Graypaw/Graystripe (Into the Wild)

## Chapter 1

"hhuuffff" (pg. 27)

"Hi there, kittypet!" (pg. 27)

"You put up quite a fight for a tame kitty!" (pg. 27)

"I'm Graypaw, by the way," (pg. 28)

"I'm training to be a ThunderClan warrior." (pg. 28)

"What's a kittypet like you doing out in the woods? Don't you know that it's dangerous?" (pg. 28)

"Oh, I'm far from the most dangerous. If I were even half a warrior, I'd have given an intruder like you some real wounds to think about." (pg. 28)

"Anyway," (pg. 28)

"I didn't think it was worth hurting you. You're obviously not from one of the other Clans." (pg. 28)

"You must have heard of the four warrior Clans that hunt around here! I belong to ThunderClan. The other Clans are always trying to steal prey from our territory, especially ShadowClan. *They're* so fierce they would have ripped you to shreds, no questions asked." (pg. 28-29)

"They come to take prey that is rightfully ours. It's the job of the ThunderClan warriors to keep them out of our territory. When I've finished my training, I'll be so dangerous, I'll have the other Clans shaking in their flea-bitten skins. They won't dare come near us then!" (pg. 29)

"Why? Did you think I was?" (pg. 29)

"I won't be a real warrior for ages. I have to go through the training first. Kits have to be siz moons old before they even *begin* training. Tonight is my first night out as an apprentice." (pg. 29)

"And they'd feed me pellets that look like rabbit droppings and soft slop!" (pg. 30)

"No way! I can't think of anything worse than being a *kittypet!* They're nothing but twoleg toys! Eating stuff that doesn't look like food, making dirt in a box of gravel, sticking their noses outside only when the twolegs allow them? That's no life! Out here it's wild, and it's free. We come and go as we please." (pg. 30)

"Until you've tasted a fresh-killed mouse, you haven't lived. Have you ever tasted mouse?" (pg. 30)

"I guess you'll never understand." (pg. 30)

"You weren't born wild. It makes a big difference. You need to be born with warrior blood in your veins, or the feel of the wind in your whiskers. Kitties born into Twoleg nests could never feel the same way." (pg. 30)

"I smell cats from my Clan," (pg. 30)

"You should go. They won't be pleased to find you hunting in our territory!" (pg. 30)

"Quick!" (pg. 31)

"Run!" (pg. 31)

"Bluestar!" (pg. 31)

"I know, Lionheart, I'm sorry." (pg. 31)

"He's no threat," (pg. 31)

"He's not another Clan warrior, just a Twoleg pet from beyond our territories." (pg. 32)

"This is Bluestar; she's *leader* of my Clan!" (pg. 32)

"And Lionheart. He's my mentor, which means he's training me to be a warrior." (pg. 32)

## Chapter 2

"But kittypets can't be warriors!" (pg. 37)

"They don't have warrior blood!" (pg. 37)

## Chapter 3

"Hey, Firepaw!" (pg. 54)

"Great fight, Firepaw!" (pg. 54)

"Especially for a kittypet! Longtail is a warrior, although he only finished his training two moons ago. That scar you left on his ear won't let him forget you in a hurry. You've spoiled his good looks, that's for sure." (pg. 54)

"Good name, too!" (pg. 55)

"I think he was heading toward Spottedleaf's den." (pg. 55)

"She's our medicine cat. Not bad-looking either. Younger and a lot prettier than most - " (pg. 55)

"Darkstripe," (pg. 55)

"Now Darkstripe," (pg. 55)

"is neither young, nor pretty. . . ." (pg. 55)

"Smallear smells trouble!" (pg. 56)

"That's Ravenpaw! Why is he alone? Where's Tigerclaw?" (pg. 56)

"Ravenpaw's an apprentice. Tigerclaw's his mentor," (pg. 56)

"Ravenpaw went out with Tigerclaw and Redtail at sunrise on a mission against RiverClan, the lucky furball!" (pg. 56)

"Bluestar's deputy," (pg. 56)

"But why on earth has Ravenpaw come back alone?" (pg. 56)

## Chapter 4

"Oakheart!" (pg. 58)

"He is the deputy of RiverClan. He's one of the greatest warriors in the forest. Lucky Ravenpaw! Wish it could have been me. I'd really - " (pg. 58)

"Redtail!" (pg. 60)

"His spirit may have left to join StarClan, but the Clan will share tongues with Redtail one last time." (pg. 61)

"It's the tribe of heavenly warriors that watches over all Clan cats. You can see them in Silverpelt." (pg. 61)

"Silverpelt is that tick band of stars you see each night stretching across the sky. Each star is a StarClan warrior. Redtail will be among them tonight." (pg. 61)

"Dustpaw will be sad," (pg. 62)

"Redtail's apprentice. That brown-striped tabby over there. I wonder who his new mentor will be?" (pg. 62)

"Probably the whole night," (pg. 62)

"Redtail was her deputy for many, many moons. She won't want to let him go too quickly. He was one of the best warriors. Not as big and powerful as Tigerclaw or Lionheart, but quick and clever." (pg. 62)

"Stopping the bleeding. It looks like a really nasty cut. And Ravenpaw seemed really shaken up. He's always been a bit jumpy, but I've never seen him this bad before. Let's go and see if he's woken up yet." (pg. 63)

"Too right!" (pg. 63)

"I know *I* wouldn't want to get into a fight with him!" (pg. 63)

"He's the new apprentice," (pg. 64)

"I don't think Tigerclaw *likes* any apprentices!" (pg. 65)

"Who? Tigerclaw?" (pg. 65)

"Yep, he's gone." (pg. 65)

"Come on then, Firepaw," (pg. 65)

"I'll show you around. See you later, Ravenpaw." (pg. 65)

"You know the Highrock already," (pg. 65)

"Bluestar always addresses the Clan from there. Her den is down there." (pg. 65)

"Her den was carved out many moons ago by an ancient stream." (pg. 66)

"The warriors sleep over here," (pg. 66)

"The senior warriors sleep nearest the center, where it's warmest," (pg. 66)

"They usually share their fresh-kill together over by that clump of nettles. The younger warriors eat nearby. Sometimes they are invited to join the senior warriors for eating, which is a big honor." (pg. 66)

"Well, the queens share warrior quarters when they work as warriors, but when they are expecting kits, or nursing them, they star in a nest near the nursery. The elders have their own place on the other side of the clearing. Come on, I'll show you." (pg. 66)

"Dustpaw and Sandpaw would have brought them that," (pg. 67)

"One of the apprentices' duties is catching fresh-kill for the elders." (pg. 67)

"Hello, Smallear," (pg. 67)

"Thank you," (pg. 67)

"You still haven't tasted mouse?" (pg. 68)

"In that case, you can have the first bite. Just save me some!" (pg. 68)

"What do you think?" (pg. 68)

"Move over then," (pg. 68)

"Probably because Lionheart has been a warrior longer, so he has a lot more experience," (pg. 70)

"No, only those who were closest to Redtail will share his final night. I'll show you where we sleep. The apprentices' den is over here." (pg. 71)

"All the apprentices share their fresh-kill by this stump," (pg. 71)

"Not as many as usual - just me, you, Ravenpaw, Dustpaw, and Sandpaw." (pg. 71)

"You'll have to excuse Sandpaw," (pg. 72)

"I think she must have a furball stuck somewhere. She's not usually bad-tempered." (pg. 72)

## Chapter 5

"Hey, Firepaw, wake up!" (pg. 74)

"Training begins at sunrise. Dustpaw and Sandpaw are already up," (pg. 74)

"I've just spoken to Lionheart. Ravenpaw won't be training with us till his wound is better. He'll probably stay at Spottedleaf's den for another day or two. Dustpaw and Sandpaw are on hunting duty. So Lionheart thought you and I could train with him and Tigerclaw this morning. We'd better hurry, though," (pg. 74-75)

"They'll be waiting!" (pg. 75)

"The Treecut place will be silent for a few moons more, until the time of greenleaf," (pg. 77)

"We're approaching RiverClan territory," (pg. 77)

"The Sunningrocks are over there." (pg. 77)

"It is where the territories of all four Clans meet," (pg. 78)

"There are four great oaks there, as old as the Clans - " (pg. 78)

"And ShadowClan holds power over there, in the darkest part of the forest," (pg. 79)

"The elders say that the cold winds from the north blow over the ShadowClan cats and chill their hearts." (pg. 79)

"Scared me too the first time," (pg. 82)

"But at least it helps to keep ShadowClan warriors from crossing into our territory. The Thunderpath runs for many pawsteps along our boundary line. And don't worry; those monsters never seem to leave the Thunderpath. You'll be fine as long as you don't go too near." (pg. 82)

"Are you two still on hunting duty?" (pg. 83)

"Never mind. We've been patrolling our territory borders. You'll be glad to know all is safe." (pg. 83)

"They didn't even dare to show their faces," (pg. 84)

"Not yet," (pg. 85)

"But it won't be long now; just you wait. All the apprentices get to go sometime." (pg. 85)

"You'll hear all about it later, if I know those two," (pg. 85)

"Cheer up, Ravenpaw!" (pg. 85)

"I know you don't like training, but you're not usually this miserable!" (pg. 85)

"Tigerclaw's a bit grumpy today," (pg. 86)

"Because a rabbit will smell you before he sees you, but a mouse will feel your pawsteps through the ground before he even smells you." (pg. 86)

"Well, *I'm* more lopsided than a one-legged badger," (pg. 88)

"I think I'll have to settle for hunting stupid mice. They won't stand a chance. I'll just wander up to them and sit on them till they surrender." (pg. 88)

## Chapter 6

"Wa-ah! What'sat?" (pg. 94)

"Ambush! Murr-oww!" (pg. 94)

"It felt like it!" (pg. 94)

"You've raked me to shreds!" (pg. 94)

"Creeping up!" (pg. 94)

"That was my best stealth crouch." (pg. 95)

"I'll show you lopsided!" (pg. 95)

"You gave up too easily!" (pg. 95)

"So how're you getting on with your task?" (pg. 95)

"Oh, sorry," (pg. 96)

"Yeah, but there's plenty of time. I was going to do a little hunting first. I'm starving!" (pg. 96)

"I bet Dustpaw and Sandpaw used to swallow a shrew or two when they were on hunting duty," (pg. 96)

"And you want to do it right; I know." (pg. 96)

"She wants the patrol to wait at the Great Sycamore until she joins them at sunhigh. Seems that some ShadowClan cats have been prowling around. Bluestar wants to check things out." (pg. 96)

"The WindClan hunting grounds aren't too far away from here. There's plenty of time," (pg. 96)

"And I suppose I should help out after loosing you that vole." (pg. 96-97)

"True. But you still have to catch them." (pg. 97)

"You know, that could take you until way past sunhigh, maybe even until sunset." (pg. 97)

"Come on; I'll help you get started. I owe you that, at least. We should be able to catch a couple of voles before I have to get going." (pg. 97)

"Fox. Yeah, I smelled it earlier." (pg. 97)

"You're right," (pg. 97)

"Look!" (pg. 98)

"You can say that again!" (pg. 98)

"More likely it was following you, you idiot!" (pg. 98)

"Never trust a fox. Looks like a dog. behaves like a cat. We must warn the queens that one has strayed into our territory. Foxes are as bad as badgers when it comes to killing young kits. I'm just glad you didn't catch up with the one you saw last time. He'd have made mousemeat out of a tiny scrap like you." (pg. 98)

"You'd stand a better chance these days though. Anyway, Bluestar will probably send a warrior patrol to scare it off. Put the queens' minds at rest." (pg. 98)

"Black and white, short legs. You'll know one when you meet one. They're bad-tempered, lumbering animals. They're less likely to raid the nursery than a fox, but they a vicious bite. How do you think old Halftail earned his name? He hasn't been able to climb a tree since a badger bit his tail off!" (pg. 98-99)

"Scared of falling. A cat needs his tail if he wants to land on his feet. It helps him spin in midair." (pg. 99)

"Lost it!" (pg. 99)

"Yuck!" (pg. 100)

"Those monsters really stink!" (pg. 100)

"Hey! Where are you going?" (pg. 100)

"Firepaw!" (pg. 100)

"You mouse-brained fool!" (pg. 101)

"What were you doing?" (pg. 101)

"Come one," (pg. 101)

"let's get out of here!" (pg. 101)

"A ShadowClan warrior!" (pg. 101)

"Really?" (pg. 101)

"Well it's a good thing that monster came past when it did," (pg. 101)

"Where there's one ShadowClan warrior there's more , and we're no match for them yet, We'd better get out of here." (pg. 101)

"I'd better get a move on if I want to meet that patrol on time," (pg. 101)

"See you later." (pg. 101)

"You never know; Lionheart might let me come and help you with the hunting once I've delivered this message." (pg. 101)

## Chapter 8

"Hi, Firepaw!" (pg. 114)

"A bit. Apparently she was a warrior before she became a medicine cat, which is unusual. I can't imagine her as a *loner,* though. She has lived her whole life in ShadowClan." (pg. 116)

"A loner is a cat that isn't part of a Clan or cared by Twolegs. Tigerclaw says they are untrustworthy and selfish. They often live around Twoleg dwellings, but belong to no one and catch their own food." (pg. 116)

"Bluestar is very fair," (pg. 116)

"She won't throw you out. She certainly seems pleased to have such an important ShadowClan cat as a prisoner. I'm sure she's not going to make a fuss about your feeding the poor old mange-bag." (pg. 116)

"Well, yeah." (pg. 116)

"That *was* mouse-brained. You really broke the warrior code there, but no cat is perfect!" (pg. 116)

"Has Bluestar mentioned your punishment yet?" (pg. 121)

"Come on," (pg. 121)

"What an honor! It's been *moons* since Bluestar had an apprentice. Usually she trains only the kits of deputies!" (pg. 124)

"Yeah!" (pg. 125)

"And some of hem are bigger than others!" (pg. 125)

"Friendly, isn't she?" (pg. 125)

## Chapter 9

"I'd go and see Yellowfang, if I were you," (pg. 127)

"She's doesn't look very happy." (pg. 127)

"You'll need the whole of StarClan on your side for this one," (pg. 127)

"Call out if you need a hand. If she looks like she's going to get you, I'll sneak up behind her and whack her on the head with a stiff rabbit." (pg. 127)

"Don't worry, Firepaw," (pg. 132)

"Bluestar will have you back in training before long." (pg. 133)

"Lionheart's taking me to the Great Sycamore," (pg. 133)

"to practice my climbing. I'd best go. He'll be waiting." (pg. 133)

"What are you doing in there?" (pg. 139)

"They've gone to join the next patrol," (pg. 140)

"They ordered us to spend the rest of the afternoon hunting." (pg. 140)

"Yeah," (pg. 140)

"And we've still got the rest of the afternoon to hunt. Do you want to join us?" (pg. 140)

"Good," (pg. 141)

"Peace and quiet." (pg. 141)

"Hey! Guess what!" (pg. 142)

"Ravenpaw managed to squeeze a compliment out of old Tigerclaw this morning!" (pg. 142)

"But it was huge," (pg. 142)

"Even Tigerclaw couldn't find fault with that! He's been in such a bad mood since Bluestar took you on as her apprentice." (pg. 142)

"Hang on, make that since Lionheart was made deputy." (pg. 142)

"You wait here," (pg. 142)

"I'll take her something." (pg. 142)

"No one will notice," (pg. 142)

"They're all busy eating. You know me: quiet as a mouse, quick as a fish. Wait here." (pg. 142)

"Umm . . ." (pg. 143)

"I, er, I was just feeling hungry. I was going to take them off and eat them by myself. If I let that pair get a look in" (pg. 143)

"they'll leave me with nothing but bones and fur." (pg. 143)

"But - " (pg. 143)

"Much," (pg. 144)

"Mrr-ow-ow," (pg. 144)

"I've eaten too much!" (pg. 144)

"I hope so," (pg. 144)

## Chapter 10

"So, you're joining us today!" (pg. 149)

"Some day, huh?" (pg. 149)

"Whitestorm and Darkstripe took them out on warrior patrol. I suppose Tigerclaw is going to look at them later," (pg. 149)

"Fine by me," (pg. 149)

"Hopefully some exercise will warm me up a bit!" (pg. 149)

"For goodness' sake, sit down," (pg. 150)

"At this rate, You'll be worn out before we begin!" (pg. 150)

"Great," (pg. 150)

"Wet paws for me!" (pg. 150)

"I don't know why he thinks Snakerocks is an easy route!" (pg. 151)

"The place is crawling with adders. Birds and mice stay away from there because there are so many snakes!" (pg. 151)

"Oh, he'll be okay," (pg. 151)

"Not even an adder would be fast enough to catch Ravenpaw at the moment, he's so jumpy. I'd better get going. See you back here later on. Good luck!" (pg. 151)

## Chapter 11

"Yuck!" (pg. 158)

"Squirrels are too furry. I'll be picking hairs out of my teeth all evening." (pg. 158)

"Hey!" (pg. 159)

"Did that bite you?" (pg. 159)

"An *adder*!" (pg. 160)

"Can you eat adders?" (pg. 160)

"Let's put it on the tree stump, then," (pg. 161)

"so that Dustpaw and Sandpaw can see it when they get back." (pg. 161)

"Sandpaw and Dustpaw have been twice already," (pg. 161)

"Well?" (pg. 164)

"What did she say?" (pg. 164)

"Of course he doesn't!" (pg. 165)

"What?" (pg. 165)

"Are Sandpaw and Dustpaw coming too?" (pg. 166)

"Oh, let me tell them!" (pg. 166)

"I can't wait to see the looks on their faces!" (pg. 166)

"That was just bad luck," (pg. 166)

"We all caught a load of prey in the assessment. That must be what decided it." (pg. 166)

"It'll be fantastic," (pg. 166)

"I bet all the great warriors will be there. Clawface, Stonefur . . ." (pg. 166)

## Chapter 12

"There's Crookedstar!" (pg. 169)

"RiverClan's leader." (pg. 169)

"That light-colored tabby, beside the Great rock." (pg. 169)

"Hey!" (pg. 169)

"Did you see Sandpaw spit when I told her I hoped she had a nice evening at home?" (pg. 169)

"Yeah," (pg. 170)

"He's certainly got a reputation among all the Clans for not suffering fools gladly. And he's not been leader that long - four moons, ever since his father, Raggedstar, died." (pg. 170)

"Tallstar? I've never seen him, but I know he's black and white with a very long tail," (pg. 170)

"Nope!" (pg. 170)

"No." (pg. 170)

"But what if they don't turn up at all?" (pg. 170)

"It must be Blackfoot," (pg. 171)

"ShadowClan's new deputy." (pg. 171)

"And don't say too much," (pg. 172)

"Well, I'm going to find Lionheart," (pg. 172)

"You coming, Ravenpaw?" (pg. 172)

"The meeting hasn't begun yet; they may still come," (pg. 173)

"Look, there's Runningnose. He's the new ShadowClan medicine cat, apparently." (pg. 173-174)

"Yep," (pg. 174)

"I can't see why they appointed him when he can't even cure his own cold!" (pg. 174)

"TigerClan is one of the great cat Clans that used to roam the forest," (pg. 175)

"TigerClan is cats of the night, big as horses, with jet-black stripes. Then there is LionClan. They're . . ." (pg. 175)

"And then there is the other one, SpottyClan or something like that. . . ." (pg. 175)

"Lionheart!" (pg. 175)

"Sorry, Lionheart," (pg. 176)

"Come on," (pg. 176)

"Let's see where Ravenpaw's gotten to." (pg. 176)

"Who would have thought Ravenpaw was such a good story-teller," (pg. 177)

"If who did what?" (pg. 177)

"I don't know," (pg. 179)

"Well, at least that's something," (pg. 182)

"We'll show them we're not as soft as that yellow-bellied RiverClan." (pg. 182)

"What do you think of all that?" (pg. 184)

## Chapter 13

"You went to warn Yellowfang, didn't you?" (pg. 189)

"Wait, Firepaw," (pg. 190)

"Let Bluestar deal with this." (pg. 190)

"It's a rock deep underground that shines in the dark," (pg. 193)

"All Clan leaders have to spend one night at the Moonstone when they are the first chosen. There, the spirits of StarClan share with them." (pg. 193)

"I don't know," (pg. 193)

"I know only that the new leaders have to sleep near the stone, and as they sleep, they have special dreams. After that, they have the gift of nine lives, and take the name 'star.'" (pg. 193)

"It's like Longtail said. Brokenstar demanded hunting rights. . . ." (pg. 193)

"What's that?" (pg. 194)

"Well, I just hope these herbs don't taste too revolting!" (pg. 196)

"Beyond Clan territory, at a place called Highstones. It lies deep underground, in a cave we call Mothermouth." (pg. 197)

"No, but all apprentices have to make the journey there before they become warriors." (pg. 197)

"Don't get your hopes up. We still have to finish our training!" (pg. 197)

## Chapter 14

"Ugh!" (pg. 199)

"I knew they'd be bitter. Why couldn't we eat a fat, juicy mouse instead?" (pg. 199)

"I will always remember, Lionheart," (pg. 200)

"Yes," (pg. 202)

"It runs up from ShadowClan territory. Can you see Highstones behind it?" (pg. 202)

"Yep," (pg. 203)

"I thought you were fresh-kill!" (pg. 205)

## Chapter 16

"He wanted to check that we were still guarding the entrance," (pg. 216)

"Why?" (pg. 216)

"Only that damp old cave," (pg. 216)

"He wasn't the only one!" (pg. 216)

"Just that fur on your neck stands up whenever you see him these days," (pg. 216)

"You nearly jumped out of your skin when he came out of the cave." (pg. 216)

"I suppose so," (pg. 216)

"So what was it like inside, Firepaw?" (pg. 216)

"Did you see the Moonstone?" (pg. 217)

"So it's true! The rock really does shine underground." (pg. 217)

"It's a loner!" (pg. 217)

## Chapter 17

"I can still smell the stench of ShadowClan," (pg. 227)

"He's gone!" (pg. 233)

## Chapter 18

"Let's go and help him," (pg. 242)

"How's Yellowfang?" (pg. 245)

"Wild garlic?" (pg. 245)

"I wouldn't mind trying that. My leg still stings." (pg. 245)

"We'll cover for you," (pg. 245)

## Chapter 19

"Never mind," (pg. 248)

"We can get some tomorrow." (pg. 248)

"No, don't worry," (pg. 248)

"I'll be fine." (pg. 248)

## Chapter 20

"Not back from his task yet," (pg. 260)

"Look at that!" (pg. 260)

"Tigerclaw sent me fishing and I stepped on a sharp stone in the stream." (pg. 260)

"Dunno, I was up to my belly in cold water," (pg. 260)

"Hi!" (pg. 265)

"Spottedleaf put some gunk on my cut and made me lie still for hours. I must've fallen asleep. By the way, I hope that chaffinch out there was for me; I was starving!" (pg. 265)

"Come on, Firepaw," (pg. 265)

"Brindleface has had her kits; let's go and visit them." (pg. 265)

"Stop showing off!" (pg. 265)

"They're really cute," (pg. 267)

"But I'm starving now. I'm off to find some fresh-kill. I'll save some for you if I find any!" (pg. 267)

## Chapter 21

"Firepaw!" (pg. 279)

"I've been looking for you!" (pg. 279)

"Where are you going?" (pg. 279)

"On your own?" (pg. 280)

"What?" (pg. 280)

"Why *you*?" (pg. 280)

"Wouldn't a party of warriors stand more of a chance?" (pg. 280)

"Tigerclaw's the best tracker in the Clan, and if anyone could bring her back, *he* could." (pg. 280)

"What do you mean?" (pg. 280)
