CHAPTER 4
At Firestar’s yowl of command, Brackenfurand the gray ShadowClan warrior2 broke apart. Graystripe looked up from the tabby, but still kept a paw firmly on his neck.
“Let him go,” Firestar ordered. “We’re not here to fight.”
“It’s hard to do anything else when they jump us like that,” Graystripe hissed3. He stepped back, and the skinny tabby scrambled5 to his paws and shook his ruffled6 fur.
Leafpaw bounded across the marshy7 ground to stand beside Cinderpelt, half afraid that Russetfur might still attack the medicine cat. ShadowClan’s deputy was not likely to take orders from the leader of a rival Clan1.
Russetfur flicked9 her tail toward the dark gray tom. “Cedarheart, get back to camp. Warn Blackstar that we have been invaded, and fetch more warriors10.”
The gray warrior streaked12 off into the bushes.
“There’s no need for that,” Firestar pointed13 out, keeping his voice mild. “We’re not invading your territory, and we’re not trying to steal prey14.”
“Then what doyou want?” Russetfur demanded bad-temperedly. “What are we supposed to think when you trespass15 on our territory?”
“I’m sorry about that.” Firestar leaped down from the tree trunk and padded across to her. “I . . . I know we shouldn’t be here. It’s just that I have to speak to Blackstar. Something has happened, something that’s too urgent to wait for the next
