Chapter 1
Dovewing sat in a sunlit patch of grass close to the entrance to the warriors' den, and tucked into the plump gray squirrel she'd just chosen from the fresh-kill pile. The sun shone brightly in a mostly clear blue sky, dappled by small, puffy white clouds scudding across it. While the Clan deputy, Brambleclaw, organized patrols near the camp entrance, the ThunderClan leader, Firestar, shared tongues with his mate, Sandstorm. While Leafpool, a Clan warrior and formerly the medicine cat, spoke to Birchfall and Whitewing, Dovewing's own parents nearby, Jayfeather, Leafpool's former medicine cat apprentice who had been forced to become the full ThunderClan medicine cat when Leafpool switched from medicine cat position to warrior position, carried a stick wrapped in moss, probably soaked in mouse bile because the blind gray tabby was wrinkling his nose as though he was carrying fox dung, toward the elder's den, probably to clean the ticks off the Clan elder, Mousefur, who had been a warrior when Firestar had first joined ThunderClan as a young kittypet named Rusty. Just as Dovewing was gulping down the last morsels of the juicy squirrel, her sister, Ivypool, padded over. "Hey, Dovewing, we've just been asked to join a water patrol, with Cloudtail, Brightheart, Brackenfur, and Toadpaw. Graystripe's leading." Dovewing nodded, quickly gobbled up the rest of the piece of prey, then followed her gray-and-white-furred littermate over to the group of cats sliding into patrol position: Graystripe at the head, with the two mates, Cloudtail and Brightheart, Dovewing's grandparents, just behind him; Brackenfur stood just in front of Toadpaw, mainly beside him; the senior warrior was probably going to see what the apprentice could sniff out on the patrol--Dovewing and Ivypool slid in behind them and, with a flick of his bushy, gray tail, Graystripe headed out of camp.
