CHAPTER 11
Firestar emerged from the forest near Sunningrocks and paused to taste the air. The sun was rising behind him, sending long shadows from the forest toward the river. Several days had passed since Darkstripe had left ThunderClan, and so far the patrols had not brought any news of him, nor of ShadowClan cats in the territory. But the memory of Firestar’s dream was still too sharp for him to believe that the threat from the territory beyond the Thunderpath was over.
Graystripe and Thornclaw padded out of the trees behind him. “Smell anything?” Graystripe asked.
Firestar shrugged2. “Only RiverClan cats. No more than I’d expect, this close to the border. But I want to make sure that they haven’t been near Sunningrocks.”
“We’ll renew the scent3 markings,” meowed Graystripe. “Come on, Thornclaw.”
While his friends disappeared into the gullies among the rocks, Firestar remained where he was, carefully drawing the air over his scent glands4. Though he was worried about ShadowClan, he had not forgotten RiverClan or their ambitious leader, Leopardstar. She had tried to retake Sunning-rocks not long before, and Firestar would not be surprised if she decided5 to try again.
Not many moments passed before he detected fresh RiverClan scent. Instantly suspicious, he padded around the base of the rocks, only to relax a few moments later as he caught sight of Mistyfoot. She was alone, crouched6 at the very edge of the river, and as Firestar watched she scooped7 a fish out of the water and killed it with one blow of her paw.
“Well done!” Firestar called.
Mistyfoot turned, saw him, and padded up the gently sloping bank as far as the border. Firestar went to meet her there, glad to see that she still looked friendly in spite of the way she had left the ThunderClan camp. But he noticed with alarm that Mistyfoot was much thinner than when he had last seen her, and he wondered if something bad had happened following the revelation that Bluestar had been her mother.
“How are you, Mistyfoot?” he meowed. “I hope there hasn’t been any trouble.”
