CHAPTER 16
Leafpaw stood at the edge ofthe clearing and watched the four Clans1 slip back and forth3, cautiously greeting old friends and looking for good places to sit. She wanted to ask Crowfeather how Morningflower was getting on, and if she had eaten the herbs Leafpaw had left for her. She knew he was here, because she had seen him with his Clanmates when ThunderClan and WindClan met beside the horseplace. But he had been padding along with his head down, as if he didn’t want to talk to her or any other cat. Now he had vanished. He couldn’t be more annoying if he tried!Leafpaw thought in frustration5.
“Leafpaw! Leafpaw, are you dreaming?”
A paw prodded6 her in the side. Leafpaw jumped as she realized that Cinderpelt was calling to her. At the same moment she spotted8 Crowfeather across the clearing.
“Sorry, Cinderpelt,” she murmured.
“I don’t know. Maybe.” Then she added more briskly, “Come on, let’s find somewhere to sit. The Gathering will start shortly.”
Leafpaw glanced at Crowfeather, wondering if she’d have a chance to speak with him first.
Cinderpelt’s gaze followed hers. “Take care where your affections fall, Leafpaw,” she warned quietly. “Remember that you are a medicine cat.”
“I doremember,” Leafpaw protested. “You don’t think I feel any affection for that bad-tempered11 furball, do you? Every time we see each other he tries to make trouble. I just wanted to know if Barkface had given Morningflower the rest of the water mint; that’s all.”
