Chapter 5

Feathermist paced around the clearing, waiting for Snowmist to return from hunting. It had been a sunrise since Slimtail and Twigfur sent her the omen.

"Mu-um! I'm hungry!" Firekit moaned.

"Snowmist is almost back, sweetie. Be patient." Feathermist mewed.

"What was the thing you were saying to daddy about the clan yesterday?" Snowkit asked Feathermist quietly.

Feathermist stared at her son. "How did you know that?"

"I heard you talking over near the stream." Snowkit answered.

"But you can't hear that far! No cat can!"

"Feathermist! I'm back!" Snowmist's voice echoed through the tree hollow.

Feathermist rushed outside. "Snowmist, Snowkit heard us talking yesterday."

Snowmist froze. "What did he say?"

"He asked what the clan was." Feathermist mewed.

"And?" Snowmist prompted.

"He heard us from the stream, Snowmist! How is he able to hear so far!" Feathermist exclaimed.

"That's amazing!" Snowmist replied. "He can hear farther than anyone else!"

"Mum! I'm hungry!" Silverkit shouted from the tree hollow.

"Coming!" Feathermist yelled back. Turning to Snowmist, she whispered, "We'll talk later."

Snowmist nodded, his blue eyes betraying anxiety.

Feathermist hurried back into the hollow, Snowmist behind her, carrying fresh-kill.
