Gathering August 13 (Open to all clan cats)

[Deleted]

A tom's voice pulled Spottedfire back into the clearing. Her head snapped wildly towards the source of the mew, only to find a ThunderClan cat. She had to repeat the question in her head before realizing what he had asked, still being a little out of it herself. But once she did, her fur began to bristle, and her lips pulled back into a snarl. "ShadowClan cats do not scare- especially Swiftstar. He's a great leader, not some stray kittypet lost in the forest! He just has a lot to think about right now, with LurkClan and all, like all the other leaders!" Her snarl was fierce, but every lying word was like a heavy stone falling in her belly. But she couldn't let the other Clans catch on to what had happened to Swiftstar. Loyalty to your leader, always. That's what the code says. All the same, the ginger-white deputy regretted having spoke so sharply to the tom, who had just been curious. Doesn't matter. He's just a ThunderClan cat.
---
The sounds of snarling made their way to Dappledfrost's ears. Worry clawing at her like claws of ice, the medicine cat whirled around to see the ShadowClan deputy hissing at Talonclaw. Not now! This is a Gathering! The deputy wouldn't start a fight here, would she? But as she thought with dread, something she could see in the she-cat's eyes betrayed the hostile appearance. Dappledfrost had only been able to pick up the name Swiftstar, so was it over the ShadowClan leader? She turned her head up towards where Swiftstar was, and noticed a dull look in his eyes. The tom seemed stressed and jumpy. Was LurkClan responsible?
---
Cedarclaw reared up on her hind legs, scanning the clearing in search of the commotion. Over the heads of her Clanmates, she could just barely see a ThunderClan tom and the ShadowClan deputy. The deputy seemed to be about to fling herself at the tom. "This is interesting... But what's going on?" The WindClan warrior began to push herself through the swarm of cats, trying to get a better look.

Talonclaw took a step back, his claws unsheathing. "Chill. I just was asking, no offense. But just to say, he does look jumpy. Maybe it wasn't Lurkclan, because I don't see any cuts." Talonclaw said quickly.

[Deleted]

Spottedfire's eyes narrowed, then she hissed and turned her head away. She took a deep, calming breath, and then turned back to the tom. "Look. Sorry for snapping, but ShadowClan's business isn't your business. Keep your eyes on your own Clan before intruding on ours." Her mew was tired, as were her eyes. Everything's so difficult. Life was so much simpler before LurkClan came.
---
Cedarclaw hissed in disapointmend. She had just made it to the front of the crowd, and had been hoping for the deputy to attack. "Does anything interesting happen anymore?"

[Deleted]

CowSpot dashed into the clearing, and leapt on the rock(Or was it tree? either way). He stared down, looking for DappledFrost. He spotted her, and leapt off, running in her direction. He was having deep breaths when he arrived to where she was at.

"R-RedFeather's kits!"

That was all he could say through his deep breaths.

[Deleted]

Talonlclaw nodded. "Sorry too, just wondered if he got hurt or something, nothing else." He heard faint meowing, but he guessed it was just some loud talking so he turned around and looked at Tanglestar.

[Deleted]

Wavestar's gaze landed on Cowspot, he seemed more worried than the tom had at other gatherings. He barely caught the next words, but he could only add up that someone needed help. Glancing around camp his eyes landed on Whitetiger. He didn't know if they'd accept the help but the silent exchange told their medicine cat to help if need be.


-------------------------------

Twilightwing twisted around, padding up to Cowspot. "Where's Dappledfrost?"

[Deleted]

Dappledfrost's eyes flashed in alarm at the mention of the pregnant queen. "Great StarClan! Take me to her," she mewed, urgency in her mew. She turned her head to Whitetiger. "If you're leader can spare you, I could use the help," she mewed quickly, then began to race back toward ThunderClan territory, hoping both Cowspots and Whitetiger were following. Thoughts raced through her mind. She would need herbs, no doubt, but they weren't the most important thing right now. She turned over her shoulder to call out to the warrior. "Go to Redfeather. I'll get the herbs and follow your scent to her." With that she continued her run toward camp.
---
Spotted fire's ears pricked, and she turned towards the newfound rise of excitement. She recognized ThunderClan scent coming from a black and white warrior, stuttering anxiously to Dappledfrost. Judging from the look in the medicine cat's eyes, something bad must have occurred. Her pelt prickled as they fled the clearing, heading back towards their own territories.

[Deleted]

Ashpaw padded into the clearing behind Wavesong, her pale green eyes looking around cautiously. She sighed, sitting down and beginning to watch the procceddings.

--

The big brown tom padded into the clearing, sitting down. His scarred paw was off the ground slightly. He watched what was going on, a bit cautious.

[Deleted]

CowSpot watched her take off. He looked at TwilightWing, and looked at DappledFrost. He dashed after DappledFrost and merely nodded.

"Y-Yes!"

He turned, going back to ThunderClan's camp.

[Deleted]

Swiftstar looked up a little to see tail just disappearing from the clearing, and fast. He tilted his head and shrugged it off. "That is some other cat's problem right now." Swiftstar said quietly to himself.

[Deleted]

Briarpelt watched the cat's disappearing, feeling remorse for them. He hoped no one wad dangerously hurt. Pushing the thought to the back of his mind he looked around for a cute she-cat. His eyes finally rested on Cedarclaw. Padding forward he stopped near the other cat and smiled. "Hello."

[Deleted]

ooc: Sorry about this, but Cedarclaw hates toms with a passion. X)

bic: Cedarclaw's attention was caught by an unfamiliar mew. The tortoiseshell's head turned away from where the ShadowClan deputy remained, and came face-to-face with the reek of yet another ShadowClan cat. And a tom, at that. She glared at him, her yellow eyes cold. "What do you want?" she hissed. "Does ShadowClan have anything better to do than to start trouble with other Clans?" Her eyes flicked over to Spottedfire, an then focused back on the brown tabby.

[Tanglekit]

Leafheaart saw Briarpelt talking to another she-cat. She would make him jealous. She walked over to Cowspot and sat down. "Hi there", she said as she took a quick look at the Thunderclan tom.

[CROOKY]

Crookedstar led her group towards the massive group of cats. If the twolegs hadn't interfered with her clan they would have arrived on time. She looked around at the group of cats she had chosen to come along with her. The moonlight was shining brilliantly through giving her perfect eyesight. She flicked her tail and then leapt down the embankment to the island.

---

Hawkwhisper sauntered into the crowd and looked around for any cats she may know. She didn't see any at the moment.

[Deleted]

Briarpelt blinked for a moment, his face blank. Finally he gained some kind of composure, and his features were covered with some unidentifiable emotion. "Not all Shadowclanners are bad..." It took him a moment to realize he wasn't standing up for himself, but for a different cat. Stealing a quick glance his eyes rested on Hawkwhisper and then to Leafheart. Something flashed in the toms eyes before it was turned to emotionless stone.
