Graystripe (Forest of Secrets)

## Chapter 1

"What on earth are you doing? Picking fights with Tigerclaw like that! He'll turn you into crow-food!" (pg. 25)

"I'm sorry, Fireheart. I know this is all because of me and Silverstream-" (pg. 25)

"The battle wasn't just greed for territory. Prey is scarcer than usual - RiverClan are starving since the twolegs moved into their territory." (pg. 27)

"What's the matter?" (pg. 28)

"I don't blame you. If Tigerclaw ever found out about Silverstream . . ." (pg. 28)

"But what can you do?" (pg. 29)

"But Ravenpaw lives at the Twoleg farm now. You'd have to go all the way across WindClan territory. How would you explain being out of the camp for so long? It would only make Tigerclaw's lies seem like the truth." (pg. 29)

"You're taking a big risk. But Tigerclaw is my problem too. If you're determined to go, then I'm coming with you." (pg. 29)

"Don't worry," (pg. 31)

"There you are!" (pg. 38)

"To go and see Ravenpaw, you mean?" (pg. 38)

"Yes, I'm ready. I can't say I'm looking forward to it. Still, anything to get Tigerclaw out of my fur - unless you've had a better idea?" (pg. 38)

## Chapter 2

"Smell anything?" (pg. 40)

"It's good to see *you*," (pg. 41)

"Hunt? Really?" (pg. 42)

"Why didn't he?" (pg. 43)

*"What?* That doesn't make sense. Are you sure you heard him right?*"* (pg. 44)

"So what did Redtail do after Oakheart said that?" (pg. 44)

"And was that when-" (pg. 45)

"That still doesn't *prove* that Tigerclaw killed Redtail. I don't see that any of this helps us at all." (pg. 45)

"Just a minute. Ravenpaw, at the Gathering you didn't say anything about falling rocks. You made it sound as if Redtail killed Oakheart." (pg. 46)

"If she listens. It's a pity you told her Ravenpaw's first story. Now he's changed everything, she won't know what to believe." (pg. 47)

"It's freezing out here! We should have taken a couple more of those mice to feed the Clan," (pg. 47)

"What? Know what?" (pg. 48)

"Yes, the marks on his body would prove it," (pg. 49)

"But you can't just walk into the RiverClan camp and ask. Think of how tense it was at the Gathering - it's too soon after the battle." (pg. 49)

"If you mean Silverstream, yes, I could ask her. Now, can we please get back to the camp before my paws freeze completely?" (pg. 49)

"I reckon it was an old scent. Nothing to worry about. We're sorry we crossed your border." (pg. 50)

"Why? The WindClan cats didn't mind us on their territory. We're all friends now." (pg. 51)

"Mouse dung! I never thought of that. Bluestar won't like it if she finds out we're sneaking around investigating Tigerclaw." (pg. 51)

"Nothing. Not a single mouse - not even a whisker!" (pg. 51)

"Move, you big furball!" (pg. 52)

## Chapter 3

"But we couldn't find anything," (pg. 53)

"We weren't on a hunting patrol," (pg. 54)

"I thought she'd have our tails off for sure!" (pg. 55)

"Fireheart, you're either the bravest cat in all the Clans, or raving mad! For StarClan's sake, don't wind Tigerclaw up any more." (pg. 56)

"Fireheart! Fireheart!" (pg. 59)

"Fireheart. Wake up. It's nearly sunhigh." (pg. 59)

"You were muttering in your sleep. Are you okay?" (pg. 59)

"It's nearly sunhigh. We should be out hunting." (pg. 59-60)

"Hurry up, then. Meet you at the gorse tunnel." (pg. 60)

## Chapter 4

"With any luck, the sun will bring some prey out." (pg. 61)

"I can smell RiverClan cats. But the scent's old. I think we can cross safely." (pg. 66)

"We must both be mad. You made me promise to meet Silverstream's at Fourtrees whenever I wanted to see her, and now here we are, in RiverClan territory again." (pg. 67)

"Not far. See that island up ahead?" (pg. 68)

"Silverstream says the water's very shallow there. But I've never been right into the camp myself." (pg. 68)

"We can see the entrance of the camp from here. I used to wait here for Silverstream." (pg. 69)

"Silverstream!" (pg. 70)

"Hunting patrol," (pg. 70)

"Silverstream!" (pg. 71)

"I brought Fireheart to see you. He needs to ask you something." (pg. 71)

"Isn't she *great*?" (pg. 72)

"If you two are going to talk, Silverstream and I will leave you to it." (pg. 74)

"Oh, Fireheart, before you go back, make sure you roll in something strong, to hide the RiverClan scent. Fox dung is good." (pg. 74)

## Chapter 5

"It's all arranged. If it's sunny tomorrow, Silverstream and Mistyfoot will persuade Graypool to leave the camp for some exercise. They'll meet us at sunhigh." (pg. 83)

"There's a quiet glade just over the border, not far from the Twoleg bridge. Silverstream and I used to meet there, before, you know . . ." (pg. 83)

"This is the place," (pg. 84)

"We're here." (pg. 86)

## Chapter 10

"I can't smell any. Besides, they'll have plenty of prey now that the river's unfrozen. Why should they come and steal ours?" (pg. 139)

## Chapter 11

"Fireheart, I *have* to see Silverstream. I have to be sure she's okay." (pg. 145)

"I'll manage. It's only water." (pg. 145)

"But you-" (pg. 146)

"Thanks, Fireheart. I won't forget this." (pg. 146)

"Let's head downstream. We might be able to use the stepping stones." (pg. 147)

"There. Fireheart, they'll drown!" (pg. 147)

"Fireheart . . ." (pg. 148)

"Fireheart! Fireheart, here!" (pg. 150)

## Chapter 12

"No!" (pg. 151)

"They're alive!" (pg. 152)

"Do you think we can get across?" (pg. 152)

"Keep still, both of you. We're going to find your mother." (pg. 153)

"The river water tastes foul." (pg. 155)

"Do you think we nearly drowned ourselves just for fun?" (pg. 156)

"What?" (pg. 162)

"And I'll help too," (pg. 163)

"Hunting for another Clan? We must be mad." (pg. 163)

"No! But we'll have to be careful. We'll be crow-food if Bluestar finds out." (pg. 163)
