CHAPTER7
“I’ve got a plan,” Hollypaw announced.She and Cinderpaw had cleared the old bedding out of the elders’ den1 and were clawing fresh moss2 from around the roots of an oak tree. Shreds3 of mist drifted among the trees, while overhead the sun was struggling to break through a covering of cloud.
Cinderpaw stopped with her claws deep in the soft green covering. “What plan?”
“It’s about becoming a warrior5.” Hollypaw left the ball of moss she was gathering6 and padded over to sit on a twisted root beside her friend. “It’s so confusing, learning about fighting and hunting and all the stuff about the warrior code. I can’t think of everything at once, so I’m going to concentrate on one thing at a time.”
Cinderpaw blinked. “I don’t get it.”
Hollypaw sighed; it seemed straightforward7 enough to her. “I’m going to start with hunting. If a Clan8 isn’t well fed, it can’t defend its borders and fight battles. I’ll practice and practice until I’m really good at it. Then I’ll go on to something else.”
Her friend started clawing up the moss again. “I think that sounds mouse-brained,” she mewed. “I mean, you can’t stop doing everything else, can you? Are you going to leave me to finish the bedding while you go off looking for prey9?”
Hollypaw swiped out a paw, claws sheathed11, just missing Cinderpaw’s ear. “No, of course I’m not. I know I’ll have to do duties and training sessions and all that. But I’m going to concentrateon hunting.”
Cinderpaw let out a faint snort of amusement. “I’d like to hear what Brackenfur has to say if he thinks you’re not concentratingon fighting.”
