Return to the Clans/Part 3

==Chapter description==
:Pine leads Sasha, Hawk, and Moth to the farm and they pass by RiverClan territory with the stepping-stones. They arrive at the farm and Sasha is impressed by its beauty, but is unsettled by the glares by the other farm cats when they look at her and her kits. As soon as Pine leaves, a patched queen confronts Sasha and insists they'll never share their home with her and her kits. The patched queen has her kits attack Hawk and Moth, and one of them slices Hawk's ear. Sasha attacks the queen and easily subdues her. The patched queen accuses her of being a warrior, and Sasha, recalling back to her days in ShadowClan, agrees.
:Sasha, Hawk, and Moth are kicked out from the farm, and Sasha takes her kits to RiverClan's stepping stones where she tells them about their father. She tells her kits about how brave Tigerstar was but warns him that where they're going, they might hear stories about him, but to know that Sasha always loved him. She makes them promise to never tell any cat the truth about their father. They are soon confronted by a RiverClan patrol for trespassing, but Sasha offers herself and her kits to join the Clan. Though Blackclaw is aggressive, Feathertail and Stormfur are supportive since RiverClan needs more warriors, and Leopardstar agrees.
:Leopardstar and her cats lead Sasha, Hawk, and Moth to their camp, where Mudfur, the medicine cat, treats Hawk's injured ear. Hawk and Moth sleep in the nursery with Mistyfoot watching over them. When Leopardstar calls a Clan meeting to welcome Sasha and her kits into RiverClan, Sasha declines receiving a warrior name. She and her kits are soon integrated into the Clan, and it's not long until Hawk and Moth become apprentices. Despite performing well in their training, Hawkpaw and Mothpaw overhear a group of kits pretending to kill each other like Tigerstar. They confront their mother about it, who insists that the Clans only saw one side of Tigerstar and didn't love him like she did.
:Leopardstar once again asks Sasha if she'd like to receive a warrior name and suggests holding it at the Gathering, but Sasha fears ShadowClan might recognize her and her kits. Hawkpaw and Mothpaw accidentally stumble into remnants of the Bonehill and Leopardstar explains to them how Tigerstar forced half-Clan cats to fight each other to the death. Sasha learns Tigerstar's extensive involvement in RiverClan and wishes to take her kits away to keep them safe, but Hawkpaw and Mothpaw wish to remain in RiverClan and promise to never tell any cat who their father is. Sasha realizes that no cat will ever recognize her kits if she's not around, so she decides to leave her kits in RiverClan. She says goodbye to her kits, but as she leaves, Sasha hears Tigerstar's voice promising that he'll watch over their kits.
