Lost Stars Quotes

“This is why you should be your own cat," Tree meowed at last. "Like it or not, you have a different ancestry from most of the other young cats in SkyClan.

Squirrelflight seemed to share her misgivings. “Aren’t you being a little harsh?” she murmured to Bramblestar. “All the warriors are doing their best under very difficult conditions.”

Gripped by claws of pure panic, Rootpaw whipped around and raced back to the camp, his belly fur brushing the snow and his tail streaming out in the wind of his passing. Behind him, he could hear a fading voice, calling out to him. “Wait! You have to help me! Please!”
