Shadowpelt gazed in horror at the sight in front of him. Twolegs had stolen nearly everycat in his Clan and now what was left of camp was a complete wasteland. He turned to his Clanmates. "We have to stay here; there is no where else we can go!" He hissed, his body quivered as he looked at the apprentices. "But look at it; there is Twoleg crap everywhere!" A cream tabby and white she-cat hissed.
"You're right; but we can only communicate StarClan from here!" Shadowpelt hisses.
"So what? Brokenstar is dead!" Scorchtwist - the only medicine cat that hadn't died from the land - replied, her old wise eyes became daggers.
Basilleaf hisses at Scorchstwist and stands beside Shadowpelt. "You are supposed to chose your leader and deputy, and you're fighting with the most likely cat here!" The tabby she-cat's fur bristled.
Icekit - who had a scarred frostbitten paw- whimpered and shivered. "It's not safe for the kits." Scorchtwist meows as she licked the kit's fur. "We're staying - and that's final." Shadowpelt hissed and he forced his fur to lie flat as the two apprentices nodded and everycat dispersed, finding the dens.
"Shadowpelt?" Shadowpelt turned his head and saw Hollypaw - his apprentice. "Why did this have to happen?"
Shadowpelt sighs and he pat his tail beside him. "I don't know. But StarClan made it happen for a reason." Shadowpelt replies and looks at the foggy sky. Hollypw nods and trotted over to Sneezepaw. "Shadowpelt..." A voice echoed in his ears.
"It's time." Shadowpelt's eyes widened. "Tell Scorchtwist." Shadowpelt got up and nodded, running quickly to Scorchtwist.
The she-cat turned as her dagger eyes softened. "Yeah?"
"It's time for you to chose." Shadowpelt mews as he gasped for air."I already know; you as leader, Basilleaf for deputy."
Shadowpelt freezes. "A-are you sure?"
"Yes... I did promise Brokenstar that you - if there is no deputy or leader - that it'd be you. And Basilleaf is always wanting to assign patrols... Let's go ahead and go get your lives.
Shadowpelt nods and the two cats head outside.
