Chapter 3

"It's ok, just keep pushing. . . Come on, you can do it! Just push a little harder!" Cinderpelt encouraged Sandstorm. "Not too much longer. . . "

"I may not be a medicine cat but I know it's going to take longer than tha-" She started to say but she stopped. Pain coursed through her as her belly knotted up into a tight ball.

"Nooo! NO!" Cinderpelt screamed. "You can't die! Not again! It happened with Silverstream but please, not with you!"

"I-I'm going to be. . . alright. . . I think." She mumbled, forcing reassuring words to her friend and medicine cat. Shouldn't it be her reassuring me? She thought.

Firestar trekked through the moorlands leading towards Highstones. He stopped by the Thunderpath, crouching down until there were no monsters in sight. Then he ran over to the other side, but, just as his leg was about to leave the Thunderpath a monster rushed forward and hit him. The pain was unbearable, but he knew it wasn't broken. But it slowed him down and there were 2 more Thunderpaths to go. He dragged his leg slowly towards the Thunderpath. Nothing was coming. Or so he thought.

Graystripe raced towards Fourtrees, opening his mouth to scent the air.

"He's been this way!" Ashpaw yelled. Graystripe turned to see him scenting a tree.

He ran and ran until they finally burst into the clearing at Fourtrees. Willowpelt and Brightheart were scenting the air, while Ashpaw sniffed along the ground.

"He's gone this way!" Ashpaw mewed suddenly.

"But that's the way to Windclan territory!" He remembered. Or Highstones!

So once again they set off, charging through the undergrowth in search of their leader.

Firestar padded along the Thunderpath. Just as he made it to the middle a monster rushed up to meet him, but surprisingly it swerved to avoid him. He ran as fast as his leg would let him until he was safely across both Thunderpaths and by the entrance to Mothermouth. Inside the great cave would be the Moonstone, a stone that leaders and medicine cats used to communicate with Starclan.
Firestar sat down on a large stone to wait for moonhigh. Then he would make his way to the Moonstone and share tongues with Starclan. And he had a lot of tongue to share with them.
