Crowheart cocked his head. "Care to elaborate on that?" he said with raised eyebrows.

((Ooooooohhhh. I knew that!))

((I G2G))

Frostwing looked at Crowheart and said, "Not now, no."

Crowheart shrugged. "Why not? No cat is listening. I won't tell Hazelfur." he said.

Hazelfur finally stopped in the woods, panting. She sat down and flicked her tail a few times, sending dust into the air. Hazelfur sneezed and curled her tail around her paws. She stared at the ground as if it were a snake ready to strike, deep in though. Would Nightstar give the deputy spot to Frostwing again? Why would she. She was deputy before, but she broke the warrior code to have kits with... Wolf. That's why Nightstar would likely give her the position back. Because, Wolf being the King of Starclan, that makes Frostwing the Queen. Nightstar is likely scared of what would happen to her if she didn't give Frostwing the position back. Or was there a different reason? Hazelfur had never done anything bad to Frostwing, or Wolf or Nightstar, or even any other StormClan cat! Except just then, when she almost attacked Frostwing on the spot. There was no reason Hazelfur shouldn't be deputy. She would be a strong leader and squash DarkClan for good. Send them back into the snake's hole where they came from. She'd lead StormClan to victory! Maybe that's why Nightstar didn't want her... Maybe, she just acted too strong, and was too tempermental, too quick to fight. Hazelfur came back to reality when a crow gave an alarmed call. She jerked her head up. She will change for the better of the clan. She'd be better than Frostwing dreamed! No cat would defy her! Hazelfur looked around at her surrounding and scented the air. This wasn't StormClan territory. She was with DarkClan! She bristled from nose to tail tip. She couldn't be caught here! Not now! She scrambed to retrace her scent trail, back over the StormClan border.

((That's true, and actually, I was planning on killing Bloodstar, just not completely. >:) And I gotta go empty the dishwasher, possibly go to the library, maybe eat now, so I'll try to make this quick before I go. And I'm still trying to decide who should be deputy. Skyshadow is my charry, so it wouldn't be as fun.))

Skyshadow nodded. "Sure, go and get Orangepaw. I'll meet you at the hollow!" She meowed, then raced off into the distance.

Shadesky looked up suprised. "Wha-?"

Nightstar closed her eyes slowly as the two she-cats whisked off. For once, it felt as if all of StarClan was sitting on her shoulders.  Depressed, she fumbled into her den, and dozed off and into a deep sleep.

Crowheart sighed. "I'm not trying to blame you for anything Frostwing. Just listen. If you had given Canis a warrior name, Nightstar would probably be all the more willing to let you be deputy. But you didn't. His destiny doesn't matter. Would it matter if Wolfpaw was the prince of Starclan? Or whatever you would have named him. That's all I have left to say on the subject Frostwing." said Crowheart, dipping his head solemly and padding off to find Hazelfur. He hoped she wasn't in big trouble. As he rounded the corner to exit camp, him and Hazelfur were nose to nose. "I was just coming to look for you." he said.

Hazelfur grunted. "There's no need. I must speak with Nightstar. I'm leaving StormClan."

"What?!" Crowheart exclaimed, eyes widening. "You can't leave!We need you!" he said.

"Try telling that to some cat who cares. o one here appreciates me enough, and I know now that I am better suited to be a DarkClan cat." replied Hazelfur, a far off look in her eyes. She walked past Crowheart to wards the leader's den and poked her head in. " "Nightstar? Are you there?" she called, hoping his wasn't a bad time.

Frostwing who, after thinking over her conversation with Crowheart, was also looking for Nightstar. She over heard Hazelfur and yowled, "What?! Why do you think Darkclan would appreciate you more than we do?"
