Okay... And the winners are... NightmareTheFoxWitch and AshfurTheBroken! Antpelt is a reborn, but... I had a different, more main cat in mind. And that cat was Darkstripe. (He is supposedly gone, despite what the Wiki says...) The other candidate was Shredtail. He will be Witheredpaw. But he will be in Shadowclan. Since you both got one right, NightmareTheFoxWitch gets to choose Antpelt's new kit name, and deputy of Shadowclan. And... AshfurTheBroken, you get to choose Darkstripe's kit name and the deputy of Windclan since I really hate Harespring. Just saying.
NightmareTheFoxWitch: OMG. Are you okay? Don't choke to death!
AshfurTheBroken: YOU HAD PNEUMONIA. Glad your better. I missed your long reviews! TALLSTAR'S REVENGE FOREVER! And I will be doing the POV's in this order: Rosepaw, Eaglepaw, Flamepaw/Shypaw, Maybe Talonpaw, and Volepaw. The reason for maybe Talonpaw, is, I don't exactly like Riverclan that much... *cough*Appleduskthisissoyourfault*cough*
Tigerflight: No... Mudclaw hasn't faded away, and he is in Starclan. (And there is a reason behind it.) Shypaw is Spottedleaf, and a reborn, but I was looking for a bad cat.
Brokenstar, I LOVE YOU! I DON'T CARE THAT YOU KILLED KITS! (mostly) IT WAS PART OF YOUR DESTINY, AND IT ISN'T FAIR THAT YOU GET PUNISHED JUST BECAUSE YOUR MOM WAS A MEDICINE CAT! (Sorry Yellowfang)
Oh, and this takes place the night after the gathering.
Rosepaw's POV
"This is bindweed." A small light brown tabby pointed at some white flowers. "It binds sticks to broken bones, so they don't move." A white she-cat nodded.
"Now, what is this Rosepaw?" The light brown tabby nudged some roots.
"Are they comfrey root, Littlecloud?" Rosepaw said unsure. Littlecloud nodded.
"Yes, now what is it good for?" Rosepaw looked confident as she answered.
"It is used to repair broken bones and soothe wounds. It is also good for wrenched claws, and stiff joints."
"Good job Rosepaw!" Littlecloud mewed.
"Eaglepaw broke a claw today in training," Rosepaw stated, "Can I bring some to him?" Littlecloud nodded.
"Bring some prey back here afterwards." Rosepaw grabbed some of the root and bounded outside.
Rosepaw scanned the clearing for her brother, but instead saw her father, who had seemed to spot her as well.
"Rosepaw!" He called cheerfully. Rosepaw sulked over to her father. She didn't hate him, but he obviously favoured her over Eaglepaw. Rosepaw loved the attention, but wished that Scorchfur would love Eaglepaw as well, for Eaglepaw now hated her for it.
"Yes Scorchfur?" She sat down beside him.
"How are you doing today?"
"Great! Being a medicine cat is fun!" Rosepaw spoke enthusiastically. "I'm taking this comfrey root to Eaglepaw right now!"
As soon as Rosepaw said it, she instantly regretted it.
At the mention of his son's name, Scorchfur's face lost the happy expression. He swept Rosepaw closer with his tail. Scorchfur leaned down to whisper in her ear.
"You don't need to waste those precious herbs on that," Scorchfur stumbled, "On that fox-hearted rat."
Rosepaw gasped. Fox-hearted rat? "How can you say that?" She asked, befuddled, "He's your son!" Rosepaw emphasied your. Scorchfur glared, then saw who he was glaring at and his gaze softened.
"He's not our son, Snowbird. He is not Rosepaw's brother either. You know that." Rosepaw scrambled away from Scorchfur.
"I'm not Snowbird! I'm Rosepaw! And if Eaglepaw isn't your son, then," Rosepaw choked, and whispered the last few words, "Then, I'm not your daughter."
Rosepaw spun on her paw and bounded towards the apprentices den, leaving a shocked and confused Scorchfur behind her.
Rosepaw poked her head inside.
"Eaglepaw?" Rosepaw mewed cautiously.
"What do you need?" Came Eaglepaw's harsh reply.
"I brought some herbs for you claw." Eaglepaw glared at her. He held out his paw, and Rosepaw chewed the roots into a pulp, and dribbled it onto his paw.
She heard a sigh a relief come from her brother.
"I was-" Rosepaw started after she finished.
"Leave." Eaglepaw cut her off.
"But,"
"I don't want to talk to a cat like you!" Eaglepaw shouted, loud enough for the rest of the clan to hear, "You've done what you needed! Just get out!"
Holding back tears, Rosepaw rushed out. She crashed into Flamepaw, who mewed,
"I'll go talk to him." Rosepaw ignored him, and kept running.
"Rosepaw!" She heard a call from behind her, but was too upset to register who it was.
The white she-cat ran blindly through the pine trees until she reached the lake. She sat down between two large stones.
Rosepaw cried softly into her paws
She soon heard a cat padding through the forest. She scented the air, and recognized her closest friend Palepaw.
"Rosepaw!" Palepaw exclaimed as she found her friend. "What's wrong?"
"You should know what's wrong!" Rosepaw was usually gentle, but she didn't care what any other cat thought or felt at this moment.
"I want to be alone." Rosepaw continued crying. Palepaw stepped closer.
"Rosepaw, don't push me away." She said in a quiet voice. Rosepaw knew she was angry. "You're acting just like Scorchfur does to Eaglepaw!"
Rosepaw's breath caught. "I am nothing like him!" She backed away, and turned to run again, but ran straight into the lake.
Being a Shadowclan cat, Rosepaw didn't know how to swim. She heard Palepaw's frantic yelping on the shore.
"Help! Anyone, please help!"
Rosepaw struggled at first, but soon, she could feel the energy leave her. She felt, at peace.
So this is what death feels like. It's nice and peaceful. Rosepaw closed her eyes, but heard a splash above her. She saw a light brown tom coming down toward her.
Hello. She thought, Have you come to enjoy the peace? The tom grabbed her scruff, and started pulling her up.
When the two cats submerged, Rosepaw could see that they were heading for land.
The light brown tom dragged her onto the sand.
"Who are you?" Palepaw asked.
"Name's Stormpaw." Stormpaw put his paws on Rosepaw's chest, and started pushing down. Water gushed out of her mouth.
Rosepaw heard Palepaw, "Rosepaw, it's going to be okay. You're going to live."
Then, the world went black.
