“I want to be on the sunset patrol,” Squirrelflight meowed at once. “And the search party,” Brambleclaw added. “Of course,” Firestar agreed. “You must lead them both.” Jaypaw let his ruffled fur relax.

If Hollypaw didn’t turn up, then of course he’d try and use his powers to find her, but he wasn’t going to sleep all afternoon just because Leafpool ordered him to. He wanted to get away from her, away from the camp, away from everyone. He began to squeeze through the thorn tunnel. “Where are you going?” Squirrelflight called after him. Anxiety was pricking from her pelt. Was she worried about losing another kit? One that every cat believed couldn’t take care of himself? “For a walk.” “Don’t be long.” I’ll be as long as I like!

“StarClan would want us to help RiverClan,” Hollypaw mewed. “You can’t be sure of that.” Leafpool blinked. “I know you’re worried about Willowpaw, but you’re training to be a warrior now. It’s not appropriate to have such close friends in other Clans.” Hollypaw glared at her. This isn’t about Willowpaw. This is about the future of all four Clans! She searched Leafpool’s gaze and found only a gentle concern. I’m wasting my breath!”
