Chapter Summary
 Jayfeather's PoV 


 * Jay's Wing wakes up and is buried in snow. Stone Song calls out his name, making him turn around, finding Stone Song wriggling free of the snow he was stuck under. They both get out and agree to find the others. Jay's Wing finds where Stone Song was buried, by the blood in the snow above him. He asks what had happened and Stone Song explains that the snow had fallen on top of them. They find Half-Moon and go back to the cave. They are given herbs by Jay's Wing when they go back.


 * Jagged Lightning immediatly asks what happened when he sees that Chasing Clouds was bleeding. Whispering Breeze asks what kind of bird had attacked. Everyone starts making a fuss, so they leave Chasing Clouds alone. Furled Bracken gatheres a lot of the cats and agrees to take the ones that wanted to go home, back home. She Fawn points out that no everyone wanted to leave, and if the father of her kits had died for nothing. Dove's Wing wants to stay, but Broken Shadow gets her hopes up and says for Furled Bracken to take them home, because Fallen Leaves might've been there. Jay's Wing protests telling them they can't go back, that they could learn to live off the land.


 * Half-Moon and Jay's Wing go into the cave of pointed stones. When Rising Moon tells them to come out, they go back to the main cave. Whispering Breeze is muttering that they wouldn't make it to the lake because the mountains would kill them first. Jayfeather offers to be bait for an eagle to try and prve to them they could live off the mountains if the only tried. They try to take down the eagle but let it go. When Rock appears to Jay's Wing, he tells Rock, he doesn't want to leave.
