Jaypaw feels excitement, still remembering Brook and Stormfur's rejection from the Tribe, but he only picks up cautious interest from the ThunderClan cats.

Brook meows that they never had to share territory before, and didn't know what to do about such a large group of cats. Stormfur continues explaining that he thought they needed strength to defend their territory, and led the Tribe cats into a battle to make sure the strangers wouldn't bother them or steal their prey. Night mews that the [[Rogue|rogues]] tore the Tribe to pieces, and Stormfur explains that Tribe cats aren’t trained to fight like [[General Clan information|Clan]] cats, and they lost the battle, with several cats dead.

Chapter description
- Jaypaw is woken as Hollypaw calls his name and nudges his side, her scent tinged with exasperation. The gray apprentice lurches on his paws, confused at the sudden return to blindness and the scents and stones of the stone hollow. Jaypaw still feels overwhelmed with the feelings of grief, anger, and betrayal he had felt in the cave, and he realizes that he was feeling what Brook felt. He thinks that he was awake the whole time so it couldn’t have been a dream, and wonders if he found a way into her memories.
- Jaypaw sharply draws in his breath, and is excited at the thought of a new and different power, but he has no time to explore it now. Lionpaw expresses his confusion at how Jaypaw can daydream at a time like that, and mews that they must listen to find out the reason the strange cats came. Jaypaw reflects that it felt like he had been with the Tribe for several days, when only a few heartbeats had passed in the clearing. The newcomers still crouch beside the fresh-kill pile with Stormfur, Brook, and Firestar, and Jaypaw murmurs that he thinks he knows why, and that he doesn't think Stormfur and Brook will be too pleased to see them. Hollypaw is confused, and asks why they wouldn’t want to see their Tribemates, but before Jaypaw can explain, Talon's harsh voice tells Firestar that they came to ask Stormfur and Brook to return to the mountains, as the Tribe needs them. Jaypaw feels excitement, still remembering Brook and Stormfur's rejection from the Tribe, but he only picks up cautious interest from the ThunderClan cats. Stormfur is shocked, his voice a low snarl of outrage, and he demands how they dare to come and ask that, as he and Brook are viewed as dead to the tribe.
- The ThunderClan cats let out gasps of astonishment, and with a shrug, Jaypaw reminds his littermates he told them. Firestar asks Stormfur to explain, and though his voice is calm, Jaypaw knows he is concerned for the two cats who had lived in ThunderClan. Stormfur begins to recount the story of the invading cats, but Jaypaw doesn't listen, as he already lived through it and is more interested in finding out how he had done it. He thinks that he must have been in Brook's memories, but although he tries again, the tabby she-cat is concentrating on her mate's words and the reactions of other cats; her memories are blank. Stormfur stops talking at the sound of cats entering the thorn tunnel, and Brambleclaw calls out that they scented the intruders. Firestar replies that the intruders are there, and Jaypaw realizes that Sandstorm and Squirrelflight are with the deputy. Squirrelflight greets Talon and Night, mentioning that she thought she recognized Tribe scent, and Lionpaw murmurs that it is strange to think their parents spent so much time with the Tribe. Hollypaw purrs that they aren't the only ones capable of adventures, and Squirrelflight tells the mountain cats that it is great to see them, but she asks why they are there, and why every cat looks so shocked. Firestar advises her to listen to Stormfur's story, and the gray warrior continues speaking. After seeing him in Brook's memories, Jaypaw can now picture him as strong and sleek-furred, anger smoldering in his eyes.
- Stormfur goes on that not long after the Clans left on the Great Journey, another group of strange cats came to the mountains. Brook explains that at first the Tribe thought they were only passing through, and would have welcomed them as guests, but Stormfur goes on that they made it clear they intended on settling, and took prey from the Tribe, even hunting close to the cave behind the waterfall.
