A New Leader(All of Leafclan)

[kiba]

Redstripe leaped up onto a large rock. His pelt was littered with scars and his amber eyes gazed down at the camp. He couldn't believe he was actually up here. He couldn't believe Starclan had chosen him to become clan leader after Skystar. He took in a deep breath. "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey, join here for a clan meeting," he yowled.

He waited until the cats gathered, paws itching to race off to get his nine lives. He wondered what it felt like. He was a senior warrior, but still strong and had a lot of time before he would die. Once everyone was gathered, he began again. "Starclan has chosen me to become the next clan leader. As soon as this meeting is over I will bring Gingerleaf with me to receive my nine lives. I still want Sapphirewish to be Deputy, if she so wishes," he mewed, looking down.

Brackentail looked up at Redstripe. He would make a good leader. He knew that Redstripe was understanding, yet knew the true meaning of loyal. He also knew that Redstripe can also be punishing and will do so without hesitating.

Sapphirewish listened as Redstripe called a Clan meeting.The deputy rushed to the Meeting rock.She listened as Redstripe announced his leadership."No,I step down,I have aged too much to serve my Clan as a deputy,I request to become an elder,"Sapphirewish announced.Her gray blue fur strode ruffled from the string wind.

Flamepelt's eyes shined. His father was becoming the leader of LeafClan! "Redstar! Redstar! Redstar!" He called in a slightly low voice, not wanting to disturb but at the same time wanting to show his father that he was proud.

Spottedpaw looked at Flamepelt and called out, "Redstar!"

Flamekit and Maplekit sat close by the nursery, water overflowing their faces. "She was our mother.." Maplekit whispered to her brother.

Redstripe bowed his head. "If you so wish it, Sapphirewish. You have served the clan well and I am honored to have followed you into battle time and time again. I call upon Starclan to give you many moons of rest," he mewed. He then looked down at the remaining warriors. He thought for a moment. He was then happy with his decision.

"I have thought about this just in case Sapphirewish didn't want to continue to be deputy. I now say these words before Starclan, that the spirit of our warrior ancestors may hear and approve my choice. The new deputy of Leafclan will be.....," he mewed, looking down at the cats below. He looked into all of their eyes.

[Midnight]

If one looked at the many cats in the clearing, one would see Pumpkinheart, Fernleaf, Tigertail, Leopardtail, Morningblaze, Dayfall, Nightlight, Spottedpaw, Maplekit, Sandkit, Sunheart, Firekit, and Flamekit with their ears perked and their eyes anxious. None of the cats really had the ambition to want to become deputy- well, maybe Pumpkinheart, Firekit, and Sandkit- they were all simply wondering who Redstripe would choose.

He doesn't seem to think there are many choices... Fernleaf thought, narrowing her eyes as she searched the Clan.

NightFire watched, his tail swishing in anticipation. Who would be their new deputy? Hopefully a cat with an actual brain and common sense. Yes. There were too many thistle brained cats nowadays. Not that he could say anything. He was a part of the group he believed to be slightly thistle brained. Sighing lightly he watched and listened.

[Midnight]

Spottedpaw saw Nightfire was watching for the new deputy as well. She carefully picked around her Clanmates, trotting over to the tom. "Hey, Nightfire!" Spottedpaw meowed, her green eyes bright and she sat next to the tom. "I wonder who Redstripe's going to choose," She meowed, tipping her head a bit to the side as she looked back up at the new leader.

[rippedstripe]

"Hello SpottedPaw," The black tom purred." Whoever it is I'm sure he or she will be quite suitable." NightFire looked at her, immediately feeling his mood lifting. No matter how he felt, just being around the she-cat seemed to make everything better.

Redstripe straightened up. "The new deputy will be Icewing! You are you and strong and I will teach you everything I can within my next nine lives. You will grow wise and become a wonderful leader when I pass," he mewed, looking down at the young she-cat. He leaped off of the huge rock and landed in front of the newly announced deputy. "Do you accept?" he asked, eyes shining.

[Deleted]

Icewing was in shock. Me? A-A Deputy? She thought. She sat tall and pround "Yes, I accept to be Leafclan's new deputy." She said proudly. Ever since a kit, Icewing always wanted to lead her clan as leader, and now she has the chance to do so. She worked hard as an apprentice to be the best of the best and know her time has come. "It will be an honor to serve you all." She turned and said to her clanmates.
