Darkspots splashed her way to the riverclan camp. She had been the first one back from a
recent skirmish with thunderclan. Over sunningrocks, as always. A guy named Pikebelly that
was the deputy or something died in the battle. She hadn't paid attention to him much when he
was alive. Unless they were on patrol. Or he gave her orders. It suddenly occurred to her that
the next deputy could be her. Sure, my tail`s missing so i can't climb trees, but what kind of
Riverclan cat climbs trees?
Her wounds stung, so she went to see Mosscloud, the fluffiest medicine cat in Riverclan history.
"Scratches, yes? I have something for that." she heard Mosscloud`s optimistic mew.
"Yeh, because you're a medicine cat." she began plastering a stinging dark green poultice on
the scratches on her flanks and back. Darkspots saw the rest of the patrol with pikebelly`s
corpse arrive through the entrance. She sat up and scratched the ear that had been split down
the middle with her back leg. Riverclan`s leader, driftstar looked uncharacteristically solemn as
He came out of his den to deliver the eulogy for the fallen second-in-command. Darkspots did
not sit vigil for him for reasons *see two paragraphs up* instead she went to her den to sleep
like some other warriors.
"HEH?" she yowled/grunted as a thin paw prodded her in the face. "Oh, hey Coalfur." Darkspots
growled absently to Coalfur`s annoyed, tired expression. " Its moonhigh. Driftstar is about to
name the new deputy."
