CHAPTER 16
The rain continued through the night and into the next morning. But by sunhigh, the clouds began to clear. A somber air hung over the clearing as the Clan waited for news of their leader.
Fireheart crept out from the patch of brambles by the boundary wall, where heâd sheltered since dawn. He padded over to Bluestarâs den in the side of Highrock. There was no sound from inside. As he turned away, he ran into Willowpelt carrying food to the nursery. She tipped her head questioningly to one side.
Fireheart knew she was hoping for news of Bluestar. âNothing to report, Iâm afraid.â He shrugged.
Fireheart had given Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw a dayâs rest from training. He could see them now, lounging outside their den, looking bored. Fireheart knew he had let them down, but he wanted to stay in camp while Bluestar was sick. At least Tigerclaw wasnât here to criticize his decision. The great deputy had taken out the dawn patrol.
Suddenly the lichen at Bluestarâs den twitched and Frostfur burst through. She raced across the clearing to Yellowfangâs den and reappeared within moments with the medicine cat behind her.
Fireheart bounded over to Bluestarâs den just as Frostfur and Yellowfang pushed through the hanging lichen. He stopped outside and sat down, his heart racing. Frostfur peered out.
âWhatâs wrong?â Fireheart asked, his voice trembling.
Frostfur closed her eyes. âShe has greencough,â she told him bleakly. âStand watch and make sure no one comes inside.â She ducked back inside.
Fireheart sat motionless as shock flooded through him. Greencough! Bluestar really was in danger of losing another life.
A sharp yowl outside the camp made him turn and look toward the gorse tunnel. Dustpaw exploded into the clearing and skidded to a halt beside Fireheart. âIâve come from Tigerclaw,â he panted. âI have a message for Bluestar.â
âSheâs sick,â Fireheart replied. âYou canât go in.â
Dustpaw flicked his tail impatiently. âTigerclaw needs to see her at the Thunderpath. Itâs very urgent.â
âWhatâs wrong?â
Dustpaw glared at him. âTigerclaw asked for Bluestar,â he sneered. âNot some kittypet pretending to be a warrior!â
Fury shot through Fireheart and he unsheathed his claws. âBluestar canât leave the camp,â he growled. He flattened his ears and moved so that he blocked the entrance to his leaderâs den.
âFireheart is right.â Yellowfangâs rough meow sounded behind him. She had come out of Bluestarâs den.
Dustpaw looked at the medicine cat, shrinking beneath her orange gaze. âTigerclaw has found evidence of ShadowClan warriors in our territory,â he meowed. âTheyâve invaded our hunting grounds!â
In spite of his fear for Bluestar, Fireheart felt his lip curl in anger. How dared they? After what ThunderClan had done for them!
But Yellowfang wasnât interested in Dustpawâs report. She turned to Fireheart, her eyes filled with urgency. âFireheart,â she meowed. âTell me, do you know whether there is any catnip in the Twolegplace?â
âCatnip?â Fireheart echoed.
âI need it for Bluestar,â Yellowfang explained. âItâs an herb I havenât used for moons, but I think it will help her.â The medicine cat had Fireheartâs full attention now. She continued, âIt has soft leaves and an irresistible scent.
