CHAPTER12
“Why don’t you two go tosleep?” Lionpaw grumbled1, circling in his nest yet again.
Icepaw and Foxpaw had been whispering in the dark ever since Whitewing had sent them to their nests. With only five apprentices3 left in the den5, the noise seemed louder than usual. Hollypaw was asleep with her tail covering her ears, and Cinderpaw snored gently beside her. Didn’t Icepaw and Foxpaw need rest, too? Lionpaw tried to make himself comfortable, but his moss6 felt lumpy.
“What are you whispering about, anyway?” he hissed7 at the two young apprentices.
“Nothing important,” Foxpaw mewed.
Lionpaw wriggled8, feeling a pebble9 deep in his nest. Perhaps that was what was making him so uncomfortable. He rooted down through the moss, feeling for the stone and wishing he were asleep.
The whispering started again.
“Shut up!” Lionpaw hissed.
“It wasn’t us!” Icepaw retorted indignantly.
Lionpaw tensed. Who was it then? He sat up in his nest. Something was moving outside. A faint shadow flickered11 over the branches of the den. Lionpaw tasted the air. A musky tang filled his mouth. Not ThunderClan.
He froze.
WindClan!
Had they come to ask for help? But why now, under cover of darkness? He crept to the entrance of the den.
“Where are you going?” Foxpaw whispered.
“Shh!”
Peering out, Lionpaw saw thin shadows streaming through the thorn tunnel. The light-footed shapes were filling the clearing, hardly visible under the moonless sky.
He blinked in disbelief. An invasion?
“Attack!” Lionpaw screeched13
