It had been three moons since the untimely deaths of the nobel ThunderClan, WindClan, and ShadowClan leaders, and most thought that the forest was going to be okay now but, the dark ginger warrior knew that nothing would be okay, the forest would be thrown into nothing but chaos without the three leaders. The she-cat couldn't shake the feeling, why couldn't she? The warrior licked her flank, not worrying about it at this moment, there was no reason to worry about it at the moment, she'd decided to deal with it as became more of a problem. Yes it was true ShadowClan's new leader who replaced Blackstar was a strong warrior, Rowanclaw-. . . Rowanstar was in charge of his clan now, while Ashstar was the new leader of WindClan. The she-cat would be a good leader though, honest and fair with all cats. Lastly, left ThunderClans leader, the son of Tigerstar. Brambleclaw. The dark brown tabby warrior had refused to go to the moonpool, he was afraid. Even though he didn't admit it to any cat, Jayfeather was begining to become more and more annoyed with his new leader, he wanted Brambleclaw to recieve his nine lives as a clan leader, and recieve his honorable name before something bad happened to him.
"Brambleclaw," She mewed, the tom was in the leaders den all alone with a scruffy pelt, his bones could easily be seen under his fur, he hadn't eaten for a while. He would starve if she didn't get him to eat something, the younger warrior padded out of the den, looking around the clearing for a warrior who was strong enough, with the prey being as hard to find as it was during this time of the year. She then spotted a young tom, a long-limped black tom with brown underbelly and amber eyes. Spiderleg(s). She thought, the tom was strong as ever today, along with Foxleap, a reddish-brown tabby tom. They'll be prefect to catch Brambleclaw prey with me. Even though she was hungry herself, the she-cat still loved Brambleclaw, and wanted to help him. Not just because she would like to be his deputy, but because she was a kind cat, she wanted to help him through everything. She'd die for Brambleclaw if she had too, they'd been through so much together even when she was an apprentice to Dustpelt, the dark ginger warrior remembered their mission to the sun-drown-place, it was herself, Brambleclaw, Crowfeather, Tawnypelt, Stormfur, and Feathertail who went together.
She padded over to the two quickly, they lifted their heads gazing at her and then dipping her head to them, "Hello Squirrelflight," Foxleap mewed happily. He had always been her good friend, through both hard and easy times for the whole entire year. "Hello, Foxleap," She turned to look at Spiderleg with her green eyes, "Spiderleg, we need to go hunt for Brambleclaw, he has grown weak. He will die of starvation, then who will lead us?" Squirrelflight looked into their eyes, she knew enither of them knew about Tigerstar, the power hungry warrior was the father of Brambleclaw, and his sister Tawnypelt. A few heartbeats later they nodded, dipping their heads to Squirrelflight,"Thank you." she mewed, leading them toward the camp entrance, Dustpelt, and Ferncloud were sitting with Birchfall. Grooming each other's pelts. Dustpelt gazed at his former apprentice, his eyes wide with suprise that she had taken so much responcibility on after her fathers death.
"Where are you going Squirrelflight?" Dustpelt mewed in awe, the warrior knew what she was up too, did he just want her to admit it to him. Instead of leaving the camp without reason with two toms? What did she look like? A kit producer for more then one tom? She shook the thoughts from her head, "Hunting." She mewed, dipping her head to respect him and then bounded outside of the camp entrance. She lead them to the RiverClan border, it felt as if that were a mistake because a RiverClan patrol was out now, Rainstorm, Mistystar, and Silverpaw. Great. She thought, a flash back from when Mistystar was still Riverclan deputy, named Mistyfoot. Brambleclaw had told her that she was a friend of ThunderClan, she had been for moons, even before she was told that Bluestar was her true mother. Im a mousebrain!
