Bluestar (Into the Wild)

## Prologue

"How is Mousefur?" (pg. 17)

"And the others?" (pg. 17)

"We are lucky to not have lost any of our warriors this time. You are a gifted medicine cat, Spottedleaf. I am deeply troubled by tonight's defeat. ThunderClan has not been beaten in its own territory since I became leader. These are difficult times for our Clan. The season of newleaf is late, and there have been fewer kits. ThunderClan needs more warriors if it is to survive." (pg. 17-18)

"Perhaps. But training our young to become warriors takes times. If ThunderClan is to defend its territory, it must have new warriors as soon as possible." (pg. 18)

"It is at times like this we need the words of ancient warriors to help us. Has StarClan spoken to you?" (pg. 18)

"Fire? But fire is feared by all the Clans! How can it save us?" (pg. 18)

"You have never been wrong before, Spottedleaf. If StarClan has spoken, then it must be so. Fire will save our Clan." (pg. 19)

## Chapter 1

"What's going on here?" (pg. 31)

"Who is this?" (pg. 31)

"You fight well for a Twoleg pet," (pg. 32)

"We have been watching you both," (pg. 32)

"We wondered how you would deal with an intruder, Graypaw. You attacked him bravely." (pg. 32)

"Sit up now, both of you!" (pg. 32)

"You too, kittypet." (pg. 32)

"You reacted well to the attack, kittypet. Graypaw is stronger than you, but you used your wits to defend yourself. And you turned to face him when he chased you. I've not seen a kittypet do that before." (pg. 32-33)

"I have been wondering how you would perform out here, beyond the Twolegplace. We patrol this border frequently, so I have often seen you sitting on your boundary, staring out into the forest. And now, at last, you have dared to place your paws here." (pg. 33)

"You do seem to have a natural hunting ability. Sharp eyes. You would have caught that mouse if you had not hesitated so long." (pg. 33)

"There's never enough to go around," (pg. 33-34)

"If you didn't live such a soft, overfed life, you would know that!" (pg. 34)

## Chapter 2

"Well?" (pg. 35)

"You threaten our Clan when you take our food," (pg. 35)

"You have plenty of food in your Twoleg nest already. You come here only to hunt for sport. But we hunt to survive." (pg. 35)

"You are an unusual kittypet, Rusty" (pg. 36)

"Our territory covers only a part of the forest," (pg. 36)

"We compete with other Clans for what we have. And this year, late newleaf means prey is scarce." (pg. 36)

"Big enough," (pg. 36)

"Our territory can support us, but there is no prey left over." (pg. 36)

"Perhaps you should find out these things for yourself. Would you like to join ThunderClan?" (pg. 36-37)

"If you did, you would train with Graypaw to become a Clan warrior." (pg. 37)

"Warrior blood," (pg. 37)

"Too much of that has been spilled lately." (pg. 37)

"You are right to question our motives, young one. The fact is, ThunderClan needs more warriors." (pg. 37)

"Are you wondering if it's worth giving up your comfortable kittypet life?" (pg. 38)

"But do you realize the price you will pay for your warmth and food?" (pg. 38)

"I can tell that you are still a tom," (pg. 38)

"despite the Twoleg stench that clings to your fur." (pg. 38)

"You haven't yet been taken by the Twolegs to see the Cutter," (pg. 38)

"You would be a very different cat then. Not quite so keen to fight a Clan cat, I suspect!" (pg. 38)

"The Clan may not be able to offer you such easy food or warmth." (pg. 38)

"In the season of leaf-bare, nights in the forest can be cruel. The Clan will demand great loyalty and hard work. You will be expected to protect the Clan with your life if necessary. And there are many mouths to feed. But the rewards are great. You will remain a tom. You will be trained in the ways of the wild. You will learn what it is to be a real cat. The strength and the fellowship of the Clan will always be with you, even when you hunt alone." (pg. 38-39)

"Lionheart will be here tomorrow at sunhigh," (pg. 39)

"Give him your answer then." (pg. 39)

## Chapter 3

"He came," (pg. 49)

"Well, what do you think of him?" (pg. 49)

"So it is agreed?" (pg. 49)

"Then I shall announce his arrival to the Clan." (pg. 49)

"Let all those cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath the highrock for a Clan meeting." (pg. 49)

"ThunderClan needs more warriors," (pg. 50)

"Never before have we had so few apprentices in training. It has been decided that ThunderClan will take in an outsider to train as a warrior. . . ." (pg. 50)

"I have found a cat who is willing to become an apprentice of ThunderClan." (pg. 50)

"Lionheart an Whitestorm have met this young cat, and they agree with me that we should train him with the other apprentices." (pg. 50)

"The newcomer has lost his Twoleg collar in a battle for his honor. StarClan has spoken its approval - this cat has been released from the hold of Twoleg owners, and is free to join ThunderClan as an apprentice." (pg. 53)

"You look like a brand of fire in this sunlight," (pg. 54)

"You fought well." (pg. 54)

"From this day forward, until he has earned his warrior name, this apprentice will be called Firepaw, in honor of his flame-colored coat." (pg. 54)

"Ravenpaw?" (pg. 56)

"What has happened?" (pg. 57)

"Speak, Ravenpaw!" (pg. 57)

## Chapter 4

"How did this happen, Tigerclaw?" (pg. 60)

"Redtail was a brave warrior. His loyalty to ThunderClan could never be doubted. I always relied on his judgement, for it bore witness to the needs of the Clan, and was never swayed by self-interest or pride. He would have made a fine leader." (pg. 61)

"A new deputy must be appointed," (pg. 69)

"But first, let us give thanks to StarClan for the life of Redtail. Tonight he sits with his fellow warriors among the stars." (pg. 69)

"And now I shall name ThunderClan's new deputy," (pg. 69-70)

"I say these words before the body of Redtail, so that his spirit may hear and approve my choice." (pg. 70)

"Lionheart," (chapter 4, pg. 70)

"will be the new deputy of ThunderClan." (pg. 70)

"Redtail was also mentor to young Dustpaw. Since there must be no delay in the training of apprentices, I shall appoint a Dustpaw's new mentor immediately. Darkstripe, you are ready for your first apprentice, so you will continue Dustpaw's training. You had a fine mentor in Tigerclaw, and I expect you to pass on some of the excellent skills you were taught." (pg. 70)

"I shall keep a vigil with Redtail's body tonight, before we bury him at sunrise." (pg. 71)

## Chapter 8

"Firepaw?" (pg. 114)

"What have we here? An enemy warrior - recently fed, by the smell of you both." (pg. 114)

"And what about you? Was your hunger so bad that you had to feed yourself before you gathered prey for your Clan?" (pg. 114)

"I assume that you have a *very* good reason for breaking the warrior code?" (pg. 114)

"Well, well, Firepaw! It seems you have captured us a ShadowClan cat. And one I know well. You are ShadowClan's medicine cat aren't you?" (pg. 114)

"What are you doing so far into ThunderClan territory?" (pg. 114)

"Keep your claws in, Darkstripe," (pg. 115)

"All the Clans speak of Yellowfang's bravery and wisdom. It may help us to hear what she has to say. Come; we'll take her back to camp. Then we'll decide what to do with her - and with Firepaw. Can you walk?" (pg. 115)

"Or do you need help?" (pg. 115)

"Calm down, Tigerclaw," (pg. 118)

"Why should we move? Yellowfang says that she is traveling alone now. There is no reason for ShadowClan to hear of it." (pg. 118-119)

"But think for a moment, Tigerclaw," (pg. 119)

"Why would the ShadowClan medicine cat choose to leave her Clan? You seem to be afraid that Yellowfang will share our Clan secrets with ShadowClan, but have you thought about how many ShadowClan secrets she might share with *us*?" (pg. 119)

"Frostfur!" (pg. 119)

"One of our apprentices has seen a fox in the area. Warn the other queens to guard the nursery carefully. And make sure all kits less than six moons stay inside the camp until our warriors have driven it away." (pg. 120)

"Do as he says." (pg. 120)

"Let all those cats old enough to catch their own prey join together for a meeting of our Clan." (pg. 121)

"I'm sure you all have heard about the prisoner we brought back with us today," (pg. 122)

"But there is something else you need to know." (pg. 122)

"Can you hear me from there?" (pg. 122)

"I'm afraid I have some very grave news. Today I traveled with a patrol into WindClan territory. The air was filled with the scent of ShadowClan. Almost every tree had been sprayed by ShadowClan warriors. And we met no WindClan cats even though we journeyed deep into their heartland." (pg. 122)

"We can't be sure," (pg. 122)

"Certainly the scent of ShadowClan was everywhere. We found blood, too, and fur. There must have been a battle, though we found no bodies from either Clan." (pg. 122)

"I don't know the answers to any of your questions," (pg. 123)

"It is well known that ShadowClan has recently appointed a new leader, following the death of Raggedstar. Their new leader, Brokenstar, gave no hint of any threat when we met him at the last gathering." (pg. 123)

"Stop!" (pg. 123)

"That's enough!" (pg. 123)

"This situation is too serious for us to be fighting among ourselves. ThunderClan must prepare itself. From this moonrise onward, warriors will travel in larger groups. Other Clan members will remain close to the camp. Patrols will travel the boundary edges more frequently, and all the kits must stay in the nursery." (pg. 123-124)

"Our need for warriors is our greatest obstacle. We shall get around this by speeding up the training of our apprentices. They need to be ready even sooner to fight for our Clan." (pg. 124)

"One young cat has been sharing mentors with Graypaw and Ravenpaw. By teaching him, I shall speed up the training of all three apprentices." (pg. 124)

"I shall take on Firepaw as my own apprentice." (pg. 124)

"Firepaw is my apprentice now. I will deal with him," (pg. 124)

"Yellowfang will be allowed to stay here until she has recovered her strength. We are warriors, not savages. She is to be treated with respect and courtesy." (pg. 125)

"We shall kill two prey with one blow, as it were. Firepaw, as punishment for breaking the warrior code, it will be your responsibility to care for Yellowfang. You will fetch fresh bedding and clear away her dirt." (pg. 125)

"Enough!" (pg. 125)

"I hope Firepaw will find no shame in caring for Yellowfang. She is a healer, and she is his elder. For those reasons alone he should respect her!" (pg. 126)

"And there is no humiliation in caring for another cat when she is unable to take care of herself. The meeting is over. I would like to speak to my senior warriors alone now." (pg. 126)

## Chapter 10

"How is Yellowfang today?" (pg. 148)

"I'll ask one of the queens to see to that." (pg. 148)

"Is she fit enough to hunt for herself yet?" (pg. 148)

"I see," (pg. 148)

"It is time for you to return to your training, Firepaw. But you'll need to work hard to make up for time you have lost." (pg. 148)

"You will go out with Tigerclaw, Graypaw, and Ravenpaw this morning," (pg. 148)

"I've asked Tigerclaw to assess the warrior skills of all our apprentices. Don't worry about Yellowfang; I'll make sure someone sees to her while you are gone." (pg. 148)

"Now, join your companions," (pg. 148)

"I expect they're waiting for you." (pg. 148)

## Chapter 11

"Tigerclaw has told me that he saw you talking with a cat from the Twolegplace today," (pg. 162)

"He said that you began fighting with this cat but ended up sharing tongues with it." (pg. 162)

"Do you miss your old life, Firepaw?" (pg. 162)

"Think carefully, now." (pg. 162)

"Do you wish to leave the Clan?" (pg. 162)

"I won't judge you if you leave us, Firepaw. Perhaps I expected too much of you. Perhaps my judgement has been clouded by the Clan's need for new warriors." (pg. 162)

"I need more than that, Firepaw. I need to be able to trust in your loyalty to ThunderClan, especially now that it looks like ShadowClan is planning an attack. We don't have room for anyone who isn't sure whether their heart lies in the past or the present." (pg. 163)

"Very well," (pg. 163)

"I believe you." (pg. 163)

"I spoke to Yellowfang earlier" (pg. 163)

"She thinks a lot of you. She's a wise old she-cat, you know. And I suspect she wasn't always bad-tempered. Indeed, I think that I could grow to like her." (pg. 163)

"But there is something about her that I don't trust," (pg. 164)

"She will stay with ThunderClan for now, but remain as prisoner. The queens will care for her. You must concentrate on your training." (pg. 164)

"Firepaw, although you showed bad judgment today in talking to a house cat, Tigerclaw *was* impressed by your hunting skills. In fact, he reported that you all did well. I am pleased with your progress. You will come to the Gathering - all three of you." (pg. 164)

"They will remain behind and guard the camp," (pg. 164)

"Now you may go." (pg. 164)

## Chapter 12

"Don't wast any of your time tonight," (pg. 172)

"This is a good opportunity to meet your enemies. Listen to them; remember what they look like and how they behave. There is a great deal to be learned from these meetings." (pg. 172)

"Cats of all Clans, welcome," (pg. 179)

"It is true that WindClan is not present, but Brokenstar wishes to speak anyway." (pg. 179)

"I have made no agreement with Brokenstar except that I shall discuss his proposal with my Clan after the Gathering." (pg. 182)

## Chapter 13

"Silence!" (pg. 190)

"What is going on?" (pg. 190)

"I gave no order to attack our prisoner." (pg. 190)

"Of course they are!" (pg. 191)

"And what has she done?" (pg. 191)

"Brokenstar said only that there is a rogue somewhere in the woods," (pg. 191)

"He did not mention Yellowfang by name. The kits are safe. For as long as she is in my Clan, Yellowfang will not be harmed in any way." (pg. 191)

"There is no need," (pg. 191)

"You have done nothing wrong. You will be safe here." (pg. 191)

"It is time we discussed the real threat to our Clan: Brokenstar. We have already begun to prepare for an attack by ShadowClan," (pg. 191)

"We'll carry on with those preparations, and patrol our borders more frequently. WindClan has gone. RiverClan was given hunting rights to ShadowClan warriors. ThunderClan stands alone against Brokenstar." (pg. 191-192)

"Clans have never shared hunting rights before," (pg. 192)

"They have always managed to support themselves in their own territories. There is no reason why this should change." (pg. 192)

"We must try. We will not give up our territory without a fight." (pg. 192)

"I shall travel to the Moonstone tomorrow," (pg. 192)

"The warriors of StarClan will give me the strength I need to lead ThunderClan through this dark time. You must all get some rest. We have a lot to do when daylight comes. I wish to talk with Lionheart now." (pg. 192)

## Chapter 14

"These herbs will keep your hunger at bay longer," (pg. 200)

"And they will make you strong. We have a long journey ahead of us." (pg. 200)

"I cannot eat if I'm going to share dreams with StarClan at the Moonstone tonight," (pg. 200)

"I know I can trust you to keep the camp safe," (pg. 200)

"All Clans are entitled to safe passage to the Moonstone, but ShadowClan seems to have no respect for the warrior code anymore, so be alert," (pg. 201)

"We mustn't hunt outside our territory, though. We'll follow the warrior code, even if ShadowClan doesn't." (pg. 201)

"They are upwind. They won't know we are here if we keep moving," (pg. 202)

"But we must hurry. If they move ahead they'll detect us. It's not far to the edge of WindClan territory now." (pg. 202)

"Come on!" (pg. 203)

"We can be there by moonrise as long as we keep up to pace." (pg. 203)

"No, Tigerclaw," (pg. 204)

"I will go first. Don't forget, this will be the first time of crossing for the apprentices. Let them see how it is done." (pg. 204)

"Do you want to rest before we go on?" (pg. 206)

"Look," (pg. 206)

"Mothermouth." (pg. 206)

"We'll wait here until the moon is higher," (pg. 207)

"You should hunt if you are hungry and then get some rest." (pg. 207)

"Come. It is time." (pg. 207)

## Chapter 15

"I will know the way," (pg. 209)

"Just follow my scent. Ravenpaw and Graypaw, you will remain on guard ouside. Firepaw, you will accompany me and Tigerclaw to the Moonstone." (pg. 209)

"We have entered the cavern of the Moonstone," (pg. 210)

"Wait here. It will be moonhigh soon." (pg. 210)

"Firepaw?" (pg. 211)

"It is all right, young warrior; don't be afraid," (pg. 211)

"I think Tigerclaw was surprised by the power of the Moonstone. In the world above, Tigerclaw is a fearless and mighty warrior, but down here, where the spirits of StarClan speak, a cat needs a different kind of strength. What do you feel, Firepaw?" (pg. 211-212)

"That is good," (pg. 212)

"Firepaw? Are you still there?" (pg. 213)

"Hurry," (pg. 213)

"We must return to camp." (pg. 213)

"Tigerclaw." (pg. 213)

"We must return to camp immediatly," (pg. 213)

## Chapter 16

"This is Barley," (pg. 217)

"He lives near this Twoleg nest." (pg. 217)

"I'm well, thank you," (pg. 218)

"And you, Barley? How's the prey been running since we last passed this way?" (pg. 218)

"I don't like to be away from my Clan too long," (pg. 218)

"We are grateful to you for the warning," (pg. 218)

"Thank you, Barley. Until next time . . ." (pg. 218)

"Come," (pg. 219)

"Would you rather face those dogs?" (pg. 219)

"They may be untied now. We're going this way," (pg. 219)

"It's all right," (pg. 223)

"I am still here. I have lost a life, but it wasn't my ninth." (pg. 223)

"Is everyone all right?" (pg. 224)

"If it had not been for Tigerclaw, those rats would've eaten me alive," (pg. 224)

"Barley?" (pg. 224)

"Is he here?" (pg. 224)

"And what do you think?" (pg. 224)

"No," (pg. 225)

"We must return to the camp." (pg. 225)

"Let's keep going." (pg. 225)

"That was my fifth," (pg. 225)

## Chapter 17

"Don't worry about ShadowClan warriors," (pg. 226)

"You won't find any here today." (pg. 226)

"Quick!" (pg. 227)

"It is as StarClan warned me. Our camp is being attacked!" (pg. 227)

"Spottedleaf is with Lionheart," (pg. 232)

"He was injured in the battle. It looks bad." (pg. 232)

"Oh, what am I going to do without you, Lionheart?" (pg. 233)

"It is nearly moonhigh," (pg. 234)

"And it is once more my duty - much, much too soon - to name ThunderClan's new deputy." (pg. 234)

"I say these words before the body of Lionheart, so that his spirit may hear and approve my choice." (pg. 235)

"I have not forgotten how one cat avenged the death of Redtail and brought his body back to us. ThunderClan needs this fearless loyalty even more now." (pg. 235)

"Tigerclaw will be the new deputy of ThunderClan." (pg. 235)

## Chapter 18

"Thank you, Tigerclaw, for your loyalty. But the Clan must understand that I am still here for them. No cat should hesitate to approach me, and I am happy to speak to anyone with or without my bodyguards." (pg. 240)

"As the warrior code says, the safety of the Clan is more important than the security of one member." (pg. 240)

"And now, I wish to invite Yellowfang to join ThunderClan." (pg. 240)

"Her actions last night proved that she is brave and loyal. If she wishes it, we would welcome her as a full member of this Clan." (pg. 240)

"Good," (pg. 240)

"Last night we successfully defended ourselves against, ShadowClan, but they are still a great threat. The repair work we began this morning will continue. Our boundaries will be patrolled constantly. We must not assume that the war is over." (pg. 240-241)

## Chapter 19

"Come," (pg. 252)

"I've ordered Darkstripe and Longtail to help with the camp repairs. Securing ThunderClan's base is our first priority." (pg. 252)

"I asked Tigerclaw to hold his training session in another part of the forest today," (pg. 253)

"I want to concentrate on your fighting skills, and I want *you* to concentrate on them too - which means no distractions." (pg. 253)

"Do I have your attention now?" (pg. 253-254)

"That's better. Firepaw, you have been with us for many moons now. I have watched you fight. With the rats you were quick; with the ShadowClan warriors you were fierce. You outwitted Graypaw on that very first day we met, and you defeated Yellowfang with your cleverness too." (pg. 254)

"But one day you will meet an opponent who is all of these things as well - quick and fierce and clever. It's my duty to pepare you for that day." (pg. 254)

"Let's see how you fight," (pg. 254)

"Attack me." (pg. 254)

"Interesting strategy, but your eyes betrayed where you were aiming," (pg. 255)

"Now, try again." (pg. 255)

"Now try something I don't expect," (pg. 255)

"Firepaw," (pg. 256)

"you're strong and quick, but you must learn to keep control of your speed and body weight so that it's not so easy for me to unbalance you. Try again." (pg. 256)

"That was much better," (pg. 256)

"Now it's my turn." (pg. 257)

"Look at my size, Firepaw! Don't try to stand up against my attack. Use your wits. If you are fast enough to avoid me, then avoid me!" (pg. 257)

"Excellent! You learn quickly," (pg. 257)

"But that was an easy move. Let's see how you deal with this one." (pg. 257)

"That's enough for today." (pg. 257)

## Chapter 20

"Firepaw," (pg. 267)

"Have you come to see ThunderClan's newest warriors?" (pg. 267)

"Well, when you've finished, come and see me in my den." (pg. 267)

"Come inside," (pg. 269)

"I think I'll be safe enough with young Firepaw," (pg. 269)

"Lovely they may be, but they mean more mouths to feed, and the season of leaf-bare will soon be here." (pg. 269)

"Oh, don't listen to me," (pg. 269)

"The first cold wind always worries me. Come; make yourself comfortable." (pg. 269)

"I'm still aching from our training session yesterday," (pg. 269)

"You fought well, young one." (pg. 269)

"I can still smell the stale stench of ShadowClan in the camp," (pg. 270)

"I hoped never to see the day when our enemy broke into the heart of ThunderClan." (pg. 270)

"And so many deaths." (pg. 270)

"First Redtail, then Lionheart. I thank StarClan at least the warriors we have left are strong and loyal like them. At least Tigerclaw as deputy, ThunderClan may still be able to defend itself." (pg. 270)

"There was a time, when Tigerclaw was a young warrior, that I feared for the strength of his passion. Such energy can need careful channeling. But now I am proud to see how much respect the Clan has for him. I know he is ambitious, but his ambition makes him one of the bravest cats I have ever had the honor to fight alongside." (pg. 270)

"You know Brokenstar will return. He made it clear at the Gathering that he wants hunting rights in all the territories." (pg. 271)

"That's true," (pg. 271)

"StarClan will honor your courage, young Firepaw." (pg. 271)

"I think you ought to know that, in the battle with the rats, it was not my fifth life that I lost, but my seventh." (pg. 271)

"I have to let the Clan believe it was my fifth because I don't want them to fear for my safety. But two more lives, and I will have to leave you to join StarClan." (pg. 271)

"I am tired now," (pg. 271)

"Off you go. And Firepaw, I don't expect you to repeat this conversation to anyone." (pg. 271)

"She has been killed by a warrior blow," (pg. 273)

## Chapter 21

"If Yellowfang has killed Spottedleaf and stolen Frostfur's kits, she will be hunted down without mercy." (pg. 275)

"But we must wait," (pg. 275)

"There is a storm coming, and I am not prepared to risk more lives. If ShadowClan has our kits, they will come to no immediate harm. I suspect Brokenstar wants them as recruits for his own Clan, or as hostages - to force us to let him hunt in our territory. As soon as the storm has passed, a patrol will follow Yellowfang and bring back our kits." (pg. 275)

"If we send out a hunting party now, our efforts will be wasted anyway. In this weather the scent will already be lost by the time we are ready. If we wait until after the storm, we stand a better chance of success." (pg. 275-276)

"I'd like to discuss our plans with you, please, Tigerclaw." (pg. 276)

"Firepaw," (pg. 276)

"where is Yellowfang? Do you know?" (pg. 277)

"Firepaw," (pg. 277)

"you must save your grieving for later." (pg. 277)

"I don't know," (pg. 277)

"I want you to find her and bring her back - alive. I need to know the truth." (pg. 277)

"Tigerclaw is a great warrior, but in this case his loyalty to the Clan may cloud his judgement," (pg. 277)

"He wants to give the Clan vengeance it desires. No cat can blame him for that. The Clan believes Yellowfang has betrayed us, and if Tigerclaw thinks he can reassure the Clan by handing them the dead body of Yellowfang, that's what he will do." (pg. 277)

"If I find that Yellowfang is a traitor, then I will kill her myself. But if she is not . . ." (pg. 277-278)

"I will not let an innocent cat die." (pg. 278)
