CHAPTER20
Lionpaw followed Talon1 as he pickedhis way down the trail to the rocks below. The cats who had killed the eagle were waiting for them, their eyes guarded and their tails twitching2.
A pale gray tom stepped forward to touch noses with Talon. “It’s good to see you again,” he mewed. There was warmth in his voice. “And you, Night,” he added, as the black she-cat padded up to join them.
“Thank you, Gray,” Talon replied.
Lionpaw eyed the Tribe cats doubtfully. They were smaller and skinnier than most Clan3 cats, and their gray-brown pelts5 were smeared6 with mud so that they almost faded into the rocky background. Their eyes glowed strangely, reflecting the red light of the setting sun. As one of them turned to look at him, he took a step toward Squirrelflight. She bent7 her head and licked his ear, and for a heartbeat he felt ashamed.
I’m not a kit8 anymore.
Besides, he told himself, they were there to helpthese cats.
The cat Talon had called Gray was staring at the other cats who had descended9 the trail behind Night. “Stormfur!” he exclaimed, his eyes stretched wide. “Brook11! What are you doing here? You’re…you’re supposed to be dead.”
The Tribe cats edged closer together, their fur bristling12. Lionpaw felt a flash of irritation13. Just because Stoneteller had said Stormfur and Brook were dead to the Tribe didn’t mean they were actually dead. Did these cats believe everything their leader told them?
