第八章

暗爪來到新鮮獵物堆,留下一只松鼠。
“夜族的貓!”白星宣布,“讓所有年齡足夠大到來捕捉自己捕捉獵物的貓加入到長崖下面的部族會議?!?/p>
“我要決定哪些貓會去森林大會?!卑仔沁髦骸盎倚摹叨?、雪葉、火足、雪臉、霜暴、暗暴、豹爪、黃爪和白爪。”
“白星,我也可以去嗎?”暗爪小聲地喵著。
“不,我們需要隱藏我們的弱點,我不會讓其他族群知道我們的一個學(xué)徒死了?!?/p>
“我們可以假裝她失蹤了,或者她只是……只是在和斑耳訓(xùn)練。”
“是的,白星。這是她作為學(xué)徒的第一次森林大會?!被倚馁澩?。
“那好吧。你可以去,但別提你死去的妹妹?!卑仔菄@了口氣。
她沒死!暗爪顫抖著。為什么每只貓都相信亮爪死了!我為什么對他們?nèi)鲋e?
“趕快吃完這只畫眉,準備出發(fā)!”喵著灰心。
四石似乎比暗爪想象的要小,只夠族長們坐。副族長們和醫(yī)藥貓們坐在族長旁邊。黃爪和豹子爪很快加入了日族和水族的學(xué)徒隊伍。白爪正在和她的兄弟們聊天。
暗爪跟著灰心,不愿意這么快就交朋友。等等,日星在哪?
“讓我先開始?!睗i漪星喵道:“沼澤族的獵物很好。自從干旱以來,我們有了更多的獵物。我們的兩只幼崽已經(jīng)成為了學(xué)徒,雕爪和泥爪。”
“雕爪!泥爪!”
“我負責,因為日星病了,不過她很快就會康復(fù)。自從干旱以來,日族的獵物減少了,但我們都有足夠的食物和水。”橡條喵道。
“水族并沒有受到干旱的影響。但是月突然出現(xiàn)了,還有夜族的亮爪,帶走了雨爪。他們說是星族的東西,要把雨帶回來。是真的嗎,白星?請你解釋一下?”水星禮貌地問道。
“月?”年輕的戰(zhàn)士和學(xué)徒們驚訝地問。
“那是誰?”
“抓學(xué)徒的惡霸貓?”
“安靜!”水族老者栗簇吼道?!霸率且恢恢腔鄣暮偅瑫f貓的語言。他幫助我們在森林里定居,并引導(dǎo)我們組建族群,找到星族?!?/p>
“是的,我們必須尊重他,相信他在為我們做好事?!卑当┩庹f。
栗簇盯著暗暴,眼里充滿了仇恨。為什么這些長者如此多過結(jié)?暗爪只希望每只貓都能和平地生活和交流,但實際上這是不可能的。
“夜族也有了新的學(xué)徒,亮爪、黃爪和白爪。暗崽和亮爪從營地逃跑了一會兒,暗崽告訴我們她的妹妹被怪物殺死了。然后我們讓暗爪和豹爪當學(xué)徒?,F(xiàn)在水星已經(jīng)開口了,我不再認為亮爪已經(jīng)死了。暗爪,你能解釋一下發(fā)生了什么事嗎?”白星喵道。
“月綁架了亮爪嗎?”藍牙問道,她的眼睛里充滿了憂慮。
狐貍糞!我現(xiàn)在能說什么呢?暗爪猶豫了一會兒,“是,是的。一只會說話的狐貍告訴我們他的名字是月,他必須把亮爪帶走,否則他會撕了我的臉。”
“那你為什么對我們?nèi)鲋e?”斑耳似乎既憤怒又驚訝。
“亮爪讓我這么做的!她不想讓我們?nèi)フ宜?!?/p>
“夠了!”沼澤族的副族長金盞花吼道?!斑@是一次森林大會,我們不能爭論!”
在幾心跳中,薄薄的云層遮住了月亮。大多數(shù)貓看起來都很失望。
“至少,現(xiàn)在我們不用擔心干旱了!”暴爪興奮地喵叫?!拔移炔患按叵肟吹揭恢徽嬲龝f話的狐貍!再見,豹爪!下次聚會再見!”
“再見,暴爪?!北雌饋碛悬c悲傷。
黃爪向貝殼爪和銀爪揮手告別,然后拖走了還在和她的兄弟們一起說笑的白爪。
對啊,我的第一次森林大會,暗爪想,一次可怕的森林大會。

Chapter8

Darkpaw paddled to the fresh-kill pile, leaving a squirrel.
“Cats of Nightclan!" Whitestar announced."Let all those cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath Longledge for a Clan meeting."?
"I'm going to decide?which cats will go on the geathering."Whitestar mewed,"Grayheart, Patchear, Snowleaf, Firefoot, Snowface, Froststorm, Darkstorm, Leopardpaw, Yellowpaw, and Whitepaw."
"Whitestar, may I go too?" Darkpaw mewed quietly.
"No, we need to hide our weakness, we won't let the other clans know that one of our apprentices died."
"We could pretend she's missing, or she's just……training with Patchear."
"Yes, Whitestar. It's her first gathering as an apprentice."Grayheart agreed.
"Okay, then. You may go, but don't say anything about your dead sister."Whitestar sighed.
She's not dead! Darkpaw shivered. Why do every cat believe?that Brightpaw is dead!?Why did I lie to them?
"Finish your thrush quickly and prepare to set off!" mewed Grayheart.
The Fourstones seemed smaller than Darkpaw imagined, only big enough for the leaders to sit on. The deputies and medicine cats sit beside the leaders. Yellowpaw and Leopardpaw soon joined the SunClan and WaterClan apprentices. Whitepaw was chatting with her brothers.
Darkpaw followed Grayheart, not willing to make friends so soon.Wait, where's Sunstar?
"Let me start first." Ripplestar mewed,"The prey is running well in MarshClan. We've got more prey since the drought. And two of our kits have made apprentices, Eaglepaw and Mudpaw."
"Eaglepaw! Mudpaw!"
"I'm in charge because Sunstar is sick, she'll recover soon. SunClan's prey has decreased since the drought, but we all have enough to eat and drink. " mewed Oakstripe.
"WaterClan hasn't been influenced by the drought. But Moon appeared suddenly with Brightpaw from NightClan, taking Rainpaw away. They say it's StarClan businness, to bring the rain back. Is that true, Whitestar? Would you please explain that?" Waterstar asked politely.
"Moon?" the young warriors and apprentices gasped.
"Who's that?"
"A rouge who captures apprentices?"
"Silence!" growled Sorreltuft, a WaterClan elder."Moon is a wise fox which can speak cats' language.?He helped us settle in the forest and guided us to form clans and reach StarClan."
"Yes, we have to respect him and believe that he's doing something good for us." Darkstorm agreed.
Sorreltuft?stared at Darkstorm, eyes filled of hate. Why are these elders?so in tense? Darkpaw only wished that every cat can live and communicate peacefully, but oviously it's impossible.
"NightClan have new apprentices too, Brightpaw, Yellowpaw and Whitepaw. Darkkit and Brightpaw?ran away from camp for a while and Darkkit told us that her sister is killed by a monster. Then we made Darkpaw and Leopardpaw apprentices. Now that Waterstar has spoken, I don't think Brighpaw is dead any more. Darkpaw, would you explain what happened?"mewed Whitestar.
"Did Moon kidnap Brightpaw?" Bluefang asked, her eyes filled of worries.
Fox dung! What can I say now?Darkpaw hesitated for a second, "Ye,Yes. A fox speaking told us that his name is moon and he has to take Brightpaw away, or he will tear my face."
"Why do you lie to us?"Patchear seemed angry and surprised.
"Brightpaw told me to! She doesn't want us to search for her!"
"Enough!"roared Marigold, the MarshClan deputy. "This is a gathering, we mustn't argue!"In
In a few heartbeats, thin clouds covered the moon. Most of the cats look disappointed.
"At least, now we won't be worried about the drought!" Stormpaw mewed?excitedly."I can't wait to see a REAL TALKING FOX! Bye, Leopardpaw! See you on the next gathering!"
"Goodbye, Stormpaw."Leopardpaw looked a bit sad.
Yellowpaw waved goodbye with Shellpaw and Silverpaw, than dragged Whitepaw, who was still laughing with her brothers.
Yeah, my first gathering, thought Darkpaw, a terrible one.
