CHAPTER 19
Leafpaw leaped across the stream bythe stepping stones and began to climb the hill toward the WindClan camp. Firestar had offered her an escort, but she didn’t think she needed one to visit WindClan. She’d thought of asking Sorreltail to go with her, but when she went to look for her friend she was sharing tongues with Brackenfur, and Leafpaw hadn’t wanted to disturb them.
The wind ruffled2 the short moorland grass, bringing with it a strong scent3 of rabbits and flattening4 Leafpaw’s fur against her sides. Even though she had slept for only a short time since coming back from the Moonpool, the news she carried sent energy surging through her like the water of the starlit stream.
She was nearly at the camp when she caught the scent of cats, and a patrol appeared from behind a gorse bush. It was Mudclaw and Webfoot with his apprentice5, Weaselpaw. Leafpaw tensed. All the Clans6 were extra-sensitive about their boundaries at the moment, and she hoped the WindClan cats would give her a chance to explain her mission before chasing her out.
“I have a message for Barkface.”
Mudclaw hesitated, then jerked his head. “Come on, then.” He led her over the top of the rise and down into the hollow.
Onewhisker was sitting under a bush near the center of the camp, sharing a tough-looking rabbit with Ashfoot. Leafpaw glanced around, looking for Crowfeather. Barkface wasn’t the only cat getting an important message from StarClan.
“Onewhisker, we have a visitor,” Mudclaw announced.
The WindClan leader stood up, swiping his tongue around his jaws8. “What can we do for you, Leafpaw?”
“I need to speak to Barkface,” she mewed.
