1 " [Fireheart]mewed," It's not my place to judge you." Greystripe looked up as Fireheart went on." Greystripe, whatever you decide to do, I will always be your friend. "
2 " I wonder if he'll ever see the truth in my own heart: that, whatever Dustpelt says, however much Fireheart breaks the warrior code, I love him more that I could imagine loving any other cat. And if Fireheart knew, would he love me, too?- Sandstorm "

3 " Fireheart dashed to the warrior's side. Cloudtail was standing stiff-legged, every hair in his pelt on end as if he were facing an enemy. His eyes were fixed on the limp heap of tabby fur huddled at his paws." Why, Fireheart?" Cloudtail wailed. " Why her?" Fireheart knew, but rage and grief made it hard to speak. " Because Tigerstar wants the pack to get a taste of cat blood," he rasped. The dead cat lying in front of them was Brindleface. "
4 " Fireheart tensed, waiting for whatever had hunted down these apprentices to emerge from the trees and attack, but nothing stirred. Feeling as if his legs hardly belonged to him, he sprang down and stumbled across to Swiftpaw.The apprentice lay on his side, his legs splayed out. His black-and-white fur was torn, and his body was covered with dreadful wounds, ripped by teeth far bigger than any cat's. His jaws still snarled and his eyes glared. He was dead, and Fireheart could see that he had died fighting. "

5 " The cats at the edge of the clearing were staring up at the sky, their eyes huge with fear. As he looked upward, Fireheart heard the beating of wings and saw a hawk circling above the trees, its harsh cry drifting on the air. At the same time he realized that one cat had not taken shelter; Snowkit was tumbling and playing in the middle of the open space." Snowkit!" Speckletail yowled desperately. "
6 " [Fireheart] was interrupted by a screech from Cloudtail. " Fireheart! Fireheart, Brightpaw isn't dead!" Fireheart spun around and raced across the clearing to crouch beside Brightpaw. Her white-and-ginger fur, which, she had always kept so neatly groomed, was spiky with drying blood. On one side of her face the fur was torn away, and there was blood where her eye should have been. One ear had been shredded, and there were huge claw marks scored across her muzzle. "
7 " Fire will save the Clan," she murmured, and Fireheart remembered the mysterious prophecy that he had heard from his earliest days in ThunderClan. " You never understood, did you?" Bluestar went on. " Not even when I gave you your apprentice name, Firepaw. And I doubted it myself, when fire raged through our camp. Yet I see the truth now. Fireheart, you are the fire who will save ThunderClan. "

9 " We're going to investigate," Fireheart meowed. " We can't decide how to get rid of these dogs until we know exactly what we have to face. We're not going to attack them, not yet-have you got that, Cloudtail?" Cloudtail's blue eyes burned into his, and he did not reply." I won't take you, Cloudtail, unless you promise to do as you're told without question." " Oh, all right." The tip of Cloudtail's tail flicked irritably. " I want every last dog turned into crowfood, but I'll do it you're way, Fireheart." " Good." Fireheart's gaze swept over the rest of the patrol. " Any questions?" " What if we come across Tigerstar?" asked Sandstorm." A cat from another Clan on our territory?" Fireheart bared his teeth. " Yes, you can attack him.Cloudtil let out a growl of satisfaction. "
10 " Brightpaw's eye opened and she fixed a cloudy gaze on Fireheart." What happened?" he repeated. " What did this?" A thin wailing came from Brightpaw, which gradually formed into words. Fireheart stared at her in horror as he made out what she was trying to say." Pack, pack," she whispered. " Kill, kill. "
