Crowfeather's Trial/Chapter 25

==Chapter description==
:Heathertail yowls about the destruction in camp. Crowfeather's belly clenches as he realizes that the stoats had attacked. The first cat they see is Emberfoot. He fixes an angry glare on them as he exclaims to Onestar that the patrol is back. The Clan leader is furious at Gorsetail, Heathertail, and Breezepelt for leaving camp without telling him. He tells them that the stoats were able to attack because their border was not being watched and that it was a terrible battle and many cats were injured. Heathertail looks down guiltily at her paws. Nightcloud steps forward, and Onestar stares at her wide-eyed. She tells him that she is well thanks to the patrol that rescued her. Onestar is very glad to see her.
:Onestar tells Heathertail that when he couldn't find her after the battle, he thought the stoats got her. He asks her how she thinks he would've felt then. Heathertail responds that she had to go, and Onestar tells her that that was very noble, but they all cost him one life. Breezepelt said that it wasn't their fault and that if Onestar let them finish blocking the tunnels, the stoats wouldn't have gotten out. Onestar snaps at him that that he thinks Breezepelt had learned his lesson after the Great Battle, but now he isn't so sure. Breezepelt says that he is a loyal WindClan cat, and Onestar says that he will be watching him. Onestar tells the patrol that they have to rebuild the camp and help the injured cats. He tells Heathertail to go help Kestrelflight, and he tells Breezepelt and Gorsetail to help rebuild the camp. He looks down at Hootpaw and tells him that he is not going to punish him, but asks the apprentice to think about what he did. Crowfeather overhears Hootpaw telling the other apprentices about the amazing journey and thinks to himself that he hopes Onestar didn't hear that.
:Onestar turns back to Nightcloud and tells her to rest, but Nightcloud responds that she was in a Twoleg den for the last quarter moon and would like to help out. She runs over to Kestrelflight's den after getting orders from Onestar. Onestar apologizes to Crowfeather and lets him come back to WindClan, but tells him not to get under his fur again. He tells him to go to Kestrelflight's den to see if the medicine cat needs help. Crowfeather overhears Crouchfoot and Whiskernose talking to themselves that the stoats must've been ghosts. Kestrelflight abruptly meows that the stoats are not ghosts. Crowfeather persuades Kestrelflight to rest, and they both agree they need help from another Clan. Crowfeather eventually persuades the Clan leader to ask for ThunderClan's and RiverClan's Medicine cat.
