Thunder (book)/Chapter 10

==Chapter description==
:Three days after leaving the moor, Frostpaw still distrusts Nightheart and wonders if he is the right cat to accompany her, as well as whether or not he is Reedwhisker's killer. Spotting a place to rest, Frostpaw tells Nightheart to hunt while she builds nests for them, but he worries about leaving her alone. With some convincing, he finally leaves, and Frostpaw ends up falling asleep and dreaming of a river. She is greeted by Riverstar, who says that she must follow her instincts. He refuses to tell her about her killer, as she is not yet ready to know, and tells her to follow a Thunderpath that has three stripes. She awakens as Nightheart returns to her side and gives her a rabbit to eat. Nightheart asks Frostpaw about her dream, having heard her talking the night before, and she offers short and avoidant answers. This frustrates Nightheart, who feels that Frostpaw is not telling him everything and does not trust him.
:Frostpaw is still reluctant to fully trust the ThunderClan warrior, but his consistent positivity finally convinces her to tell him that StarClan wants her to fix what is going on with RiverClan and to promise to inform him when she gains more information. Later, they reach a valley, and Frostpaw eagerly heads to a river to fish. They find a pile of fish, and despite Nightheart's wariness, she heads to the pile to snatch a salmon. Otters suddenly emerge from the river and one of them attacks Frostpaw, biting her leg, as does a second one. Nightheart pulls one of the otters away, and Frostpaw soon manages to fend off her otter. Nightheart struggles against his opponent, and the otter bites his leg, causing Frostpaw to pull it off of him. The otter finally retreats, and Frostpaw quickly leads Nightheart to a birch copse. She notices that his hind leg is badly wounded, and she is unsure how to help as Nightheart loses consciousness.
