CHAPTER13
Hollyleaf blinked in surprise when shewoke among the stone walls of the Twoleg nest instead of under the branches of the warriors3’ den4 in the ThunderClan camp. Then she remembered their journey to find Sol, and how Jingo had brought them to this abandoned Twoleg nest to save them from the dogs.
As Hollyleaf sat up, her brother yawned and stretched. “I don’t like this place,” he muttered. “It’s time we left.”
Hollyleaf murmured agreement. It wasn’t right for warriors to be so close to all this Twoleg stuff, even though there were no Twolegs here.
The pale light of dawn flooded into the den through the gap in the wall. Looking around, Hollyleaf saw that Birchfall and Hazeltail were still asleep. Brackenfur was perched on the ledge7 under the gap where Hussar had sat the night before. There was no sign of Brambleclaw, but a moment later he sprang up from outside and squeezed through the gap to sit beside Brackenfur.
“All’s quiet,” he reported. “But there’s a strong smell of dog.”
Hollyleaf twitched8 her whiskers; she could pick up the rank scent9 even here.
“We have to get moving,” Brackenfur meowed. “Have you seen Jingo?”
Brambleclaw shook his head. Speckle and her kits10 were curled up in a furry11 heap on one of the soft boulders12, while Fritz and Pod were sleeping on the other. There was no sign of the other Twolegplace cats.
“She’ll be here somewhere.” Brambleclaw jumped down inside the nest. “I think we can trust her.”
He padded over to prod13 Birchfall and Hazeltail awake. As the two younger warriors were blinking sleep away, Jingo padded in through the entrance to the den.
