Brightpaw
"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather here for a Clan meeting."
"I wonder who the new deputy is." Brightpaw told Blackpaw.
"Me too."
"As you all know," Shinystar began. "Grayclaw is dead. The new deputy is Goldfur. We honor your loyalty."
"Thank you, Shinystar." Goldfur dipped her head. "I will work hard to serve this Clan."
"Goldfur! Goldfur! Goldfur!" The Clan chanted.
When the meeting was over, Brightpaw went back to the apprentices' den. This time, she fell asleep.
**************************
Nearly a moon had passed since Grayclaw's death.
LightClan was on their way to the gathering.
Brightpaw's pawsteps crunched through the ice. Blackpaw had walked right besides her. It was a very long walk to the Fourtress.
When they finally reached the Fourtress, most cats from different Clans began mingle together.
When the meeting had begun, Sprinklestar spoke first.
"All is well with MistClan. We have a new apprentice, Leafpaw. She's not here with us today, though. Shinystar, would you like to go next?" he meowed.
Shinystar nodded and stepped forward.
"Our deputy, Grayclaw, had died from greencough a few nights ago." She announced. "The new deputy is Goldfur." Almost every cat looked at Goldfur. Goldfur nodded awkwardly.
At the end of the gathering, Brightpaw noticed a dark gray SmokeClan she-cat staring at Blackpaw. It was not a cold stare, it was an affectionate stare. Brightpaw began to suspect something.
How can a SmokeClan cat look at a LightClan cat like that? She thought.
"Are you coming or am I going to have to carry you back to camp?" Blackpaw meowed.
"Coming!"
"Great. It's a long way back to camp." arrived at camp.
When they arrived back at camp, Graypaw and Darkpaw were chatting in the apprentices' den.
"I don't see why rouges get to go to gatherings. What was Shinystar thinking?" Darkpaw spat.
"Leave him alone, Darkpaw. He is not a rouge."
"Shut up, Brightpaw! your always defending this mouse-brain."
"He is no mouse-brain!" I spat.
"Yes he is! And you're being mouse-brained just by hanging out with him!"
Anger shot through Brightpaw's eyes she unsheathed her claws, ready to shred off every hair on his pelt.
"Take that back!" Blackpaw spat. "She is smart and strong, and a great friend! You will never live up to be as great as her, no matter how hard you try!" As he said that, Darkpaw pounced at Blackpaw but Blackpaw dodged him, forcing Darkpaw to stop quickly. Blackpaw flung himself on Darkpaw and clawed him.
Darkpaw shook him off and pinned him Blackpaw, but Blackpaw rolled over and pinned Darkpaw.
"Say you're sorry." Blackpaw spat.
"Never, mouse-brain!" Darkpaw spat back.
"Say sorry, or else-" Blackpaw was interrupted by Shinystar.
"I want both of you, in my den, now!"
