CHAPTER 24
“No! Help them!” A wail1 ofsorrow and fear broke from Leafpaw. She opened her eyes with a jump and saw that she was in her nest outside Cinderpelt’s den2. The morning sunlight was pale and cold. The rumble3 of monsters from her nightmare had reached the camp in the waking world, too, and their stench hung in the air.
Shuddering4, Leafpaw curled deeper into the moss5, trying to find comfort in its warmth while the last wisps of her dream hung in her mind like mist. She had been standing6 near the Thunderpath, watching the Twoleg monsters as they roared through the forest, crushing cats under their huge black paws. Blood had run like a river across the forest floor. Spottedleaf had stood beside her, and Leafpaw had turned to her with a desperate plea. “Save them! Please! Why don’t you save them?”
Spottedleaf’s eyes had rested sadly on Leafpaw’s dying friends. “There is nothing more StarClan can do to help,” she murmured. “I’m so sorry.”
Then she had faded away, and Leafpaw had woken up.
She rose to her paws, staggering, and padded across to Cinderpelt’s den. The medicine cat was not there; Leafpaw could see an empty heap of bedding at the back of the cleft8 and wondered if some emergency had called her away, and whether there was yet another disaster they would have to face. A whimper rose at the back of her throat, and she firmly closed her jaws9 on it. Whatever fate was coming, even if their warrior10 ancestors were helpless, she would go on helping11 her
