CHAPTER19
“I’ll go first.”
Jaypaw hardly realized he had said the words out loud until he heard Breezepaw snort scornfully.
“You’re blind!”
“And you can see perfectly1 in the dark, I suppose!” Hollypaw snapped.
Jaypaw sensed Breezepaw bristle2, but the WindClan cat didn’t argue. He was glad, because he was on the verge4 of turning tail and fleeing back along the tunnel to the forest, where rain pattered on leaves and earth and didn’t collect in cold stone tunnels to sweep away everything inside them…. All he could think of ever since he set foot in the first tunnel was racing5 for his life, terrified, with Fallen Leaves. Images filled his mind: the dark tunnel, the roaring of the water, the shock as the wave hit him and swept him up like a leaf caught in a storm, gasping6 for air and finding only water to breathe.
Don’t think about it!At least this time there would be no glimmers7 of light to distract him; instead he could focus on his instincts.
Lionpaw stepped out of the way to let Jaypaw pass. As Jaypaw brushed past him, he felt relief flooding from his brother’s pelt8. He thinks I’ll do better in the dark than he will. I hope he’s right.Cold air blasted over him, making his whiskers tremble. But the breeze carried something else, whispers he felt rather than heard, flooding from deep inside the tunnel like the pulsing of blood in his veins9. He padded into the tunnel, feeling the darkness swallow him up. This wasn’t darkness he was used to. Blind in the forest, he could feel the warmth of the sun on his pelt, smell the fresh tangs that flavored the air, hear the wind that rustled10
