Chapter 8
Dovewing followed Brambleclaw through the thorns with a squirrel clamped in her jaws1. Hazeltail and Thornclaw fol owed, also carrying prey2. It had been a good hunt.
At the end of the narrow tunnel, Dovewing almost bumped into Brambleclaw, who had halted abruptly3 just inside the camp. “Sorry,” he muttered, moving out of the way.
When Dovewing emerged, she saw that the Clan4 deputy was gazing across the clearing at a strange cat who was sitting beside the fresh-kil pile, eating a piece of prey and chatting to the ThunderClan warriors6 who surrounded him. He looked sleek7 and wel -fed, his pelt8 mottled brown and black, patched with white.
“Who is that?” she asked Brambleclaw, who was stil staring at the newcomer, his neck fur beginning to bristle9.
“Sol,” the deputy replied, dropping the rabbit he was carrying. “He was here before you were born, and—”
“Mousefur told me about him, moons ago!” Dovewing interrupted, excitement beginning to prickle her paws. “Didn’t he make the sun go away? I thought that was just a story.”
Brambleclaw nodded. “It’s no story.”
“Do you think he’l do it again?”
“He’d better not,” Thornclaw growled10, coming to stand beside Brambleclaw. “That cat is trouble. I can’t imagine what Firestar’s thinking, letting him in here.”
Brambleclaw picked up his rabbit and led the way across to the fresh-kil pile. The rest of the patrol fol owed to deposit their prey, weaving their way between the cats who were talking to Sol.
