Summary[]
- Leafpool walks in the forest toward the lake, thinking that Brightheart is taking care of Firestar, who did not lost a life to the foxtrap but is still recovering. She remembers seeing Hawkfrost's dead body in the lake, making it run red with his blood, thus fulfilling the prophecy. As Leafpool walks up to the lake, she sees Brambleclaw staring out distantly. She greets him, and he turns around, looking despondent. He asks Leafpool why she came, and she lies that she often comes to enjoy the view. Brambleclaw gets up to leave, but Leafpool tells him to stay. The medicine cat asks if he is thinking about Hawkfrost, and he confirms this.
- Leafpool sits down, noting her growing, pregnant belly. She wonders what will happen to her kits but pushes the thought aside. She urges Brambleclaw to talk to her, and he states that the rest of ThunderClan hates him, and that he should have never become deputy. Leafpool reassures him, saying that StarClan approves of him and Squirrelflight loves him.
- Brambleclaw blames himself for Firestar being harmed. Leafpool shakes her head, telling him he was a hero. The deputy states that it is bad luck he had not had an apprentice when he became deputy. Leafpool realizes that many cats agree with him. Brambleclaw explains that no matter what he does, he feels like he is going to destroy ThunderClan from the inside, and Leafpool, shivering, believes his words might become a prophecy.
