unconscious in a nest among the ferns near Cinderpelt’s den4.
“I don’t know,” Cinderpelt admitted. “I’ve done the best I can. She’s in the paws of StarClan now.”
“She’s a strong cat,” Fireheart meowed, trying to reassure6 himself. When he looked at Brightpaw now, curled among the ferns, she looked anything but strong. She seemed smaller than a kit7, no more than a scrap8 of fur. Fireheart half expected each shallow breath to be her last.
“Even if she recovers, she’ll be hideously9 scarred,” Cinderpelt warned him. “I couldn’t save her ear or eye. I don’t know that she’ll ever be a warrior10.”
Fireheart nodded. He felt sick as he forced himself to look at the side of Brightpaw’s face, now swathed in cobwebs. All this reminded him of Cinderpelt’s accident, when Yellowfang had told him that the young she-cat’s leg would never heal properly.
“She said something about the ‘pack,’” he murmured. “I wonder what it was she really saw.”
Cinderpelt shook her head. “It’s what we’ve been afraid of all along. There’s something in the forest hunting us down. I heard it in my dream.”
“I know.” Fireheart’s muscles tensed with regret. “I should have done something long ago. StarClan sent that warning to Bluestar too.”
