Chapter 5
“Hi, Jayfeather.” Sandstorm’s voice came from the entrance to the medicine cat’s den1. “We’ve got some cobwebs for you.”
Jayfeather turned, picking up the scent2 of cobwebs, and faintly beneath it the scent of Cherrypaw and Molepaw. It had been a quarter moon since their apprentice3 ceremony, and he had to admit they were settling wel into their duties.
As the two young cats bounced into the den there was a splutter of laughter from Briarlight.
“Oh, Jayfeather, I wish you could see these two.
They’re walking cobwebs—it’s stuck al over them from nose to tail!”
“We found lots,” Molepaw announced proudly.
“Sandstorm lifted up a log for us.”
“I’d better untangle them,” Briarlight went on.
“Come here, both of you, and watch out for that pile of burdock root.”
Jayfeather heard the patter of paws as the two apprentices4 padded across the den, and the sound of Briarlight dragging herself over the ground to meet them.
“Do your legs hurt?” Cherrypaw mewed. “Is it tough, not being able to move them?”
“Yes, it’s tough,” Briarlight replied calmly. “But I’m used to it. And it doesn’t hurt.”
Jayfeather could feel Briarlight’s embarrassment6.
“I don’t know about that,” she murmured. “Now keep stil so I can get this cobweb off your fur.” Jayfeather squeezed past the kits7 and joined Sandstorm in the clearing. “Thanks for taking them out,” he mewed. “Those cobwebs wil come in handy.”
“No problem,” Sandstorm responded. After a moment she added, “It seems like you’re overworked. Maybe you should think about taking an apprentice sometime soon.”
