The Last Hope/Chapter 21

Chapter description
Jayfeather's PoV
 * Jayfeather is gathering comfrey as dusk draws near, his paws aching from gathering herbs all day. Soon the other Clans would be in ThunderClan's camp. Behind him, Squirrelflight is helping Dustpelt and Graystripe train, reminding the brown tabby that the Dark Forest will always try the killing bite. Dustpelt asks how he will fight if he defends all the time, and Graystripe suggests using their shoulders and keeping their heads low.


 * Jayfeather heads back to camp and skirts past Rosepaw and Molepaw, who are trying a tricky battle move. Ivypool is helping warriors train, while Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight organize patrols to go to each Clan. Jayfeather pads up to the two, asking if they will be ready and then asks where Firestar is. Dovewing replies that he is setting traps with Sandstorm and Sorreltail. Ivypool's voice cuts in, telling the training warriors that the Dark Forest wants to kill them, to which Cloudtail asks how they kill them since they are already dead.


 * Jayfeather wonders about this then states that he sees StarClan cats fade when nobody remembers them, and perhaps that is the same way with Dark Forest cats. He then reaches into Ivypool's mind, where he sees Ivypool killing Antpelt a Dark Forest warrior, then he feels her push the thought away. Brambleclaw continues planning, and Jayfeather wonders who Mistystar will bring to ThunderClan. Molepaw angrily asks if they have to share with them till the battle and Cloudtail retorts that he isn't sleeping with a ShadowClan cat. Brambleclaw states that this isn't the time to worry about that and that Firestar wants to be allies with the other Clans till the battle is over.
