Clear Sky shifted his paws Nettle had fought beside him to keep the boundaries theyd made What would he say when he heard Clear Sky had suddenly decided that the cats should share their land and live as one group He would understand once he knew that it was what the spirit cats wanted But there wasnt time to explain now I want to see Jagged Peaks kits This was true He hadnt visited his brothers litter yet

The weathers closing in Nettle glanced at the thick yellow clouds crowding the treetops Therell be heavy snow before the days out and if the wind picks up Clear Sky interrupted I come from the mountains remember Im used to getting snow in my whiskers Nettle shrugged Its your pelt He glanced across the clearing as Blossom slid out from beneath the holly Do I smell prey she asked brightly Her gaze swiveled toward Acorn Fur Acorn Fur dropped her starling Theres not much but we can share

Leaf laid his squirrel on the ground Itll do for now His mew was cheerful but Clear Sky could see worry darkening his gaze The sooner he persuaded the cats theyd be safer working together the better He headed for the gap in the brambles Make sure Pink Eyes gets some food he called over his shoulder His hungry belly is making him grouchy He shot a teasing look at the white cat Pink Eyes stared stiffly ahead as though deaf Clear Sky knew his sharp hearing hadnt missed his jibe Affection surged beneath

his pelt Proud old fleabag Blossom leaped onto a root beside Pink Eyes Do you want to share the starling or the squirrel I guess a bite of squirrel might be nice the tom huffed grudgingly Purring Clear Sky slipped through the bramble tunnel Outside camp the wind was brisker The branches above him swished in the breeze He opened his mouth and tasted snow It carried the stone tang of the mountains Nettle had been right A heavy snowfall was on its way

He hurried between the trees The sooner he reached the moor cats hollow the better He followed the ridge until it dipped then he leaped a fallen tree and climbed the slope beyond Bare brambles snaked over the ground and he had to watch where he put each paw The ferns had withered long ago but in their musty stumps Clear Sky could smell a hint of the forests greenleaf lushness Stiff bracken crowded the top of the slope Clear Sky pushed through it narrowing his eyes against the light as he neared the edge of the forest He broke from the trees ducking instinctively as he hit open country

The icy wind streamed through his whiskers and he flattened his ears He glanced one way then the other tasting the air for danger Dog scent clung to the grass but it was stale and he crossed the swath of withered ferns edging the woods and began to climb through the rough grass He paused as he neared a stunted thorn tree standing alone on the barren moorside Beneath it a mound of soil marked the grave where they had buried One Eye the bloodthirsty rogue The cats from moor forest and river had joined together to defeat him Snow flecked the soil and thrushes sang in the branches above He was a true ray of light

Bitterness rose in Clear Skys throat as he remembered Star Flowers words at the burial How could she have been so deluded One Eye might have been her father but even she must have been shocked by his cruelty How could she have betrayed Thunder for him Clear Sky snorted He still couldnt believe that the treacherous shecat had deceived his son The wind blew harder Heather swayed ahead of him and he hurried for its shelter ducking among the brown bushes until he found a rabbit trail between the stems He followed it relieved to be out of the wind zigzagging this way and that as he made his way up the winding path

The heather gave way to a smooth grassy slope In the open once more Clear Sky spied the dip in the hillside where the moor cats camp lay He quickened his pace Snowflakes streamed around him falling thicker now Movement caught his eyes A small flash of fur against the grass ahead made him freeze Prey A small rabbit was hopping toward the heather Clear Sky dropped into a crouch and pricked his ears Excitement surged through him as warm rabbit scent filled his nose His tail twitched He waggled his hindquarters preparing to pounce Suddenly the rabbit stopped and looked around ears high Clear Sky froze The rabbit blinked then bolted for the heather

Now Clear Sky surged forward His paws rang on the frozen earth The rabbit fled Fearscent trailed in its wake Clear Sky was closing in He pushed harder against the frosty grass fixing his gaze on the space in front of it Then he leaped Stretching his forepaws he landed squarely on his prey It struggled beneath him He was surprised at its strength Quickly he dug in his claws and sank his teeth into its neck The spine snapped cleanly and the rabbit fell limp Clear Skys mouth watered as blood bathed his tongue He sat up and licked his lips Should he leave his catch to take back to his own cats He glanced toward the hollow The moor cats might have greater need And it would make a generous offering to Jagged Peak and Holly in honor of their first litter

He grabbed the rabbits scruff in his jaws and carried it up the slope As he neared the moor cats camp he scanned the top of its gorse wall Where was Tall Shadow She was usually watching from her rock scanning the moor with her solemn wary gaze He slowed as he reached the camp entrance There was no cat guarding it He pricked his ears Had the weather driven them into their tunnels We should wait for the snow to pass before we send out a hunting patrol Clear Sky heard Thunders mew beyond the camp wall Pride swelled in his chest His son had grown into a fine tom What if it lasts for days Gray Wings mew answered Thunder Lets worry about that when it happens Clear Sky nosed through the gap in the gorse

Gray Wing turned to meet him eyes round with surprise Clear Sky What are you doing here Clear Sky dropped his catch I came to visit Jagged Peaks kits He glanced around the camp a purr rumbling in his throat as he spied three kits tumbling across the grass at the far end of the hollow Thunder didnt follow his gaze He was staring at the rabbit on the ground in front of Clear Sky Did you catch that on our land His amber eyes narrowed Clear Sky blinked at him Only a few moons ago theyd begun to grow close Now he felt further from his son than ever before II brought it for Jagged Peak and Holly One of the kits squeaked excitedly Im the fastest

Clear Sky saw a brown tomkit struggle from his littermates grip and race toward Jagged Peak who was watching from the long grass at the edge of the hollow No youre not A tabby shekit raced after him The splotches on her pelt were like Hollys White tips on her nose and her tail made her look as though shed been dipped in snow Wait for me A third kit trailed behind His thick gray pelt and lithe frame reminded Clear Sky of Jagged Peak before the accident that had crippled his hind leg
