Chapter description[]

Mudfur worriedly calls for Brambleberry to check in on his pregnant mate Brightsky, who is still ill with a fever she developed a few days ago. Brightsky's apprentice, Graypaw, blames herself for Brightsky's illness since she had to rescue her apprentice from Twolegs, but Crookedjaw attempts to reassure her. Rippleclaw offers to teach her some battle moves while her new mentor Piketooth is busy playing with the kits. Piketooth's son, Blackkit, scrambles underneath Crookedjaw's belly to hide from his denmates. His littermate Skykit leads the search for Blackkit with Otterslash's younger kits, Loudkit, Sedgekit, and Reedkit, right behind her. The warriors discuss when Hailstar plans on reclaiming Sunningrocks from ThunderClan, and Rainflower mentions how Hailstar hopes to reclaim them without a fight. When Shellheart's patrol returns, Hailstar calls for a Clan meeting: he plans to retake Sunningrocks that night by remarking the border. The RiverClan leader announces he'll be taking Shellheart, Owlfur, Echomist, Timberfur, Softwing, Rippleclaw, Whitefang, Voleclaw, Oakheart, and Crookedjaw with him.
Beetlenose objects to not being invited on the patrol, and he challenges Crookedjaw over his qualifications since he's only been a warrior for less than a moon. Shellheart encourages Crookedjaw to speak candidly to Beetlenose. Crookedjaw commends how much he learned from all his Clanmates, including Beetlenose, and that he'll be marking the new border in their honor. The black warrior is satisfied with Crookedjaw's response, and Oakheart and Shellheart praise his wisdom. Pleased he'll be going on his first mission as a new warrior, Crookedjaw plays with the kits until moonhigh. That night, Hailstar leads his patrol across the river under the claw moon. The RiverClan leader checks for patrols and then signals the all clear. He orders his warriors to drench the tree line with their scent. After the patrol is finished, Shellheart, Timberfur, Echomist, and Owlfur stay behind to guard Sunningrocks. The remaining warriors return to camp with news of their victory.
Two days later, Oakheart remarks to Crookedjaw how ThunderClan hasn't attempted to reclaim Sunningrocks. The two littermates, Fallowtail, and Whitefang have arrived to relieve the guard patrol still stationed at Sunningrocks to monitor for signs of invasion. Mudfur worriedly returns back to camp, still fretting over Brightsky's illness with their kits due soon; Fallowtail asks Petaldust to send word if anything changes about the sick queen's condition. While guarding, the patrol detects fresh ThunderClan scent, and Oakheart recognizes Bluefur's scent. He calls out to her from the tree line, but the ThunderClan patrol whisks away. Crookedjaw comments on his brother's closeness with the ThunderClan warrior, but Oakheart exclaims that he moons over Willowpaw. The two toms tussle playfully until Fallowtail admonishes them. They spot ThunderClan cats in the undergrowth, clearly watching the RiverClan patrol, and Crookedjaw feels satisfaction defending his Clan's territory.
