#### Chapter 20

Before the meeting, Bloodfur is noted to have spoken to some cats in the army. It's revealed that Bonfire had made his nest near fourtrees during leaf-bare, but was forced to leave when the clans found him. It took him a long time to find shelter elsewhere and barely survived leaf-bare because of it.

His story contributes to Bloodfur's anger toward the clans.

#### Chapter 22

Bloodfur and Mottledface wait just past carrionplace for the soldiers. They are joined by Papercut, who leads Wolf, Bonfire, Sunset, and Screech. They go to the moonstone cave and attempt to kill the medicine cats in their sleep, but they all awaken.

During the fight, Bonfire screeches "Death to the clans!" as he madly swipes his hind claws at Ryeheart's belly. Later, Bonfire pins Dewstorm and snaps at Bloodfur to kill him, but Bloodfur tells him to let him go. Bonfire is surprised and hesitates before nodding and leaping away.

#### Chapter 23

When Depthstar questions the medicine cats about their attackers, Sagefern anxiously tells him one cat kept yowling "Death to the clans!", referring to Bonfire.

#### Chapter 26

Bloodfur and other allies of Poisonedsap go to Deserve's camp. They are greeted at the entrance by Papercut and Bonfire, who step aside to let them in.

Bonfire is present when Deserve calls a meeting to discuss their plan to attack the clans.

#### Chapter 28

Castiel calls on Papercut, Bonfire, and Patch to join his patrol and go to the burnt sycamore where Revengeheart has arranged for the apprentices to be for a training session. Castiel asks Revengeheart to lead the way, and he does so. As the group leaves, Bloodfur watches, saddened that they're going to kill the apprentices.

#### Chapter 29

Bloodfur hears some cats laughing near the soldiers den and sees Bonfire, Papercut, and Patch boasting about the attack on Ebonypaw and Flintpaw. Bonfire purrs at how shocked they were, and Papercut agrees.

Bloodfur is saddened and wishes they'd shut up about it. Bonfire returned with Castiel's patrol early that morning and delivered the news. During the attack, Bonfire and Patch cornered Ebonypaw on the burnt sycamore, forcing her to jump off and meet Castiel and Papercut. When a ShadowClan patrol arrived, they flee the scene. It's noted that the soldiers have been bragging about it all day.

When Deserve decides to kill Blackstorm, Bonfire and Papercut drag him over to their leader, where he's killed. Soon after, he orders Bonfire and Papercut to take Stripednose and Song to the extra den where they'll be held prisoner.

Bonfire yowls "Let's do it!" when Deserve announces they'll attack the clans tonight, and joins in the "death to the clans" chant.

#### Chapter 30

During Deserve's attack on the ShadowClan camp, Swiftstalker hears a yowl of agony and sees Bonfire crouched over Crowmask, digging his claws into his throat. Crowmask lets out a cry before going limp, a pool of blood forming under him. As Bonfire lets out a yowl of triumph, Swiftstalker attacks him, yowling that he won't kill any more of his clanmates.

Bonfire snarls at Swiftstalker, wildly confused as he states he's on their side, but Swiftstalker hisses that he's a ShadowClan warrior. He bites into Bonfire's leg, causing him to screech in pain. Bonfire pulls free and slams into Swiftstalker's side, biting into his ribs, and Swiftstalker screeches and twists, kicking him in the face. Bonfire flees, and Swiftstalker rises, sore from the attack.
