CHAPTER 22
The quarter moon had passed. Gray clouds hung heavy over the forest.
Jaypaw shivered, his pelt1 damp from the rain. “I’m going to my nest,” he mewed, nodding good night to Hollypaw and Lionpaw as they finished their evening meal beside the halfrock.
Hollypaw looked up. “Already?”
“I’m tired.”
“You want to get out of the rain, more like,” Lionpaw joked
Jaypaw growled2. It wasn’t the dampness that made him want to leave; Lionpaw had been going on about the battle against the dogs for days, and Jaypaw didn’t want to hear it all again tonight. He already guessed that Lionpaw had taken off his cobweb dressings3 early so he’d have some scars to show his Clanmates.
Jaypaw thrust his way crossly through the bramble entrance to the medicine den5. The only scars he’d ever get to show his Clanmates would be from falling down rabbit holes. Why couldn’t he do something realto help his Clan4, like Lionpaw? He had patched up his Clanmates after they’d driven the dogs away, but that wasn’t the same as fighting on behalf of his Clan.
“It sounds like it’s still raining,” Leafpool commented as he padded into the den.
“It’s not as heavy now,” Jaypaw told her.
“Well, at least there may be new herbs to gather by full moon,” she mewed hopefully.
Jaypaw wasn’t so sure. The air had been tinged7 all day with the raw scents9 of the mountains; he had a feeling that ice would claw the forest once more before newleaf brought fresh life. “Perhaps we should look for the first leaves tomorrow,” he suggested as he curled into his nest. Before frost has a chance to destroy them.
“Perhaps,” Leafpool murmured, already half-asleep. “But let’s not gather them too early, before they’ve had time to grow.”
