Gathering;; July 20th

[CROOKY]

oocll Everyones allowed to come to the gathering but you cannot post until your leader posts so the first four posts should be me, Tanglestar, Wavestar, and Swiftstar. Shadowclan may post without Swiftstar as he is gone for the moment.

Crookedstar had called her clan to order a few moments ago and saw as they all silenced themselves and straightened up to look at their leader. The wind was blowing hard but there wasn't any clouds in the skys. As she felt the breeze ruffle her fur she sighed before flicking her tail. The sign that would send hundreds of cats down the hill.

As the cats descended she ran down to the front of them and then hitting the treeline, she bounded into the clearing and leapt up to the large branch that lead to where the leaders sat for the gathering. She didnt scent any other clans yet apparently they would be arriving shortly.

Firepaw bounced up and down after Crookedstar, this was her first gathering. She jumped, but fell and stumbled over her paws. "Ugh!" she mewed.

[Deleted]

NeedleHeart ran down, of course her brown eyes filled with hatred as usual. She stopped quite far away from the leader, her tail swishing back and forth. She was near the center of clearing, her ears pricked.

ooc: Wavesong has yet to get his 9 lives yet. Waiting for someone to announce that I can. He can still lead the gathering...

Wavesong looked at the other cats in his group, his eyes flickering from Moonsight, to Jaggedpelt, and then finally Patchedfoot. Finally he nodded slightly to himself and and flicked his tail before turning around and taking off down the hill. Leaping gracefully onto the branch he sat a few cat lengths away from Crookedstar. Nodding to her in greeting he tried to keep his blue eyes from showing his uncertainty.

Moonsight laughed gently before following Wavesong's cue and taking off down the hill. This would be a fun gathering. At least, he felt that Wavesong would make it fun...

Mosspelt glanced at Jaggedpelt, her eyes prortraying the worry she felt. She didn't want Wavesong hurt, and even though everything was supposed to be peaceful, maybe they wouldn't accept him as Windclan's new leader.

SpottedPaw felt glad that she was coming to the Gathering again. She raced down, her white fur being blow against her form, since of how fast she was running. Her tannish tail flung back, swishing side to side. She kept looking forward, her eyes gleaming with determination.

FoxFire followed down with ease, not even looking forward. She kept her gaze on WaveSong instead. She was curious on who he was going to chose deputy. She hoped it was her, but then again, she hoped it wasn't.

Swiftstar jogged into the clearing. He looked up and looked at the four towering trees. He ran up to one of the trees and jumped, clawing his way up to the second branch. He looked around and watched cats slowly come through the bracken into the clearing. He may look happier, but he knew that his mind was still a mass of confusion, pain, and madness.

Hawkpaw slowly came into the clearing after Swiftstar. He cautiously looked around, his heart beating faster. Why did Swiftstar pull me to here? That piece of foxdung! Hawkpaw silently cursed his leader. "The sooner this is over, the better." Hawkpaw said under his breath.

[Deleted]

Wavesong looked at the other leaders, in comparison, he felt small. But he knew he had the right to be here. Till Silentstar came back he had to lead his clan. "So we are waiting upon Tanglestar again?" He joked easily, this was a time of desperation, but the cats needed something.

[CROOKY]

Crookedstar nodded "I beleive last gathering we were waiting after Silentstar. Do we look apon Wavesong or Wavestar?" She asked politely blinking her eyes unemotionally and peering out of the group.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar walked in the fourtrees and jumped to the lowest branch. She looked at the cats around her then sat in silence.

[Deleted]

Wavesong nodded politely to Tanglestar before turning to back to Crookedstar. "I am still Wavesong. I am planinning on getting my nine lives tomorrow." Wavesong replied. He wished Silentstar was here for this.

[Deleted]

SpottedPaw saw an apprentice come in, which was HawkPaw. It was the first one she saw. She padded over to him, and purred softly.

"Hi!"

-

FoxFire just sat among the group, staring up at the leaders, her fur prickling with anxiety.

--

NeedleHeart paced back and forth, thinking to herself.

[Deleted]

Hawkpaw jumped when Spottedpaw came up. "Ah! Don't you snea-" Hawkpaw stopped when he saw the apprentice. "Er, Um, sorry?" Hawkpaw immediately felt his gut twist, his chest pound.

Swiftstar tried not to speak yet. He just wanted this to be over with.

Redfeather padded in, she waited for Hazelthorn near the entrance of the clearing. She quickly called out, "Come on Hazelthorn!" Then she shut her mouth. What are you doing mousebrain? You don't even know if he is coming! Idiot!

Rushtail padded into the clearing quickly. He ran up to Spottedpaw, who apparently had scared Hawkpaw lifeless, seeing the apprentice staring at his apprentice. "Am I late? Er, what I mean is, did you scare him? I mean, ugh..."

Hawkpaw finally came back to his senses. "NO! She didn't scare me! I just stepped on something sharp!" Hawkpaw didn't wan't to seem stupid.

Rushtail jumped back at the remark of the apprentice. What a rude little creature! I guess that is what you would expect from a Shadowclanner.

[Deleted]

SpottedPaw's ears twitched slightly, her gaze shifting towards her paws.

"Should I go? I see you guys are fidgeting.."

She was nervous, not sure if she should or not.

--

NeedleHeart still paced back and forth, thinking still.

[Deleted]

"Er, that might be best. I'll be leaving this rude creature." Rushtail said as he started turning around, then feeling a strong sting in his tail. "OW!" Rushtail turned around to see Hawkpaw biting him. Rushtail tried to keep his claws sheathed while he swatted Hawkpaw across the cheek, except, his claws were out a small bit. "Ow! Why did you do that? You mousebrained piece of foxdung formally known as a Windclanner!" Hawkpaw said with a snarl at the end. Rushtail had had it. He lept on top of Hawkpaw and bit the apprentice's ear. Hawkpaw fought back with a scratch down the side.

Swiftstar perked his ears up and turned to two cats fighting in the back. He recognized Hawkpaw. "HAWKPAW!"

[Deleted]

Firepaw padded to Spottedpaw. "Hi! I'm Firepaw! This is my first gathering!!!" she mewed, bouncing.

Goldenfur was at the back of the ThunderClan crowd when she came in. Her coat was dull and her were tired as well as dull and clouded. She was still grieving for Bluepaw whom had woken up yet.

---

Shadowpelt saw the two cats fighting and gasped "What in the name on StarClan?" and rushed over to drag off Hawkpaw. "What are you doing?"
