CHAPTER12
Hollypaw stood on the bank ofthe stream that formed the border with WindClan, not far from the stepping stones. Wind from the moor1 slicked her fur to her sides, bringing the scent2 of cats and rabbits and the tough moorland grass.
Beside her, Squirrelflight waited, the tip of her tail twitching3. Hollypaw could understand why her mother was uneasy. The WindClan border was still a sensitive area, after all the trouble when the WindClan kits4 went missing.
Her thoughts fled back to the tunnels and the surging underground river. She and the other apprentices6 had barely made it out alive with the kits. Hollypaw hoped that the tunnels would stay hidden for a long time, so there would be no more chance of misunderstandings.
“They’re coming.” Squirrelflight was tasting the air.
A couple of heartbeats later a WindClan patrol appeared over the brow of the hill and headed toward them: Tornear, Whitetail, and Breezepaw. Hollypaw’s belly9 began to churn as the apprentice5 charged toward her, streaking10 past his Clanmates. His pelt11 bristled12; he was obviously ready for a border skirmish, but his stride faltered13 when he recognized Hollypaw.
“Oh, it’s you,” he muttered, coming to a halt on the opposite bank of the stream.
“That’s right.” Hollypaw couldn’t forget what a pain he’d been in the tunnels, complaining and arguing the whole time. “I just can’t keep away.”
