Chapter Summary
Tigerheart's PoV
- Tigerheart follows Fierce, Cinnamon, Cobweb, and Ant. He fears losing them as they dodge towering dens and Thunderpaths. The city's howl is even louder, with Twolegs swarming everywhere. Monsters are barking and shrieking, and the brown tom hurries after Cobweb. He keeps his ears flat as the group ducks beneath a sleeping monster, then waits, before darting through a flood of monsters that came to a halt. Tigerheart wonders how the guardian cats can remember the route, because the smells and noises overhelmed him already. He prays not to lose them, as he's disoriented by everything around him.
- His thoughts alarm him, before focusing on Cobweb's tail, determined. Fierce has slowed, and glances up at the sky, showing between the Twoleg dens. Tigerheart feels as though he is looking up from the bottom of a canyon, and questions if they're nearly there. He mentions that it seems like a dangerous journey to the herb patch. Fierce tells him at the end of the alley, the nests disappear. She says that it'd only be monsters and Thunderpaths, and Tigerheart wonders why the she-cat sounds so casual. He asks if it'll be dangerous, but Ant reassures the tabby tom, telling him that they know a safe route.
- Tigerheart glances at the small tom, skeptical, wondering if any route was safe. The group reaches the end of the alley, and ahead, a maze of Thunderpaths stretch. Monsters race down them, and the air is foul with their stench. Tigerheart is surprised when he sees a Thunderpath that arches over the others. The Thunderpath's legs plunge into the earth. Cinnamon points her muzzle to a green slope, that's beneath the huge Thunderpath, and tells Tigerheart that it was where the herbs were. He stares at the green patch, and asks how they could reach that.
- Fierce hurries along the side of a Thunderpath, while monsters whip past, tugging at Tigerheart's pelt. His ears tremble from their roaring, and is relieved when Fierce heads for a ditch. It has a gap beneath the ditch, and he realizes its a tunnel. The tortoiseshell she-cat heads into the hole, Cobweb, Ant, and Cinnamon following her. Excited now, Tigerheart squeezes into the darkness after his companions. The hole is small, no bigger then a badger run. The rounded walls echo with the sound of splashing water as they move forward. He wrinkles his nose as his paws feel slimy stone below him, along with the stench of ditch water. He is at least glad that they wouldn't have to cross the Thunderpath, because this was safer. Fierce leads them from one tunnel, to another, until they emerge on a green slope beneath the tall Thunderpath. Tigerheart looks up nervously at the stone path that arches over their heads; one wide leg was planted at the slope's top. Low bushes and grass grow against it, and the slope is dotted with scrubby plants, their leaves dusty from the Thunderpath. He asks if they taste bad, but Fierce informs Tigerheart the herbs are washed off before use.
- Cobweb hurries for the stone leg, and starts sniffing at one plant. He declares the willow herb is well, and Ant weaves around a dark green bush, announcing that the feverfew is ready for harvesting. Fierce glances around warily, mentioning the foxes, and Tigerheart tastes the air. He tries to catch a smell of the foxes amidst the monster stench, and when he does, the tom notices that it was fresh. He warns Fierce to stay together, and the tortoiseshell signals to Cobweb and Ant. She suggests they handle the fox problem first, before gathering the herbs, but Cobweb protests anxiously. He says it's already night-chill, and if they wait til ice-chill, the plants will die.
