Feathertail and the others are herded away. They are left to go to sleep and will be sent away in the morning. The cats decide they have to come back and rescue Stormfur. As Feathertail falls asleep she hears the waterfall talking to her about the promised gray warrior. She silently argues with the waterfall, but it does not respond. The next morning the cave guards escort them to the edge of their territory. The clan cats pretend to leave, cover themselves in mud, and go back. As they approach the cave they see Sharptooth enter.
The cats sneak in in the confusion. Sharptooth is attacking the tribe cats who are trying to defend themselves but failing. Sharptooth grabs Star, a cat they had previously met, and leaves. The clan cats find Stormfur and and make a break for it before anyone realizes what has happened.
Back at the camp Cinderpelt reports to Firestar about the rabbits. Sandstorm says maybe their rabbits are safe but Firestar does not want to risk it. Leafpaw starts to drag away a rabbit from the fresh kill pile when Dappletail sees her. They tell Dappletail that the rabbits are no longer safe to eat. She freaks out, accuses WindClan of lying, darts around Leafpaw, and starts to eat the rabbit. Firestar gets her to stop but angrily taunts Firestar, calling him a bad leader, before storming off. Leafpaw and Cinderpelt go out to collect herbs. Spiderpaw finds them and tells Cinderpelt that Dappletail is sick. Cinderpelt leaves Leafpaw to collect herbs and goes back to camp, afraid for Dappletail. Leafpaw hears a cat crying for help. She sees a young cat stuck in the river, about to drown. While she tries to decide what to do, knowing that if she jumps in she will probably drown too, Mothwing sees the cat and saves it. Leafpaw hurries across the rocks to help Mothwing. Mistyfoot and Hawkfrost arrive, and Mothwing offers to go get Mudfur but Hawkfrost points out there is no time. Mothwing freezes and Leafpaw, with the help of Spottedleaf's spirit, saves the young cat. Mistyfoot and Hawkfrost escort Reedpaw back to their camp and Mothwing is upset. Leafpaw tries to comfort her but Mothwing won't hear her. She fears that Hawkfrost will tell the rest of the clan how she froze. Leafpaw can't image her brother doing that to her, but Mothwing insists that Hawkfrost is loyal to the clan and the clan alone. They part ways and Leafpaw heads back to camp, excited how well she did her first time alone, but she is almost knocked over by warriors rushing out. In the camp cats everywhere are crying. Dappletail is dead - and Cloudtail and Brightheart are missing.

The clan cats escape into the night but quickly lose their way. They find a cave to shelter in but it smells of the tribe. Tawnypelt checks it out and lets everyone know it is empty and safe. The cats go in but after they do cats who smell of the tribe but don't arrive.
So I feel bad for both the tribe and Stonefur. If the prophecy is about him then he is failing it - and those cats are desperate. I'm not saying they should have kidnapped him, but they should have asked for help. And I do feel bad for Stormfur. He was obviously starting to grow to care about these cats and then all of this had to happen. He really must be feeling torn right now - especially since he knows how desperate they are.
As for Hawkfrost, I want to be judging him too harshly but I do not feel that I am. But even more now I am convinced that there is something up with these two cats. Mothwing freezing like that, her previous disregard for the warrior code, her coldness when Leafpaw met her. And Hawkfrost with his cold ambition. I feel that there is something wrong here, something more then possibly being related to Tigerstar - which I wonder if Leopardstar knows?
