:* [[Bright Stream]] and her Tribemates - [[Cloud Spots]], [[Gray Wing]], [[Jagged Peak]], [[Turtle Tail]], [[Shaded Moss]], [[Shadowstar|Tall Shadow]], [[Rainswept Flower]] - are trapped under an overhang because there are eagles overhead, and are growing impatient, cold, and hungry.
:* The day slowly drags on, and one of the eagles tries to reach into the overhang.
:** It goes away eventually.
:* [[Skystar|Clear Sky]] decides that they need to act.
:** There are protests at first, but Gray Wing says they should hear Clear Sky out.
:* Clear Sky describes the plan: he and three other cats would attack the eagles, while Gray Wing would lead another three to draw the rest of the eagles away.
:** The Tribe cats decide to act on this plan.
:* Shaded Moss decides Turtle Tail, Bright Spots, and Bright Stream will go with Gray Wing.
:** Clear Sky objects, thinking of Bright Stream's and his unborn kits.
:*** Bright Stream tells her mate she'll be fine.
:* Bright Stream cautiously follows her group into the open, and they caterwaul to get the eagles' attention.
:** Gray Wing yowls for Cloud Spots and Turtle Tail to lure the birds down and hide in between some boulders.
:** Bright Stream realize the plan won't work unless all four eagles are distracted; two are still on the crag.
:* Bright Stream tells Gray Wing she will lure the other two eagles.
:** She goes into the open and pretends to be injured to lure the eagles; it works and she gets to safety just in time.
:* Bright Stream sees Clear Sky leading his group to swarm the lone eagle.
:* She and Gray Wing go into the open, and an eagle attacks Gray Wing, and she pushes the tom to safety, but gets captured in the process.
:* Gray Wing tries to save her but fails; he yowls for her to fight back.
:** Bright Stream tries to fight back against the eagle, but her efforts are futile.
:* Bright Stream's strength fades, and she sees her Tribemates in the distance.
:** She has a brief vision of her and Clear Sky playing with their kits, but know it will never happen.
:*** Bright Stream succumbs to her fate and passes away.
