The Sun Trail/Chapter 20

Chapter Summary
 Gray Wing's PoV 
 * Back in the hollow, Gray Wing notices that Jackdaw's Cry and Hawk Swoop had their heads together, laughter in their eyes as they mew something in low voices. He realises that Jackdaw's Cry is a full-grown cat taller than Hawk Swoop now, and the way they were standing close together made him think they were more than friends. A voice says it'll be good for all of the group to have some kits around and he jumps, not realising Dappled Pelt had padded up to him and was also watching the two cats. Shattered Ice grunts its more mouths to feed, even though her eyes had a glint of approval. Gray Wing feels like pelt prickle and he wonders what Storm was doing.


 * Thinking about Storm made Gray Wing feel every muscle and sinew of his body burst with energy. Scrambling out of the hollow, he races across the moor, pumping his legs to go faster and faster for the sheer joy of speed. The cool touch of wind to his pelt makes him feel like he could run forever.
