Rosebriar stood in the clearing, dappled by moonlight, and waited, anxiously, for Pondstar to call the name of the new deputy. She wasn't sure why she was anxious, she was the obvious pick. She was the strongest, quickest, and his daughter, for meowling out loud. She hopped from foot to foot, waiting for Pondstar to emerge from his den. "I wonder who he will pick," Rosebriar heard her sister Reedsong say to her. Like there was nothing to wonder about. At that moment Rosebriar decided that someday when she was clan leader, she would make her sister deputy, that would be the right thing to do. Pondstar emerged from his den and looked out at the clan. "Today I will pick a cat to be the deputy of LotusClan until my final life is ended. This cat is strong and talented, and she is completely worthy of this role." Rosebriar wanted him to hurry up. This was taking too long. She was going to mess up. "So now, it is of my utmost pleasure to announce our new deputy," He paused, "Reedsong!" The clan started yowling for Reedsong. Rosebriar was too stunned to move. Her sister, less talented, less helpful, always the favorite. Completely unfair. Rosebriar felt shock and anger bubbling up inside of her. She discreetly turned and slipped out of the camp, deciding that she would someday prove that her sister was the worst choice they could have made. End of prologue
