Riverstar's Home/Chapter 11

==Chapter description==
:River Ripple settles a new camp on an island among the reed beds. Though he is pleased that some of his rivermates have joined him, the other loners have resumed roaming and disappearing for days on end. He longs for the connection he once had with the Cats of the Park, and he worries when Night and Mist would eventually leave him too. Waking up from a nightmare, River Ripple stumbles from his nest, but a thick mist begins to creep into the clearing. Pale figures begin to emerge, and River Ripple frets that he is still asleep because the shapes morph into ghostly cats. Fearful of their presence, River Ripple demands to know what they want, but the ghosts drift out of the camp, beckoning him to follow. They guide him to a large hollow with four giant oaks in the middle, and River Ripple is shocked to see the mountain cats fighting so brutally. They draw blood as easily as stalking prey without hesitation. He is horrified when he spots Hawk Swoop's still body in the clearing and notices Tall Shadow killing Fircone. 
:In the midst of the battle, River Ripple overhears Rainswept Flower and Clear Sky arguing about borders and territory. Realizing that the mountain cats are killing each over land, River Ripple begs the ghost cats to stop the battle. A tom spirit insists that the living cats cannot see them, and another spirit adds that they must wait for the battle to end itself. They mysteriously explain how River Ripple will help them communicate with the living, though the silver tom is confused by their words. In the clearing, Clear Sky is prepared to kill his brother Gray Wing, much to River Ripple's horror, when Clear Sky yowls that the battle is over.
