Starry Paws Book Two

Epilogue

      Singewhisker trotted along side Petalcloud and Goosejump. He gave a flick of his ear and picked up his speed to catch up with Preystar.
"Preystar?" He meowed quietly.
"Yes?" He looked up.
"Are you waiting for the day I die.... To get a pure Thunderclan cat as your deputy?" Singewhisker said looking at my paws as He walked.
"Singewhisker! No! I picked you for a reason! Your kind, loving, smart. You know when you've had enough, when something is not right... Your the perfect deputy... Keep in mind, I wasn't clan born." The gentle tom mewed, draping his skinny tail on my flank.
"Thank you..." Singewhisker said with a hint of sorrow.
"If I had to chose someone else it would be Brindlefrost..." He said, glancing at the gray speckled she-cat.
"Why?" He meowed.
"Because she has your blood. She is basically a she-cat version of you!" He laughed flicking his ears.
     "Ha..." The gray tabby murmured. He started picking his pace up until he reached the Windclan section of cats.
Goldenwing.... Goldenwing... He thought over in his head as he scanned the path for the golden she-cat.
Finally, Singewhisker spotted her. She carried a dark dusky brown kit.
"Hi, Goldenwing." Singewhisker meowed as he passed up to her.
"Who's this?" He asked nodded to the kit in her jaws.
"Featherkit. She's Marronpelt's kit." She muffled around thick fur.
     "Nice to meet you young one. You'll be as strong as your father one day." Singewhisker purred as a memory of the brown and tan tom came to mind.
    She swatted at him with large paws, "No! I'll be better!" She giggled and narrowed her fierce blue eyes.
     "Now Featherkit." Goldenwing started before Singewhisker cut her off.
"No, No! It's okay! She's gonna be a great warrior. Does she have siblings?" He meowed batting the kit's black nose as she swiped at him.
She nodded and pointed with her fluffy tail to two kits swarming around a light tabby's paws and another in a tortoiseshell she-cat's jaws.
     "Go on! Introduce yourself!" She nodded Him to the cats.
Singewhisker licked his fur flat and padded up to the cats.
"Hello.  I'm Singewhisker, deputy of Thunderclan! I was talking to Goldenwing and she told me to meet you guys!" Singewhisker said flicking his tail to the golden she-cat.
   "Hello, Singewhsiker. I am Trembletail. And this is Opalwhisper.... Marronpelt's  sister." She meowed in a calm voice.
"Nice to meet you! And who are these lovely kits?" Singewhsiker looked at the kits. The biggest kit was a reddish Tom-kit with these white paws.
"This is Reedkit." She meowed licking the tom's head.
He squeaked and rolled in his back.
Singewhisker smiled and looked at the others.
The other kit dancing around Opalwhisper's paws was a bright calico.
"This is Tansykit." She said and flicked her white kinked tail to the she-kit tangled in Opalwhisper's fur.
I looked at the last kit who was in Trembletail's jaws.
He was a silver tom with white paws and darker gray stripes.
"And this little tom is, Willowkit."  She said and nuzzled the tiny kit. She shrieked.
"Oh I'm sorry to startle you." Trembletail meowed.
Singewhisker  dipped his head and kept my pace up with the Thunderclan cats.
     "Singewhisker!" Singewhisker heard his leader call.
He turned around and stopped as his leader came up to him.
"About what you said..." He panted.
Singewhisker nodded.
     "Im not waiting for you to die, I'm waiting for me to die."
