StormClan's New Deputy!

[Lightningtrail]

Goldenstar shivered as she slowly rose from her nest. She tried to shake off this strange, uncomfortable feeling from her pelt, but she just couldn't. She sighed, but could not stop from letting out a rasping cough. Ever since she did the ceremonies, she had felt worse and worse each day. It was almost as though some weight was weighing on her, getting heavier each day. She did not want to admit it to herself. To admit it would be showing her weakness, and she could not let StormClan notice that she was not as strong as she was not many days ago. She gave her pelt another shake, took in a deep breath, and stifled her coughing. She made a promise to herself to meet with Nightpoppy later, but for now, she had to remain strong. She had to at least pretend that she was perfectly healthy, perfectly strong. She stepped out of her den.

From far away, it was not obvious that she was not feeling well. Her fur was precisely groomed, she stood as tall and regal as always, and she called the clan with the same amount of confidence that she had always done. "StormClan! Gather like dark clouds in the sky!" but as one approached, it became evident that the leader was not as healthy as she desperately tried to be. Her eyes were dull, and her legs shook with each step that the golden cat took. "I have taken notice that we are in need of a new deputy," She announced after the clan had gathered. "I have decided who shall take the place of our previous deputy. The decision was difficult, as many of you would make fine deputies, but one cat stood out from the rest, and I believe that she will make a strong, loyal deputy."

Goldenstar searched the crowd until she found her. "This she-cat is known for her bravery and her compassion, and I believe that she would be able to assist StormClan greatly with her strengths. Finchsong, will you take the position of StormClan deputy?"

The ginger she-cat watched Goldenstar call the Clan together, her ears pricking in interest. She listened in silence as the golden she-cat spoke about having chosen a new deputy. The tabby's head swiveled to survey the gathered cats, wondering who the new deputy would be. However, nothing could've prepared her to have her own name called.

She shakily rose to her paws, shock still clear in her bright green eyes. Finchsong took a deep breath and nodded, padding forward to approach the leader. "Yes, I will. Thank you Goldenstar, and I will do my best to serve as your deputy." She promised, excitement welling up strongly in her chest, though she swallowed it down to appear as modest and calm as possible.

The large silver tabby looked to Goldenstar with interest, he wondered why she was gathering all the clan so soon after a ceremony, it couldn't be another one so soon so something important was probably going to be announced, but of everything he hadn't expected the choice of a new deputy, he observed silent curious to know the reason but at the same time not caring at all, he didn't really cared about anything these days but then again that was a important choice to the clan future so when Finchsong name was announced and after she accepted the new responsability he approached the white and ginger female a honest look of happiness for her on his face. "Congratulations Finchsong, I'm sure you will do well" Fallenstorm said kindly to the she cat.

Dewpaw just padded away from the apprentice den when Goldenstar called for a clan meeting. It was still new to her attending these meeting because she had only been an apprentice for about a half of moon now. The long-haired silver tabby just sat down softly and curled her tail around her paws. Green eyes shining with excitement Goldenstar was going to make an announcement about something. She waited, thats when the leader decided to appoint a new deputy. Dewpaw just looked over at the warrior that was called. She noticed the she-cat by her fur but Dewpaw didn't know anything about the new deputy. but she wanted to be nice and congratulate her. but would this deputy care about an apprentice like her. Dewpaw thought about it for a few moments. Thats when she stood up and decided to approach the new deputy. She tail raised high she just dipped her head to Finishsong and then smiled sweetly and said, "Congratulations Finchsong!"

Hearing the call of his sister throughout the camp, golden ears shifted towards the female leader and the tom shook out his pelt before changing course of his large build. Pushing his way through slower moving cats, Honeyclaw broke through the crowd and took his normal spot to the side, within easy view of his sister and his clanmates. Sitting and curling his thin tail around himself, the tom appeared to be listening to what his sister had to say but instead green eyes were locked upon her shaking legs and sickly disposition.

The two didn't have to be particularly close for him to see the signs that everyone else missed.

Was she mousebrained?

Ears pulled forward as the crowd erupted with Finchsong's name however Honeyclaw didn't stop to join in on the celebrations. They had dealt without a deputy fine without her and already the clan was supportive? As far as he was concerned, she had yet to prove herself. Any threat that happened to rain down upon Stormclan he could deal with in the mean time.

As far as he was concerned, his sister was more important.

The moment Goldenstar finished her speech, Honeyclaw was moving, pushing past cats with his wide shoulders around to where his sister stood on shaking legs. Normally bright green eyes were dull and his eyes narrowed. "Goldenstar," he all but spat in a low tone. "What in Starclan do you think you are doing?"

Crowfrost had gathered with the rest of the can to receive the news Goldenstar wished to share. His interest sparked when she spoke of naming a new deputy, he couldn't help but wonder who it might be. There were plenty of worthy cats as she mentioned but who would Goldenstar decide upon? The answer to this question coming as a surprise albeit a good one.

Finchsong! Crowfrost couldn't believe his ears. Goldenstar had just called out his mate's name as deputy. Shocked he lets out one of his deep rumbling purrs and cheers with the rest of the clan. " Congrats my love." He whispers padding through the crowd and pushing his nose to hers softly. His hazel green eyes dancing with pride and happiness for his mate. " I cannot think of a cat better for the job." He adds, his white face brushing hers softly. but deep down the news was making him uncomfortable. Not because he was jealous or thought Finchsong could not handle the job but because he was worried. Worried for her safety, and worried he wouldn't be able to protect his mate from the huge amounts of responsibilities she would face.
