Yes, Graystripe really is dead. I hope he comes back in the really books because I love him! But I didn't in this because I think it would mess up the whole plot. So please still read and review!
Squirrelflight looked adoringly at her kits. Rainkit was wandering around in the nursery. She tumbled up to Sorreltail and chased her tail.
"Rainkit! Come back!" Squirreltail called to her kit. The clumsy gray kit ran back to her mother.
"Now if only Stormfur was here," Squirrelflight thought to herself. She was getting very restless in the nursery. Squirrelflight missed the thrill of running through the forest, playing with her friends and seeing Stormfur. She sighed and laid her head down as her kits fell asleep.
"Graystripe is dead!" Leafpool called to the ThunderClan cats. Squirrelflight bolted up. She couldn't believe that Graystripe was dead. He was her second father, her friend when her own dad was busy, he couldn't be dead. She rushed out of the nursery, to her dad.
"Graystripe isn't dead is he?" Squirrelflight cried.
Firestar bowed his head and replied, "Yes, he really is." He walked over to his friends body and lay down licking his fur.
Squirrelflight was astounded, she would have never thought that Graystripe was dead. His legacy now lay in the paws of his two grandkits, whom he had never know. She now knew what she had to do. Finally, Firestar rose up and leaped onto the Highledge.
"Cats of ThunderClan, you all know that my deputy, Graystripe is dead. It is now time to appoint a new one. I say these words before the body of Graystripe, that his spirit may hear and approve my choice. will be the new deputy of ThunderClan.
I want you guys to decide who the new deputy should be. I can't decide between Brackenfur and Brambleclaw. So read, review and vote! Yes, I know this was a very short chapter, next one will be longer.
