Gathering December 31st

[CROOKY]

Crookedstar led her cats down the hill towards fourtrees. She walked with confidence. No one was a threat to her why would she walk all meek like a leader that had to fear? She thought not. As she came out towards the bottom of the tree's she flicked her tail to signal her warriors to spread out in the clearing. "Listen for any weaknesses warriors." She had commanded her warriors before they left clan grounds for the Gathering.
---

Cheetahtail walked sleekily towards the clearing and when Crookedstar let them go she settled down by the edge where Windclan would enter. They had not heard anything from Windclan in a long time. She sighed from the chilly air before she heard the crackle of cats approaching.
---

Miragepaw followed Crookedstar close behind before going to sit near the Shadowclan entrance. She wanted to talk to the Shadowclan apprentices, she found they were less arrogant than the thunderclan cats. "Filthy mudbloods." she whispered to herself in a sort of curse.
---

Patchedfoot was following Foxstar towards the Gathering. She paused before entering waiting for her leader to let them go and assimulate into the crowd of Riverclan cats. No other clan had yet arrived is seemed. The air was stiff and she closed her eyes thinking to herself. wonder what is going on with Riverclan.
---

Murkpaw followed his mentor into the clearing but also sat and waited to be released by his leader. Thats the rules Murkpaw. He was constantly reminding hisself. what if you dont want to follow the rules eh? He thought snickering and shuffling his paws ready to spring into the clearing.
---

Hawkwhisper was bumbling along silently towards the gathering. Her breath was icy with the temperature of the forest but her heart was always ice. She was used to it by now. She was at the front of the clan only behind Spottedstar and the deputy. She had grown rather fond of Spottedstar in the passing days.
---

Whisperpaw was skirting around a little scared of the shadows, this was her first trip to the gathering sicne she had become an apprentice. She skirted from tree to tree not used to this territory. She followed her leader and waited for the gathering to start.

[Deleted]

Fireleaf followed Crookedstar from behind, her tail was swishing around excitedly, she would sit below the high rock as a deputy from now on, until she either died or took her place as leader.

---

Goldenfur was at the back, she stayed behind every cat-feeling rather lonely these days.

---

Bluewillow was in pace with her mother, trying to cheer her up.

---

Shadowpelt followed Spottedstar and Shadowfang, sighing, another gathering, another time she had to look in the face of her beloved sister and pretend to hate her.

---

Shadow wandered at the end of the group, but determined to look confident.

---

Clawtooth followed the ShadowClan group, in a growingly bad mood.

---

Birdflight came from the slopes after her clan.

---

Shadowpelt followed after Clawtooth.

---

Sweetfur was at the very back of the RiverClan group

[Deleted]

The air was stiff, the breeze was cold. She didn't like how it felt, it wasn't right. When the she-cat stared down at the RiverClan cats, every cat was tense, tension rising in each little glance. Something happened, something big.

Her eyes narrowed, wondering if it was even RiverClan, wondering if her senses were even right with the tension, but who knew.

She looked back, and nodded.

"Let's go."

She sighed, dashing down towards the clearing.

--

NeedleHeart was bristling, she didn't like having orders. Her mind was buzzing, hoping to see how RiddleHawk was doing. If he was doing poorly, she would still wait to kill him. If he was doing rather great, she would kill him soon.

Her claws unsheathed and churned up the dirt, as her tension rose.

Riddlehawk filed in behind his leader, having to work hard to keep a good steady pace with her. And not rip the hundreds of strands of cobwebs covering him. He had no doubt that Dappledfrost would make good on her threat and keep him secluded in the den an extra moon. He limped heavily by Tanglestar, sitting down. Yep, he would definitly get some very strange looks tonight. The Thunderclan deputy, a living cobweb, and missing an eye. Close by his side was Starpaw, the little apprentice that he had taken under his wing when he had to come live with the Thunderclan cats. Starpaw looked up the the warrior, his blue eyes filled with a bit of admiration and awe. How could any cat live through those kinds of injuries??? Starpaw didn't know, the little black tom shaking his pelt. His white flecks glowed a bit under the starlight.

--

Dappledleaf padded in behind Crookedstar, rather wary of her leader. What was she thinking? Shadowshine followed by Dappledleaf's side. The two she-cat had formed a strong bond. What was there to the two's relationship? Of course Dappledleaf had a mate, but what did that make Shadowshine?

--

Ashstorm followed along behind Foxstar, her black paws hitting the dirt softly and leaving tiny paw tracks. She was a dainty she-cat, with alot of muscle....

--

Mintsoul followed behind a couple other cats, the Shadowclan she-cat watching the others. Especially Runningpath. How would she react to her son being here???

[Deleted]

Spottedstar padded confidently into the clearing, her chin held high. Her amber eyes were narrowed to the gathering cats but never fell on them. Her white fur looked silver under the light of the full moon, and her ginger patches had faded grey. Her eyes darted to her most trusted warriors, Shadowfang and Hawkwhisper, wanting to know where they were if times of tension arose. And although she didn't turn her head to see, her mind turned to Shadow. A grimace crossed her face. Had it been right to bring her here when she didn't even know if she was a ShadowClan cat? Either way, her kits must be six moons old by now. They'll become Clan cats even if she won't. Looking around again, she noticed the other Clan begin to assemble, with Crookedstar as the only present leader so far. The old she-cat looked rather ruffled from where Spottedstar stood. I wonder what's gone on now? ShadowClan better not be held responsible again. The patched she-cat pounced up on top of the leader's rock, and waited.
---
Dappledfrost walked warily into the Gathering. Her blue eyes were constantly flashing over to Riddlehawk, who had come to the Gathering against her desires. Strong as he may be, the deputy should have had more care about his health. Mousefur's kits would come eventually, and if kept up his brash actions they wouldn't have a strong powerful father but a tired old elder. And I swear, if he messes up those cobwebs I'm going to make him an elder sooner than he can say 'mouse'.
---
Sunflash came at Tanglestar's side, casting hostile glances as he passed RiverClan warriors. Like the rest of the Clan, he had heard Riddlehawk's speech of how he messed things up with RiverClan. He shouldn't have killed that warrior. He should have known what it would cause. Now we'll have them to watch out for.
---
Cedarclaw came in with the rest of WindClan, going along near the front. She shot the occasional glare at Sootclaw, not forgiving him for his earlier remark. She would glare at the other Clans, allowing her claws to slip out and shine in the moonlight to prove her strength. But then she would glance at Foxstar, and remember the terrible secret that only they knew.
---
Badgerpaw followed in behind Cedarclaw, a bouncing in his step. He smiled back at Moonpaw and felt his belly flutter, completely ignorant of the tension rising among the other Clans.

[Deleted]

FoxStar's eyes stared forward, even though she hoped her paws wouldn't slip, or she just crashed into a tree and/or bush. She strained her ears, trying to listen, but it barely worked.

When she got to the Leader's Rock, she had difficulty getting up, which made RunningPath give her a nudge.

She gave a slight nod to RunningPath, knowing she didn't have to, since she wasn't even in her clan.

RunningPath gave a weak smile, and padded off to a lonely spot.

SootClaw slowly came down, but kept pace to where he could still glance at CedarClaw. No matter how much they argue, he was attracted. Then again, he was attracted to any she-cat with a temper.

Riddlehawk cast a wary glance at Crookedstar and then to Dappledfrost. He had no doubt in his mind that she would harass him and bully him so much even the Riverclan cats would be scared should he mess up those cobwebs. Little Starpaw was by his side like glue. Riddlehawk was the only one he really trusted in Thunderclan. Somehow the big tom had a comforting effect on the anxious little apprentice. That's when he saw his mother. He pinned back his ears, watching her. He was happy to see her, yes, more like overjoyed. But he was also sad. Atleast he could go back soon enough.

--

Shadowshine sashayed past the toms in the clans, a devilish flirt she was. Her mother swore it would be the death of her. She kept a hard, stoney eye on her leader though. Old age had made Crookedstar crooked not only in name but in her mind as well.....

[Deleted]

RunningPath already knew of StarPaw's arrival, but she didn't want to look at him. She wouldn't be able to take it.

When she did go to the lonely spot, she passed him, not looking at him, not even noticing. So it looked like, the only thing that showed she noticed, was her pelt brushing against his, but bristling, in a friendly way.

[Deleted]

Starpaw purred lightly when she brushed up against him. Riddlehawk smiled at the Shadowclan she-cat. A gentle and reassuring one. He hoped she knew the thought behind it. I'm taking care of your son. Don't worry. He's in good paws. He licked the top of Starpaw's head, between his ears. Don't worry little one. You'll get your warrior name soon enough. Riddlehawk told the apprentice. Starpaw nodded. I know.

Moonsight glanced around the clearing frowning. Pausing he glanced over towards Mosspelt, “Remind you of something?”

Mosspelt nodded slightly before padding back to stand farther back in the crowd. This wasn’t going to go over well.

Moonsight padded up to Patchedfoot. “What’s been going on with the clans? They weren’t this bad when we left. I thought.”

Crookedstar nodded to Foxstar. She kept her voice level. "Greetings Foxstar, I hope the prey runs well with Windclan." She spoke the age-old words with only a lack of feeling a sociopath could.
---

Patchedfoot looked at Moonsight. " Something must have happened between Riverclan and Thunderclan. See how tense the cats are? Its like they expect Crookedstar to fall over dead any second now." She commented nodding up at the cats all watching Crookedstar expectantly.
---

Cheetahtail walked lithely over to Mosspelt. "Greetings Mosspelt. How are you?" She asked amiably.
---

Miragepaw heard the two Windclan cats talking about Crookedstar keeling over and she couldnt help but to snort to herself. "If only we were so lucky." She said to herself.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk looked up and at Patchedfoot. He heaved himself up, padding over to her. Hello, Patchedfoot. Everythings well in Windclan I expect? He asked, the cobwebbed tom looking at her and her companions. His one ear was constantly turned to Crookedstar, though. She'd lost it a bit and who knew if she'd attack during a clan meet? Would she really go against it all and turn this peaceful gathering into a bloodbath??

Featherwish padded into the clearing quietly, with a little bounce in her step. She loved gatherings, it was a time where all clans came together in peace. Her light blue eyes scanned the clearing for somebody to talk to, and in the end, the Windclan she-cat decided to sit down. maybe somebody would come talk to her. So Featherwish sat down, and wrapped her tail around her small paws. Her creamy gray pelt shined brilliantly in the moonlight, it looked nice, but a bit spooky at the same time.

[Deleted]

Ashstorm padded through the clearing, the young Windclan she-cat looking everyone over. Her pelt was ash gray, and her paws were black. Soft blue eyes watched the rest of the cats and she padded over by Featherwish. Hello there Featherwish. She said, sitting down and looking at her with a smile.

[/center]

[Deleted]

Featherwish smiled as Ashstorm came over, and mewed, "Hey Ashstorm. Not mingling with the other cats?". The she-cat laughed, and glanced out at all the cats. A white apprentice rushed by, and Featherwish rolled her eyes. These gathreings were sometimes madness, it was just like an excuse for the apprentices to fool around. And some of the newer warriors too. "Do you know when the gathering is going to start?" Featherwish asked. She loved hearing the news of the other clans.
