CHAPTER9
The full moon rippled1 on thesurface of the lake while clouds billowed on the horizon, gray against the blue-black sky.
Hollypaw shivered as she trekked2 around the shore to the Gathering3. A cold wind was ruffling4 her pelt5 the wrong way, tugging6 at her downy fur. She ducked between Squirrelflight and Brackenfur to hide from the chill.
“It’ll be warmer on the island,” Squirrelflight promised, flattening7 her ears against the breeze.
Spiderleg and Mousepaw padded ahead, Dustpelt, Brambleclaw, and Squirrelflight beside them, while Thornclaw kept pace with Whitewing, brushing close against her as though shielding her from the wind. Firestar and Sandstorm headed the party while Lionpaw trailed behind with Ashfur and Leafpool. As they followed the edge of the lake, small waves slapped the shore and farther out, foamy9 crests10 glowed in the moonlight.
“Get off there!” Brambleclaw’s impatient command rose above the wind.
Hollypaw slipped out from her sheltered spot to see who he was yowling at.
Berrypaw was padding along a log lying in the shallows. A gust11 of wind whipped in from the lake, flattening Hollypaw’s whiskers against her face. Through narrowed eyes she watched as Berrypaw lost his balance and fell with a splash into the water. He fought his way to his paws and, shaking the water from his creamy pelt, raced back up the shore to join his Clanmates.
