CHAPTER8
Jaypaw stiffened1 at the sound ofscreeching from the entrance to the camp. He paused with one paw raised, a stem of watermint still snagged in his claws. “What’s that?” he meowed.
Leafpool didn’t reply. Thornclaw had come to see her, complaining about bellyache, and Jaypaw guessed she wouldn’t notice a whole herd4 of badgers5 trampling6 through the stone hollow until she had finished treating her patient.
“Jaypaw, where’s that watermint?” she called.
“Here.” Jaypaw grabbed up more of the stems and thrust them at his mentor7 as he darted8 past the bramble screen and into the main clearing. He could hear the rustling9 of leaves as warriors11 came out of their den12 and the swift pattering of paws as apprentices14 bounded up to see what was going on. Whispers of alarm came from every corner of the clearing, and from beneath the Highledge, Jaypaw detected powerful fear-scent15 from Hollypaw and Honeypaw.
Graystripe was speaking, his voice raised in a fierce growl16. “Not another paw step, until you tell us what you’re doing on our territory.”
Jaypaw’s fur began to bristle
