CHAPTER 13
“I said, what are you doinghere?”
Leafpaw felt her pelt1 bristle2 as she met Crowfeather’s furious glare. “I’ve come to help!” she hissed3. “Morningflower and Darkfoot are ill. I’ve brought herbs for them.”
“How do you know what’s wrong?” Crowfeather asked suspiciously.
“Because we’ve got the same problem in ThunderClan,” Leafpaw retorted. There was no need to tell him about Mothwing and the tainted5 water. She didn’t want to give the prickly WindClan warrior6 the smallest chance to accuse Mothwing of deliberately7 poisoning the elders.
“Back off, Crowfeather,” Whitetail mewed. “I asked Leafpaw to come.”
The dark gray warrior let out a snort of disgust; he didn’t say anything else, but he watched Leafpaw closely as she began to examine Morningflower. She found his presence thoroughly8 off-putting, but she couldn’t tell him to go away, not in his own camp.
Once she was sure that Morningflower was suffering from the same illness as Mousefur and the others, Leafpaw chewed a few mint leaves into a pulp9 and used her claws to part Morningflower’s jaws10. Pushing the pulp into her mouth, she stroked her throat to make her swallow.
Whitetail crouched11 close by. “Will she die?”
“I don’t know,” Leafpaw admitted. Silently she added a prayer to StarClan: Please let her get well.
