The ThunderClan patrol places their border markings a few paw steps over the border, which Cloudstar mentions to Buzzardtail as they head back to camp.
Buzzardtail says that they wouldn't have that kind of problem with ThunderClan if Darkstar hadn't given up a strip of territory to ThunderClan when he was leader.
Cloudstar says that, although they may be rivals, if one Clan was starving to death it was the other Clan's duty to help them.
When they return to camp Hazelwing'skits run up to Cloudstar, saying that their mother promised he would teach them a battle move.
After Cloudstar has sent the kits to a hazel bush to wait he speaks to his mateBirdflight.
He thinks to himself that his Clan is happy and safe, and how Birdflight will soon have their kits.
A hunting patrol returns, and to Cloudstar's surprise, only Snailpaw has any prey. Fernpelt tells him that the Twolegs made so much noise they had scared off all the prey along the border.
She reports of an omen of prey with missing body parts, and the apprentices are not to blame.

After a short sleep, Cloudstar goes on patrol at the ThunderClan border.
Redstar, the leader of ThunderClan, challenges Cloudstar, and asks of the noises that has come over the border.
Stoatfur questions if they should have told Redstar the truth and that they needed help.

Back at camp, Cloudstar sadly tells his Clan that they lost the battle and Birdflight is very concerned.
Cloudstar orders Buzzardtail to go straight to Fawnstep the medicine cat.
All around the clearing, queens and elders quietly speak with the returning warriors, and Cloudstar wonders if StarClan was even watching them today.
Cloudstar addresses his Clanmates and tells them that the reason they lost is that ThunderClan fought harder and better. He says that they wanted victory more than SkyClan.
The warriors seem guilty about letting their Clanmates down. Cloudstar knows that they gave all they could but they were outnumbered, hungry, and exhausted from too many pointless hunting patrols.
Cloudstar encourages his Clan, and is relieved that his Clan still cheers and that he has not lost their faith.
He goes to sleep but is startled awake by Fawnstep who needs to speak to him. Cloudstar immediately worries that Birdflight is having her kits.
Fawnstep sounds worried but replies that she had a dream. In her dream, SkyClan was leaving the forest at a Gathering. Cloudstar is outraged but Fawnstep sadly replies that there will be no territory left for the cats. Fawnstep tells Cloudstar that this was a battle that should not have been lost, and a defeat that they cannot survive.
