Brambleclaw raced panic-stricken among the trees, bolting back and forth1 in a frantic2 effort to escape. Behind him he could hear the throaty bark of the dog that had leaped out from a thicket4 as he and his companions reached the wood. Glancing back, he saw the lean black shape crash through a clump5 of bracken, its tongue lolling. He could almost feel its sharp white teeth meeting in his pelt6.
“StarClan help us!” Feathertail gasped8 as she dashed beside him.
They had fallen behind the other cats, though Brambleclaw heard a yowl of terror coming from somewhere just ahead.
“Dodge!” he called. “Try to lose it!”
The dog barked again, and from farther off Brambleclaw heard a Twoleg shouting. He lost sight of his pursuer, and he slowed down as a wave of relief swept over him; the creature must have gone back to its Twoleg.
Then he heard the dog’s snuffling breath, and it shot out from behind a fallen tree trunk. For a heartbeat Brambleclaw stared into eyes like flames. Whirling around, he fled through 2 2 2

the trees as the barking started up again.
Confused by fear, he remembered how Firestar and the other cats of ThunderClan had led the dog pack through the forest until they fell into the gorge9 and drowned. But how could he and his friends lead this dog away, here in unknown territory?
“Climb trees!” he yowled, hoping his friends could hear him above the fierce barking that sounded louder than ever.
He glanced upward as he ran, but every tree seemed to have a smooth trunk with no low-growing branches. He could not stop and search; the beast would be on him at once.
Had it already caught one of the others? Was he about to find one of his companions terribly injured like Brightheart, or worse, dead?
