A gray tabby tom slowed near the entrance to the camp. He opened his mouth, the scent of his clanmates reaching the roof of his mouth."We are lucky we didn't find the ShadowClan camp," he whispered to his smaller comapnion. The dark tabby she-cat snorted."I can take on anyone, Hawkfeather," she meowed. Hawkfeather's blue eyes narrowed on her. Her left ear was torn and she had a wound on her hind from getting attacked by a group of rogues. He himself was limping from a sprained paw and he had a few cuts on his back."Stay queit when we enter, Falconpaw. I don't want any trouble," he meowed. He limped into the camp, Falconpaw following.
His blue eyes narrowed further as he glanced around at his clanmates. He hadn't seen any of these cats for moons!! He looked ahead of him to see his leader."Swiftstar!! I have returned to Thunderclan," he called out ot her. He was the Deputy here and he knew they would welcome him back. But a slight cloud of doubt started in his mind. Would they recognize him?? His fur was matted in places and he barely had any ThunderClan scent. Falconpaw glanced around, her yellow eyes full of challenge.

Swiftstars' eyes fell on Hawkfeather. "Hawkfeather?! Could it be?" She asked, leaping down to greet her old deputy. Now her too-skinny frame revealed the truth. "Hmmm... You're in worse shape than me. Pity. Looks like I'll have to lay off tormenting you for a while. And yes, I do believe I'd recognize you anywhere." She decided, circling Hawkfeather before notcing his companion. "You both need to see Frostpool. And meet Summersky. We have a lot to settle and a lot to explain.... and a good few stories to tell." Swiftstar decided, icy blue eyes flashing with a mixture of emotions. Confusion, relief, happiness, and regret. She regretted how she treated Hawkfeather in the past and always blamed herself for his disappearance though she was just the type of cat that would die before admitting defeat. Which included admitting when she was wrong.....

Hawkfeather felt somewhat releived to hear Swiftstar speak to him. She rememberd him but all too well with the way she had treated him in the past. He glanced around, his blue gaze searching for Frostpool. He would need to see her but why did he have to see Summersky?? He opened his mouth to speak but a hiss cut him off. Falconpaw glared at Swiftstar. She had never been in a Clan before and didn't know that the black and white she-cat was the leader."You don`t have to treat us like mouse-brained kits!" she hissed at her. Hawkfeather looked at Falconpaw, his gaze piercing. Could she never keept queit!?"Falconpaw!" he meowed sternly at her. the younger cat neither flinched or looked at him. But her lip went back over her teeth, her gaze warily on Swiftstar."Keep your mouth shut when you are supossed to and that means now!" he hissed at her. He turned back to Swiftstar, his anger fading."Why must I see Sumersky?" he asked. He couldn't think of a reason to see the younger cat.

Swiftstar turned to Falconpaw. "You have to see Summersky because I may have made yet another mistake in my old age." Swiftstar finally admitted. "I'm retiring soon so no worries. Once I know my Clan won't die without me, I'm stepping down. I have apprentices to torment. And your friend, Falconpaw, right? Your friend is right. I don't. But I lead the Clan for now and probably will until a new Moonstone is discovered. And I feared you gone and ThunderClan needed a deputy and I really couldn't wait any longer and-" She let it drop and just sighed. "And why is it I must pick now to start admitting when I'm wrong?!" Swiftstar ranted, though her eyes shone with a playful glint that hadn't been there before... and that she didn't intend to be there now.....

Hawkfeather's neck fur bristled. She had named a new Deputy!? But he was still alive. Didn't it go against the warriors code? He shook his head to clear it and looked at Swiftstar. He smiled slightly."You should get used to admitting you are wrong. Especially if you are to be stepping down and becoming an elder," he meowed to her."Anyways, have you seen Sorreltail anywhere??" he asked. Him and the medicine cat had become great friends but it had gotten further and was a forbidden relationship. If she was dead, he wouldn't forgive himself for leaving the clan.
Falconpaw let out a "Humph!" and looked away. The old she-cat was being annoying. At least she(herself) never told if she was wrong about something. She had done it loads of times before. She glanced at Hawkfeather as the tom asked about Sorreltail. He had only heard him say the name once before when he was sleeping and when she had pressed him about it, he ignored her. Falconpaw's ears pricked, waiting for Swiftstar to answer.

Frostpool padded quickly over to the group of cats. "Hawkfeather!, You're alive!" She meowed, glancing at Sumersky. She had no idea what this would mean, but she was sure of one thing. These cats needed medical attention. "Whatever you need to talk about can wait. You two need to come to my den, now." With that, she turned around and padded into her den.

Swiftstar glanced at Hawkfeather and Falconpaw. "No. I havn't seen Fadedshadow, either. I've seen very few on my Clan in the past few moons. It's a relief to see you. Honestly, I feared the landslide had wiped out my Clan. I wasn't entirely sure how large it was." Swiftstar purred, glad to see Hawkfeather again. Her deputy. Despite her mistake of ragging him for his relationship with Sorreltail, he had been a good deputy. Swiftstar could only wish she was able to contact StarClan. Shaking her fur, she padded off to her den. Perhaps she had made the wrong decision by letting Summersky be deputy in Hawkfeathers' absence but none of the cats within the Clan believed him alive, much less able to find them in their new home......

Hawkfeather's ears flicked back at the news. He should have known if Frostpool was here."Thanks Swiftstar," he meowed softly. He followed Frostpool, limping on his right forepaw.
Falconpaw stayed by Hawkfeather's side as they followed this new cat. She narrowed her eyes at her. She smelled of plants and she had a growing sense that this cat was a Healer.(what she calls cats like Medicine Cats) She glanced at Hawkfeather. He looked crestfallen by the news of Sorreltail. Her side was getting warm for some reason and she looked at it to see crimson liquid starting to come fromt he wound on her side. Luckily, it would be better soon with the Healer's help.

Hawkfeather limped into the clearing from the medicine cat den. He knew he would be hurting for a few days and wouldn't be able to hunt for a while. He shook his head before glancing at Summersky. He did not know what Swiftstar would do. He himself would be confused on who to pick for Deputy as a leader. He flicked his ears as his gaze traveled around as he looked for Swiftstar.
Falconpaw looked over at Hawkfeather as he came out of the den with the other she-cat. Her yellow eyes narrowed for a moment before she turned away and looked around the camp, taking it all in.

Swiftstar sat on the high-cliff, staring blankly at the ground below. Both of them earned the position but Hawkfeather ghad it first. Honestly, there really can be no choice. Ughhh..... I'm too old for this..... That's it. I'm retiring. I'm sore and old and.....out of complaints. I'm seeing my Clan through this and then I'm retiring. She decided, trying to make her decision and getting slightly side-tracked.....

Nightpelt looked up as she saw Swiftstar sitting on high-cliff. Puting that together with the deputy problem, she assumed there was a clan meeting. She padded over to the bottom of the ledge, looking upwards questioningly.

Still lost in thought, Swiftstar jumped slightly when she saw Nightpelt. Shaking her head, she padded down to sit on the ground by Nightpelt. Swiftstar let out a sigh. "Ooohhh, what a mess I've made.... Maybe it's time for me to retire...." She meowed, practically kicking herself in the rear for her stupidity.....

Nightpelt flicked her ear, slightly interested when Swiftstar started talking about retiring. she padded back over to Ashpelt. Maybe Swiftstar's retiring would solve the problem. Either Hawkfeather or Summersky would become leader, and the other would be deputy. Frostpool padded over to her sisters, giving them breif mews of greetings.

Hawkfeather limped over to Swiftstar. His leader looked like she was deep in thought. He flicked his tail at Summersky, motioning for her to come as well. He dipped his head to Swiftstar. His eyes narrowed slightly. "We need to talk as a group about this Swiftstar," he meowed slowly. He glanced at Summersky, wondering if he was making the right choice in doing this."All three of us can sort it out together."

Swiftstar smiled. "In my old age I fear I've gotten impatient.... and mouse-brained." She purred. "I'm thinking of retiring." Swiftstar confessed to Hawkfeather. "Then one of you could be leader and the other could be deputy." I'm down to my last life anyway.

Hawkfeather sat down across from Swiftstar. He flicked his ears at her words. It seemed weird for her to retire. She was an old cat but it would be different not taking orders from her anymore."You've done a great job with Thunderclan, Swiftstar. You will be remembered always," he meowed. He knew Swiftstar would be well remembered after her death. She would most likely still terrorize a few apprentices and new warriors until then though. He smiled to himself at the thought.

Swiftstar nodded. "I think I'll leave you and Summersky to figure out who gets which position, however." She mused with a smile. "I look foreward to watching someone else lead this Clan. Just know I'll be watching....and if you see a nosy cat who'se always scratching things down, come fetch me. I still have a score to settle with him...." She hissed, tail lashing to demonstrate her rage. "He goes by the name of Cloudspots...." She continued. Most cats knew of her rivalry with Cloudspots......Few dared to get involved.....

Hawkfeather dipped his head to Swiftstar, his eyes narrowing."Of course," he meowed carefully. He would definitly get the leader if Cloudspots came around. Swiftstar would rip his fur off if he wouldn`t let her get to him.
