Wavesky's claws raked across the Thunderclan warrior's pelt. Think you can steal our prey huh? Well take that! Wavesky smirked with satisfaction when the golden tabby writhed away, sqealing. Thunderclan had been stealing Riverclan's prey for two moons now, and had gone above and beyond when Jaystar led a battle patrol to Riverclan's camp. Wavesky turned and began attacking a Thunderclan tom called Oakpool. Upon her raking her claws across his forehead, Oakpool yowled in suprise and lashed out connecting his claws with Wavesky's cheek.
Ringtail, the Riverclan deputy, had been fighting with the Thunderclan leader, Jaystar for a while now. Ringtail lunged then twisted so he could rake his claws down his side while Jaystar bit his tail, hard. Now's my chance! With Jaystar distracted, Ringtail lashed out. But, Ringtail did something he did not intend, he cut Jaystar's throat open, and with one life left, Jaystar was doomed to death. Ringtail watched in horror as Jaystar crumpled to the ground, dead. Ringail looked around Nobody saw! What a relief! Then the Thunderclan deputy, Dusktail saw Ringtail, with her mate dead in front of him, and blood coating his paws. Not giving Ringtail any time to react, Dusktail bowled him over, and without thinking sank her teeth deep into Ringtail's throat. Ringtail was blinded by pain. As he fell to the ground, Ringtail choked out his last request. "Don't tell..." he choked. The entire world then went black.
As Wavesky was finishing up with Oakpool, she heard a familiar screech Creekfeather! turning away from Oakpool she raced to the scene. Creekfeather stood over her dead mate wailing in sorrow. Oh no, not Ringtail! " How could you!?" snarled Creekfeather. "And to think, you were my best friend!" Dusktail said nothing but stared at her paws. "Jaystar is dead!" yowled a Thunderclan warrior. Lichenstar, Riverclan's leader stepped forward, ''Go now, both of our clans must recover.'' Dusktail dipped her head and lead the Thunderclan warriors out of camp. Wavesky pressed closer to her mate, Falconflame. "Oh Creekfeather, I'm so sorry." She murmered pressing her nose to Creekfeather's ear. Creekfeather looked straight ahead "I was going to tell him something if we had both survived." she mumbled. "Tell me.'' Wavesky sat in front of Creekfeather. Creekfeather looked up, raw sorrow in her eyes, "I'm expecting his kits."
Dusktail lept onto the highledge and yowled "All cats gather beneath the highledge for a clan meeting!" As all the cats gathered around she noticed Flowerkit and Noonkit looking rather hopeful Probably expecting their apprentice ceremony. Just a little longer, kits. "As most of you know, Jaystar was killed in the battle," shocked and horrified murmurs filled the hollow but Dusktail went on "so my first duty is to appoint a deputy." She scanned the hollow before finding the cat she would chose. "Starclan, hear and approve my choice, Badgerstripe will be the new deputy of Thunderclan." Approving voices echoed throughout the hollow. Badgerstripe stepped forward "I am honored to be given this position, I will do my best." The rest of the cats began to yowl his name "Badgerstripe! Badgerstripe! Badgerstripe!"
Later that night...
A dark figure walked into the stinking alleyway were three cats were already waiting. "Sorry I'm late." He puffed, he then turned to address the biggest cat, a well muscled black and white tabby "You're plan worked Chauncey, I'm Thunderclan's deputy now." The large cat known as Chauncey dipped his head "Did you kill Jaystar?" he asked. "No, some fish faced Riverclan mutt known as Ringtail killed him, I watched." Badgerstripe answered. "Have you set your plan in motion, Chauncey?" a golden tabby tom asked "Yes, I've spoken to the pack leader but he says he needs time to prepare for the attack." Chauncey answered, narrowing his eyes. "How long?" The golden Tom demanded, "About one year, perfect timing if you ask me." Chauncey said, pleasure oozing like honey from his voice, "Soon we will attack, killing the leaders and deputies, then..." His face revealed pure pleasure "we conquer."
