Disclaimer: I do not own warriors! These characters do not belong to me. I hate when people say they own their characters. Yes, they made them up, but are they copyrighted? Then they don't belong to you. Just saying. Anyway…
I will start with allegiances for CreekClan, followed by a prologue. So if you could care less for allegiances, scroll down to where it says prologue. If you don't read the prologue you will be morally confused later. I will also have lineage for important cats, though not all of them. Most lineages will be evident in the story, but for easy notes, you can look between allegiances and the prologue. These allegiances are for the very, very beginning of the story. Robinwing's story will be part of the prologue. Because, if you will notice, Willowkit and Creamkit are her kits. I know I'm kind of bending the ideas but hey, this is my story right? And if you think about it, Squirrelflight had her warrior duties even though she was a queen because her milk didn't come. Why can't I expand that a bit and make Robinwing a deputy queen?

Prologue
"Congratulations, Robinwing. You have two healthy kits." The light brown tom set the second mewling kit by her mother's belly. The tiny tortoiseshell newborn squirmed closer, beginning to suckle right away. "Both she-cats." He added.
"Thank you, Eaglefeather." Robinwing mewed, licking each kit lovingly. She noticed with worry that both kits had stopped nursing and were now searching elsewhere for food. "Why have they stopped nursing?" Her mew was shaky. Was something wrong with her new kits?
"I was worried about this. I had a feeling your milk wouldn't come. They have come far too early for you to be able to feed them. By the time your milk comes, they will be old enough to wean." Just a day before, her mate, Swiftstep, had been killed in an attack by a rogue. The stress and grief had caused her kits to come early.
"Then how will I feed them?"
"You won't be able to. The best we can do for your kits is to give them to Appleleaf. Though her kits were born dead, she still has milk." Eaglefeather's meow was low and regretful. He knew how much Robinwing loved her kits, however young they were. She looked at them.
"Will they know their mother?" She asked, not taking her eyes off them.
"If you want them to." Robinwing nodded.
"Then it is the least I could do for my daughters."
"You can return to warrior duties once your strength is up. There is no reason for you to remain in the nursery." Eaglefeather flicked his tail. "Mallowpaw, can you grab some borage for Appleleaf?" The small tabby nodded and bounded out. Appleleaf stood and padded up to the mother and her kits.
"What are their names?"
"The dark cream one will be named Creamkit, and her sister will be Willowkit." Appleleaf nodded, giving each a lick.
"I will take care of them as if they were my own." She mewed gently, licking her friend's ear gently.
"I know you will."

Three moons later:
"Sunstar!" The light ginger tom perked his head. The patrol consisting of Hollyfur, her apprentice Dustpaw and Shadefang bounded up to him.
"What is wrong?" The tom asked. His eyes kept flicking towards his own son, the young brown tom by Hollyfur's side.
"A battle has broken out near the DarkClan border. We got close enough to hear it, but were unable to do anything. The battle ended in a victory for our Clan, but we have suffered casualties. Addertooth and Brokenheart will be returning shortly with the bodies of Heatherpelt and Dappleclaw." With this news, Sunstar let out a yowl of grief. Both his mate and his deputy? Dustpaw lowered his head as well, his body trembling.
"We couldn't do anything. We were too late." He murmured sadly. By now, the Clan had come around to investigate. It wasn't long before the two senior warriors carried the bodies into camp. Yowls of grief rose above Sunstar's. Dappleclaw had been a much beloved deputy, and Heatherpelt had always been a great warrior. After sharing tongues with his mate for the last time, Sunstar retreated to his den dug into the roots of the Hightree. He sat with head bowed and tail curled around his paws as he asked StarClan who would be the best choice for deputy.
"Let all cats old enough to hunt for themselves gather here beneath the Hightree for a Clan meeting!" Sunstar's shape was illuminated by the stars, his pelt sparkling in the dimming night. "As you know, our beloved Deputy, Dappleclaw, was killed in a battle with DarkClan. We won the battle, but suffered loss as well. The clan will sit vigil in mourning for our two fallen cats, and Addertooth and Brokenheart have asked to bury them when the sun rises. Now it is time for me to choose the new deputy. I have thought hard, and asked StarClan if my choice is what they wish. And now I say these things before the body of Dappleclaw, that she may hear and approve of my choice. Robinwing, you have suffered great and yet your loyalty remains the strongest I have ever seen. You will take Dappleclaw's place as deputy." Robinwing perked up in surprise before owing her head respectfully.
"I will serve my Clan with all my strength." She meowed.
