"What's gotten into you?" Silvertip asked, confused and incredulous. They were Clanmates! Maybe they weren't the best of friends, but the warrior code did say that they were to work together and defend together. Fearing her was just ignorance. Shrugging the question off, she looked back up at Palefoot for orders.

"Alright, thank you Silvertip. I will leave you in charge when I leave," Palefoot mewed softly. "Can a few of you bring Leafstar's body into the center of the camp, so that we may all say our goodbyes and sit vigil for our beloved leader?" she asked outloud.

Feeling it was her obligation, Silvertip flicked her tail to Winterleaf and the closest warrior. "We will. Are you coming, Winterleaf?" Although Silvertip was in charge while Palefoot was at the Moonpool, she wasn't a deputy, or senior warrior at that. She would have to be careful on how she gave orders.

A few cats dragged Leafstar's body before the throng of cats. Palefoot went up to her body first. She genlty pressed her muzzle against Leafstar's neck and muttered her goodbyes. Wishing that she was still alive, but thanking her for giving her the chance to serve under her and the chance to lead this amazing Clan.

Silvertip copied the motion, and breathed in the last of her leader's scent. Her eyes glowing with sympathy, the she-cat gently gave Palefoot a nudge. "Don't worry. Being a leader is the same as having kits. Believe me, I know," she mewed, her voie edged with humor. "Each Clanmate must be looked after, and you will have to make some decisions you may or may not be unsure of. But don't worry. You have the senior warriors and whoever you choose to be deputy help you."

Palefoot seemed to be recovering from the shock. "Yes, I must do that soon too. Thank you. I wish I could have had kits... But now the whole Clan will be my kits. From elder's to kits, I will make them proud to have me as a leader. We must become strong once more. We will be known as the mighty and fierce warriors of RiverClan once more. Elders will tell tales of how we stalked the riverbanks, defending our Clan with our sleek, wet bodies gaurding the camp till dawn." Palefoot realized that she was rambling on and stopped.

Silvertip purred, letting her tail rest of Palefoot's shoulder. "RiverClan will be just as great, if not greater, with you as leader. You'll have a loyal Clan to be proud of." Now it was time for Silvertip to stop. A loyal Clan... how could she be such a hypocrite, when Silvertip herself was sharing a forbidden love with Hawkpaw, the WindClan apprentice? "It will be fine, I promise."

"I've always been afraid of you..." Winterleaf mumbled below her breath so only she could hear. She gave a curt nod and followed Silvertip to carry Leafstar's corpse to the center of the clearing.

"Don't be. She is a good warrior and could be the next deputy and perhaps someday a great leader..." Rosethorn said to Winterleaf. She gave her leader a goodbye lick on the cheek and joined the others who had said their goodbyes.
((Whoops! Fixyness..))

Ebonyashes looked at the corpse the cats were setting on the ground. "Who's that?" she meowed to Winterleaf.

"Leafstar" Winterleaf replied. "She died. She was Riverclan's leader" she explained. Lashing her tail side ways, she directed Palefoot. "Palefoot, since was the deputy, will become leader"
((Psst Pale! Winterleaf wasn't afraid of Leafstar, she was afraid of Silvertip! lol))

Darkpaw looked at Leafstar with sorrowful eyes. He never even spoken to his leader. He gazed at Palefoot, and nodded. Palefoot will be a great leader. He sighed then pressed his muzzle to Leafstar's flank, then thought his goodbyes. "Palefoot," He muttered as he walked toward her, loud enough for her to hear. "I can't believe Leafstar's dead!" He yowled. He ran outside the camp and into a bush near the entrance.

Palefoot understood his words and strong felt emotion. "I know, I know," she whispered under her breath. There were so many options for a possible deputy. She wished she could choose easily. StarClan knows.

Silvertip saw her future leader's discomfort. For what she couldn't tell, but being a loyal Clanmate, she needed to know that Palefoot had her support. "Don't worry about him. The Clan will be just fine if they know you're strong."
