Chapter description[]
- Bluepaw wakes up and heads out of her den and into the clearing. A hunting patrol soon returns to camp with a good catch. Thistlepaw explains that they had found a whole nest of mice and boasts that he had killed three of them. Snowpaw praises her fellow apprentice and looks admiringly at him. Goosefeather comes out of his den to eat one of the mice, and Bluepaw stares angrily at the medicine cat. Sunfall, walking up by his apprentice, guesses what she is thinking and reminds her that Moonflower's death was not Goosefeather's fault. Bluepaw picks a sparrow and sits down to eat it, but her meal is disrupted as she hears Thistlepaw and Snowpaw sharing tongues, with Thistlepaw picking burrs out of Snowpaw's pelt. Angered, Bluepaw rushes over to confront them, asking Snowpaw if she has forgotten how to groom herself. After Thistlepaw pads off, Bluepaw demands to know what is going on between him and her sister. Snowpaw defends herself, responding that there is nothing in the warrior code that says denmates cannot become friends or even mates if they want to. The two sisters' argument is interrupted as Sunfall comes to fetch them for a patrol.
- Tawnyspots leads a patrol consisting of Rosepaw, Sweetpaw, Smallear, Thistlepaw, Sparrowpelt, and Snowpaw to fetch leaves that will be woven into the elders' den. Bluepaw realizes that she had not been invited to join their patrol and thinks that Sunfall might have been right when he said that her Clanmates are avoiding her because she is bad-tempered. However, Lionpaw soon invites her to come with him, Swiftbreeze, and Goldenpaw to practice battle moves in the sandy hollow. Sunfall accompanies them as well. Once in the hollow, Swiftbreeze asks Bluepaw to show Lionpaw a simple battle move, and she obliges. Lionpaw and Goldenpaw both attempt the move and execute it successfully. Lionpaw then tries the move on Bluepaw and though she is able to dodge him, she realizes that he is strong and will make a good warrior. When it is Goldenpaw's turn to try the move against Bluepaw, she strikes quickly and leaps onto Bluepaw's back, but Bluepaw shakes her opponent off and rakes her claw against Goldenpaw's ear. Back in camp, Speckletail is upset when she sees the scratch, but Goldenpaw does not mind, saying that it was good she would have her first scar even before going into battle. Stormtail suddenly joins the conversation, putting in that Goldenpaw had been lucky to escape with only one scratch since she was fighting Bluepaw. Stormtail adds that his kit is a natural fighter and that Moonflower would be proud of her. Bluepaw is stunned by Stormtail's words and wonders if her father is really pleased with her.
- Suddenly, a patrol consisting of Adderfang, Thrushpelt, and Thistlepaw bursts into camp, yowling that RiverClan has invaded their territory and crossed over the ice on the river to claim Sunningrocks. Pinestar, leaping into action, quickly constructs a battle plan. He calls together a patrol that he will lead to Sunningrocks, including Bluepaw and Snowpaw in it. He also sends Stormtail to lead another patrol to attack RiverClan from the other side, thinking that a second wave of attack would finish their enemies off. He leaves the rest of the warriors to guard the camp, fearing that RiverClan might attack their medicine supply in retaliation for ThunderClan's attack on WindClan. Pinestar's patrol races out of camp and to Sunningrocks to meet the RiverClan patrol. There, Bluepaw sees a large group of RiverClan warriors perched upon the rocks. Hailstar steps out from among them, declaring that the rocks belonged to his Clan again and that an ancient wrong has been put right. Pinestar hisses that they will never be RiverClan's and orders his own patrol to attack.
