Sign of the Moon/Chapter 16

==Chapter description==
:Resting beside the apprentices' den, Ivypool hears Brambleclaw calling Mousewhisker, and the two toms play as they leave the warriors' den. Reflecting on how she misses Dovewing, she moves to join the other warriors and searches for Blossomfall to talk to her. Ivypool is unable to find her until she agrees to join Lionblaze on his patrol, at which point she spots Blossomfall. She looks exhausted and unkempt, causing Hazeltail to ask if Blossomfall is okay and to call to Millie. Millie dismisses them and goes to see Briarlight, upsetting Blossomfall. Noticing Blossomfall's condition, Brambleclaw sends her patrol to hunt; since Bumblestripe is disappointed by this, Ivypool offers to switch patrols with him.
:The patrol sets out and Ivypool notices that Blossomfall is struggling and injured. She tries to ask her about her time in the Dark Forest the night prior, but Blossomfall quiets her due to the presence of the others. They check on the catmint at the old Twoleg nest and Ivypool apologizes for having been caught by ShadowClan. Sandstorm and Thornclaw send her and Blossomfall to hunt for squirrels after catching a mouse, and Ivypool tries again to speak with Blossomfall about the Dark Forest. Blossomfall finally tells her that Hawkfrost invited her for training. Ivypool struggles to decide whether or not to tell her what the Dark Forest cats are planning, but before she can say anything, Blossomfall spots the tunnel that Icecloud had fallen into.
:With some encouragement from Blossomfall, Ivypool follows her into the tunnel, lowering a branch for them to climb back out. As Ivypool climbs down, she slips and falls in, and the branch falls with her, trapping them. She feels uneasy, but Blossomfall is eager to explore further, and they continue into the tunnels. They find a cave at the end of the tunnel and drink from the river, but Ivypool senses that they are being watched. Blossomfall claims that there are no cats there, but Ivypool points out a recent set of pawprints in the sand and exclaims that there are cats living in the tunnels.
