======
*Stormfur's point of view.
*The Clan cats discuss whether to stay with the Tribe or leave.
**Squirrelpaw points out that the Tribe cats didn't look like they would let them leave.

======

*They quickly leave the cave behind, as the Tribe is too terror-stricken to do anything.
======
*Leafpaw's point of view.
*Cinderpelt reports the rabbit disease to Firestar, and he decides that ThunderClan will have to stop eating rabbits.
**Leafpaw begins pushing a rabbit from the fresh-kill pile out of the camp.
*Dappletail walks by, and when she hears the rabbit cannot be eaten, she is outraged and begins gulping down huge mouthfuls. Firestar pushes her gently away.
*Cinderpelt and Leafpaw go out to find herbs. Leafpaw catches a vole, and gives it to her mentor.
*Spiderpaw appears with the report that Dappletail has fallen ill, and Cinderpelt hurries back to help.
*Leafpaw continues looking until she hears a shrill wail from the river. She hurries over as Mistyfoot appears and drags a small black apprentice out of the river.
**Leafpaw comes over to help as Mothwing and Hawkfrost appear. Mothwing is panic-stricken and doesn't know what to do.
*Guided by Spottedleaf, Leafpaw administers the proper care to Reedpaw and he eventually is able to stand and go back to RiverClan with Mistyfoot's help.
*Mothwing feels dejected by her failure to help, and thinks the Clan will never respect her now. Leafpaw tries in vain to cheer her up, and she walks away.
*As Leafpaw returns to camp, Cinderpelt appears and tells her Dappletail is dead, and that Cloudtail and Brightheart had disappeared.
======
*Stormfur's point of view.

*He speaks to Feathertail as they go, about he felt betrayed by the Tribe, and she comforts him.
*He catches a hawk and they all eat as it begins to rain. Brambleclaw suggests they find shelter.
*They come upon an old rabbit burrow, and Tawnypelt investigates it.

======
*Stormfur's point of view.
*The Clan cats find three exiled Tribe cats living in the cave, Talon of Swooping Eagle, Rock Beneath Still Water, and Bird That Rides the Wind.
*They allow the Clan cats to stay with them and begin telling them what happened to the Tribe cats.

**After a moment's pause, Mothwing says yes.

**The Tribe relaxes some, and Stoneteller allows them to help the Tribe at Brook's urging.
*Squirrelpaw shows them their plan.
**They will stuff a hare with deathberries and let Sharptooth eat the prey.
*Talon, Rock, and Bird suddenly arrive back at the cave.
**The Tribe accuses them of disobeying Stoneteller and failing their mission.
