CHAPTER11
Wind whipped through Lionpaw’s pelt1 ashe raced toward the ShadowClan border. He couldn’t think of anywhere he would rather be than running beside his father, with an important mission ahead and the chance to prove himself. He was proud of how he kept up with Brambleclaw; he wasn’t as big, but his legs were nearly as long.
“Watch out,” Brambleclaw warned. “Fallen tree ahead.”
Lionpaw had already spotted3 it, a beech4 with smooth gray bark, brought down in the storms of the previous leaf-bare. A few dead leaves still clung to its branches, rustling5 in the breeze. Brambleclaw skirted the roots, but Lionpaw sprang upward, scrabbling with his hind6 paws to drag himself on top of the trunk, and pushed his way through the branches until he could leap down on the other side.
He wanted to show Brambleclaw just how fast and powerful he could be, so when a small stream crossed their path he gathered his muscles for an enormous leap and launched himself across the water. His paws stretched for a smooth flat stone on the opposite side, but just before he landed a blackbird erupted from a hazel bush just ahead, giving a raucous7 alarm call.
Startled, Lionpaw landed awkwardly; his hind paws slipped and cold water surged over his haunches and his tail. “Mouse dung!” he spat8, his claws scoring the stone as he dragged himself out.
Brambleclaw was waiting for him on the bank, amusement glimmering9 in his amber10 eyes. “Steady on,” he purred. “You’re not a RiverClan cat, and we haven’t time for fishing.”
“Sorry,” Lionpaw muttered. Glittering drops of water
