CHAPTER18
“We have to get out ofhere!” Ivypool whispered, expecting hostile cats to leap out at them at any moment.
“We’re only exploring,” Blossomfall pointed1 out, padding up to the paw prints and giving them a curious sniff2. “We’re not doing any harm.”
“Well, it doesn’t feel like that,” Ivypool retorted, annoyed by Blossomfall’s nonchalance3. “It feels like we’re trespassing4, and I want to leave.”
On the opposite side of the river, more tunnels opened up, leading away into darkness. Ivypool leaped across the stream and headed into the nearest one. But she hadn’t taken many paw steps when she was confronted by a solid wall of mud.
“No good,” she told Blossomfall, who was following her. “This one’s blocked.”
Retracing6 their paw steps into the cave, they chose another opening. This one seemed more promising8 at first, leading upward with the occasional chink in the roof to let in light. Then Blossomfall, who was in the lead again, halted abruptly9 when the tunnel took a sharp turn to one side.
Ivypool craned her neck to see past her Clanmate; in the dim light she could make out a tumbled heap of stones and rock stretching right up to the tunnel roof. Ivypool’s heart began to beat faster as they returned to the cave again. “We’ll have to go back the way we came,” she meowed, “and just hope that some cat comes along to help us out of the hole.”
