EPILOGUE
Squirrelpaw was trapped in a small,dark space that rocked violently from side to side. Her head spun1, and she swallowed the bile that rose in her stomach. Her paws scraped frantically2 on something smooth and solid. She let out a terrified yowl: “Leafpaw!”Then her eyes flew open and she found herself scrambling3 in a shallow dip in the ground.

Squirrelpaw heaved herself out of her nest and shook scraps9 of grass from her pelt5. “Nothing. It was just a dream.” She gave her chest fur a few licks to try to hide how shaken she was. Her sister was in terrible danger; she knew that the dream had taken her to wherever Leafpaw was, and shown her the terror she was feeling, but Squirrelpaw guessed that the practical Tawnypelt wouldn’t understand her fears.
Tawnypelt was looking faintly interested. “Was it a sign from StarClan?”
“No.” Squirrelpaw knew she could share some of the details of her dream, without telling Tawnypelt it had connected her with Leafpaw. “I . . . I felt like I was trapped somewhere dark. I didn’t know where I was, and I couldn’t escape.”
Awkwardly, Tawnypelt stepped forward and pressed her muzzle
