Book 3 - Chapter 3

The cats turned and raced back into the cave. Berryfur leapt up to a little ledge in the cave and he called to the assembled clan. "Cats of Fishclan we have a problem. The fire is spreading and it has blocked the only way out of the cave." "So you mean we are trapped?" asked Darkflower. With Tigerstar. "How much farther to where the frost hits water?" asked Tigerstar. "We have a long way to go." "What about my clan?" "Do you you doubt the power, strength or bravery in your deputies? Do you doubt their sense to lead the clan?" "No," said Tigerstar slowly, "but they shouldn't have to lead the clan. I am still clan leader." "Of course." said the cat with green eyes quickly. "But in your absence do you think the deputies will lead the clan well?" Tigerstar narrowed his eyes but replied, "yes, my deputies are the very best." "Then you should have nothing to worry about." said the cat with blue eyes softly. "What type of cat are you?" asked Tigerstar. "Do you think we are leading you into a trap?" "No," said Tigerstar. "But what kind of cat are you?" "All will be revealed when it is necessary." Tigerstar flicked his tail they hadn't answered his questions. Tigerstar padded on. A few moons later the group of cats had reached the place where frost hits water. "I will get our leader." The leader came out of her cave.  The deputy and senior warrior followed. "I have a question." said Tigerstar. "Why is your leader on fire and why does your deputy look like he/she is made of bubbles. The cat with blue eyes just repeated, "all will be revealed in time." The leader came to stand in front of Tigerstar. "You are Tigerstar?" asked the leader. Tigerstar nodded. "What does beware mean?" said Tigerstar fiercely. The cats assembled just stared at Tigerstar as if he were crazy.
