WInterrose meowed with gritted teeth. Violetkit gasped and shoved her muzzle into her mother's white fur. "Frostlark! Emberspark! Halfface! To me!" Sharpeyes yowled. "Wait!" Clawstar yowled. Sharpeyes froze, puzzled. "Take care." Clawstar whispered, touching noses with Sharpeyes. Sharpeyes nodded,and raced off with the cats he had chosen, towards the tunnel. End of chapter 3
