Gray Wing, Clear Sky, and some others are out hunting when they hear Moon Shadow being attacked. They race to help him and fight off the rogues, but they only win because they outnumber the rogues. The tribe cats have no real fighting skills and the rogues realize this. Back at camp Tall Shadow is yelling at Moon Shadow for refusing to listen when it comes down to the forest. The next day Moon Shadow wants to go hunting so Clear Sky goes with him. Gray Wing doesn't want to go so Turtle Tail asks him to go for a walk with her. They go to the four oaks and lie on the great rock. While there a kittypet named Bumble comes over and introduces herself. They talk for a bit then part ways. Another day Gray Wing decides to go running. While out he sees Wind and Gorse chase a rabbit. He keeps back because he doesn't want to get into another argument with them. But when the rabbit runs into its burrow - and Wind follows - Gray Wing goes over to find out what is going on. He is fascinated by Wind running into the burrow and catching the rabbit. He asks Wind if he can do it too, so she goes into the tunnel with him. While down there he has a panic attack and Wind helps him out. The cats part ways wary but no longer hostile.
Cloud Spots and Dappled Pelt ask Gray Wing to go with them in their search for herbs. He does and as they return to camp he finds Turtle Tail talking to Bumble. Bumble is happy to see him but Turtle Tail acts guilty. Bumble invites them to see her home sometime and leaves. After she goes Gray Wing tells Turtle Tail that she shouldn't be so friendly with a kittypet. Turtle Tail seems upset by his judgment. That night while everyone is asleep Gray Wing smells the same scent from the dog like creatures from before. He realizes the camp in under attack and calls out a warning to everyone to wake them up.
Gray Wing, Clear Sky, and Turtle Tail attack the foxes together, helping to drive them out of the camp. After the attack, both Gray Wing and Clear Sky realize they need to learn how to fight. The next day Clear Sky and Moon Shadow announce that they want to leave and live under the trees. Tall Shadow calls a vote to see if the cats should split up. Clear Sky and Moon Shadow lose, but they argue it isn't fair to keep them there when they want to leave. Tall Shadow sadly tells them they can leave then.
Clear Sky, Moon Shadow, Jagged Peak, Falling Feather, and Quick Water all leave. The leaving cats assure the ones who are staying that they will remain friends and that their paths will cross all the time. Cloud Spots asks Gray Wing to go hunting. While out Cloud Spots tries to assure Gray Wing that things will be fine, but Gray Wing has a feeling that everything is changing. Later on, Gray Wing walks through the woods and runs into Turtle Tail. When she admits she has been to Bumble's Twoleg den the two of them get into a big fight. They part ways, angry, and then Gray Wing runs into his brothers. They invite him back to their camp, where Falling Feather tells him they might invite some rogues to live with them. On his way back to his camp Gray Wing runs into a hostile rogue, but he decides to be nice to her, prompting her to warn him about a wasp nest. Gray Wing goes back to camp and tries to smooth things over with Turtle Tail by inviting her hunting. However Turtle Tail lets a rabbit get away, causing them to fight again. Turtle Tail leaves and doesn't return to camp that night.
Now I really do feel like I am seeing the beginning of WindClan and ThunderClan. I do not see any good from Clear Sky leaving the tribe's camp. I have a feeling things are about to get very bad. However, inviting some of the rogues to live with them could be a good idea. It is better to live in peace with the rogues then to drive them out of their own territory. As for Turtle Tail, if Gray Wing doesn't return her love soon then she just might end up leaving to become a kittypet...
