The Rescue/Part 2

Chapter Summary
Leafstar's PoV
 * Leafstar thinks that things seem to be quiet for a few days; patrols come and go and the sun keeps getting hotter, but she should have known the mystery around the younger cats would come up again. The five young cats head up the gorge, but Sharpclaw asks where they are going. Nettlesplash says that they were going to go on their own dawn patrol, and Sandypaw adds that they were hoping it would count toward their final assessment before becoming warriors. Echosong murmurs that they may be taking initiative, but it's not helping Birdpaw's eye. She fear that it's affecting her appetite, since she hardly at anything from the fresh-kill pile lately. A gray and white she-cat reassures her that Birdpaw must be fine, as due to the heat, none of them are eating much lately. Leafstar notes that the sun that greenleaf is brutal, and she can't believe that she'd rathe rbe in the shade than sprawled out on the warm yellow rocks. She adds that she used to love the feel of teh sun on her fur, but that now it's just too hot. Clovertail sympathizes that it was the same when she was expecting kits in greenleaf.


 * Leafstar thinks to herself that a few more days pass uneventfully, but she can tell something is wrong by the way Echosong is walking. She asks her friend what's wrong. The Medicine Cat answers that Birdpaw's eye hasn't been improving the way she wants it to.
