Sorry I haven't written for a few days! This one is in Silverkit's perspective. In the next two chapters, I'll skip ahead. Enjoy!
Silverkit didn't understand. Why would her father kill the deputy? A cry rang out from the middle of camp. "Help! Pebbleclaw is dead!" Yelled Foxfeather. "I found her body near the Great Spruce Tree!" Silverkit sprinted outside and saw Foxfeather and Brackenfeather carrying Pebbleclaw's body in. Jaggedstar raced out of her den and widened her eyes. "How did this happen?" Bloodtalon walked out and widened his eyes when he saw Pebbleclaw's body. "Who would do such a thing?" he asked. "Well one thing is for certain." Jaggedstar said "We must name a new deputy." She jumped on the high branch "I say these words befor Pebbleclaw and hope that she will hear and approve of my choice. Bloodtalon will be the new deputy of Mountainclan." Bloodtalon dipped his head "I will do my best" he said.
Bluesong and Graypeak cleaned up Pebbleclaw's body for the vigil. Bloodtalon started organizing hunting patrols. Graypeak (Her mother) Walked over and pulled her close "Isn't it so great that Bloodtalon's the deputy now?" "Yeah, but Pebbleclaw's dead…" Silverkit responded. "Yes, we will sit vigil tonight" Graypeak said.
Silverkit bowed her head while they sat vigil for Pebbleclaw. She looked at the dead deputy sadly, knowing that Bloodtalon was responsible for her death, and she did nothing. "If you're tired, you can go to bed" Graypeak said. "Ok" Silverkit went to her nest.
Silverkit woke up in Starclan. This time, when Dawnheart walked over, she was accompanied by two cats. She instantly recognized Windkit and Pebbleclaw. "Welcome back" Dawnheart smiled "As you can see Pebbleclaw is here, and as you probably know, she was killed by Bloodtalon, who is even more dangerous now that he is deputy. You must stop him." "But… He's my father. And maybe he has a reason…" Silverkit said. "And… ugh. I don't know." "I know. It's had to defend Bloodtalon for what he did" Pebbleclaw dipped her head. "But you must stop him, like we said. You must return to sit vigil for me. Goodbye. Until our next meeting" Starclan faded into the distance.
Silverkit woke up to find it was almost sunrise. She quietly padded out of the nursery, where she discovered her mother and Bloodtalon went to sleep. She quietly sat beside Jaggedstar, as she watched the sunrise, knowing she must stop Bloodtalon from killing anymore cats. What if he kills more soon, before I'm an apprentice… What if he kills Jaggedstar to become leader? Oh Starclan, what am I going to do?
Hope you all liked it! In the next chapters, Moonkit and Silverkit will become apprentices. Leave your reviews below, and also
