BlackEar flanked her, sadness in his green gaze, "He was a strong warrior..." he murmured gently, she flicked her tail, "He could have fought harder and killed whatever... Rogue was attacking him." he glanced at her confused for a moment, "All cats gather at highrock!" she darted forward, "I have thought hard about who should be Thistleclans new deputy... SquirrelTail, you are loyal and courageous, Like beetail was, will you accept the role of deputy?" she felt a savage relief flutter through her body, "I will." there was silence for a few moments then BlackEar began the chant, "SquirrelTail, SquirrelTail, SquirrelTail, SquirrelTail!" she gave him a grateful glance, as other cats joined in.
