Chapter Summary
Ivypool's POV


 * The chapter starts off with Ivypool cautiously slinking through the Dark Forest. It seems very crowded; within every clearing, at least one cat is training, racing across a path, or splashing through the mucky river. Anxious not to be called into any training session, Ivypool clings to the shadows, searching for one cat alone. She leaps into some ferns and peeks out to see Tigerheart and Mapleshade training together.


 * She had been terrified of the old she-cat ever since she had almost drowned her in the river in an earlier 'training session'. Ivypool's eyes widen as she notes that Mapleshade is clearly paler than she was before; Ivypool can see the trees behind her ghostly figure. Mapleshade then leans into Tigerheart and tells him that the Dark Forest will "stamp out the Clans" and that StarClan will bow down to them and the warriors that choose to not join the Dark Forest's forces will be punished until the end of their lives. Ivypool, horrified, shrinks back among the ferns desperately.


 * Mapleshade continues talking, but breaks off, scenting the air. She growls that she scents fear, and whips around towards Ivypool's hiding place. Mapleshade demands who has come with insufficient courage to face their Clanmates. The Dark warrior, luckily, walks in the opposite direction of Ivypool. Mapleshade finds who she was looking for and yowls his name: Snowtuft. She roughly scolds him and Ivypool hears the sound of a well-dealt heavy blow and a high-pitched squeal of pain.


 * Ivypool realizes that Mapleshade probably wasn't coming back, and emerges from the ferns towards Tigerheart. The ShadowClan warrior casually asks Ivypool if she was sneaking around. Ivypool carefully replies that she was looking for him. She asks him about Dawnpelt and Dovewing said he tried to warn her at the Gathering. Tigerheart demands if she is worried about if he said something about what happened with Flametail. Tigerheart accuses Ivypool of doing something. Ivypool protests that she didn't do anything. Tigerheart snarls that nothing can justify her destroying his brother's spirit.
