Im the best stalker on the moor. Lightning Tails eyes shone with pride. Acorn Fur nodded. He can stalk a hare from the moortop to the gorge without it scenting him. And Acorn Fur can kill snakes Lightning Tail gazed proudly at his sister. I only killed one, Acorn Fur protested. Thats one more than me Thunder purred, pleased to see that, even though theyd grown, Acorn Fur and Lightning Tail still felt like kin. Acorn Furs gaze flitted across Thunders pelt. You look strong. Her eyes flashed admiringly. And sleek. Heat flooded beneath Thunders fur. Thanks. He glanced self-consciously at his big paws. You look great too. Her dark chestnut fur was thick and short and shone in the sun. And her squashed kits nose had lengthened into a smooth, straight muzzle. Lightning Tail wove around him. So what was it like in the forest How was Clear Sky Are you glad you went to live there Stop interrogating him Acorn Fur flashed a stern look at her brother before softening her gaze for Thunder. You came back because you missed us, didnt you Thunder blinked at her gratefully. She was sparing him from explaining the real reasons hed returned. But part of him wanted to share what hed seen: Clear Skys deadly fight with Misty, the kittens needlessly made orphans by his fathers greed for territory, Frosts heartless banishment. Acorn Furs amber gaze darkened. Is everything okay, Thunder I never want you to see any of the things Ive witnessed. Everythings fine, he lied. Were not kits anymore. Lightning Tail must have seen his pelt pricking. You dont have to protect us. But I do. Thunder shook out his fur. We hear what the other cats are saying about Clear Sky, Acorn Fur told him. Lightning Tail leaned closer. Are we going to go to battle Thunder gazed past them, past the heather, across the rising moor. Would they have to fight to keep all this Are we Acorn Furs gaze sharpened. I hope not, he breathed. Lightning Tail d Runners mew sounded across the camp. Lightning Tail turned.

The rogue she-cat was striding across the clearing, Gorse Fur and Jackdaws Cry at her heels. You and Acorn Fur can come and practice battle moves with us. Battle moves Lightning Tail stared at her. We only know how to hunt, Acorn Fur chipped in. Then its time you learned some fighting skills. d Runner stopped at the edge of the clearing while Gorse Fur and Jackdaws Cry took up positions in front of her. Thunder stiffened. It wasnt just Jagged Peak All the cats were preparing to fight. Did they believe battle was unavoidable Lightning Tail padded toward them. I suppose we could adapt some hunting moves, he suggested. Acorn Fur followed. We could turn a hunting crouch into an attack crouch. A chill ran along Thunders spine. This was the sort of thing Clear Sky would do. Not the moor cats. He scanned the clearing. Where was Gray g Had he approved this There was no sign of the gray tom. His nest was empty. Tall Shadow was lying on the flat rock. She was watching the cats, her eyes round with interest. Gray g wouldnt want this. Thunder hurried after Acorn Fur. Wait. Theres no need to practice fighting. Gray gs going to speak with Clear— d Runner darted forward and blocked his way. Did I ask you to join us Jackdaws Cry and Gorse Fur backed away. Acorn Fur and Lightning Tail turned and gazed uneasily at Thunder. d Runner was glaring at him challengingly. Thunder halted. Im just saying you dont need to practice battle moves yet. d Runner narrowed her eyes and padded slowly toward him, her plump belly sging. Youve just arrived. Dont start telling us what to do. I was only trying to help. Why dont we just forget the fighting, he urged. At least until after Gray gs met with Clear Sky. You might find youve got nothing to fight about. d Runner curled her lip. Are you really that dumb Anger flashed beneath Thunders pelt. Its not dumb to try and avoid battle he spat. But what do you know Last time I was here you were called plain d—nothing but a rogue with a rogues name. d Runner glanced triumphantly over her shoulder at Gorse Fur. See Hes only come back to cause trouble. Just like his father. Leave him alone Acorn Fur pushed between them. Why d Runner flattened an ear. No one wants him here. Thunder glanced around at the moor cats. Lightning Tails eyes were clouded with worry. Acorn Furs tail was twitching anxiously. Gorse Fur and Jackdaws Cry stared at him coldly. Finally, Thunder looked to Tall Shadow. She sat up on the flat rock, her gaze giving nothing away. d Runner. Hope pricked in Thunders paws. Was she going to stand up for him Tall Shadows eyes were shining. Ive decided that today is the day to formally welcome you into our camp. You too, Gorse Fur You are one of us now. Thunder swallowed. So Tall Shadow was aligning herself with d Runner—a rogue who was training the moor cats to fight What about Gray gs decision to find a peaceful solution Had Tall Shadow—had every cat—decided that battle couldnt be avoided Thunder. Turtle Tails mew sounded softly in his ear. He spun around. She was gazing at him gently. Follow me. Beckoning him with a flick of her tail, she led him to a patch of warm grass beside the tunnel entrance where she and Gray g made their nest. The moss still smelled of the kits. Its warm scent drifted over his muzzle and he let his hackles fall. I know youre angry, she began. They just want to fight He glanced back at d Runner and Gorse Fur as their camp mates wove around them murmuring congratulations. Jagged Peak was training the kits He searched her gaze, waiting to see shock, but she looked back steadily, her pelt unruffled. I know, she admitted. But were worried. We dont know what Clear Sky will do next and we want to be ready. Her gaze flicked toward Sparrow Fur and Owl Eyes. You know Id never let them fight. But I want them to be able to defend themselves if they have to. You think Clear Sky will attack kits Thunders breath quickened. How could she believe that Even Clear Sky wouldnt be that cruel. Well know more once Gray gs spoken to him. Why cant they wait before they start practicing Do you really think they should She leaned closer. Our home is at stake. Thunder narrowed his eyes. Turtle Tail pressed on. What if Gray g cant persuade Clear Sky to stop expanding his borders I couldnt. Thunders belly tightened as he remembered trying to reason with his father. Clear Sky had turned on him. He hadnt even tried to listen. He met Turtle Tails gaze. Then theyll have to fight. Turtle Tail nodded. Its better were prepared for the worst. Thunder dipped his head. Okay, he conceded grimly. If we must prepare for battle, then Ill help. If they had to fight, he was going to make sure they knew how to fight properly. image CHAPTER 4 image Gray g slid through a gap in the heather, shaking soil from his paws. He blinked as he saw Jackdaws Cry, Shattered Ice, and Dappled Pelt heading for the flat rock where Hawk Swoop, Turtle Tail, and the others were already gathered. Whats going on He pricked his ears. Tall Shadow was standing on the rock, tail high. Only Thunder hung back in the clearing, his gaze dark. Gray g There you are Tall Shadow leaped from the rock and padded past the young tom. Im making d Runner and Gorse Fur part of our group, like we agreed. Pleased, Gray g flicked his tail. Its about time, he purred. They already feel like they belong here. Behind Tall Shadow, he could see Thunders pelt pricking. Something was wrong. He dipped his head. Ill join you on the rock in a moment. He waited for Tall Shadow to leave, then crossed the sandy earth to Thunder. Is something wrong Thunder was frowning. d Runner wants to teach the kits battle moves. So Gray g tipped his head, confused. Shes a natural leader. I trust her judgment. Its one of the reasons we want her to join us. She knows that we must be prepared. Thunder dropped his gaze. Thats what Turtle Tail said. Then whats the problem No one seems to believe we can find a peaceful solution, Thunder muttered. I thought talking to Clear Sky would be enough. Hopefully, it will be. Gray g felt a surge of affection for the young cat. He might be clear-sighted about his fathers ambition, but he still had faith enough to believe that all would be well if only they could reason with Clear Sky. Life is never so simple, he thought with a pang. Ill do my best but, if talking doesnt work, we may have to fight to keep whats ours. Gray g. Tall Shadow called from the far side of the clearing, a few tail-lengths from the flat rock. d Runner paced at her side while Gorse Fur watched anxiously. We must talk. Gray g touched Thunders cheek with his nose. Join the others. He nodded toward the cats gathered beside the rock. They were murmuring, heads bowed, casting curious glances at Tall Shadow, d Runner, and Gorse Fur. Whats the delay Rainswept Flower called. Tall Shadows gaze grew more urgent. Gray g He bounded toward her. Is something wrong he asked as he stopped at her side. d Runner and Gorse Fur were exchanging nervous glances. Had they changed their mind about joining the moor cats Tall Shadow frowned. d Runner and Gorse Fur are expecting kits. Kits Gray g blinked. Joy warmed his pelt. Thats great news. Is it d Runner moved closer to her mate. Kits will mean extra mouths to feed. She glanced at the moor cats. Our kits will be safer if theyre raised in the camp. But itll be a burden for every cat. She held her chin high. They should know what theyre taking on before we join the group. Gorse Fur puffed out his chest. We dont want the mountain cats to resent them. Gray gs ear twitched. Why would they do that Pebble Heart, Sparrow Fur, and Owl Eyes were always hungry and always getting underpaw, but no one resented them. New life brings hope and joy. And extra hunting, d Runner reminded him. Gray g swept his tail toward the distant horizon. Theres enough prey out there for us all. He suddenly realized that Tall Shadows gaze was lingering on d Runners bulging flank. Its a bad time for kits to be born, the black she-cat muttered. Clear Skys spoiling for a fight. d Runner t be able to join in the battle and well have more kits to defend. Gray g met her gaze. If it comes to battle, more kits will make us fight harder. Well have more to fight for. Tall Shadow looked unconvinced. We should leave, d Runner growled. No Gray g stepped forward. Memory swept him back to Storms den. Hed fought through dust and rubble to try to save her and her kits. Shed tried to raise them alone and it had killed her and two of her kits. Only Thunder had survived. Its our duty to help d Runner and Gorse Fur raise their litter, he told Tall Shadow firmly. The black she-cat dipped her head. I guess they have earned their place with us, she conceded. Many times. Gray g nodded to d Runner. Your kits will be raised as though they are our own. A purr escaped him. Suddenly he could picture tiny kits hurtling across the clearing after Pebble Heart, Sparrow Fur, and Owl Eyes. For a moment, all his fears of battle disappeared. These kits would grow up safe in their moorland home. He strode across the clearing, pushing between Jackdaws Cry and Rainswept Flower, and leaped onto the flat rock. Tall Shadow jumped up beside him. He beckoned d Runner and Gorse Fur forward with a flick of his tail. Hawk Swoop and Shattered Ice moved to let them pass. Jackdaws Cry and Rainswept Flower backed away to open a circle for the two rogues to stand in. Cloud Spots slid out from the gorse where Frost peeked out, his white face half-hidden in shadow. Dappled Pelt stepped aside to let the black-and-white tom in next to her. Pebble Heart, Sparrow Fur, and Owl Eyes lined up beside Turtle Tail, as neat as owlets on a branch. Jagged Peak stood beside them, eyes shining. Wheres Thunder Gray gs heart lurched as he scanned the cats for the young tom. He must show support for d Runner and Gorse Fur if he was to be accepted fully back into the camp. Didnt he realize how much theyd grown to be part of the group while hed been in the forest with Clear Sky This was an important moment; it was the first time the mountain cats had formally accepted new cats into their ranks. Every cat had to approve if they were to stay united. Relief flooded him as he spotted Thunders orange-and-white pelt, half hidden between Acorn Fur and Lightning Tail. He caught the young toms eyes. Thunder stared back, his gaze unreadable. Tall Shadow began. d and Gorse welcomed us to the moor when we first arrived. Purrs rumbled around the circle. They have been loyal allies as weve adjusted from mountain life to moor life, she went on. It is an honor to invite them to make their home with us permanently. d Runner looked up at the black she-cat, her eyes questioning. Gray g guessed what the expectant queen was thinking. Is Tall Shadow going to mention the kits He stepped forward. This needed to be spoken now. If there were objections, they must be heard. d Runner is expecting kits. He gazed around the moor cats. Warmth glowed in Hawk Swoops eyes. Jagged Peak purred loudly. Congratulations Rainswept Flower darted forward and touched noses with d Runner. Jackdaws Crys tail twitched uneasily. Can we feed extra mouths Acorn Fur stared at him. Of course we can Lightning Tail pricked his ears. Our hunting skills get better every season. Murmurs of agreement rippled around him. What about when the cold season comes Cloud Spots reasoned. Prey will go to ground. Shattered Ice raised his voice. Then well hunt in the tunnels that d Runner and Gorse Fur showed us when we arrived. Tall Shadow stepped to the edge of the rock. Gray g saw with relief that her eyes were shining, all doubt gone. d Runner and Gorse Fur have done so much for us, she called. They have earned prey for their kits, and their kits kits Jagged Peak nodded enthusiastically. They rescued me from a collapsed tunnel, he reminded them. When every other cat thought I was dead, d Runner cleared my nose and throat so I could breathe. When we were kits, Gorse Fur taught me and Acorn Fur how to stalk rabbits, Lightning Tail chimed in. He spent a whole afternoon shog us how to lie flat and still and let the rabbit come to us. Acorn Fur purred loudly. He was so patient, even when we got bored and started stalking his tail instead Turtle Tail stepped forward. d Runner showed me the best places to hunt after I returned from Twolegplace. Gray g swallowed back a purr. Turtle Tail had often complained that d Runner was too bossy, holding her responsible for turning Bumble away from the camp. He was relieved to see that she had accepted the rogue at last.
