Jerenbee loves Led Zeppelin:I know, I wish that I could destroy Sparrowstar too! Tigerstripe would make a great leader, but that isn't what I have planned. Good guess though!
Whisperblaze:You nailed exactly what I had planned! You were the only one to guess it correctly!
Thanks to everyone who helped me hit 50 reviews, even though it doesn't seem like a lot, it is to me, especially that it is my first story.
On with the new chapter!
Chapter 17
Sagepaw woke up to a commotion in the camp.
"Hawkwing?"
"Yes?" He responded. He too had been very sad and disappointed with the battle, but he had said that he was proud of what Sagepaw had done and that soon, he would take her to the moon rock so she could get her full medicine cat name.
"There's a commotion outside."
"Well, let's see what it's about," and together, Hawkwing and Sagepaw walked out of the medicine den.
The first thing that Sagepaw saw was a still lying Tallfoot and an familiar face standing over the top of him. Eagleclaw.
"… I will be your new leader and anyone who opposes me will have the same fate as this old fleabag."
"He's not an old fleabag! He was important to me!" Sagepaw screeched at the top of her lungs.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Sagekit. As for why I killed Tallfoot, he stood in my way. Every cat old enough to catch their own prey, gather beneath the tall rock for a clan meeting!"
The cats gathered beneath the tallrock and immediately Eagleclaw started.
"I am Airclan's new leader. Clawslash will be my deputy. I will receive my leader name and my nine lives tonight! Finally, Sagepaw is banished from the clan. Anyone who wants to go with her you can." Eagleclaw then jumped down from the tall rock and padded to his new den.
Sagepaw was astonished at the fact that she had been banished.
"Sagepaw?" She turned around to see Tigerstripe and Leafheart. "We're going with you."
"Really?" Sagepaw asked.
"Yes. You're our friend and we want to help you."
"Okay, I'll meet you at the camp entrance in a second. I want to say goodbye to Hawkwing." Sagepaw walked over to the medicine den, where Hawkwing was sitting with his mouth open in shock.
"How are you so calm? You just got banished and your kin was just slaughtered by your father!"
"Number one, I'm not calm on the inside. Right now, I'm a nervous wreck. Number two, I knew that Eagleclaw would do something to hurt me, but just not this soon, and number three, I can't believe that Tallfoot is gone and I will miss him always."
Hawkwing just stared at her.
"But that isn't what I came over here to talk about. I'm leaving with Leafheart and Tigerstripe and I wanted to say goodbye."
"Before you go Sagepaw, I want to give you your full medicine cat name."
"But I thought that we needed to be at the Moon Rock?"
"Well I can't do that anymore so I'm going to give it to you now. Do you promise to serve your clan-mates as well as you can?"
"I do." Sagepaw meowed
"Then from now on, your full medicine cat name will be Sageleaf!"
"Thank you Hawkwing. For everything that you have done to help me."
"Goodbye Sagepaw. I will see you soon. I know that I will." Hawkwing meowed sadly.
Sagepaw nodded in farewell, and exited the den for the camp entrance. She stopped when she walked by Tallfoot and said goodbye to him. She then continued to walk to the camp entrance to leave with Tigerstripe and Leafheart.
"Ready Sagepaw?" Tigerstripe asked.
"Yes, and I'm now Sageleaf."
"Congratulations!" Leafheart and Tigerstripe both exclaimed.
"Now, let's go." The three of them walked out of camp.
Just so everyone knows, this story is coming to a close in about another 3-4 chapters (including epilogue). Thanks to everyone who read this chapter and I will update soon! Also, keep the reviews/favorites/follows coming!
