Chapter description

Sharpclaw is yowling and clawing upward out of the gorge, followed by Patchfoot. Petalnose and Leafstar join the two cats. Petalnose and Sharpclaw yell at Sagepaw to stay still as his paws slowly lose grip of the cliff he is barely hanging on to. Leafstar glances down at the bottom of the cliff and notice Ebonyclaw and Rockshade glancing up at the dangling cat, but unable to help. Sagepaw lets out a shriek as he proclaims that he can't hold on any longer and falls to the bottom of the cave, laying motionless for all cats around to see.

Leafstar quickly leaps to the critically injured apprentice and sniffs him. Petalnose quickly runs next to her, asking and praying to StarClan to let her son live. Leafstar relieved her worries saying he is just unconscious. Patchfoot caught a glimpse at Sagepaw and quickly ran for Echosong. Petalnose crouches next to her son, pleading for him to wake up, repeating that she is the blame for his accident. Leafstar remembers the time Firestar had told her that forest cats never mentor their own kin and are coming to terms with his point.

Leafstar tells the worried she-cat that it was an accident she had no control of. She glances over her shoulder and sees a band of cats, Sharpclaw, Sparrowpelt, Tinycloud, Ebonyclaw, Rockshade and Shrewtooth making their way to the scene. Sharpclaw begins self-loathing, but Leafstar quickly dismisses his anger but is quickly cut off short by Shrewtooth's shriek, claiming that Sagepaw is dead. Petalnose begins to stare at the tom in horror, and the SkyClan leader quickly shuts him down, telling him to stop terrifying cats who don't know what is happening to the apprentice. Shrewtooth opens his mouth to start yelling more but apologizes and walks away to wet moss into the river.

Leafstar takes a closer look at Sagepaw's limp body and sees that his breathing is becoming steady. After one last examination, she notices that his leg was at an awkward angle, maybe even broken. Echosong quickly approaches and tells everyone to back away. The medicine cat tells Petalnose that she can stay and watch as long as she can compose her emotions. Petalsong agrees and begs her to save her son. Leafstar remembers the amount of loss that Petalsong already has gone through, like the death of her mate Rainfur when the new SkyClan had battled against rats.

As Echosong is running her paws lightly of Sagepaw's fur, he whispers under his breath, Rainfur's name. Petalnose tells him that it is only her, and he replies saying he almost thought he had walked into StarClan. As soon as he attempts to sand, a surge of pain flushes throughout his body.
