CHAPTER5
Leafpool was sharing a mouse withCloudtail when Jaypaw nosed his way out of the medicine cat den1 and padded to the fresh-kill pile.
There was plenty of prey2 to choose from. Hunting patrols had already stacked it full, and it was hardly sunhigh. As he dragged a shrew from the bottom—so fresh it still felt warm—the image of Cinderpelt starving in the snowy camp flashed in his mind. Was Leafpool thinking of her old mentor4 as she ate her meal?
“Jaypaw!” Graystripe was bounding across the clearing toward him. The warrior5 skidded6 to a halt. “Eat up! We’re going hunting.”
“Me?” Jaypaw’s heart soared.
“Sorreltail, Mousewhisker, and I will be hunting,” Graystripe corrected him. He must have realized Jaypaw’s disappointment. He whisked his tail along Jaypaw’s flank. “You’ve got a more important job. Leafpool wants you to come with us to gather herbs.”
Great.Jaypaw suddenly didn’t feel hungry anymore. He shoved the shrew back under the pile. “I’ll eat when I get back.”
“We’re going down to the lake,” Graystripe went on.
“The lake?” Jaypaw felt a glimmer8 of interest. The notched9 stick was on the shore; it was his link to the ancient cats from the tunnels. Maybe to even greater mysteries, if he could just understand what all the claw marks meant. “I guess it’ll be good to get out of camp and stretch my legs.”
“That’s more like it.” Graystripe turned and headed toward the thorn tunnel. Jaypaw could hear Sorreltail and Mousewhisker pacing there impatiently. He hurried after Graystripe, and together the patrol headed out into the forest.
Mousewhisker—only recently made a warrior—was buzzing with excitement. “I hope I catch something good! Maybe a squirrel.”
Graystripe purred. “Look out, squirrels!”
