CHAPTER 14
“Firestar,” meowed Graystripe. “I want to ask you something.”
Firestar was crouching2 by the nettle3 patch. He had just seen Brackenfur leaving at the head of the evening patrol, and now he was eating his share of fresh-kill before rounding up a patrol of his own for an extra check on the ShadowClan border.
“Sure,” he replied. “What is it?”
Graystripe crouched5 beside him, but before he could speak Tawnypaw came stalking out of the elders’ den6, her head and her tail held high as she headed for the gorse tunnel. Her amber7 eyes blazed with anger. Bramblepaw emerged behind her, his jaws8 clamped on a bundle of bedding moss9. He looked worried.
“Tawnypaw!” Firestar called. “What’s the matter?”
For a heartbeat he thought the apprentice10 was going to ignore him. Then she veered11 sharply to stand in front of him. “Smallear!” she spat12. “If ever a cat asked to have his fur clawed off—”
“You shouldn’t talk like that about an elder,” Firestar rebuked13 her. “Smallear’s given good service to the Clan4 and we should respect that.”
“What about a bit of respect for me?” Tawnypaw was so furious she seemed to have forgotten she was talking to her leader. “Just because I was a little late going to clear out the old bedding, Smallear said that Tigerstar had never wanted to serve the elders either, and he could see I was going to turn out just like my father.” She scraped her claws on the sandy floor of the clearing as if she were picturing the old tom’s fur. “It’s not the first time he’s said things, either. I don’t see why I should have to put up with it!”
