CHAPTER 6
The waning1 moon cast just enoughlight through the leafless branches to make the forest glow with eerie2 silver. Frost traced the outline of the dying ferns as Squirrelpaw padded through the trees beside Brambleclaw.
“But at least it’s clear,” Brambleclaw answered in a low voice. “Silverpelt will be shining.”
They were following Firestar and Cinderpelt through the forest. The pace was slower than the two younger cats had been used to on their long journey, but Cinderpelt was still struggling to keep up. Cold and hunger had made her limp worse than usual.
“If there is a sign,” Squirrelpaw wondered out loud, “how long do you think it’ll be before we go?” She wanted a chance to find her sister before the Clans6 left the forest.
“I don’t know,” Brambleclaw replied. “You saw what happened last night. Firestar can’t force the Clan5 to leave. He’s bound by the warrior7 code as much as any cat, and even though he’s our leader, he has to obey the will of the Clan.”
Squirrelpaw’s belly8 tightened9 as she remembered the Clan’s reaction. Beneath the stars, huddled10 against the icy wind that whipped the rock, Firestar had told them the message she and Brambleclaw had brought back from StarClan. A shocked cry had rippled11 around the gathered cats.
