CHAPTER 20
“I’ll find a way,” Ivypaw murmuredas Tigerstar led Hawkfrost away into the mist.
“A way to where?” Blossomfall’s mew sounded in her ear.
Ivypaw blinked open her eyes. Early morning light filtered through the branches overhanging the den1.
Blossomfall huffed at her and turned back to Bumblestripe. “It’s bad enough that we have to sleep in the apprentices3’ den again,” she complained, “without them chattering4 like sparrows in their sleep.”
Alarmed, Ivypaw sat up. What else had she said?
Cold air nipped her nose. She smelled the sharp tang of frost. The first of the season.
Dovepaw was stirring in the nest beside her. “What’s going on?” she mewed sleepily. She raised her gray head and gazed around the den, blinking.
“Nothing,” Ivypaw told her. She hopped5 out of her nest.
“Where are you going?” Dovepaw called.
“To talk to Firestar.”
Dovepaw sat up. “Why?”
Blossomfall’s whiskers twitched6. “I suppose Firestar’s used to consulting with apprentices these days,” she commented with an edge to her voice.
Ivypaw ignored them both. She slid under the branch spanning the entrance and padded into the clearing.
Cinderheart was sharing tongues with Sorreltail and Poppyfrost outside the nursery. Molekit and Cherrykit tumbled over the frost-whitened ground, fighting to reach a rolling ball of moss8. Millie was disappearing through the trailing brambles of the medicine den, while Cloudtail and Brightheart shared a mouse beneath Highledge.
“Ivypaw!” Cinderheart called.
“I’m busy,” Ivypaw told her. She was already halfway9 to the rockfall.
Cinderheart stood up. “Where are you going?”
“I need to see Firestar.” Ivypaw didn’t stop. “It’s urgent.”
