Chapter description[]
- Tigerclaw and Mowgli return back to camp. Blackfoot questions whether Mowgli will be loyal, but the tabby tom reassures his doubts. As they enter, Tangleburr reports that ShadowClan wants them to hunt again. She says that Wetfoot agreed to meet a patrol at sunrise the next day, provided he agrees. Tigerclaw signals to her with a flick of his tail that she had been too quick to offer help. Clawface tries to nap before battle practice, but Tigerclaw orders him to train. Tigerclaw's inner voice says that these cats should make no decisions without him, otherwise they will feel more powerful. He promises that that will never happen, muscles tensing.
- The next day, Tigerclaw and his cats meet Wetfoot's hunting patrol at the border. After some discussion, he is the one to lead it, and they catch much prey. The patrol delivers this to camp, and Tigerclaw happily sits with Applefur, who asks him why he left ThunderClan, wanting to know the truth. Tigerclaw explains he cannot be part of a Clan who listens to a kittypet over their deputy, as he still cares about the warrior code. After admonishing Ratscar for mentioning Fireheart, Tigerclaw calls his cats together to leave. Runningnose pops out of Nightstar's den, asking if Tigerclaw will return the next day to arrange the hunting patrols, to which Tigerclaw agrees.
- The following day, he suggests to his patrol that they hunt on ThunderClan territory. This surprises the cats, but they are open to the idea. Whitethroat is unsure, and Clawface explains that it is rumored that Whitethroat fled to ThunderClan with Littlecloud when the sickness was at its worst. Tigerclaw is determined to test Whitethroat's loyalty to make sure it has not faltered. They cross the Thunderpath and start to hunt, and the tabby catches a mouse. However, they encounter a ThunderClan patrol, and Tigerclaw gets angry thinking about how they cast him out. He thinks that this is too good an opportunity to miss, and orders his ShadowClan cats to attack.
