The Raging Storm/Chapter 15

==Chapter description==
:Violetshine heads back to the SkyClan camp after the Gathering, and when she asks if Twigbranch will be fine, her heart aches when she thinks about them having to leave each other again. She asks Tree if they would ever see her sister again if SkyClan goes to the gorge, but she then hears warriors ahead arguing. Harrybrook tells Leafstar that SkyClan should leave, while Sagenose, Bellaleaf, and Frecklewish argue the opposite. They discuss about what they should do, and Plumwillow says that she does not want to leave Finleap. Harrybrook tells Leafstar that the Clans do not care about them, but the leader says nothing. Tree's pelt suddenly bristles; the tom urgently tells Leafstar that he saw a dead cat who wanted them to stay, and he tries to dissuade Leafstar from leaving, but she states that he does not understand the ways of Clan cats. Tree murmurs that the Clans never listen to him and there is no place for him within them. Violetshine offers to train him as a warrior when she realizes what he is suggesting, but the tom replies that if SkyClan leaves, he will not join them. He says that they belong together, and that they do not need a Clan to be happy. Violetshine thinks about how she had feared this would happen—although she wants to be with Tree, she does not want to leave Hawkwing. He continues that they would be near Twigbranch, and she becomes even more torn at the thought of having to choose either him or SkyClan. Violetshine mews that they should catch up to the patrol, and perhaps Leafstar would choose to stay. Dread fills her as she hurries ahead, and she hopes that Leafstar will make the right choice.
:Violetshine opens her eyes and wakes Tree, who is beside her. They walk out of the den, and Violetshine hopes that Leafstar has changed her mind about leaving the lake. Many cats are already assembled in the clearing, and she holds her breath as Leafstar looks around at them. The leader slowly states that they will leave the lake, and Violetshine stares, disappointed and startled. She realizes that Leafstar needs the Clan's support, and she has to leave with SkyClan; by the look in Tree's eyes, Violetshine can tell that he also knows that they must part ways. Leafstar announces that they will leave immediately, and Frecklewish says that Sparrowpelt is still weak; the leader replies that the Clan will help him. The medicine cat guides Sparrowpelt out of the medicine den, and she gathers her herbs. Violetshine presses her muzzle against Tree's, and the tom says that he will look after Twigbranch. She tells him that she loves him, and sorrow wells in her heart as she follows her Clanmates, but she knows that she has made her choice.
