Gathering

[CROOKY]

oocll any cat can post at this gathering. Plot Twister: Is Lurkclan going to make an appearance at the gathering?

Crookedheart led her cats down the slope towards fourtrees. The tears that had clung to her face now gone and she attempted to lead boldly so that no cat could see that the tragedy that had happened that night had shaken her soo much.

Swiftstar limped to the Fourtrees. He still hurt from the attack but he didn't want to miss the gathering. As he and his clan entered the holllow, he could smell Riverclan making their way. He looked at the towering trees. He leaped up onto the middle branch of one and waited for the others.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar leaped up on the branch with Swiftstar. "Are you alright?", She asked. She couldn't help but to lick his cheek. She felt bad for not being able to help Shadowclan against the rogues. She now feared for her own clan.

"Yes, I'm fine, just a little shaky." Swiftstar knew it was more than that, luckily he was facing his side scar away from her. He looked at all of his cats. He noticed the scars and cuts on them as well.

[CROOKY]

Crookedheart meowed a greeting to the cats. "Hello Tanglestar, Swiftstar"She looked around noticing how sullen the cats were tonight. No cat seemed happy at this gathering. This wasn't happy times it seemed.

[Deleted]

Swiftstar nodded, "Shall I start off this gathering?" Swiftstar noticed he was talking to Crookedheart and not Duskstar, but he knew that Duskstar had been sick lately.

[poppyseeds]

Streamfur had entered the clearing just moments before, and saw the leaders gathered on the branch they always gathered on. She looked up at Crookedheart, tears stinging her eyes. You have to be strong, she thought. Duskstar was dead, and Crookedheart was to become Crookedstar. She fought back the tears and thought of something happier. Maybe she was to become deputy. She looked at Crookedheart again, still frowning.

[CROOKY]

Crookedheart met eyes with Streamfur and blinked twice as if to encourage the she-cat to be strong--to be brave. These were dark times for her clan. She heard Swiftstar talk and turned to him. "Not quite yet, there is still one clan yet to arrive for the gathering." She said politely. She didnt blame the leader for wanting to get the gathering good and over with.

Mountainclaw followed Crookedheart, or Crookedstar into the gathering area. He sat down and waited for more of his clan mates to come around. Maybe he would be deputy, it would be his last chance for a while, he has had an apprentice so maybe he could. he thought.

[poppyseeds]

Streamfur looked around, and noticed Mountainclaw. She walked over, the tears still in her eyes. "Hello, Mountainclaw," she meowed, her voice shaking. She noticed Crookedheart trying to get her to be brave. She smiled at Crookedheart, but tears were still in her eyes.

Padded down under the four trees. Always didn't like going right to the front, drawing attention. Solospot looked over all the cats, noticing ShadowClan was pretty beaten up.

His ears twitched backwards. It wasn't a good sign following the prophecy.

[eclipsewing]

OOC: yes they are.

IC: Fallenstar ordered the few cats with him to stay in the shadows. He at first only ordered Grungepelt to step out of the shadows with him. He would summon the rest after the other cats noted his appearance. Falenstar went up to where the fourtrees were, and spoke, "Is there a tree for me to sit on?"

He kept his clear blue eyes ahead of him. Was not ashamed of his change of loyalties. It wouldn't've been the first time. However, he felt he couldn't yet catch the eyes of the ThunderClan cats. His greatest fear being catching her eyes.

Buried all his emotions as he obediently followed Fallenstar, his face holding a hard expression.

Wavesong tilted his head, watching the last cat arrive. Glancing at Moonsight and Mosspelt who sat before him he saw the same question reflected in their eyes. They were already sitting in the front, toward the side nearest where the Windclaners came from, and they couldn't get closer in case of a fight...

[CROOKY]

Crookedstar looked at the cat asking for a tree to sit. She wanted to turn him away but was it her place? She wasnt even yet leader. "Has something happened to Silentstar? Where is Wavesong?" She meowed down to the cat assuming that he was from Windclan.

Patchedfoot had just entered the gathering looking around for any cats to mingle with. She noticed with a prickle of unease how battered the shadowclan cats looked, and the riverclan cats looked almost as ghosts. She found streamfur in the crown of cats and walked over to her. "Greetings Streamfur, How does the prey run with Riverclan? Or should I say swim?" She added for a little humor trying to lighten the mood even if only a bit.

Whispertail padded into the clearing watching his leader. There was a rustle outside the clearing and then Fallenlight stepped out from the tree's--besides him another cat from the attack. He recognized the tom he had been double teamed with. "Fallenlight how dare you show your pelt here, Lay one claw on any cat here and I'll filet you myself." He snarled through the clearing knowing that the cat had heard him.

Hazelthorn pressed his way throught he trees and walked over to where the deputies were sitting for he was well aquianted with all of them. He noticed that crookedheart was sitting up at four trees while there was no riverclan deputy below. thunderclan deputy was also missing. "Greetings Wavesong and Spottedfire" He said nodding curtly to each cat.
