CHAPTER10
Every hair on Lionpaw’s pelt1 prickledwith excitement. The moment he’d longed for had come—the chance to go to the mountains! Four ThunderClan cats wouldn’t be enough to deal with the invaders3, not if they were as strong as Stormfur and Talon4 said. Surely StarClan had arranged this, so that he could go visit the Tribe and find out about them, and show them how real warriors6 lived.
His claws scratched the earth floor of the hollow as the walls loomed7 overhead, closing him in. He had never felt so confined before. The weight of stone seemed to press on his fur. He wanted to race up the nearest cliff and run through the forest, across the hills, all the way to the mountains, with the wind in his fur.
“Calm down,” Jaypaw mewed. “They’re hardly going to take apprentices9 along!”
Lionpaw rolled his eyes. “Jaypaw, I wish you wouldn’t keep reading my mind.”
“You mean youwant to go to the mountains?” Hollypaw asked.
“They’ll need more cats,” Lionpaw pointed11 out, ready to defend himself. “Four’s not enough. But Jaypaw’s probably right,” he added, his excitement fading as he realized that what the Tribe needed was help from experienced warriors. “They won’t take apprentices.”
“Hollypaw wants to go, and so do I,” Jaypaw announced unexpectedly. “Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight are going, so why shouldn’t we see if we can go too? Even if they say no, they can’t claw us just for asking.”
“You really want to go?” Lionpaw meowed to Hollypaw.
She bounced to her paws, her tail fluffed out and her whiskers quivering. “I want to find out how the Tribe cats live. I’ve never met cats who are different from us. We could learn a lot.”
Jaypaw murmured agreement, though he said nothing about his own reasons for wanting to go. But that was Jaypaw, Lionpaw reflected; he always buried his thoughts deeper than hidden
