The First Battle/Chapter 11

==Chapter description==
:While patrolling with Snake, Clear Sky spots Tom and the kits. He calms Snake down, though he approves of his aggression, and tells him to use his words. He confronts the kittypet, who apologizes and explains that he is trying to go home. Snake tells Clear Sky that the kits are not Tom's, and Clear Sky asks about it, but Tom insists that they are his. Clear Sky sends them away and heads back to camp, telling Snake that he wants to train his cats to prepare for battle against Gray Wing. At camp, Clear Sky sees Dew and Thorn play-fighting, and he calls for everyone to train with claws, despite protests.
:Snake offers to fight, and Clear Sky selects Falling Feather to fight him. He tells her to lay on her back, explaining that they need to know how to recover from the position. Snake attacks, going for her throat, and Falling Feather manages to move her hind claws beneath his chin as Clear Sky had directed and push him off. Clear Sky praises her, and the training continues. When they finish, he tells them to eat, but will not allow Jackdaw's Cry to have any prey, ignoring the others' protests. He leaves camp and finds Thunder and Lightning Tail. They ask him if he has seen Turtle Tail's kits, and Clear Sky, not wanting to help them and resenting Thunder for being with Gray Wing, lies that he has not.
