History Recap / WarriorCatsNightWhispers

* WelcomeBackTraitor: Ivypaw has been lured into joining the Dark Forest, and even helped guide the Clan into an unnecessary battle that results in a [=ShadowClan=] death and Firestar losing [[CatsHaveNineLives one of his nine leader's lives]]. However, once she realizes that they're actually plotting to destroy the Clans and repents, she is welcomed back to the side of the heroes.

''Night Whispers'' is the third book in the fourth ''Warriors'' series, ''Omen of the Stars''.

Ivypaw wakes up in the middle of the night to see that Dovepaw is not in her nest. Her sister is really visiting Tigerheart, but she thinks that Dovepaw snuck out for extra practice because everyone's been praising Ivypaw's skills recently. Satisfied, she falls back asleep and "wakes" to the Dark Forest. She recieves some scratches from Thistleclaw, and then they do water training. She wakes up only long enough to see that Dovepaw's back, and wakes again to see Whitewing frantically wondering where all the blood came from - her wounds from Thistleclaw had been bleeding in real life. Dovepaw covers for her, pretending to find a large thorn in her bedding. Cinderheart looks at Ivypaw's wounds, noticing things she probably remembers from being a medicine cat. She tells Ivypaw she's worried. Cinderheart comes to the conclusion that Ivypaw was training alone outside the camp, and says that they can train more during the day. She makes Ivypaw promise that she won't leave the camp at night again. Ivypaw guiltily promises. Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and Dovepaw discuss this - Lionblaze and Dovepaw agree that it's time to tell Ivypaw to stop going to the Dark Forest, while Jayfeather, remembering his Moonpool visit, thinks that Ivypaw could be useful as a spy. Dovepaw angrily runs off, meeting up with her sister, and Ivypaw confronts her about meeting with Tigerheart; she could smell his scent on Dovepaw. She tells Dovepaw that she meets Tigerheart every night in the Dark Forest. Dovepaw doesn't believe her. She later feels upset that they argued, and she worries that she's driven her sister closer to the Dark Forest.

* ShootYourMate: When Ivypaw is acting as a spy for the Clans in the Dark Forest, the Dark Forest cats, suspicious of her loyalty, order her to "kill" Flametail, a [=StarClan=] spirit that got lost and found his way to the Dark Forest. She attacks him, but is stopped by the cat's brother. Even though she didn't actually wipe out his spirit, this still secures the Dark Forest's trust in her.

** There's a moment where it claims that Berrynose brushed his tail along Dovepaw's flank. Since he lost his tail in ''Sunset'', he would not be able to do this they way they meant with just a stump left.
