Chapter 22
“Hi, Dovewing, Ivypool!” Foxleap called as they emerged from the thorns at the rear of Hol yleaf’s training patrol.
The last streaks1 of scarlet2 were fading from the sky and half the stone hol ow lay in deep shadow.
Most of the other patrols seemed to have returned, too, and almost the whole Clan3 was settling down to eat. Ivypool looked across the camp to see Foxleap sitting beside Bumblestripe near the fresh-kil pile.
“Come and share our squirrel!” Foxleap added.
Ivypool raced across the clearing with Dovewing at her shoulder. She noticed the welcoming purr that Bumblestripe gave her sister, and how he made room for her to sit next to him and eat.
“How was the training?” Foxleap prompted.
Every muscle in Ivypool’s body was aching as she flopped4 down and bit into the prey5. “We learned loads,” she mumbled6 around the mouthful of freshkil .
“Yes, al about how to fight underground,” Dovewing put in. “You have to keep your moves smal , and not bang your paws against the wal s.”
“And Hol yleaf taught us to push off the tunnel wal and leap over our enemies,” Ivypool mewed, swal owing the squirrel. “That’s so you don’t get trapped.”
“Wow, it sounds tough!” Foxleap commented.
“It is,” Dovewing admitted, “but it’s kind of logical, too. You’l see, when it’s your turn.”
“This is a great squirrel,” Ivypool meowed, taking another huge bite. “Who caught it?”
“Actual y, it was me,” Bumblestripe confessed, giving his shoulder an embarrassed lick. “I was lucky to get it.”
“No, it was a bril iant catch,” Foxleap insisted.
“Especial y since you were on your own. Cinderheart was supposed to be in our hunting patrol,” he explained, “but she said she wanted to stay here in the hol ow and help Jayfeather.”
