Sunset/Chapter 23

==Chapter description==
:Squirrelflight orders Ashfur to camp to fetch help as the gray warrior had reported Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost near Firestar, who had been captured in a fox trap. Leafpool is racing down, using the fear scent from Ashfur as her trail to Firestar, who is supposedly injured. As she arrives, Leafpool makes note of her distrust of Brambleclaw regarding her father, as she acknowledges that Brambleclaw may have inherited Tigerstar's blood-thirsty ambition.
:Leafpool finds Firestar next to the lake's edge, covered in blood. She spots Brambleclaw standing over Firestar, his paws stained with blood as well. The ThunderClan medicine cat grows angry at Brambleclaw, believing that he just killed her father. Firestar says that Hawkfrost set a trap for Firestar, but Brambleclaw saved him. Leafpool moves the fox trap and finds her father's leg bleeding. She realizes the blood on Brambleclaw's paws is not Firestar's as his claws are muddy and broken, and Leafpool works out that the dark brown tabby tom dug out the ThunderClan leader's leg with a stick.
:Squirrelflight thanks Brambleclaw for saving her father's life as Leafpool wonders where all the blood came from, when she discovers Hawkfrost's dead body in the shallow water of the lake. The lake is stained with red all around Hawkfrost, and Leafpool recalls the prophecy Yellowfang had given her: "Before all is peaceful, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red." Leafpool finally puts the pieces of the prophecy together, realizing its meaning. Brambleclaw and Hawkfrost are kin, and Brambleclaw killed Hawkfrost. Leafpool knows that she was right about the RiverClan warrior, the fact that he was too ambitious like his father, Tigerstar.
