Dappledleaf and Crystalheart stared in horror before Waterstep yowled "Aspenlight is dead!" Cats gasped and wailed in horror and depression.

"Crystalheart!" The mews of Coalpaw made her look up "I did everything you said! I defeated a she-cat apprentice!" Her frown turned to a smile as she praised "That's great. Good job, go get some prey for yourself."

Coalpaw dashed away before seeing her friends and sister step in "Your alright!" Owlwing said relieved "Thank Elementalclan!" Furyswipe exclaimed "Owlwing and I have some news..." Rabbitkick mewed smiling at Owlwing before she squealed "Rabbitkick and I are mates!"

Crystalheart smiled at the news and mewed "That's great, are you two planning on kits?" Rabbitkick and Owlwing mewed "Yes." Before Rabbitkick pitched in "But, we need to get settled on the tone of having mates."

Crystalheart nodded as the two lightened the mood as their personalities were like that. "That's good." Before hearing Spiritstar yowl.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey come for a clan meeting!"

Crystalheart and the others went and sat down all thinking the same thing 'Deputy.'

"The terrible death of Aspenlight will stay with us, her memory will always be with us." He began "But. As tradition and code. This clan must have a new deputy." Spiritstar paused and looked around at his clan and said "I have chosen Crystalheart."

She gasped 'Deputy?! When was she deputy materiel?!' She hesitated but nodded before walking up as cats began to chant.

"Crystalheart! Crystalheart! Crystalheart!"

She was deputy.... The second in command! Spiritstar trusted her! Thought of her as.... Someone important!
