CHAPTER18
Lionpaw swallowed his last mouthful.He had hardly tasted the mouse, but it had quieted his rumbling1 belly2. He glanced up at the sun shining high in the clear blue sky. Would it disappear again?
What’s happening?Heatherpaw’s terrified mew echoed in his mind.
He could not trust her.
He could not trust the sun.
He could only trust himself and his Clan3.
The clearing was slowly emptying as Firestar moved from cat to cat, sending them to their dens4 to rest.
Squirrelflight lay in her makeshift nest with Hollypaw and Jaypaw curled beside her. Leafpool was checking her again.
“You must rest,” Firestar urged the medicine cat.
Leafpool was swaying on her paws. “What about the other injuries?”
“Brightheart will see to them and fetch you if you’re needed.” Firestar looked at the one-eyed she-cat who was prowling from den5 to den, peering in to check on the cats inside.
“She’ll need rest too,” Leafpool argued.
“And she’ll get it, once you’ve had some sleep.”
Leafpool blinked, her whiskers trembling as she stifled6 a yawn. “Okay,” she agreed. “But wake me if there’s anyproblem.” She was looking at Squirrelflight.
Hollypaw nuzzled closer to her mother, pressing her nose against Squirrelflight’s ear as though she could make her better by wishing it so. Lionpaw’s shoulders tensed, and he dug his claws into the soft earth. If he could fight Squirrelflight’s battle for her, he knew he would win. Frustration7 stung his paws. This was a battle she must fight alone.
Firestar’s muzzle8 brushed his ear. “Shouldn’t you be resting too?”
“I’m not tired.” He stared into Firestar’s clear green gaze.
