Crowfeather's Trial/Chapter 11

==Chapter description==
:A few days after Nightcloud's vigil, Crowfeather solemnly attends the Gathering, wishing that Onestar hadn't invited him and Breezepelt. Once arriving at the island, Crowfeather reflects about the dream the night prior: his mother Ashfoot had encouraged him to open his heart to love. Though Crowfeather insists that every cat he has every loved died. Blackstar begins by listing the names of the dead from the Great Battle, and Onestar announces Nightcloud's death after the ShadowClan leader finishes. Her death comes as a surprise to the rest of the Clans, and Onestar elaborates how Nightcloud disappeared when a patrol investigated the tunnels for stoats, who have recently moved in. Bramblestar attempts to argue that WindClan never informed ThunderClan about the stoats, but Mistystar silences him. Weaselfur interrupts that it was Breezepelt's fault for Nightcloud's demise, insinuating that the former Dark Forest trainee abandoned his mother in the tunnels. Spiderleg and Berrynose insist that the Dark Forest cats are still capable of betraying their Clanmates, causing Breezepelt to angrily challenge their accusations. The black warrior vulnerably reveals that his mother was the only cat who ever cared for him. Breezepelt's prepared to leave the Gathering to kill the stoats when Spiderleg brings up WindClan spying on them again. Crowfeather defends his son, exasperatingly explaining how he and Breezepelt were just looking for Nightcloud earlier.
:Jayfeather interrupts to ask why they were in the tunnels, and Onestar explains how they were searching the tunnels based off Kestrelflight's dream of dark water in the tunnels. Bramblestar criticized Onestar for not sharing the dream with ThunderClan, but the WindClan leader insists it is a WindClan prophecy only. Bramblestar is unconvinced, believing the two Clans should work together to get rid of the stoats. Lionblaze, however, refuses to work alongside Breezepelt, who attempted to kill him during the Great Battle. Breezepelt insists that he has changed and will do anything to avenge his mother, even if he must do it alone. He angrily leaves the Gathering. Though RiverClan attempts to resume the normal Gathering procedures, Crowfeather can still feel the tension in the air. Back at camp, Onestar tasks Breezepelt, Heathertail, and Weaselfur to spy on the stoats from the moor to gain information. Crowfeather hopes that whatever they find will bring Breezepelt some peace.
