And here we are again everyone! I've been working really hard on this story, and it's much better than the last one, plus its longer! Oh, and some of the names in PineClan were driving me crazy, so I change them from the old ones, so I hope you don't get mad at me. Any way, Warriors is property of Erin hunter, and I don't own any of the characters. So. Here. We. Go!

Prologue
As the sun gave a dying breath the cats of Pineclan mourned. In the center of their clearing lay the body of a tom. After his long fight against whitecough, he had finally lost.
Sitting closest to him was a grey she-cat. She looked up at the clan surrounding her, tears in her eyes. "What are all of you staring at!" she hissed 'He's dead now and that's that. He was my brother anyway, why do you care?" she sank back into sobs.
A dark brown tom emerged from the crowd and came over to her. He stared at her for a moment before saying calmly.
"Fernglow, Twigstep was important to all of us. He was a brave cat who fought hard until the end." Fernglow sobbed again "I know, Otterstar." she said "But it feels like everyone I know is dying around me. I-I don't want to go like that." she looked Otterstar in the eye "I want to go join the elders"
Otterstar nodded "I understand, you have served this clan for moons. Fernglow is it your wish to give up the name of a warrior and go join the elders?" Fernglow nodded "It is." Otterstar went on "Your Clan honors you and all the service you have given us. I call upon StarClan to give you many moons of rest." He looked to a white she-cat off to the side of the crowd "Snowcloud, help Fernglow get settled in her new den. Snowcloud nodded and led Fernglow away.
When they had left, Otterstar jumped on the ledge. "Now that Twigstep walks with Starclan." he said "It is time for me to select a new deputy."
The cats all tensed with anticipation. Twigstep had been a wonderful cat. No one could think of any cat who could measure up to him.
Otterstar looked through the crowd before clearing his throat. "Ravendawn come forward."
A murmur went through the crowd. Sure Ravendawn was intelligent, and she was one of the better fighters, but she was well... rather strange.
Unlike her bubbly and social sister,Brookdream, Ravendawn prefered to spend her time alone. She also had a way of looking at a cat that made one uneasy. She was a very strange pick for the deputy.
Ravendawn herself had been sitting at the back of the crowd. She slowly came forward her eyes huge with shock. When she reached the ledge she underneath it, and Otterstar cleared his throat silencing the chatter.
" I say these words before StarClan, so that the spirit of Twigstep may hear and approve of my choice. The new deputy of PineClan is Ravendawn." Ravendawn stared up at her leader still in shock. After a moment she found her voice, and said "Oh, uh. Thank you Otterstar! I promise to make you proud."
Slowly the cats in the clearing took up a chant. "Ravendawn! Ravendawn!" When it had died down the newly made deputy went over to her sister near the back of the crowd. The she-cat was full of joy and bounced over to her. "Oh Ravendawn this is wonderful!" she squealed "Fernglow will be so proud of you. Just think that one day you'll be leader!""There's plenty of time for that, Brookdream." said Ravendawn "Right now I'm just trying to keep my head from spinning!" "Sleep will help." pureed Brookdream "I wonder how you will organizer the patrols? Will you even have time for me? Oh it will be perfect!" Ravendawn smiled as she followed her sister into the warriors den. Brookdream could get carried away, but her good mood was contagious.
As she settled in, Ravendawn thought about her life ahead of her. There was so much opened up now. As she drifted off to sleep, she couldn't help but think about being leader one day. "I'll do a good job." she promised herself "Cats will talk for moons, about the rule of Ravanstar."
