and relays this message to his Clan. Tawnypelt and her kits then return to ShadowClan. An outbreak of greencough, a respiratory infection, begins in ThunderClan, but the Clan is short on supply of catmint, the treatment for greencough. ThunderClan's supply had been trampled during the battle during the events of Outcast. Jaypaw has a dream telling him where there is a fresh supply: on WindClan territory. Jaypaw asks Lionblaze to steal the catmint from WindClan territory. Lionblaze initially refuses, afraid he will encounter Heatherpaw, whom he blames for WindClan's use of the tunnels during the attack in Outcast, because he has been having dreams where he kills her. However, as the greencough gets worse, he relents. Lionblaze successfully retrieves the catmint, although he does have a tense encounter with Heatherpaw, now called Heathertail, in the process; however, he does not kill her as he does in his dreams. With the Clan's recovery from the greencough outbreak, Jaypaw is recognized for helping find the catmint, and finally receives his full medicine cat name, Jayfeather. Then, during a storm, the camp is struck by lightning and catches fire. Jayfeather, Lionblaze, Hollyleaf, and their mother Squirrelflight are trapped by the fire. Squirrelflight eventually makes it through the flames, and attempts to position a fallen branch through the flames to provide an escape route for the three. ThunderClan warrior Ashfur arrives and assists her, only to then block the way out. Ashfur tells Squirrelflight that he never forgave her after she ended their relationship and returned to her relationship with Brambleclaw. He reveals that he participated in Hawkfrost's attempt to assassinate Firestar and that he will now kill Squirrelflight's kits in another attempt to hurt her in revenge. Squirrelflight reveals then that he cannot hurt her that way because they are not her kits. She explains how she kept the secret from Brambleclaw and the whole of ThunderClan. Ashfur allows the three to escape the fire to safety, but threatens to reveal Squirreflight's secret in order to exact his revenge. With this revelation, Jayfeather, Hollyleaf and Lionblaze question their belief that they are "the Three" mentioned in the prophecy, since their supposed kinship with Firestar was because Squirrelflight is Firestar's daughter. The fire burns out and ThunderClan returns to and rebuilds their camp. Three days before the Gathering, Ashfur requests Firestar's permission to attend. Hollyleaf, Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Squirrelflight worry that he plans to
