CHAPTER 8
Lionblaze followed the moonlit trail backto camp. Should I tell Hollyleaf she’s the fourth cat?The thought had been stuck like a burr in his mind since Jayfeather had told them about the Tribe’s prophecy. But what if she’s not? She wanted to be one of the Three so much. Is it fair to raise her hopes again?
Lionblaze tried to think about something else. Overhead the trees rustled1 in the breeze. The birds were quiet now that night had fallen. He glanced over his shoulder. Sorreltail and Squirrelflight padded behind him. They’d patrolled the borders. There was no sign of trouble. Now they were heading home.
Squirrelflight yawned. “I can’t wait to get to my nest.”
Sorreltail shook out her pelt3. “It’s not that late.” She glanced up. “It’s just getting dark earlier.”
Why do we need a fourth cat?Lionblaze’s mind started whirling again. Doesn’t StarClan believe in us? Asmall pang6 jabbed his heart. I was going to save the Clans7. It was my destiny. But now…Now the prophecy had changed. Lionblaze stared at his paws as they followed the well-worn trail down toward the hollow. Has my destiny changed, too?
“Is everything quiet?” Firestar was waiting for them in the clearing. The camp looked deserted8, the Clan5 tucked in their dens10 for the night.
“WindClan re-marked its border,” Lionblaze reported. “ShadowClan seems to have been sniffing11 around the big bramble, but they haven’t strayed into our territory.”
Firestar’s green gaze glittered in the dark. “Anything else?”
