Happy new year everyone!! I'm a bit late but still :)
I've been working on this for a bit and I love the outcome.
The story:
After Thistlefang is appointed deputy, the former deputy Needlewhisker is very angry. Neither Wolfhowl nor Thistlefang ever explain to him why he was replaced. But Needle keeps on asking for an explanation. The only answer he ever gets is that "because Starclan said so" but Needle isn't satisfied with that answer and keeps on prying.
One day Needlewhisker has had enough and he organizes an attack on his own clan (mostly on Thistle) to force Thistle to step down and let Needle become the deputy again. Needle finds allies from the other two clans and they attack. The battle is very bloody and many cats die. After looking around for a while, Needle finds Thistle in the midst of battle and attacks him. Thistle tries to get Needle to call off the attack but he doesn't budge.
After Thistle has his neck almost slashed open by Needle he too gets angry and starts yelling at Needle that nothing is going to change and that he (Thistle) will still remain as the deputy. And Wolfhowl just kind of looks at them arguing.
But Needle doesn't want to accept Thistle as the deputy and attacks him once more and pins him down. Needle gives Thistle one more chance to step down as deputy or give him a reasonable explanation as to why he was appointed as the deputy in the first place (because everyone knows that the Starclan thing was just an excuse). Every other cat stops fighting and gathers around them.
Thistle still tries with the Starclan excuse but that doesn't work and so he helplessly looks at Wolfhowl to finally tell the truth and save him but instead Wolfhowl turns his back on him and walks away.
Oh don't worry Thistle doesn't die :)
(Alsooo The reason why Thistle was made deputy is because he is the bio son of Wolf and in my little cat world the rule is that the current leader's firstborn is to be the next leader/deputy. But the thing is that noone knows that Wolf has kids and Wolf doesn't want to admit it either)
Ooh sorry this story is a bit long. I hope it's understandable. I'm very tired :)
