Chapter description

Completely lost, the cats decide to take the opportunity to hunt. They set their sights on a rabbit, and the five cats ambush and successfully catch it. After they have eaten, Wistlepaw hears a noise through the trees, and Dovewing identifies the source as monsters on the Thunderpath. They continue on, eventually stopping to make camp in a forest of apple trees. Ivypool notices that Rootspring has been quiet since they left the Sisters, but decides against speaking to him.

A monster wakes the five cats up, forcing them to flee. Ivypool and Whistlepaw both stumble, and Whistlepaw falls into the path of an oncoming monster. Ivypool slams into her, forcing her out of danger, and the two race towards the rest of their companions. They continue to run until they make it to safety, breaking through the trees. Once they reach safety, they look ahead to see that they have not gone far off course, and Ivypool retakes the lead toward the mountain.
