Yellowfang (Into the Wild)

Chapter 7
"Ah, a puny apprentice. Easy prey for Yellowfang," (pg. 104)

"Not bad, young apprentice," (pg. 104)

"But you'll need to do a lot better!" (pg. 104)

"Who's going to make me?" (pg. 105)

"I will hunt. Then I will leave. Or maybe I'll just stay awhile. . . ." (pg. 105)

"No need to be hasty, now," (pg. 105)

"Yee-ow!" (pg. 106)

"Reow-ow-wow!" (pg. 106)

"Never!" (pg. 108)

"If I weren't so hungry and tired, I'd have shredded you into mouse-dust." (pg. 108)

"Finish me off. I won't stop you." (pg. 108)

"What are you waiting for?" (pg. 108)

"You're dithering like a kittypet!" (pg. 108)

"Ha," (pg. 108)

"Don't tell me ThunderClan is so desperate they have to recruit kittypets now?" (pg. 108)

"Prove it then! Act like a warrior and finish me off. You'll be doing me a favor." (pg. 108)

"Yeah? Well, that's my business, mouse-fodder," (pg. 109)

"What's your problem, kitty? Are you trying to talk me to death?" (pg. 109)

"Are you kidding, kitty? I'm going nowhere." (pg. 109)

"Well, hello again, kitty! I thought you'd gone to fetch your little warrior friends." (pg. 110)

"Ah - no," (pg. 110)

"I do want it." (pg. 110)

"Mmm-mm." (pg. 111)

"First fresh-kill I've had for days." (pg. 111)

"Better than the much Twolegs feed some of our brothers, isn't it?" (pg. 111)

"It's poison," (pg. 111)

"Rat droppings! Only a spineless bag of fur would accept such disgusting frogspawn - " (pg. 111)

"Shhh . . . warriors coming." (pg. 111)

Chapter 8
"So long. Thanks for the meal." (pg. 113)

"Nuh! This leg's stiffened up while I've been resting." (pg. 113)

"I was the ShadowClan medicine cat. Now I choose to travel alone," (pg. 115)

"I've still got three good legs," (pg. 115)

"I know how to take care of my own wounds. I don't need your help." (pg. 118)

"I may be old, but I'm not deaf yet!" (pg. 122)

"I am no traitor! Nothing would make me share the secrets of ShadowClan with a brute like you!" (pg. 123)

"I don't need anyone to care for me!" (pg. 125)

"And I'll split open anyone who tries!" (pg. 125)

Chapter 9
"Stop right there, kittypet!" (pg. 128)

"You are a kittypet, though, aren't you?" (pg. 128)

"Your mother a kittypet? Your father a kittypet?" (pg. 128)

"Kittypet blood is not the same as warrior blood. Why don't you run home to your Twolegs now instead of looking after me? It's humiliating, being fussed over by a lowborn cat like you!" (pg. 128)

"Mr-ow, ow-ow," (pg. 129)

"You have spirit, kittypet," (pg. 129)

"Now, I'm tired and my leg hurts. I need sleep and something to put on this wound. Go and find that pretty little medicine cat of yours and ask her for some herbs. I think you'll find a goldenrod poultice would help. And, while you're at it, I wouldn't mind a few poppy seeds to chew on. The pain is killing me!" (pg. 129)

"Good," (pg. 131)

"Now, before you leave me in peace, find me something to eat. I'm starving!" (pg. 131)

"About time," (pg. 133)

"The base of my tail itches like fury, but I can't reach it. Give it a wash, will you?" (pg. 134)

"Stay away from me, you scrap of fur!" (pg. 134)

"I don't care how restless they are," (pg. 135)

"Just keep them away from me!" (pg. 135)

"Don't you know medicine cats don't have kits?" (pg. 135)

"I have no kits!" (pg. 135)

"Anyway" (pg. 135)

"accidents seem to happen to kits when I'm around them." (pg. 135)

"I should hope you didn't even try, you idiot!" (pg. 136)

"I don't want any tick heads embedded in my rear, thank you very much. Ask Spottedleaf for a little mouse bile to rub on them. A splash of that in their breathing holes and they'll soon loosen their grip." (pg. 136)

"You may as well clear away my dirt now your paws are already foul!" (pg. 138)

"I'm going to take a nap." (pg. 138)

"Then you can go and do whatever it is you apprentices do," (pg. 139)

Chapter 10
"My bones ache this morning. Has it been raining all night?" (pg. 146)

"What? And be kept awake all night by those mewling kits! I'd rather get wet!" (pg. 146-147)

"Thank you, Firepaw," (pg. 147)

"Well, don't just stand there like a startled squirrel; go and fetch some moss!" (pg. 147)

Chapter 13
"I wasn't sleeping," (pg. 186)

"You came straight from the Gathering to me? That must mean you've heard." (pg. 186-187)

"So Brokenstar kept his promise." (pg. 187)

"ShadowClan's noble leader promised to drive me from every Clan territory," (pg. 187)

"What did he say about me?" (pg. 187)

"You mean they believed Brokenstar?" (pg. 187)

"Would I what?" (pg. 187)

"Do you think so?" (pg. 188)

"Firepaw, you believe I'm innocent, and I'm grateful for that. If you believe me, then others might. And I know Bluestar will give me a fair hearing. I can't run forever. I'm too old. I shall stay here and face whatever your Clan decides for me." (pg. 188)

"He is headstrong, and he knows the power he has over the other Clan cats - they are in awe of him. But even he will obey Bluestar." (pg. 188)

"Go away, Firepaw," (pg. 188)

"Don't make trouble for yourself by being seen with me now. There is nothing you can do for me. Have faith in your leader, and let her decide what happens to me." (pg. 188-189)

"I will leave now, if you wish it, Bluestar." (pg. 191)

Chapter 17
"They're okay. I'll protect them." (pg. 230)

Chapter 18
"I am honored, Bluestar, and I accept your offer." (pg. 240)

"Firepaw," (pg. 242)

"I'm glad you have come." (pg. 242)

"Old habits stay longer than old scents, eh?" (pg. 242)

"This old leg injury is playing up again, but I'll be fine," (pg. 242)

"Blackfoot's strong, bu he's not a clever fighter. Fighting you was more of a challenge" (pg. 242)

"I've known him since he was a kit. He hasn't changed - a bully, but no brains." (pg. 242)

"Perhaps a truly loyal cat would have fought at the side of the Clan that raised her." (pg. 243)

"Well said, youngster. But then, you have always been a thinker." (pg. 243)

"I miss the old ShadowClan," (pg. 243)

"The way it used to be." (pg. 243)

"Yes," (pg. 243)

"He changed the Clan." (pg. 243)

"He always knew how to give a good speech. He could make you believe a mouse was a rabbit if he set his mind to it. Perhaps that is why I was so blind to his faults." (pg. 243)

"Not Runningnose?" (pg. 244)

"But he can't even cure his own cold!" (pg. 244)

"Before you go, Firepaw, I hear you were in a rat fight. Did they draw blood?" (pg. 244)

"Sometimes marigold is not strong enough for rat bites. Go and find a patch of wild garlic to roll in. I think there's some not far from the camp entrance. That will draw out any poisons the rats may have left. Although," (pg. 244)

"your denmates might not thank me for my advice!" (pg. 244)

"Go carefully, young one." (pg. 244)

Chapter 20
"You've been listening to too many elders tales," (pg. 266)

"What would be the point of a cat washing its ears if they're only going to get rained on anyway?" (pg. 266)

"I don't think I'd be very welcome," (pg. 266)

"A she-cat is very protective of her newborns. Especially when it's her first litter. I think I'll stay away," (pg. 266-267)

"Sometimes," (pg. 267)

Chapter 22
"I knew ThunderClan would blame me!" (pg. 291)

"I don't have them," (pg. 291)

"I've come to find them and take them back. I stopped because I smelled blood too. But they're not here." (pg. 291)

"I don't have them!" (pg. 291)

"Spottedleaf is dead?" (pg. 292)

"How could I? I left the camp as soon as I heard the kits were missing." (pg. 292)

"I know who has taken the kits," (pg. 292)

"I smelled his scent near the nursery." (pg. 292)

"Clawface - one of Brokenstar's warriors. And as long as the kits are with ShadowClan, they're in great danger." (pg. 292)

"Don't be so sure," (pg. 292)

"Brokenstar intends to use them as warriors." (pg. 292)

"That hasn't stopped him before. He has been training kits as young as three moons since he became leader. At five moons he sends them out as warriors!" (pg. 292)

"Brokenstar doesn't care about that. He has plenty more kits to spare, and if they run out, he can steal them from other Clans!" (pg. 293)

"After all, we're talking about a cat who killed kits from his own Clan!" (pg. 293)

"Because he lied," (pg. 293)

"He accused me of their murder, and ShadowClan believed him!" (pg. 293)

"Not before I have rescued your kits!" (pg. 293)

"Brokenstar insisted on training them too hard and too young. He took two of the kits away for battle practice." (pg. 293)

"They were only four moons old. They were already dead when he brought them back to me. They bore the scratches and bites of a full warrior, not of apprentices. He must have fought them himself. There was nothing I could do. When their mother came to see them, Brokenstar was with me. He said that he had found me standing over their dead bodies." (pg. 293-294)

"I couldn't." (pg. 294)

"Brokenstar is ShadowClan's leader. Noble Raggedstar was his father. His word is law." (pg. 294)

"There's peat this way; it'll be wet after the rain," (pg. 294)

"Our scents will be disguised there." (pg. 294)

"Quick, under here," (pg. 295)

Chapter 23
"I might be able to find us some help from inside ShadowClan. Not all the cats support Brokenstar." (pg. 296)

"When he became leader," (pg. 296)

"Brokenstar forced the elders to leave the security of the inner camp. They had to live on the boundary and hunt for themselves. These are cats who have grown up with the warrior code. Some of them might help us." (pg. 296-297)

"You must trust me," (pg. 297)

"I will return." (pg. 297)

"Well said, young Firepaw." (pg. 300)

"You're not the only one who can sneak up on someone," (pg. 300)

"Remember the day we met? You were looking the wrong direction that time too." (pg. 300)

"Let me introduce my old friends," (pg. 301)

"This is Ashfur; he is one of the Clan elders." (pg. 301)

"And this is Nightpelt, a senior warrior before Raggedstar was killed." (pg. 301)

"And this is one of our elder queens, Dawncloud. Two of her kits died driving out WindClan." (pg. 301)

"Our Clan was not always like this," (pg. 302)

"When Raggedstar led ShadowClan, we were feared for our strength. But in those days our strength came from the warrior code and Clan loyalty, not from fear and bloodlust." (pg. 302)

"If only Raggedstar had lived longer." (pg. 302)

"He was ambushed by a warrior patrol from another Clan." (pg. 302)

"The ShadowClan warriors should lead me into the ShadowClan camp. They could say they had captured me. We have to make sure Brokenstar and his warriors are out of their dens. News of my capture will bring them into the clearing. Once they're all in the open, I'll give the signal for you to attack." (pg. 303)

Chapter 24
"ThunderClan, hide in that clump of bracken over there," (pg. 305)

"It's full of toadstools that will disguise your scent. Wait here till you hear me call." (pg. 305)

"You killed Raggedstar?" (pg. 307)

"No!" (pg. 308)

"And Brightflower's kits? Did they deservve to die too?" (pg. 308)

"We need to stop this bleeding," (pg. 310)

"I will make the journey back with you." (pg. 311)

"You will need a medicine cat, for yourself as well as your kits." (pg. 311)

Chapter 25
"Thank you, Bluestar. ShadowClan is not the Clan I once knew. ThunderClan is my Clan now." (pg. 316)
