CHAPTER 21
Dovewing’s ears ached from the snowthat blocked them; snow filled her eyes and froze her paws until she felt as if they were burning. “I hate snow,” she grumbled1. “I’d give anything to be back in the forest.”
“So would I,” Foxleap agreed.
Dovewing had noticed that the Tribe cats moved far more easily through the landscape. They seemed to know instinctively2 where there were rocks to jump onto, even when they were covered by a thin layer of white. Admiring Splash’s easy grace, Dovewing forgot to watch where she was putting her paws. The snow gave way underneath4 her and she felt herself sinking into a drift.
“No! Help!” she yowled, flailing5 her paws as if she was trying to swim through the powdery white flakes6.
Crag bounded back toward her and bent7 over, fastening his teeth into her scruff. Just as if I was a kit8!Dovewing thought crossly, scrabbling for a paw hold as the cave-guard hauled her out and set her down again on solid rock.
Crag’s eyes gleamed with humor. “Anytime,” he purred. “Just ask.”
“You see the pine tree over there?” Swoop12 pointed13 with her tail. “The one blasted by lightning? That’s the next border marker.”
