02. Fire and Ice《寒冰烈火》

Ans: TallstarIn the text, a big black-and-white tom with amber eyes lit by the fire answers the other cats and leads the Clan. Later he is called Tallstar, the leader of WindClan.

Ans: They were driven out of their home by ShadowClan (Brokenstar) and came to find a safe placeIn the text, Ashfoot says "We couldn't protect them from ShadowClan," and Tallstar says "ShadowClan drove us out of our home." They were driven away again and again, so they came here to find safety.

Ans: A round hole in the ground with fresh running waterDeadfoot stopped beside a round hole as tall as two cats. A dark tunnel sloped down into the ground, and clean water flowed into it. He said there was room to hide from the Twolegs and the monsters.

Ans: After ShadowClan (Brokenstar) drove WindClan from their home, their leader Tallstar led them to a wasteland near the Thunderpath, and at last they hid in an underground tunnel with a stream that Deadfoot had found.

Ans: FirepawThe text says Fireheart was still called by his apprentice name, Firepaw, until last night. Only after the vigil did he officially become a warrior.

Ans: TigerclawRavenpaw told Fireheart that the strong tabby warrior (Tigerclaw) had murdered Redtail so he could become deputy. Later, Tigerclaw did become deputy.

Ans: Let the Clan keep believing he was deadBluestar said Ravenpaw might be happier now and decided to "let the Clan keep believing he was dead." She thought it was better for him to be a dead hero than a living coward.

Ans: After Fireheart became a new warrior of ThunderClan, he told Bluestar the secret that Tigerclaw had killed Redtail and that Ravenpaw had run away, but Bluestar did not believe Tigerclaw was the killer and decided to let the Clan keep thinking Ravenpaw was dead.

Ans: LeopardfurFireheart saw a dappled she-cat talking with Tigerclaw, and a RiverClan warrior said, "That is Leopardfur, our deputy."

Ans: Find WindClan as soon as possible and bring them homeBluestar insisted that "the forest needs four Clans" and said, "We must find WindClan as soon as possible and bring them home."

Ans: Crookedstar and Nightpelt exchanged looks, as if they might join forcesFireheart saw the look that passed between Crookedstar and Nightpelt when Crookedstar turned to speak to him, and his fur stood up. Even Tigerclaw noticed their exchange.

Ans: At the gathering at Fourtrees, Bluestar said the forest needed four Clans and WindClan must be brought home, and finally Nightpelt agreed to let them return; but Fireheart noticed suspicious looks between Crookedstar and Nightpelt and worried that the two Clans might make a secret alliance.

Ans: Find WindClan and bring them back to their landBluestar announced, "I want you to find WindClan and bring them back to their territory." Tigerclaw also warned them that the trip was dangerous.

Ans: Twolegs had taken over part of the river and scared the fishDappletail and Frostfur said RiverClan elders told them that Twolegs had built dens by the river and taken over part of it, scaring the fish. The RiverClan cats were so hungry that they could only hide in the bushes and watch.

Ans: Get traveling herbs from Yellowfang, and avoid Nightpelt, who was going to the Moonstone that nightTigerclaw said, "Go to Yellowfang for herbs to build your strength and stop your hunger," and warned, "Nightpelt is going to the Moonstone tonight. Whatever you do, stay away from him."

Ans: Bluestar and Tigerclaw ordered Fireheart and Graystripe to find WindClan and bring them home; before they left, Tigerclaw told them to get traveling herbs from Yellowfang and to avoid Nightpelt, who was going to the Moonstone that night.

Ans: They hid in an old badger den with a strong, stale smellGraystripe smelled stale badger scent and led Fireheart into a sandy hole. The badger smell covered their own scent, so the RiverClan cats followed a rabbit trail and left.

Ans: The abandoned WindClan campIn a sheltered hollow surrounded by gorse, they smelled many old, mixed WindClan scents and fresh meat that had already become crow-food. They knew this was the abandoned WindClan camp.

Ans: By the Thunderpath, where the trail suddenly broke offThey followed the trail to the hedge beside the Thunderpath. After going through the hedge, the scent "stopped suddenly." Fireheart guessed that WindClan either turned back or crossed the Thunderpath.

Ans: Fireheart and Graystripe entered WindClan territory, avoided the RiverClan patrol, found WindClan's abandoned camp, and followed the scent trail to the Thunderpath, where the trail suddenly broke off.

Ans: Spottedleaf's voice: "Fire will save the Clan"In the text, when Fireheart saw the fire and the cats, he remembered a dream of the roaring Thunderpath, firelight and cats, and Spottedleaf whispering, "Fire will save the Clan."

Ans: They went down a round, stone-lined hole in the ground (a tunnel)The WindClan cats disappeared underground one by one. When the two came closer, they saw a round, stone-lined hole in the ground sloping down into the dark — that was the tunnel entrance of their hiding place.

Ans: Thin, sick, and numb — they did not even react to the roaring of the monstersThe text says many cats huddled together, "pitifully thin," and the air was full of the smell of sickness and crow-food. When a monster roared above them, they just lay curled up with half-closed eyes, numb.

Ans: Fireheart and Graystripe crossed the Thunderpath and followed WindClan's scent, and finally found the thin, sick WindClan cats hiding in a den near a fire and the Twolegs, where the WindClan warriors lined up to defend themselves.

Ans: DeadfootTallstar said, "Fireheart, walk close to the Clan. If you see trouble, tell my deputy," and nodded toward a limping black tom: "Deadfoot."

Ans: Ravenpaw was still alive — he was a loner staying with WindClanThe two cats met a loner, and Fireheart recognized him as Ravenpaw. Ravenpaw said, "ThunderClan thinks I'm dead," and joked that this loner would eat Clan apprentices. In fact, he had been helping WindClan.

Ans: The clouds were stained with blood, meaning a needless death would come that dayThe short-tailed brown tom Barkface, WindClan's medicine cat, stared at the blood-stained clouds and said, "This is a sign from our ancestors. Trouble lies ahead. Today will bring a needless death."

Ans: Fireheart and Graystripe found Tallstar in the tunnel and persuaded WindClan to go home; on the way they were surprised to find that the "dead" Ravenpaw was actually a loner staying with WindClan; before they left, WindClan's medicine cat Barkface saw blood-stained clouds and warned that a needless death would come that day.

Ans: Onewhisker and DeadfootTallstar said, "There may be hostile hunting parties nearby. Onewhisker and Deadfoot will escort you to Fourtrees."

Ans: TigerclawThe text says Fireheart heard a voice full of anger but also of hope — Tigerclaw's battle cry. Then he smelled the battle scent of the ThunderClan patrol: Tigerclaw, Willowpelt, Whitestorm, and Sandpaw.

Ans: WhiteclawAt the edge of the gorge, Graystripe tried to grab a white paw but failed. In the spray below, a RiverClan warrior's dark head sank into the foam. That was Whiteclaw — just as Barkface said, "today will bring a needless death."

Ans: WindClan returned to their high camp with the help of Fireheart and Graystripe; Tallstar sent Onewhisker and Deadfoot to escort the two back to Fourtrees; on the way RiverClan attacked, Tigerclaw led a patrol to the rescue, and RiverClan's Whiteclaw fell into the gorge and drowned, fulfilling Barkface's prophecy of a needless death.

Ans: She said this was more than a border fight, RiverClan would settle it another time, and led her cats awayLeopardfur growled to Tigerclaw, "This is more than a border fight... We'll go back to our Clan. This will be settled another day." Then she led the RiverClan cats away.

Ans: It sent RiverClan the message that ThunderClan was allied with WindClan, and would push RiverClan and ShadowClan togetherTigerclaw blamed them: "You gave them the message that we are their allies. You will only push RiverClan and ShadowClan closer together."

Ans: CinderpawBluestar looked at the small gray she-cat and announced, "From this day on, this apprentice will be called Cinderpaw." She said, "Fireheart, you are ready to take your first apprentice. You will begin Cinderpaw's training."

Ans: After Whiteclaw fell into the gorge and died, Leopardfur led RiverClan away and warned that they would settle the score another day; Tigerclaw blamed Fireheart and Graystripe for leading WindClan through RiverClan territory and causing trouble, but Bluestar still made Fireheart Cinderpaw's mentor and Graystripe Brackenpaw's mentor.

Ans: The ThunderpathCinderpaw asked excitedly, "Are we going to see the Thunderpath?" Fireheart answered, "Er, yes," and thought she would be disappointed when she saw the dirty, smelly place.

Ans: His sisterAt the end of the chapter, Fireheart suddenly realized, "Of course! The she-cat I saw in the forest... she is my sister!"

Ans: A pregnant kittypet she-cat (a stranger)Fireheart sensed a stranger in the forest but knew she was not a threat. Just as Cinderpaw was about to pounce, Fireheart deliberately rustled some dry ferns to stop her, and the she-cat jumped over the Twoleg fence and escaped.

Ans: Fireheart took his apprentice Cinderpaw around ThunderClan territory; on the way they met a pregnant kittypet she-cat (whom Fireheart later realized was his sister); that evening he shared fresh-kill with Graystripe and compared their apprentices.

Ans: RustyFireheart called softly from the bushes, "It's me, Rusty!" His sister Princess also said, "You don't smell like Rusty," which shows that his kittypet name was Rusty.

Ans: He wanted to visit his sister Princess, who was expecting kittensHe said casually, "I want to check on something I saw yesterday," but really he was going to Twolegplace to visit his pregnant sister Princess, whom he had seen in the forest the day before.

Ans: Cinderpaw's training was Fireheart's responsibilityTigerclaw said, "We need warriors too. Cinderpaw's training is your responsibility," reminding Fireheart not to ignore his apprentice just to hunt.

Ans: Fireheart secretly went to Twolegplace and met his sister Princess, a kittypet who was expecting kittens (his old name was Rusty); back at camp, Tigerclaw reminded him that Cinderpaw's training was his duty, while Graystripe was still deeply troubled by Whiteclaw's death.

Ans: Redtail and OakheartBrackenpaw asked, "Is this where Redtail died?" and Cinderpaw added, "And this is where Tigerclaw killed Oakheart to avenge him?" Fireheart's fur stood up, because he knew what Ravenpaw had told him.

Ans: Silverstream (a RiverClan cat)At the end of the chapter, Fireheart thought, "Thank StarClan Silverstream was there to save him," and pointed out that Silverstream was the RiverClan cat.

Ans: He fell into an icy stream near the training hollow while teaching the apprentices to fishBrackenpaw suggested saying that Graystripe fell in while teaching them to fish in the stream near the training hollow. Graystripe insisted the Clan must never know that a RiverClan cat saved him or that they had entered RiverClan territory.

Ans: Fireheart took the two apprentices to hunt at Sunningrocks and told them about the deaths of Redtail and Oakheart; on the way, Graystripe fell into the river and was saved by RiverClan's Silverstream; before returning to camp, they agreed to lie that Graystripe had fallen into the icy stream near the training hollow while teaching them to fish, so the Clan would not learn that they had entered RiverClan territory.

Ans: She slipped on the icy stream near the training hollow; Graystripe came to help and also fell through the ice, and Fireheart pulled him outCinderpaw boldly made up a story: they were hunting by the frozen stream near the training hollow, she slipped, Graystripe came to help, the ice broke, he fell into the water, and Fireheart pulled him out. Tigerclaw believed her.

Ans: Feverfew and lavenderGraystripe said, "Yellowfang says I have to stay in camp. She says I have a cold... She gave me feverfew and lavender."

Ans: Send them to hunt through Tallpines all the way to Twolegplace, and watch them and reportTigerclaw said, "Send Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw to hunt in Tallpines, all the way to Twolegplace. Watch them, see how they hunt, and report back to me."

Ans: Cinderpaw lied to Tigerclaw that Graystripe had fallen into the icy stream near the training hollow while saving her; Graystripe had a cold and rested in camp on feverfew and lavender; then Tigerclaw ordered Fireheart to assess the two apprentices by sending them to hunt through Tallpines to Twolegplace and report.

Ans: Let Fireheart keep mentoring both Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw for nowBluestar said she had noticed that Fireheart had taken on Brackenpaw's training, and said, "I want you to keep training both of them for now." Anger flashed in Tigerclaw's eyes.

Ans: She was too eager and might become reckless; she needed careful guidanceBluestar said, "Her eagerness worries me... she needs careful guidance in her training." Fireheart also admitted she was afraid of nothing and could be reckless.

Ans: Graystripe was meeting and falling in love with Silverstream, a RiverClan cat, by the riverGraystripe did not go to the training hollow. Instead he went to the river beyond Sunningrocks, where the silver she-cat Silverstream, who had once saved him, touched noses, rubbed cheeks, and twined around him — clearly the two were falling for each other.

Ans: Both apprentices did well in their assessment, and Bluestar let Fireheart keep mentoring Cinderpaw and Brackenpaw; then Fireheart secretly followed Graystripe, who often disappeared, and found that he was secretly meeting and falling in love with Silverstream, the RiverClan she-cat who had once saved him.

Ans: Her father was Crookedstar, the leader of RiverClanSilverstream lifted her chin and said, "I know the patrol times, actually. My father is Crookedstar, the leader of RiverClan." Fireheart froze and scolded Graystripe for choosing the wrong cat.

Ans: Whitecough (two cases), and she warned that greencough was the real killerYellowfang said, "I think there's whitecough in the camp. Two cases this morning" — Speckletail's kits and Patchpelt. It was not serious yet, but greencough was the deadly threat.

Ans: He went back to the river to talk to Silverstream but smelled RiverClan warriors and was afraid of being discoveredFireheart decided to find Silverstream and reason with her. That night he went back to the river in the rain, but smelled the scent of RiverClan warriors — Silverstream came with two clanmates, and a battle-scarred warrior was sniffing around suspiciously. Fireheart was afraid he would be smelled.

Ans: Fireheart caught Graystripe meeting Silverstream, the daughter of RiverClan's leader, and scolded him for breaking the warrior code; back at camp, Yellowfang mentioned that whitecough had appeared and told him to keep an eye on Graystripe; that night Fireheart went to the river to reason with Silverstream but smelled the RiverClan patrol and almost got caught.

Ans: Twolegs had taken over the land downstream, fish were fewer and forest prey was harder to find; the rabbits on the moor were their only hope to survive leaf-bareSilverstream said Twolegs had set up camp downstream, the fish were fewer, and forest prey was hard to find. The rabbits that ran on the moor all year were the only way to keep their kits from starving, so RiverClan did not want WindClan to come home.

Ans: WhitecoughYellowfang said seriously, "Bluestar has whitecough," and it had come on fast and hit her hard.

Ans: Only her last oneThe text says, "If Bluestar loses this life, she will have only one left." Other cats thought she had three, but the medicine cat could sense the truth.

Ans: Fireheart argued with Silverstream by the river and learned that RiverClan was hunting on ThunderClan territory because Twolegs had taken over the land downstream and food was short; back at camp, Yellowfang told him that Bluestar had caught whitecough and was close to her last life (if she lost this one, only her final life would remain).

Ans: Greencough — Fireheart must guard her and let no cat inFrostfur came out of Bluestar's den and said, "She has greencough." She told Fireheart, "Guard her. Don't let any cat in."

Ans: ShadowClan had invaded their territory and left fresh-kill scraps on the ThunderClan side of the ThunderpathDustpaw said Tigerclaw "found evidence that ShadowClan warriors invaded our territory." They had left scraps of fresh-kill on the ThunderClan side of the Thunderpath.

Ans: A monster knocked her down, and she lay still by the Thunderpath (but was still breathing)When Fireheart arrived, he heard a sharp cry (the very sound from his dream) and saw Cinderpaw's small body lying still beside the Thunderpath. Tigerclaw said, "She's still alive," but her hind legs were twisted and bleeding.

Ans: Bluestar's sickness turned into greencough, and Fireheart was sent by Yellowfang to Twolegplace for catnip; on the way, he found that Cinderpaw had gone off alone to find Tigerclaw, and when he reached the Thunderpath she had been knocked down by a monster and lay by the road, hurt and barely alive.

Ans: She's badly hurt, but maybe she can be saved (no promises)After checking, Yellowfang said, "She is badly hurt, but I think I might be able to save her," and added, "I can't promise anything."

Ans: She stopped breathing and lost a life; when she woke she said "I've lost another life" (now she had only her last one left)While Fireheart kept watch, Bluestar stopped breathing, then gasped and woke: "I've lost another life." Yellowfang later confirmed that this was her last life.

Ans: He was afraid of a ShadowClan attack and wanted to stay alertFireheart thought that if Tigerclaw was right and ShadowClan really was about to attack the border, he did not want sleep to dull his senses — he might be needed to guard the camp.

Ans: Fireheart carried the badly hurt Cinderpaw back to camp, and Yellowfang said she might be saved; he stayed by Bluestar, who lost a life before dawn (now only her last one remained), and Graystripe was cold to Fireheart because he had gone to stop Silverstream.

Ans: Greencough (Brindleface's two kits were sick)Speckletail told Fireheart, "There's greencough in the nursery. Brindleface's two kits are sick."

Ans: Went back to his old Twolegplace to pick more catnipFireheart thought he might be able to help Yellowfang fight the sickness, so he ran to the catnip patch at his old kittypet home and picked as many leaves as he could.

Ans: No need — Yellowfang had said he was recoveredGraystripe said cheerfully, "No need. I'm fine. Yellowfang gave me a clean bill of health this morning." His eyes were bright and the scabs on his nose had healed.

Ans: After the snow, Fireheart learned that Bluestar had lost a life and Cinderpaw was getting better, but then heard that greencough had broken out in the nursery (Brindleface's two kits were sick); to help Yellowfang fight the sickness, he went back to Twolegplace to pick more catnip, and when he returned Graystripe said he had recovered and did not need to be isolated.

Ans: Sandpaw, because ShadowClan scent had come as close as the Owl TreeWhitestorm said, "I want you to take Sandpaw on the dawn patrol. ShadowClan scent has been picked up as close as the Owl Tree."

Ans: Attack RiverClan at once (because they kept hunting on ThunderClan territory)Graystripe and Willowpelt said the thaw was coming, but Bluestar announced, "Then we attack at once!" She sent Tigerclaw to lead a raiding party into RiverClan territory.

Ans: So Graystripe wouldn't have to choose between the Clan and SilverstreamFireheart thought this way Graystripe would not have to choose between the Clan and Silverstream, and he himself would not have to join an attack on RiverClan, which was already starving.

Ans: Fireheart patrolled the border with Sandpaw (ShadowClan scent had come as close as the Owl Tree); back at camp, Bluestar decided to launch a surprise attack on RiverClan, who kept hunting on their territory, and Fireheart volunteered to join Tigerclaw's raiding party so Graystripe would not have to choose between the Clan and Silverstream.

Ans: The river had thawed (the ice broke into rushing water), so Tigerclaw said they had to waitThe ice on the river had broken into rushing black water. Tigerclaw said, "We'll have to wait," and the patrol had to turn back home.

Ans: Graystripe was angry that Fireheart didn't trust him and thought he would betray ThunderClanGraystripe was furious: "You don't trust me! You think I would betray ThunderClan!" They went for each other with teeth and claws until Bluestar shouted them to a stop.

Ans: Her eldest son (a white kit), asking him to bring the kit to ThunderClan as an apprenticePrincess came carrying a small white kit. She said, "I brought him to you, Fireheart. I want you to take him to the Clan and make him your new apprentice," and she hoped he would be trained into a hero.

Ans: The thawing river forced the raid to be called off; Fireheart and Graystripe had a big fight in camp over trust, and Bluestar stopped them; the next day Fireheart met his sister Princess, who gave him her newborn white kit to bring to ThunderClan as an apprentice.

Ans: GraystripeGraystripe said, "If it has Fireheart's blood, it will be a good Clan cat," and Fireheart felt a wave of relief.

Ans: Take it into the Clan, let Brindleface nurse it, and name it Cloudkit (but no naming ceremony)Bluestar said, "I have decided to take this kit into the Clan." Brindleface would nurse it, its name would be Cloudkit, and she made clear there would be no naming ceremony.

Ans: She wanted to decide her eldest son's future herself and make him a hero like Fireheart (and she knew Fireheart felt lonely after Cinderpaw got hurt)Princess said this was her first litter and she would decide his future for him: "Make him a hero, just like you!" She also knew Fireheart felt lonely after his apprentice had been hurt.

Ans: Fireheart brought his sister Princess's eldest son back to camp; the cats (especially Tigerclaw) were hostile to the kittypet kit at first, but Graystripe spoke up for it; Bluestar finally decided to take the kit in, let Brindleface nurse it, and named it Cloudkit, though without a naming ceremony.

Ans: She would never become a warriorShe asked, "I'm never going to be a warrior, am I?" Fireheart couldn't lie, so he answered softly, "No. I'm sorry."

Ans: He suspected a trap: Tigerclaw was not by the scorched ash tree where he said he'd be, and could have stopped herCinderpaw said she ran straight to the scorched ash tree where Dustpaw said Tigerclaw would be, and then a monster hit her. Fireheart remembered that Tigerclaw had not been at the meeting place, and angrily thought, "Was it a trap?"

Ans: He said Graystripe had gone huntingWhen Fireheart asked where Graystripe had gone, Brackenpaw just said "hunting" and added, "He said I could go again tomorrow." (In fact, Graystripe was going to meet Silverstream.)

Ans: On the eve of the full moon, Fireheart visited Cinderpaw, whose leg was still healing, and she finally understood she could never become a warrior; Fireheart asked about the day of the accident and found that Tigerclaw had not been at the meeting place, making him suspect a trap; then he left with Bluestar for the gathering at Fourtrees.

Ans: A ThunderClan warrior had been spying in RiverClan territory all along (meaning Graystripe)Crookedstar said, "What about the ThunderClan warrior who has been spying in our territory ever since?" Fireheart looked at Graystripe at once, knowing he was the one who had been smelled.

Ans: Rogue cats (stray cats poaching prey)Nightstar said, "ShadowClan has not entered your territory. What you smelled is the scent of rogues. They have been stealing our prey too."

Ans: A cloud covered the full moon, seen as "StarClan bringing darkness"A cloud covered the full moon completely. Halftail said, "StarClan has brought darkness." Runningnose and Yellowfang both urged everyone to listen to StarClan, and so the gathering broke up.

Ans: At the gathering at Fourtrees, Bluestar accused RiverClan of hunting at Sunningrocks, and Crookedstar accused ThunderClan of having a cat (Graystripe) sneak into their territory; each Clan suspected the others of making alliances; when a cloud covered the full moon and was seen as a warning from StarClan, the gathering broke up in anger.

Ans: Meet only at Fourtrees, so the scent was hard to find and he wouldn't have to enter RiverClan territoryGraystripe said, "We'll only meet at Fourtrees. That way the scent is hard to find, and I don't have to enter RiverClan territory." Fireheart reluctantly agreed.

Ans: Four cats per patrol (at least three warriors), patrol more often, and be ready to fightBluestar said that from now on every patrol would have four cats, at least three of them warriors; two patrols each night, one in the day, plus dawn and dusk patrols, and they must be ready for battle.

Ans: He said "Be careful — don't lose such a precious toy," making Fireheart suspect Cloudkit was in danger and think of Cinderpaw's accidentTigerclaw held the ball of wool and said, "Be careful you don't lose such a precious toy." Fireheart trembled, thinking of Cinderpaw being badly hurt by the Thunderpath, and suspected this deputy had something to do with his apprentice's accident.

Ans: After the gathering, Graystripe promised Fireheart he would only meet Silverstream at Fourtrees to avoid suspicion; back at camp, Bluestar announced stronger patrols and getting ready for war with RiverClan and ShadowClan; the next day Tigerclaw made a threatening remark about Cloudkit's ball of wool, making Fireheart suspect he was the one who caused Cinderpaw's accident.

Ans: A pile of rabbit bones (showing ShadowClan was hunting on their territory)They found a pile of rabbit bones in the ferns. Clan cats usually bury their prey's bones to show respect, so leaving the bones was a deliberate boast that they had been hunting on ThunderClan land.

Ans: BrokenstarAfter sniffing the bones carefully, Yellowfang hissed in fear: "Brokenstar!" The familiar scent meant Brokenstar had come back and was leading the rogues.

Ans: Find Tigerclaw and tell him the invader was BrokenstarFireheart said, "You must find Tigerclaw and tell him that the cat invading our territory is Brokenstar!" He did not want Tigerclaw to attack ShadowClan by mistake and start a needless war between Clans.

Ans: Fireheart's patrol found rabbit bones on the border, and Yellowfang recognized Brokenstar's scent — he had come back with rogues; Fireheart sent Brackenpaw to stop Tigerclaw's raiding party and gathered the old and weak cats in camp to face Brokenstar.

Ans: Graystripe killed him because Clawface had killed SpottedleafGraystripe raced back, bit Clawface by the neck, and threw him to his death. Fireheart recognized Clawface as the cat who had cold-bloodedly killed ThunderClan's medicine cat Spottedleaf six months earlier.

Ans: It wasn't his last life, and even if it were, she couldn't do it — he was her sonYellowfang said, "That is not his last life," and "even if it were his last, I could not kill him" — because Brokenstar was really her son.

Ans: Keep him as a prisoner (renamed Brokentail, no longer a leader), and decide later after he healedBluestar said, "He stays." She announced that from now on he would be called Brokentail, and he was no longer a Clan leader; Yellowfang would care for him for a month, and then they would decide what to do with him.

Ans: Brokenstar led the rogues in a surprise attack on the camp; Graystripe came back in time and killed Clawface, the cat who had once killed Spottedleaf; Yellowfang blinded Brokenstar but could not give the final blow because he was her son, and Bluestar finally decided to keep him as a prisoner and renamed him Brokentail.

Ans: Sandstorm and DustpeltBluestar announced, "Sandpaw, from this day on you will be called Sandstorm" and "Dustpaw, from this day on you will be called Dustpelt," and told them to keep the vigil until dawn.

Ans: He said coldly, "I would have done the same for any ThunderClan cat. That's clan loyalty."Graystripe said coldly, "I would have done the same for any ThunderClan cat. That's what loyalty to the Clan means!" He was hinting that Fireheart did not need to treat him as a special hero.

Ans: Cloudkit and her other kits had disappeared in the snowBrindleface said in a panic, "Have you seen Cloudkit? ... My other kits are missing too! It's too cold — they'll freeze!"

Ans: At sunset, Bluestar held a naming ceremony for Sandpaw and Dustpaw, who had fought bravely against the rogues (they became Sandstorm and Dustpelt), and praised Fireheart; the next day, Graystripe was cold when Fireheart tried to thank him, and then Brindleface ran in to report that Cloudkit and her kits had disappeared in the snow.

Ans: Carrying a vole he had caught himself (his first hunt) and struggling through the snowStep by step, Cloudkit was struggling through snow as deep as himself, and he was still holding a snow-covered vole in his mouth — the first prey he had ever caught.

Ans: Kits hunting was against the warrior codeBluestar glared at the three kits and said, "What were you thinking? Kits hunting is against the warrior code!"

Ans: "A battle is coming. Beware a warrior you cannot trust."Spottedleaf whispered, "A battle is coming, Fireheart. Beware a warrior you cannot trust." This was exactly the doubt Fireheart had long felt about Graystripe.

Ans: Fireheart and Sandstorm found the lost kits in the snow, and saw that Cloudkit was carrying the first vole he had ever caught; Bluestar scolded the kits for hunting against the code, and that night Fireheart dreamed that Spottedleaf warned him, "A battle is coming. Beware a warrior you cannot trust."

Ans: Onewhisker reported that ShadowClan and RiverClan were attacking the WindClan campOnewhisker rushed into the clearing, terror in his eyes: "ShadowClan and RiverClan! They're attacking our camp! Tallstar is determined to fight to the death this time. You must help!"

Ans: She was on her ninth and last life and could not take risks in battleFireheart suddenly remembered: Bluestar was on her ninth and last life. For the sake of the Clan, she could not take risks on the battlefield, so Yellowfang urged her to stay behind.

Ans: Told Brackenpaw to take the kits safely back to campFireheart could not bear to let his sister's kits go into battle, so he ordered Graystripe's apprentice Brackenpaw to take Cloudkit and the other kits back to camp.

Ans: Onewhisker reported that ShadowClan and RiverClan were attacking the WindClan camp; Bluestar decided to send help (she stayed behind because she had only her last life left); Tigerclaw led the vanguard (including Fireheart) out, and on the way Fireheart told Brackenpaw to take the kits that had followed them back to camp.

Ans: He just watched coldly and didn't helpLeopardfur's claws dug into Fireheart's belly, and Fireheart called for help, but Tigerclaw just stood there watching coldly, without expression, and did not move.

Ans: Graystripe (shouting "Silverstream! No!")Silverstream's eyes were wild with battle and she raised her claws to scratch Fireheart, but Graystripe let out a familiar roar — "Silverstream! No!" — and she hesitated and recognized Fireheart.

Ans: Fireheart let Silverstream go, the two made up, and Fireheart said he would always be his friendFireheart saw the fear in Graystripe's eyes, sheathed his claws, and let Silverstream go. The two lay down side by side. Graystripe said, "I can't give her up," and Fireheart answered, "Whatever you decide, I'll always be your friend." Their friendship came back.

Ans: ThunderClan fought hard at the WindClan camp against ShadowClan and RiverClan; Tigerclaw watched coldly and did not save Fireheart when Leopardfur bit him, while Graystripe stopped Silverstream from attacking Fireheart by mistake; Fireheart finally let Silverstream go, and the two friends made up.
