CHAPTER 17
“Quick—the stepping-stones!” Firestar hissed1.
Alone, the ThunderClan cats could have raced easily out of danger, but none of them would abandon the prisoners. Graystripe fell back to join Ravenpaw as rearguard, while Firestar tried to urge on the RiverClan cats.
“You’ll have to leave us!” Mistyfoot gasped3. “There’s no sense in all of us being captured.”
“Never!” snarled4 Graystripe. “We’re all in this together.”
By now they were bounding alongside the river, the RiverClan cats stumbling in their efforts to keep up. Firestar could already see the ripples5 in the water where the current was broken by the stepping-stones. But the yowling behind them grew louder, and when he turned his head to draw in a rapid gulp7 of air he could taste the scent8 of ShadowClan.
“Great StarClan!” he whispered. “They’re catching9 up.”
None of the pursuing cats had appeared yet by the time they reached the stepping-stones. Firestar leaped onto the first stone, then the second, and gestured with his tail for Mistyfoot to follow.
“Hurry!” he urged.
Mistyfoot bent10 her hind6 legs and leaped, staggering as her paws hit the slippery surface, but managing to keep her balance. The two apprentices12 came next. Firestar stopped when he was halfway13 across and waited, the river water lapping his paws, while the other cats leaped out behind him.
