Graystripe's Vow/Cliffnotes

======
*Gremlin and Snake hide behind a holly bush. 
*Snake tells Gremlin he has found the two cats, and their names are Firestar and Sandstorm.
**They decide to report this to Fury.
*Gremlin believes it is a bad time for her unborn kits, as BloodClan wants to avenge the death of their previous leader, Scourge.
**They recall how he fell at the paws of Firestar and the forest Clans.
*They see Fury, the latest BloodClan leader, and report their sightings to her. 
**Fury announces that BloodClan will have revenge soon. 
*The cats cheer, but Gremlin is reluctant to fight, thinking about her unborn kits and the danger they would be put in.
======
*Graystripe recalls how the impostor had separated ThunderClan and caused many deaths, such as Stemleaf and Millie.
*He recaps on how in leaf-bare, Bramblestar had lost his first life, giving way for an impostor to take control of his body.
**He recalls how the Clans listened to him, not knowing that Bramblestar was an impostor, and leaders who were normally calm and collected starting feeling anxious, exiling codebreakers. 
**Graystripe feels guilty about not standing up to the fake Bramblestar.
*Scanning the camp for his kin, he sees Bumblestripe with Shellfur, and Lionblaze giving Spotfur some prey.
*Squirrelflight orders the younger cats to go hunting with her, but they ignore her until she glares at them.
**Graystripe notices Thornclaw not supporting Squirrelflight, so he questions the senior warrior.
**Thornclaw does not believe that Squirrelflight is the Clan's rightful leader, since she left in exile.
**Graystripe defends Squirrelflight, saying she is ThunderClan's leader.
*Squirrelflight asks Graystripe if she can count on him for help on how to be a good temporary leader.
**He tells her about his vow to Firestar.
**Graystripe thinks about how the Clan has changed and doubts his place in ThunderClan.
**Despite his doubts, he assures Squirrelflight that he will help her.
======
*Graystripe pads through the forest.
**He thinks he sees Firestar, but isn't sure.
*Firestar points to the sky, causing Graystripe to think he is showing something.
*Graystripe wakes up from his dream and finds himself in the elder's den.
**He goes outside.
**He imagines himself talking to Millie for advice.
*Graystripe hears Plumstone and Thriftear arguing over a mouse. 
**He is told that he is an elder, and elders don't make decisions, only warriors.
*Lionblaze and Thornclaw argue about the nepotism in ThunderClan's leadership and Lionblaze's promotion to deputy.
**Cats get involved, and Graystripe watches a huge argument unfold.
**This results in Flipclaw, Flywhisker, and Snaptooth leaving ThunderClan for a wander, with a moon to return.
**Graystripe decides to leave ThunderClan, stating that the present ThunderClan isn't the one he served.
***Squirrelflight is shocked, but lets him go.
*Graystripe guiltily thinks about the promise he broke to Squirrelflight.
======
*Graystripe overhears Brightheart and Ferncloud talking about Firestar's absence.
*He is woken up by Cinderpelt, and he compliments Ashfur's patrol, but Ashfur returns his kind gesture with a sneer, mocking Firestar and Sandstorm.
**The cats discuss Firestar's absence, and Ashfur states that Dustpelt should be made deputy.
**Cinderpelt retorts that Graystripe does not have the power to do that, her gaze silencing the warriors.
*As soon as Graystripe turns away, Brackenfur's patrol brings up evidence of WindClan on their territory.
**Graystripe decides not to confront WindClan, much to the disappointment of every cat.
**Graystripe wonders if Brackenfur is disappointed in him.
======
*Thornclaw suggests a hunt, and the patrol agrees.
**They run into a SkyClan patrol, and Snaptooth reveals that they are leaving ThunderClan, surprising the SkyClan cats.
*Graystripe catches a fat rabbit, to the amazement of his younger Clanmates.
*Flipclaw reveals that he likes Flywhisker, but she rejects him.
*Thornclaw leaves, and Graystripe reveals that he plans on visiting the Tribe of Rushing Water, and his son, Stormfur.
**This shocks the remaining warriors.
======
*Graystripe hears Brightheart's cries from the nursery.
**He realizes that she is kitting.
*Graystripe and Cloudtail fetch herbs for Cinderpelt.
**He thinks that Brightheart will die just like Silverstream, but gets himself out of his dark thoughts.
*Brightheart gives birth to one she-kit.
**Spiderkit and Shrewkit want to play with the newborn kit, but are told to wait by Ferncloud.
*Graystripe announces Brightheart's kit, and welcomes the new life to the Clan.
*He asks Ashfur to take a patrol to Sunningrocks.
*Thornclaw reports that WindClan has been crossing ThunderClan's border.
*Graystripe calls a Clan meeting.
**Thornclaw tells the Clan what happened.
**Cloudtail suggests that Graystripe confront Tallstar.
***Many cats agree.
*Mousefur's patrol returns and Mousefur says that Russetfur and Rowanclaw want to speak to Firestar.
**Graystripe wonders what could go wrong.
======
*Flywhisker suggests a hunt, and Graystripe agrees. It is noted that none of the cats have decided whether they want to follow Graystripe or go on their own path.
*Graystripe is about to hunt a vole when Snaptooth alerts the patrol of dogs.
**The patrol climbs up a tree, and after some Twoleg interference, the patrol is safe.
*Graystripe announces that he will leave then, shocking the other cats.
**Initially, no cats follow him.
**He is surprised yet joyful when Flipclaw catches up to him, telling him that he will come to keep the elder company.
======
*Graystripe asks Mousefur if the ShadowClan cats are at their camp.
**He is worried about how he will explain Firestar's absence.
**Mousefur says that she ran ahead to warn Graystripe, but they are on their way.
*Graystripe says ShadowClan can come into camp, and orders ThunderClan to continue their duties as normal.
**Graystripe orders them not to mention the trouble with WindClan.
*Russetfur and Rowanclaw enter the camp, with Brackenfur and Dustpelt tailing them.
**They ask for Firestar, but Graystripe replies that he is out of camp, so Russetfur and Rowanclaw say they will wait.
**Graystripe reminds them that he is the deputy.
**Russetfur informs Graystripe that they have scented BloodClan in the forest.
**Cloudtail makes a snide remark, wondering if ShadowClan is sheltering them.

======
*On the way there, Graystripe doubts if he is on the right way, but steers his mindset to be more optimistic about his sense of direction.
**He warns Flipclaw to stay away from the edge of the cliff, while Flipclaw reports to him that he is excited to tell his littermates about his adventures.
*Two cats appear.
**They stop them, and Graystripe introduces himself as Stormfur's father.
**The two cats introduce themselves as Thorn that Grows in Cleft and Moon Shining on Water, both cats of the Tribe.
*The Clan cats are escorted back to the Cave of Rushing Water, where Stormfur, Brook, Graystripe, and Flipclaw introduce themselves and talk.
**Graystripe is informed of a rogue that was asking for him, surprising him.
*Flipclaw tells Graystripe that he is enjoying the Tribe. Graystripe wonders whether Flipclaw prefers the Tribe over the Clans, like Stormfur did.
*That night, Graystripe has trouble sleeping. He realizes that he has to talk to Stoneteller, so he decides to do so now.
======

**Stoneteller is able to save Flipclaw.

**Stoneteller relocates his previously dislocated leg.

**He hears a voice, and receives a vision from Feathertail.
*Graystripe deciphers the vision as Feathertail telling him to go back to the Moonstone.
======
*Graystripe returns to camp after being attacked by BloodClan and is greeted by Ashfur, Thornclaw, and Cloudtail.
**Graystripe asks if Dustpelt and Brambleclaw made it back to camp, and Thornclaw replies that they did and they sent the second group out to look for him.
**Graystripe says that they need to drive off BloodClan.
*Dustpelt is pleased to see that Graystripe has made his way back to camp safely.

*Cloudtail, Ashfur, and others are talking and wondering where Firestar has gone.
*The next morning, Graystripe awakens his Clan and says that they have to deal with BloodClan. They will survey the territory to look for more signs of them. He and Ashfur lead two patrols.

**Stormfur is visibly hurt by this, expressing concern over his father's well-being.
**Graystripe wants to stay, but knows he cannot abandon ThunderClan.
*Graystripe says that he needs to visit the Moonstone, and Stormfur does not understand what good it would do.
**Stormfur admits that if he did not have kin in the Tribe, that he would go along with Graystripe, but wishes him well regardless.
*Stormfur accepts Graystripe's choice to leave, but says that he is welcome to return to the Tribe, and Graystripe promises to think about it.
*Graystripe muses that Flipclaw might wish to stay with the Tribe, nodding to his bond with Feather of Flying Hawk.
