Bramblestar's Storm/Chapter 34

==Chapter description==
:Frankie nervously walks into the circle of cats and says that he wants to permanently join ThunderClan if he can. The other cats are surprised but not hostile, and Bramblestar answers that they will be honored to have him. He states that Frankie's name will now be Stormpaw, and Squirrelflight will be his mentor. She murmurs for the gray tabby to touch noses with her, and the cats in the hollow yowl his new name. Minty then steps up and says that she doesn't want to stay and wishes to go back to her housefolk even though the Clan had been kind to her. Bramblestar purrs that they can take her home, and then glances at Jessy, who remains quiet. Minty asks if she can stay another night, and wails that she will miss ThunderClan. The other cats purr that Minty will always be welcome if she visits. He is surprised as he thinks about how the kittypets have become true Clanmates.
:It is dawn when Bramblestar chooses Millie and Dovewing to take Minty back to her Twolegs. Stormpaw says that he does not want to go, as it is better if the Twolegs think he and Benny are together. Cherryfall comforts him, and Bramblestar looks at Squirrelflight, thinking that there may be more to why Stormpaw chose to stay. Minty and Millie hope that they do not meet ShadowClan, and a ShadowClan patrol walks up to them before they are halfway across the territory. Tigerheart asks why they are here, and Bramblestar explains that they are taking Minty home. The warrior then looks at Dovewing, who is staring at the lake. Bramblestar continues walking, and he remembers he and Jessy fighting the badgers as they pass the Thunderpath and half-bridge. The patrol hides when they see the Twolegs, but Minty excitedly charges toward them and squeals about everything she did. Dovewing asks Millie if she is thinking about her own Twolegs, and the tabby answers that she sometimes dreams of them.
:When the patrol returns to the camp, Squirrelflight is teaching Stormpaw. The other cats begin to ask questions, and Mousewhisker gives Bramblestar bracken to clean himself. Jessy asks if he would like to go on a walk, and he agrees. The two cats sit down on a rock, and Jessy recalls fighting the kittypets and the badgers. She looks at him and says she will never regret her time in ThunderClan. Bramblestar meows that it sounds like she is leaving, and the she-cat answers that if she stays, he may not follow where his heart truly lies. He wonders if she really knows him so well, and Jessy leans into him. The leader meows that he could have loved her, and she murmurs that he already loves Squirrelflight, and she is the mother of his kits. Jessy continues that they may not have been born to him, but he is still their father. Bramblestar asks if she will go back to the Twolegs, and she admits that she doesn't know. Bramblestar tells her that he will never forget her. Jessy answers that she will not forget him either, and he thinks that he wishes things were different. Bramblestar then remembers his vision of Yellowfang, and that Jessy is right about how he and Squirrelflight share an unbreakable bond.
