CHAPTER17
By the time Jaypaw was full,there was still quite a lot of the blackbird left. “Do you want any more?” he asked Half Moon.
The white she-cat shook her head. “We could take it to Owl1 Feather,” she suggested. “Her kits2 are hungry, and growing fast.”
“Good idea.” Jaypaw wanted to see as much of these cats and where they lived before he went back to ThunderClan. Ifhe went back…
He and Half Moon picked up the remains4 of the blackbird and headed farther up the hill toward the tunnel entrance. It seemed to be a popular daytime gathering5 place, like the clearing in the center of a camp. Several cats were scattered6 around it, dozing7 or sharing tongues; Jaypaw waved his tail at Dove’s Wing and Fish Leap as he passed, hoping he looked as if he knew where he was going.
He dropped back to follow Half Moon as she climbed farther up the slope until they broke clear of the trees. On the ridge8, she dropped her chunk9 of blackbird and stood gazing out across the moorland. She pointed10 her muzzle11 at a faint purple line in the far distance.
“Stone Song thinks we should go that way,” she mewed.
As he put down his fresh-kill, Jaypaw felt the hair on his pelt12 start to rise and his paws tremble. Those were the mountains! Could these cats possibly be the ancestors of the Tribe? Glancing sideways at Half Moon, he saw that she was compactly built, with strong haunches that looked as if they would be good for climbing trees. She didn’t have the wiry build of a Tribe cat.
