Wind (book)/Cliffnotes

======
*Splashtail's point of view.
*Curlfeather and Splashtail talk at the edge of the lake, where no one can hear them.
*Curlfeather says Mistystar is close to death and it is time for Reedwhisker to die so that Curlfeather can become deputy and then leader.
*To Splashtail's surprise, Curlfeather says it will be him, not her, who will kill the deputy.
**Splashtail is surprised she never mentioned this.
**Curlfeather claims she must have an airtight alibi for Reedwhisker's death, to secure her position.
**When Splashtail hesitates, Curlfeather reminds him of the deputy position she promised him.
**Splashtail is worried he cannot do it or that Reedwhisker might kill him instead.
***Curlfeather says he has the element of surprise on his side.
*Splashtail begins to feel as though he is dong all the heavy lifting.
*Curlfeather reveals that she convinced Frostpaw that she has a connection to StarClan so that she can feed her daughter any information she wants, and Mistystar will listen.
* Both Splashtail and Curlfeather share a deep disregard for StarClan and plan to get RiverClan to turn their backs on their ancestors once they are in charge.
*Splashtail is bitter that he is putting his life on the line and that he will have to wait a long time to become leader, if he ever does at all. 
**Splashtail is also angry that Curlfeather will accept nine lives from StarClan, and thinks he will never do that.
*Curlfeather tells Splashtail to make sure Reedwhisker's death looks like an accident.
*After Curlfeather leaves, Splashtail decides he will kill her, too.
======
*Frostpaw's point of view.
*Frostpaw, Nightheart, Wasp, and Waffle watch as Podlight is proclaimed as RiverClan's new medicine cat and Splashtail as the new leader.
*Nightheart offers to Frostpaw that they could wait and go to each leader separately to explain the situation.
**She decides against it.
*Frostpaw enters the Gathering, and says Splashtail is a liar.
*She is met with surprise that she is alive. 
**Mothwing, Harelight, Graypaw, and Mistpaw are happy to see her.
**ThunderClan is happy to see Nightheart too.
*Frostpaw continues to explain.
**Sneezecloud and Breezeheart exclaim she isn't a medicine cat.
**Tigerstar gives Frostpaw a chance to explain further.
*She tells off Splashtail and Curlfeather's attempt to seize power. 
**Hawkwing, Poppyfrost, Scorchfur, and Duskfur challenge her.
*Frostpaw says she did not return to RiverClan because she did not know who to trust.
**RiverClan is hurt by the statement, especially Icewing and Harelight.
*Whistlepaw reveals her part in keeping Frostpaw's secret.
**Kestrelflight and the rest of WindClan are furious.
**Harestar says she will be punished.
*Duskfur challenges Frostpaw again.
**They have a back-and-forth of Duskfur's disbelieving questions and Frostpaw's defense. 
***The medicine cats say they cannot be sure if Frostpaw had real visions
*Splashtail steps forward to speak.
**He says he did not kill Reedwhisker or Curlfeather.
***He denies knowledge of Reedwhisker's murder.
**He claims Frostpaw is just confused from her mother's manipulation.
**He claims he knew of Curlfeather's plan but was only pretending to work with her.
**He implies Frostpaw is angry because he didn't reciprocate her feelings for him.

*The leaders are unsure who to believe, Frostpaw or Splashtail, and decide to let things play out.
======
*Nightheart's point of view.
*Nightheart and Sunbeam reunite happily.
*ThunderClan welcomes Nightheart back.
**Lilyheart, Bayshine, Spotfur with her kits, and Brambleclaw all excitedly speak to him.
*Bumblestripe and Thornclaw disaprove of Wasp and Waffle's presence.
*Nightheart tells Squirrelstar and Ivypool all about his journey with Frostpaw.
**He explains meditation and the lifestyle of the Cats of the Park.
*Nightheart doubles down on his trust for Frostpaw and his belief that she is right.
*Squirrelstar says she believes Frostpaw and wishes she could act but as a new leader feels she must wait.
**Ivypool and Nightheart wish to act but accept her decision.
*Squirrelstar says that Wasp and Waffle may stay as guests, but in a moon must decide where they will stay.
**The ThunderClan cats speak of their history to show that they have noble cats like Riverstar and stories that rival his.
**Nightheart is given the responsibility of the two cats, including feeding them.
======
*Sunbeam's point of view.
*Nightheart and Sunbeam are out hunting.
*They discuss Berryheart and having kits in the future.
*They are interrupted by a WindClan patrol.
**The patrol consists of Breezepelt, Woodsong, and Crouchfoot.
*They talk about Frostpaw and the current situation in RiverClan.
**Nightheart tells the WindClan cats he believes Frostpaw.
**Breezepelt says that Harestar believes there is something wrong, but is waiting to act.
**Nightheart says Squirrelstar feels the same way.

**Sunbeam's kin are in bad shape and Berryheart is injured.
*Sunbeam is worried about her kin.
======
*Frostpaw's point of view.
*In ShadowClan's camp, Frostpaw is welcomed by the medicine cats but the warriors are wary of her.
*Tigerstar calls a Clan meeting, inviting cats to share any grievances they might have with him as a leader.
**Frostpaw speaks up, saying his incursion into RiverClan was not good for either Clan.
***ShadowClan warriors agree with her. Grassheart and Gullswoop are named.
**Tigerstar agrees it was a mistake but defends his intentions.
**Tigerstar says conflicts should stay internal to ShadowClan so any cat who has a complaint should bring it to him. He also says that if they truly do not want him as leader, he would step down, rather than look weak in front of the other Clans.
***Lightleap does not like the idea of her father stepping down.
**Cloverfoot agrees and says he should stay as leader, but it would be good if he listened to his Clanmates more.
*Tigerstar calls Frostpaw over and asks why she challenged him when he was kind enough to let her stay. She says it was kind to let her stay, but she will not hold her tongue.
**He is amused at her response.
*Frostpaw says she would like to know what is going on in RiverClan.
**Tigerstar agrees, saying she may go but cannot involve ShadowClan.
*Frostpaw enters RiverClan territory.
**She approaches the camp, hearing yowls and presuming there is a battle.
**Instead, Splashtail is training warriors fiercely.
*Splashtail is planning revenge against ShadowClan.

*Splashtail has not yet received his nine lives.
**Duskfur expresses annoyance over this.
*Frostpaw thinks Splashtail may be planning to never go to the Moonpool at all.
*Mothwing spots Frostpaw and invites her to talk.
**She believes Frostpaw about Splashtail. 
***Mothwing has tried convincing her Clanmates that Splashtail is a bad idea with no luck.
**Mothwing cannot leave RiverClan as Podlight is not able to treat cats effectively yet.
**She says Icewing, Duskfur, Graypaw, and Mistpaw all have small misgivings about Splashtail, but the relief at finally having a leader supersedes them.
*Mothwing thinks Splashtail will exile her if she speaks out against him.
======
*Nightheart's point of view.
*Nightheart is working on Wasp and Waffle's hunting with the help of Sunbeam and Finchlight.
**Waffle wants to catch a squirrel, but the guests are not allowed to hunt on Clan territory.
**Waffle asks about Nightheart's thanks to StarClan after he catches the squirrel.
*Nightheart struggles to stop the guests from wanting to go to RiverClan, concerned about their safety under Splashtail's leadership, or disappointment at never being able to join.
*He takes them to the Elders' den to hear stories. 
**They tell the stories of the Dark Forest, Brambleclaw's time there, the Great Battle, the Great Journey, and SkyClan's restoration.
**Ivypool calls Nightheart away for a patrol.
*Sunbeam is very worried for her kin and contemplates sneaking out to see them without Squirrelstar's permission.
**Nightheart convinces her to talk to Squirrelstar.
======
*Sunbeam's point of view.
*Though indecisive, Sunbeam makes it to Squirrelstar's den.
**Squirrelstar is unable to openly give her permission, but her tone indicates she can go.
*Nightheart asks Sunbeam not to go but relents as he realizes how important it is.
**Nightheart feels he cannot go as he is responsible for Wasp and Waffle.
**Nightheart also makes sure Sunbeam will not bring her kin to ThunderClan.
***Sunbeam assures him that her mother would never do it anyway.
*Sunbeam decides to take the long way around, to avoid WindClan cats.
*She bumps into Smoky, who asks after Frostpaw.
**Sunbeam does not give him many details but assures him she is ok.
*Sunbeam finds her kin.
**They are skinny and Berryheart is injured, her wound infected, and unwilling to eat.
**Sunbeam suggests they ask the barn cats for help.
**Berryheart rejects the idea and refuses to go to Tigerstar either, blaming him for the ordeal.
*Sunbeam asks Berryheart about Splashtail, but she does not answer.
*Sunbeam notices Hollowspring and Sparrowtail do not seem as stubborn as Berryheart. She takes Hollowspring hunting.
**Hollowspring says he misses his Clan and Berryheart does too. They are also struggling with the lack of prey.
*On her way back to ThunderClan, Sunbeam forgets to take the long way around and is almost caught by a WindClan patrol.
**She escapes by climbing a tree.
**The patrolling cats are Flutterfoot, Brindlewing, and Sedgewhisker.
======
*Frostpaw's point of view.
*Frostpaw asks Puddleshine and Shadowsight if she can accompany them to the half-moon meeting.
**Shadowsight wants to let her go.
***Shadowsight believes Frostpaw has a connection to StarClan and her story as a whole.
**As the senior medicine cat, Puddleshine says she cannot go as it would stir up too much trouble.
**Frostpaw says she will make it clear she is doing this on her own.
**Puddleshine begrudgingly relents even though he believes it will end badly.
*Frostpaw arrives at the Moonpool to see there are no RiverClan cats.
*The other medicine cats debate whether to let her stay or not.
**Alderheart and Frecklewish say she should.
**Kestrelfight disapproves, hinting at what happened with Whistlepaw.
**It falls to Jayfeather, who says StarClan will let them know if they disapprove.
*Mothwing and Podlight arrive late.
**Jayfeather doubts Podlight's connection to StarClan.
**Podlight relates his visions and they sound plausible.
**Podlight launches a verbal attack on Frostpaw.
***Frostpaw fights back.
***The cats are unconvinced of either side.
*Podlight reveals Splashtail has not yet received his nine lives.
**The other medicine cats are outraged.
**If Splashtail does not receive his lives soon, the medicine cats will believe Frostpaw over Podlight.
***Frecklewish says Leafstar may withdraw her support of Splashtail if he does not receive the lives.
*Podlight undergoes the medicine cat ceremony. 
**The other cats do not call his name at the end.
*Frostpaw has a disturbing vision where a shadow falls upon a river that is then drained into an abyss.
**Fidgetflake and Frecklewish seem unsure of the validity of the vision.
**Alderheart says that if the vision is true, RiverClan is in danger of disappearing.
**Frecklewish cites the shadow as ShadowClan and thinks Frostpaw is the danger.
***Jayfeather says Frostpaw would not make up a vision that places the blame on herself, pointing out his hypocrisy.
*Alderheart, Shadowsight, and Jayfeather seem to believe Frostpaw while Fidgetflake, Frecklewish, and Kestrelflight do not.
**Puddleshine says he will reserve judgment until he receives a proper sign.
======
*Nightheart's point of view.
*Nightheart keeps watch outside the medicine den while Sunbeam takes herbs for her mother.
**He spots Alderheart and Jayfeather and has to stall them so he asks them about Frostpaw.
***Jayfeather says she is a strong cat.
**Sunbeam slips away successfully.
*The medicine cats go to speak with Squirrelstar about Frostpaw.
**Jayfeather disapproves of the leader's decision not to act, but relents.
*Nightheart speaks to Squirrelstar about Frostpaw as well and she decides to visit Frostpaw in ShadowClan.
**Nightheart tells Wasp and Waffle he is leaving. Waffle is confident but Wasp is uneasy about being left alone.
*Nightheart is uneasy around Lightleap, one of the patrols escorting him and Squirrelstar to the ShadowClan camp.
**The other cats on the patrol are Yarrowleaf and Hopwhisker.
**Lightleap seems relieved to leave when she is asked to fetch Frostpaw.
*Tigerstar, Squirrelstar, Frostpaw, and Nightheart talk.
**Squirrelstar is brought up to speed.
**Tigerstar is training his warriors in response to Splashtail's training.
**Squirrelstar concludes that, with or without Splashtail, RiverClan is in trouble.
======
*Sunbeam's point of view.
*With Nightheart gone, Sunbeam needs someone else to help her. She picks Bayshine.
**He agrees to help happily and tells Ivypool they are going hunting.
**On the edge of the border they separate, with Bayshine going hunting to support his story.
*Sunbeam almost injures herself at the Thunderpath.
*Berryheart's condition has worsened.
**She refuses Sunbeam's herbs.
*Sunbeam goes hunting with Sparrowtail.
**He says he will sneak the herbs into Berryheart's food.
**He agrees that she needs to see a medicine cat.

**The cats on the patrol are Crowfeather, Appleshine, and Hootwhisker.
*Sunbeam is taken to see Harestar.
**She has a chance to talk to Whistlepaw.

*Harestar says he will not punish her, but Sunbeam must stay the night in WindClan.
======
*Frostpaw's point of view.
*Frostpaw decides to go to the Moonpool and watch secretly to see if Splashtail receives his nine lives.
*She asks Puddleshine to come as a reliable witness and he agrees.
*They head to the Moonpool.
**They scent foxes and move away quickly.
**Puddleshine asks about Frostpaw's vision again
***Neither cat can think what it means.
*They arrive at the Moonpool and Splashtail and Podlight are not there yet.
**Frostpaw and Puddleshine find a place to hide.
**They also disguise their scent.
*Splashtail and Podlight arrive.
**Mothwing stayed behind in camp to deliver Splashtail's siblings.
***Splashtail and Podlight are pleased she was not able to come.
**Splashtail asks if they were followed; Podlight thinks they were not.
***Duskfur and Icewing are suspicious of them, so Splashtail thinks they might have tried to follow him.
*Splashtail and Podlight discuss how long they should wait around, revealing they are not going to attempt to reach StarClan.
**They discuss what might happen at nine lives ceremonies.

**Squirrelstar tells the medicine cats and Nightheart to come listen to Tigerstar.
*Tigerstar tells them what Puddleshine and Frostpaw witnessed at the Moonpool.
**Tigerstar believes Riverstar's appearance is a sign that the other clans should intervene. 
***Squirrelstar disagrees.
***Tigerstar implies Duskfur would be an okay leader for RiverClan.
*Squirrelstar does not want to shed blood over this issue but is concerned. 
**She cites the recent addition to the warrior code which means Splashtail could later be removed by RiverClan.
**The other cats convince her that he can harm the other Clans too, but she is still unwilling to fight over it.
*Squirrelstar says they need WindClan's help to stand against RiverClan and SkyClan, implying a non-violent confrontation.
*Wasp and Waffle are discovered eavesdropping.
======
* Sunbeam's point of view.
* Sunbeam watches the meeting nervously but is unable to hear anything.

* It is the night of the Gathering.
*Podlight says that Splashtail received his nine lives and is now Splashstar.
*Frostpaw calls him a liar boldly.
**Splashtail calls her a liar in turn and asks Tigerstar to turn her out of ShadowClan.

======

**She tells them she has an urgent warning for Harestar and Kestrelflight.
**They mock her; they do not believe she is a real medicine cat.
*She tells them WindClan's kits are in danger; she thinks a tree branch will fall on the nursery.
**There are no trees near the WindClan camp.
* They eventually agree to fetch Kestrelflight. 
**Kestrelflight agrees to protect the nursery, just in case, but does not think the danger could be an actual tree.
*Frostpaw realizes she will not make it back to ShadowClan camp in time and turns towards ThunderClan's camp.
**She hopes ThunderClan will give WindClan the help she is sure it needs.
======
*Nightheart's point of view.
*Nightheart and Sunbeam are preparing for the storm.
**Sunbeam is trying to distract herself from her worry.

* Nightheart sees Frostpaw enter the camp with Finleap and Bayshine.
*Frostpaw begs Squirrelstar to help WindClan.
*Nightheart and Sunbeam volunteer to go and Squirrelstar lets them.
======
* Sunbeam's point of view.
*The three cats journey to WindClan, greatly impeded by the storm.
*They all see lightning hit a tree near WindClan's camp, and see the tree fall into the camp.
*They race to the camp to see the tree crashed into the nursery; warriors trying to free anyone trapped inside. 
**Whistlepaw is so anxious to help that she is hurting herself.

*Whistlepaw is badly injured and unconscious.
*Kestrelflight blames himself for not listening to Frostpaw and says he will never doubt her again.
======
*Frostpaw's point of view.
* Frostpaw treats Whistlepaw's injuries. They talk about what has happened and that Whistlepaw always believed Frostpaw, even when her Clanmates did not,
*Kestrelflight admits he was wrong and apologizes to both of them. He fully believes Frostpaw now.
*Harestar also expresses belief in her whole story but believes it is RiverClan that should oust Splashtail. He will not act until they do.

**Nightheart and Sunbeam are invited to join.
***Nightheart sends Wafflepaw out to train with the other apprentices and their mentors, telling him not to worry about Wasp.
**Tigerstar is worried because he shares a border with RiverClan and his warriors are in more direct danger.
**He is also worried that Splashtail might silence Icewing, Duskfur, and Mothwing, or that their plan will simply not work.
*Frostpaw volunteers to spy on RiverClan.
**Nightheart and Sunbeam go with her.
======
*Nightheart's point of view.
* Before they can leave, Wasp is escorted into camp by Sneezecloud and Gorseclaw of RiverClan.

======

======
*Frostpaw's point of view.
