Epilogue
"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join here beneath Highledge for a Clan meeting!" Firestar called.
"We have to recognize Dakrheart for warning me about Hawkfrost's plan with the badgers. And for that I believe StarClan would accept if her name was changed."
All the cats cheered. Firestar continued, "Spirits of StarClan, you know every cat by name. I ask you now to take away the name from the cat you see before you, for it no longer stands for what she is. By my authority as Clan leader, and with the approval of our warrior ancestors, I give this cat a new name. From this moment she will be known as Starheart!" All the cats chanted her new name and suddenly stopped. Her fur shined and it turned starry white. The rings around her eyes turned black and a black star appeared on her forehead. Her tail had black rings around it
"StarClan has sent this as a sign that her name be changed; StarClan has accepted this cat to walk beneath their skies." Firestar mewed.
"And I believe Whitepaw deserves her warrior name." Whitepaw looked to Starheart who nodded to her.
"I call upon my warrior ancestors to look down upon this apprentice. She has trained hard to understand the ways of your noble code, and I commend her to you as a warrior in her turn. Whitepaw do you promise to follow the warrior code and defend this Clan, even at the cost of your life?"
Whitepaw mewed quietly, "I do."
"Then by the powers of StarClan I give you your warrior name. Whitepaw, from this day forth you will be known as Whitenose. ThunderClan welcomes you as a full warrior."
"Whitenose! Whitenose!" the cats of ThunderClan chanted.
Whitenose smiled up at Starheart and went out for her vigil.
As the cats went to congratulate Whitenose Starheart snuck out.
"Hawkfrost, I know your there." Starheart mewed, she headed to the lake.
"Darkheart I-" he stared at Starheart blankly, "Who are you? You smell like Darkheart but look nothing like her."
"You're slow to catch on - aren't you?"
"You are Darkheart! What happened?" Hawkfrost mewed.
"My name was changed, so StarClan changed me, but that's not what I'm asking you about."
"What?"
"I know you scared the badgers away from the Camp."
"What are you talking about?"
"Spiderleg told me that a dark brown tabby came and led the badgers away." Starheart mewed.
"Wasn't me," Hawkfrost mewed.
Starheart shook her head, "'Bye Hawkfrost,"
Starheart padded of to a patch of watermint and hid behind it. Hawkfrost sighed and mewed, "I guess, I can't get her to love me."
Starheart watched him as he padded off.
"I heard that," Starheart mewed
Hawkfrost turned around.
Hawkfrost stared at her with a look filled with depression. "RiverClan found out."
"Didn't you want them to? Wasn't that the point?"
"I didn't know what I was doing." Hawkfrost stared down at the ground, "At first I did everything by the warrior code. Then I thought I deserved to at least be deputy. Then Mistyfoot was captured and I became deputy. I thought I was destined to become leader because of my honor for the warrior code. Until Mistyfoot came back, then I felt that it was a sign from StarClan that I couldn't be deputy until I forced myself to be deputy. So that's what I tried to do. Now because of my stupid actions I've been exiled."
"Hawkfrost," Starheart started, "You are stupid. You thought you could force yourself into becoming deputy? Your-"
"I know, I know! 'My father tried the same thing.' Do you know how many times I've heard that?" Hawkfrost hissed.
Starheart just stared at him.
"Well, I guess you don't want to be seen with a rogue now do you?"
"Hawkfrost, I did like you but you betrayed me and my trust for you."
"I understand," Hawkfrost headed to the halfbridge.
I love him but… I just can't trust him… yet.
It's over! If you want me to make a sequel I want 10 reviews saying so. Until then, enjoy the story!
06/29/13 Update:
You people kill me, you know that?
Because I've recently gotten a surprising amount of comments on this (okay, more like two, but for a story this old and poorly written ANY reviews are weird): I wrote this SEVEN YEARS AGO. I think STARLIGHT was the most recent book out. Whitewing was still an apprentice. I wanted her to become a warrior. I gave her her warrior name and I named her Whitenose. THAT IS ALL.
