Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3) QUOTES

1 " I know what it's like to lose kits, Oakheart, I wouldn't wish that kind of grief on any cat. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

2 " -I am willing to die for my own clan.-Fireheart "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

3 " There’s more to being a warrior than killing. A true warrior — the best warrior — isn’t cruel or mean. He doesn’t claw an enemy who can’t fight back. Where’s the honor in that? "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

4 " A leaf cannot return to the bud
- bluestar to fireheart and greystripe "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

5 " Keep your eyes open, Fireheart. Keep your ears pricked. Keep looking behind you. Because one day I'll find you, and then you'll be crowfood. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

6 " No cat ever had such a friend as you. I'd give my life for you; you know that. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

7 " For the first time, a look of uncertainty flickered across Tigercalw's face, as the few cats he had trusted turned him down. "What about you, Dusteplt?" he demanded. "You'll have richer pickings with me than ever you will in ThunderClan."

The young brown tabby got deliberately to his paws and picked his way through the surrounding cats until he stood in front of Tigerclaw. "I looked up to you," he meowed in a clear, level voice. "I wanted to be like you. But Redtail was my mentor. I owe him more than any cat. And you killed him." Grief an fury made his limbs shake, but he kept going. "You killed him and betrayed the Clan. I'd rather die than follow you." He turned and stalked away.

A murmur of appreciation rose from the listening cats and Fireheart heard Whitestorm whisper, "Well said, youngster. "

8 " Here. Lick."
Tigerclaw glared at her. "I'm not a medicine cat."
Cinderpaw's blue eyes blazed as she rounded on the deputy. "You've got a tounge, haven't you? Lick, you usless lump of fur. Do you want the kit to die?"

Fireheart flinched, half expecting Tigerclaw to hurl himself at her and slash her open with his powerful claws. Instead the dark tabby bowed his huge head and began to lick the second kit. "

9 " I buried her on the shore," he whispered as Fireheart padded up and sat down beside him. "She loved the river." He raised his head to where the first stars of Silverpelt were beginning to appear. "She hunts with StarClan now," he mewed softly. "Someday I'll find her again, and we'll be together. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

10 " I have to stay here and bury her," he whispered. "Here, between RiverClan and ThunderClan. After this, not even her own Clan will want to mourn her. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

11 " Fireheart froze. He wanted to protest, but could find no words. The rest of the Clan was just as silent, except for Yellowfang, who muttered, “He’s mad. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

12 " He set a brisk pace through the trees, but not so fast that he failed to notice the brilliant green fronds of new bracken beginning to unfurl, or the first pale buds of primroses pushing out of their green coverings. Birdsong filled the air, and the fresh scent of growing things. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

13 " But why tell me?” Fireheart repeated. “Perhaps after so long I want a cat to know the truth,” meowed Bluestar with a slight frown. “I think you of all cats might understand, Fireheart. Sometimes there are no right choices. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

14 " We need no help from ThunderClan,” growled Crookedstar. “RiverClan cats can look after themselves.” “Don’t be such a fool.” It was Graypool who spoke, with a glare at her leader. Fireheart felt a new surge of respect for her; he guessed that not many cats would dare to take that tone with Crookedstar. “You’re too proud for your own good,” the elder rasped. “How can we feed ourselves, even with the thaw? There are no fish to eat. The river’s practically poisoned; you know it is. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

15 " Graystripe had never taken his duties as mentor seriously, he thought with a pang of worry. He had been more interested in Silverstream right from the start. Meanwhile, Fireheart himself had more or less taken over Brackenpaw’s training. He enjoyed it, and he liked the serious-minded ginger tom, but he was troubled that loyalty to the Clan didn’t mean more to Graystripe. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

16 " Fireheart recognized Mistyfoot, Silverstream’s best friend. He knew she would love these kits as much as her own. But no cat could feel more strongly for Graystripe than Fireheart had, for four long seasons. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

17 " Tigerclaw, what is this?” Bluestar’s meow was sharper now, edged with anger, not fear. “I’m the leader of your Clan, or have you forgotten that?” “Not for much longer,” Tigerclaw growled. “I’m going to kill you, and kill you again. As many times as it takes for you to join StarClan forever. It’s time for me to lead this Clan! "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

18 " Well caught, Cloudpaw,” he meowed. “I didn’t see you coming until it was too late.” “Nor did this stupid bird,” crowed Cloudpaw, flicking his tail smugly. "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

19 " Silverstream is going to have my kits! "

― Erin Hunter , Forest of Secrets (Warriors, #3)

20 " The new deputy will be Fireheart, "
