Sweetfire padded into the camp, setting a large piece of fresh-kill on the pile and turning to Summersky. She shook her head and went back out to make sure Stormpaw wasn't trying to kill something twice his size.....

Summersky glared for a moment then looked around the camp, keeping careful note of everything so she could report to Swiftstar.

When Swiftstar finally padded back into camp there was this sad look in her eyes. She was dripping wet. "WindClan still lives. RiverClan seems deserted." Swiftstar mewed softly to herself. There is nothing. Nothing. Greencough must've turned to blackcough. Swiftstar thought. She was waiting for the report on ShadowClan. ThunderClan had the most warriors. RiverClan needed some cat to join. "Please, StarClan, don't let Lonestar be missing, too.... I can't find Clowstar. Sparkstar has disappeared. Please don't let me be the only leader to have made it here alive....." Swiftstar mewed softly, eyes up at the sky. But she had found something of intereast. She turned to Summersky and padded over. "Have any of the others returned yet?" She purred, though sorrow shone in her eyes and hung heavily in her voice. "There must be a Gathering soon, but I fear there will be no RiverClan attending. ThunderClan may be the strongest Clan there. I promised myself I would see all the Clans through this, not just mine. And so I will...." She mewed to herself. "And so I will...."

Summersky mewed comfortingly, " I Can check ShadowClan if you wish," She offered, braver than she truly felt.

Swiftstar shook her head. "I guess Nightpelt will check on them or, if not, we'll see at the next Gathering." Swiftstar meowed to her. "There's still the issue of naming a deputy. It's getting late. I must do it soon. Really soon...." She meowed. Right now, it looks like the cat who's earned it the most is Summersky. But can I trust her? I know I can trust Nightpelt but I don't if it's the best decision for the Clan..... Swiftstar thought.....

Swiftstar padded onto the highcliff and quickly called for a Clan meeting. She had decided. 'It is time to appoint a new Deputy. I say this before the spirit of Hawkfeather, so that he may hear and approve of my choice. Summersky will be ThunderClans' new Deputy." Swiftstar yowled calmly, eyes on Summersky....

Summersky's eyes lit with delight, "Really Swiftstar?" She was so excited.

Swiftstar smiled at Summersky. "Yes, really Summersky." She purred. "ThunderClan needs a new deputy and I believe you're a wonderful cat for the job." Swiftstar meowed.....

Summersky nodded, "Thank you so much!" She touched noses and bounced out of camp to hunt.
She brought back a couple of rabbits and a few mice.

Nightpelt stepped out of the way as Summersky bounced back into the camp with prey. Why is she so happy? she thought, looking around. She saw all the cats at highcliff and felt a sinking feeling in her gut. "Congratulations." she murmered to the new deputy.

Swiftstar had turned and disappeared into her den by the time Summersky and Nightpelt came into the camp. Swiftstar understood well enough and could only hope she had truely made the right decision. Glancing up at the roof on the cave briefly she let another sigh escape her. "Please, StarClan, let me have made the right decision." Swiftstar mewed softly....

"Thanks," Summersky murmered, feeling waves of disapproval coming off Nightpelt.

Nightpelt padded out of the camp and quickly returned with a pair of mice. She dropped them on the pile and trotted off to a corner to sulk. She quickly stopped herself, realizing that she was holding a grudge against Summersky for Swiftstar's choice. She walked back over to the new deputy, a smile on her face. "Sorry, congratulatons. Swiftstar couldn't have made a better choice." She mewed cheerily.
Ashstreak troted back into the camp, followed by Frostpool. The grey she-cat carried a few hours worth of prey and Frostpool carried a mouthfull of mouse bile. Ashstreak dropped the prey on the pile while Frostpool left her muse bile in her den. As she trotted off to wash off the revolting stench, Ashstreak sat by Nightpelt.

Sweetfire and Stormpaw both padded into the camp. Stormpaw was dragging a hawk behind him and Sweetfire had the 'I'm-gonna-kill-my-apprentice' look on her face as she put her rabbit on the fresh-kill pile and sighed. Stormpaw looked incrediably proud at his catch while Sweetfire just shokk her head and sighed.....

"Thanks Nightpelt," Summersky said sincerly. She looked at Stormpaw, "Nice Catch," She said.

Ashstreak glanced at the hawk. "How'd a kit like you catch that?" She asked playfully. Nightpelt smiled once more and took a mouse from the freshkill pile.

Stormpaw smiled and reared onto his hind legs. "It was flying low to the ground to I just jumped up like this-" He paused his speech as he jumped straight up with his claws out and landed. "Grabbed its' wing in my teeth and dragged it back down with me!" He said happily. Sweetfire sighed. "Yes and he could've gotten himself killed doing it. And I'll never hear the end of how my heroic apprentice saved from the big bad hawk." Sweetfire hissed sarcastically, rolling her eyes and going off to a corner to mutter about ungrateful and uppity apprentices. Stormpaw just grinned rather like an idiot.....

"Well, Hawks are fun to catch, but not good to eat, so stick to ground foods okay?" Summersky laughed.

Nightpelt grabbed another mouse and padded over to sit with Frostpool, who had re-entered the camp. Ashstreak chuckled at the apprentice's enrgy and troted out of the camp to hunt.

"Okay!" Stormpaw meowed happily, going to bother Sweetfire some more until both cats could be heard in one of their playful insult competitions.
