RIVERCLAN MEETING!!! (EVERYONE)

[::Fawn::]

Fawnstar breathed deeply, her emerald optics clouding over with confusion and even guilt. The young leader knew what she had to do, but it was doing it that was the problem. Taking a deep breath, the red brown she cat leapt lightly onto the highrock, raising her chin, trying to promote some self confidence. Shifting her paws nervously, she opened her mouth and spoke, loud and clear. Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey come to the highrock for a clan meeting.

Fawnstar paused, waiting for the cats to assemble below her. After a moment, seeing the cats file over to sit below the highrock, she began to speak some of the most painful words she had ever had to utter. Cats of RiverClan, Fawnstar began, her voice shaking with nerves and uncertainty. I have something to say of great importance. Due to the current circumstances, I must make a great alter to RiverClan's ranks. We've always had a strong loyal leader and deputy, but times are changing, and so are the cats. Under to the current circumstances, I feel it my priority to tell you that... She breathed deeply, preparing herself for the plunge. Under the current circumstances, and because of a very delicate personal matter, Mistshine will be demoted from deputy to regular warrior, untill...Well...I say otherwise... Fawnstar's voice faultered, and died. Shuffling her paws for a moment, she stood on the rock, waiting for her clan's reactions.

[STREAMY ?!]

Mistshine sat in the shadows, eyes half-closed as she listened to her leader's words. She was, in a way, relieved--Fawnstar hadn't exiled her. She had no doubt that this had nothing to do with their friendship--Fawnstar was a real stickler, but she was extremely fair, too. The white she-cat actually wanted to bound up and lick her leader's face all over, but of couse she abstained from it. Instead she sat, tail wrapped around white paws, waiting to see who the new deputy would be.

Mossfire's eyes widened in astonishment. What had Mistshine done to deserve this? Mossfire looked around to see if she was the only one suprised by the news. She had always respected the deputy and thought she was a great rolemodel for the younger cats. She hoped she wasnt the only one looking confused at this point.

Silvercloud was surprised too. It was a harsh blow, but he knew Fawnstar well enough to know she wouldn't do something like this for no good reason; that'd be beyond cruelty. He hoped Mistshine wasn't taking this too hard; she may not be deputy anymore, but Silvercloud had a feeling that most cats wouldn't immediatley ignore her "orders". So the bengal tom just sat quietly until his leader announced the new deputy.

The ginger medicine cat's eyes lay on the leader without moving, half surprised by the leader's actions as he turned his green gaze to Mistshine, sitting in the shadows. He couldn't help but dip his head with respect to the past deputy before looking back to fawnstar, woundering what had brought this on.

Willowstream.

Willowstream sat next to Mistshine after just entering the camp not long ago. She took a gulp and nudged the she-cat's side softly, her blue eyes showing her apologies as she prowled closer to the group of cats, curious on who the new deputy would be.

She felt sorry for her sister, but knew that what fawnstar had done was done for a good reason and she would ask mistshine later what had happened as she looked up at the leader.

Dawn's eyes widened from where she watched, deep in the shadows. She didn't look at the leader but at the poor ex-deputy, whose secret she happened to have realized a little bit previous while watching Mistshine refrain from eating. They'd had a brief interaction, which Dawnstorm didn't want to remember - the memories of all conversation that involved her was full of her own terror. The shy warrior felt bad for Mistshine, who was very nice, but wasn't about to say such a thing. The very idea of talking made her knees feel weak. She simply watched, watched and waited for the new deputy to be announced.

[::Fawn::]

Fawnstar sighed as she saw the looks of shock on her clan's face's. She took a deep breath, readying herself for what she would say next. The new deputy will be Mossfire. She meowed sadly. No cat would ever make as great a deputy as mistshine, but she was confident that mossfire would do the job well. She had considered choosing Dawnstorm, but the leader had decided against it, because she knew the quiet she cat to be very shy.

A light twinkle lit up in the medicine cat's eyes as he looked at Mossfire, giving a small dip of his head to the new deputy before turning his emerald gaze back to Fawnstar, his long ginger fur ruffled slightly by the shock of the ceremony but respecting the leaders choice.

The tom got lightly to his paws, streching his stiff back legs slightly as he turned his gaze to The ex deputy sadly before sitting back down.

[STREAMY ?!]

Mistshine blinked at Willowstream, as if she hadn't noticed the other she-cat was sitting right next to her. She could feel Kestrelpaw's gaze on her; she had suspected that the young cat knew her secret. Dawnstorm also did, but Mistshine knew the shy she-cat would keep silent. As her medicine cat gazed sadly at her, she met his eyes and then looked down.
Fawnstar finally announced who the new deputy would be--Mossfire. Mistshine almost smiled--but no. Mossfire would make a great deputy, and do the job well, though...

[Nightpaw]

Nightpaw's emotions felt all tangled up inside of her. She was confused as to why Mistshine had been demoted and felt sympathy for her, but she also felt a strange pride in knowing that her mentor was the new deputy. She also felt guilt for feeling pride. Afterall Mistshine had been demoted!

Mossfire stood shocked and confused. Her emotions mixed, she was upset for Mistshine, but excited all at the same time. She walked slowly to Mistshine and dipped her head her eyes filled with regret. "Im sorry....Im sure you will get your position back quickly" She meowed softly not meeting the ex-deputy's gaze. Mossfire turned away and sat looking at the leader. Why me? she asked herself. As far she knew she had done nothing special, just did what she was suppose to but then so did every other loyal warrior. Fear churned in her, what if the others hated her now for being picked to replace Mistshine. They wouldnt would they? Mistshine would get position back soon anyway.

[silvercloud]

Silvercloud padded over to Mossfire. "Congrats Mossfire." He mewed, a smile stretched across his muzzle. Though he still felt a little confussed, he was sure he wasn't the only one. No one would forget Mistshine, that was for sure, but would they accept this unexpected changing of the guard?

[::Fawn::]

Fawnstar dipped her head towards the new deputy, but kept silent, shooting Mistshine a look that clearly said I'll talk to you later. Mean while, turning towards Mossfire, she meowed, Mossfire, you can assign patrols if you would like, I'll be in my den, if you need me. She flicked her tail in farewell, and slunk off towards her den.
