1 " Jayfeather might be one of the best, but there were days when being trained by a badger might be easier. "

2 " My new name will keep me warm! "
3 " Sleekpaw says dead cats are dumb. She says StarClan can’t possibly understand the forest anymore. They’ve "
4 " We all were. We wanted to learn the warrior code.” “Only because you wanted to be like ThunderClan,” Needlepaw scoffed. "
5 " Jayfeather "
6 " He always seemed to have one eye on the blue-eyed she-cat. "
7 " He follows Bramblestar around like a shadow, giving ‘tips. "
8 " Leafpool glanced at Jayfeather, amusement flashing in her gaze. “That might not go down too well in the medicine den. "
9 " He faced Darktail. “You will take this Clan over my dead body.” Delight sparked in Darktail’s gaze. “That sounds fair.” The rogue leader flung himself at Rowanstar. "
10 " He sends scouts ahead when he goes on patrol. He’s set a permanent guard at the camp entrance. He’s enforcing every rule. Half the Clan is on punishment duty for breaking one code or another.” He glanced over his shoulder. “Everyone’s scared they’ll be reported. The warriors are so tense they hardly speak to one another, and the apprentices act like they’re walking on quails’ eggs. "
11 " Whorlkit "
12 " She says StarClan can’t possibly understand the forest anymore. "
13 " Fluffing her fur out against the cold, Twigkit followed Alderpaw through the moonlit forest. They were going to meet Violetkit and Needlepaw. It had been over half a moon since they’d met, and she longed to see her sister. She could tell Violetkit how she’d heard their mother’s voice and smelled her scent when she’d nearly drowned. Perhaps Violetkit still remembered what their mother had smelled and sounded like. As Twigkit followed Alderpaw up a leaf-strewn rise, she tried to ignore the shame worming in her belly. “Do you think Bramblestar’s still mad at me for falling in the lake? "
14 " You have to go!” Needlepaw looked desperate. “Rain will be expecting me, and if I don’t turn up, he might not like me anymore.” Sympathy filled Violetkit’s heart. Needlepaw was her only real friend in the Clan. She’d been so kind. No one else had taken her to see Twigkit. “Okay,” she agreed. "
15 " Did he have to sit here, being solemn and serious with Kestrelflight, Mothwing, and Willowshine, just because he was a medicine-cat apprentice? If he was going to be an apprentice longer than any other cat, couldn’t he at least have fun? "
16 " if a fox attacks her? She’s only learned basic battle moves. She may have been gone all night. I should have kept a closer eye on her. I knew she was upset after our journey.” “It’s not your fault.” Alderpaw tried to press back the guilt welling in his own chest. He shared a den with Twigpaw. He should have been more alert. He should have noticed her leave. He shook out his pelt. “Worrying won’t find her.” He headed out of the den. “Does Squirrelflight know she’s missing? We should tell her before she’s finished organizing the patrols. Someone needs to look for Twigpaw.” Bramblestar was on the Highledge. Below him, ThunderClan warriors milled around Squirrelflight. Brackenfur, Whitewing, and Cinderheart were already padding toward the entrance, clearly heading out on patrol. “There’s a mouse nest near the birch trees.” Whitewing’s eyes shone eagerly. “Let’s stalk squirrels first,” Cinderheart suggested. “They’ll still be sleepy and slow.” Rosepetal trotted toward Alderpaw. “Is Larkpaw awake?” “Not yet.” Alderpaw didn’t stop. “Apprentices!” Rosepetal huffed. “They’re always the last ones up. "
17 " eats were "
18 " rogues?” Rosepetal sounded shocked. Sometimes "
