Chapter 7 Covered
I woke up with the sweet smell of Ferntail filling my nostrils
From my dream. I padded out from my den, but them instead of my paws touching the warm weather and the warm grass I felt the cold weather and the soft slushy snow on the grass.
"Burrrr! I should of smelt this was coming!"
The leader was already up and ready for the morning patrols. She came up to me and said "go get Dawnleaf, Mudclaw, Rosecloud and Cloudclaw for morning patrol."
"Yes Leafstar" I said while turning back toward the cold den. As soon as I woke up the four cats they followed me out into the clearing.
"Now I want all of you to hunt and go look around the borders to see if there are any cats left," said Leafstar.
Cloudclaw complained "why doubling the things we have to do?"
The leader flicked her tail to silence him, and his ears went down and he replied "yes Leafstar"
"Good! Now go." She said as she went to burry the dead deputy.
We all hurried put into the forest. I followed the sent of a skinny rabbit, near by in a bush. I leaped into it and came out with it hanging down form my mouth. I was tempted to eat it because of the warm smell, but I tried hard not to. As soon as we all caught something we burried it into a deep hole, and we went to patrol the borders of Thunderclan. So far as I could see, there were no Shadowclan cats anywhere. If they come, they would have to go through me!
I growled deeply. "Hey FrostTail are you ok?", said a she cat.
"Oh sorry, I'm fine thanks." I replied.
Once as everyone was done looking over the borders we went to the hole to grab our fresh-kill. We all ran back to camp and I put down my rabbit first, then I chose a bird for breakfast. The fresh kill was getting skinnier by the day or even the hour.
We were all weak and tired from all of the fighting, but we were glad it was over. I looked up to the sky "Starclan if you are really there....show me what to do." The trees ruffled the green leaves that hung down form the droopy forest. Paws were padding up and down the clearing until I looked up.
The leader was calling through a group meeting. I must have dosed off. I hurried under the highrock just below the leader. She smiled at me and nodded her head. Moonpool and Bluestorm were next to me. I felt there warm comforting fur on mine from there's.
"We have gathered here today to morn for our lost deputy, Ferntail. He was a great deputy and we honor him from Starclan. I must chose a new deputy now." FrostTail thought to herself she would never pick me. "She is big and strong and deserves this. It will be FrostTail!" I stared at her with wide eyes and the clan started to chant my name. FrostTail! FrostTail! FrostTail!
I walked calmly up the highrock. The leader looked at me and smiled with the wind ruffling her glossy gray fur. "Are you ready for this big opportunity?" She said while narrowing her eyes down deep into mine.
"Of course Leafstar. I am ready!"
"Then by Starclan I grant you as the deputy. Congratulations FrostTail!" I looked at the warming eyes of the other cats down below the highrock. The clan started to chant my name once more FrostTail! FrostTail! My paws took my down the slope of the highrock and cats came outside of there sitting position and padded toward me to congratulate the new deputy. My paws kneaded the slushy ground filled with white puffy snow.
More snow was coming down, but now...... In patches!
