Brackenfur is going to be the new deputy. I didn't get that many reviews for the last chapter, but the reviews that did come wanted Brackenfur. So here's the next chapter. Read and Review!
"Brackenfur will be the new deputy of ThunderClan," Firestar called from the Highledge. Yowls and cheers went up from below Firestar's shadow.
"Congratulations, Brackenfur," Brambleclaw went up to the golden brown tom. He was very civil to the other tom, everyone knew that Brambleclaw was a serious contender for the same position.
"Thank you Brambleclaw, I know you would've been a great deputy too," Brackenfur told the larger tom. Then, he leapt onto the Highledge and said, "I would like to thank Firestar for giving me this position, and I hope to serve you cats the best that I can. I know I cannot be as great a deputy as Whitestorm or Graystripe, but I will try my best." He leapt down into the mass of crowds.
"Good job, Brackenfur!" Squirrelflight squeezed in to say her complements. She left to the nursery again when she saw Sorreltail running to her mate purring ecstatically. Squirrelflight smiled and lay down in her bed, she had a long night ahead of her.
Squirrelflight sneaked out of the nursery in the dead of night, walking with Sunkit in her mouth. The night's wind whipped around her, and Sunkit almost fell. Squirrelflight regained her balance and walked on towards RiverClan territory. She didn't want to have to leave Rainkit in the nursery, but Sorreltail was there if Rainkit needed any assistance. Squirrelflight's senses were extra alert, and any creak from a twig sounded like someone was behind her. Finally she reached the RiverClan territory.
"Stormfur! I know you're here, answer me!" Squirrelflight called into the darkness. Luckily a thin, gray figure emerged from the still of the night.
"Squirrelflight what are you doing here?" Stormfur was shocked and excited about finally seeing his mate.
"I've missed you Stormfur," Squirrelflight gazed at him with her deep green eyes.
"I've missed you too," Stormfur wailed. "Is this our kit?"
"Yes, this is little Sunkit," Squirrelflight looked lovingly at her tom.
"Why didn't you bring Rainkit though?" Stormfur was puzzled.
"Because this kit must stay with you," Squirrelflight answered, tears glistening in her eyes. "Graystripe came back but he died. We need to carry on his legacy. Tell someone that you found this kit in the river and make sure he gets taken care of." Stormfur was in shock.
"My father is dead," he said hollowly.
"I'm so sorry," Squirrelflight cried, tears now streaming down her eyes.
"I will make sure our kit gets the best care," Stormfur determinedly said. "For Graystripe."
"Oh, by the way Brook left," Stormfur told Squirrelflight.
"That's good," Squirrelflight cheered up a little. "Goodbye Sunkit, be the best RiverClan warrior there ever was." Then, the flame colored she-cat left her mate and kit.
I hope it was long enough for everyone. And I tried to make this chapter a little more solemn, I was almost crying when I wrote it. Please read and review!
