Gathering March 9th

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar walked into the clearing her fur shining bright in the moon. She jumped onto the branches of the high oaks just wanting to be snuggled up at camp with Sunflash. She sat waiting for the other clans to pour in. She had already given specific orders for her clan to avoid Shadowclan for the sake of peace and safety.

Shadowfang walked into the clearing behind Spottedstar, Clawpaw had come along to for the purpose of possibly learning a few things from the medicine cats that came and Shadowfang would stay with him to make sure nothing happened.

[Deleted]

Firestar padded in, walking towards Tanglestar. "Hello Tanglestar, May we talk before the gathering? I wish to speak with you." she mewed politely.

Moonspirit was there even before her leader, keeping her eye out for Dappledleaf and Rainwing. She looked around for them.

Goldenfur padded in, taking her seat towards the back of the clearing.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar nodded not sure what to think. Although this was probably about Rainwing.

Never Bow

Spottedstar padded into camp with her chin held high, avoiding the urge to look and glare toward the ThunderClan cats. She wasn't going to give them the satisfaction. Instead, the ginger and white she-cat kept her eyes trained on what was in front of her. For a moment she glanced to Clawpaw, almost smiling. No matter what ThunderClan did or said, he would be trained. When she reached the leader's rock, the ShadowClan leader leapt up swiftly, taking her place as she waited for the rest of the Clans to arrive.

Our Time Is Nearing

Brokenpaw came up along with the rest of his Clan, amber eyes shinning in excitement. This would be his first Gathering, and already he could hardly believe the number of cats that were there. He wrinkled his nose at their different scents, but even that didn't dampen his spirits. He glanced through the mass of cats to where his brother, Clawpaw, was. The tortoiseshell still didn't understand his obsession with being a medicine cat rather that a warrior, but he wasn't bothered by it. His brother would be a high-ranked cat!

Finding Balance

Dappledfrost came in feeling weary. She had heard of what happened between her Clan and ShadowClan, and could practically feel the tension in the air. No doubt the leaders would bring it up. Trying to not think about that for the moment, she focused on Clawpaw a little ways off with his own Clan. She wanted to make her way over and say hello, but Tanglestar had forbidden interaction between the Clans. How am I supposed to help him, then?
~~~
Path Of Revenge

Sunflash padded along near Tanglestar, his dark eyes never leaving the ShadowClan cats. They would pay for Stareyes' death, one way or another. The tom knew that if Dirtfur had the stupidity to show up that night, he would have to work hard to restrain himself from leaping at the murderer. That cat had taken a life from ThunderClan twice too many times.
~~~
Standing On The Outside

Cedarclaw padded in with the rest of WindClan. The tortoiseshell warrior had yet to notice the tension exchanged between the two other Clans, and so wasn't bothered. Her mind was on the thoughts of her apprentice back in the medicine cat's den. She was recovering slowly, but if she was ever able to come back to full strength, Cedarclaw still had so much training to do. I didn't pay enough attention to her. Maybe if I had, this wouldn't have happened.
~~~
Looking In On Hate

Badgerpaw came in not far behind Cedarclaw, but unlike her, he noticed the glares going between ThunderClan and ShadowClan. I wonder what's happened now? ShadowClan has never been friendly, but they seem more agitated than usual.

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk followed Tanglestar in, the big tom scanning everyone with a dangerous glare. So usually carefree and calm, he had a bit of tension showing right now. And it was a bit scary. He sat at his appointed place, flicking his tail calmly. Perhaps he would get the chance to speak with the other deputies while here. Then again......maybe not if the clan meeting took a turn for the worse with tensions so high between the clans.

--

Stargaze padded in behind the other Shadowclan cats, his odd colored eyes scanning the other cats. The little black tom with the white flecked pelt sat back away from the other cats. He was a fully grown cat but he was still very small. He flicked his tail, looking at the other cats in the clearing.

--

Ashstorm padded in, sitting down. The flirty little she-cat dashed over to her brother, batting at his ears playfully. "Hullo, Stargaze." she said, purring happily. She would stay right here throughout the entire gathering.

The WindClan leader hesitated at first, her mind whirling. She knew she had to tell the other leaders about her nine lives, and everything else.

All she managed to see down the slope is blurs, and she could barely detect anything.

She signalled to her warriors, and then flew down, her ears pricked up.

[Tanglekit]

Tanglestar's eyes burrowed in confusion. Did Fireleaf want to speak or not. If not then it was time to start the gathering. "Gather all cats", she sighed not sure if she would be able to hold all of her emotions in balance. "Thunderclan has been well for the most part. Rainwing has departed to become medicine cat to Riverclan leaving Dappledfrost as our sole medicine cat. Also Stareyes, Moonshine has died.", she winced clenching her teeth. She did not have any reason to tell all of the clans about the DIRT hiding in Shadowclan's camp. When she had finished she took a step back for the other leaders to speak.

[Deleted]

FoxStar sat on the Great Rock, staring at all the cats. They were all blurs to her, not even TangleStar's scent was familar to her now. She couldn't even detect it.

She released a sigh, and took a step forward. She decided that she should speak next.

"Fellow cats, I stand up here to tell you something. Tragic news. I, FoxStar, have not gained my nine lives. StarClan has not accepted me."

She knew there would be gasps, and murmurs. She waited, until it was calm once more.

"Our prey has been okay for the most part, and SparklePaw has died."

But.. What from?

She shook her head, not wanting to tell them that she did not know what it was from, nor wanting to say that her senses were going downhill.

[Deleted]

Rainwing sat in the middle of the gathering of cats, head down. He felt so...out of place. He knew he would not be here unless it was understood for medicine cats to come to the Gathering. He was uncomfortable with the Riverclan cats and by some of their judgemental looks, he could tell they didn't trust that he only meant to help them. He felt like an outsider, his fur still containing his Thunderclan scent yet now mixed with Riverclan. His ears were down and he didn't look up as Tanglestar mentioned him because he could feel her angry and disappointed gaze on him and it made his fur tingle. Why did Starclan do this to him? Why couldn't Tanglestar understand?

[Deleted]

A yellow colored she-cat padded up to Rainwing, sitting down next to him. Her single white paw was close to his paw, but not moving any closer. She flicked her ear slightly, not sure what to say. Of course, the tom now was in her clan, but not fully, just in the way of covering over MiracleFur. What happened to her anyways?

"Hello again, Rainwing."

She whispered, but then at FoxStar's news, she couldn't help but gasp.

"FoxStar, not accepted? That's...."

[/center]

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk's eyes....er....eye widened when he heard of Foxstar's unacceptance. WHAT? Was that even possible? he hadn't thought so but you could never really know with Starclan.

[/center]

[Deleted]

The fur-less elder settled beside Riddlehawk, and nudged his shoulder.

"Weird, aint it?"

He muttered, staring up at the leader.

"I knew she didn't seem like her self."

He coughed a bit, not a real cough, a fake one. He looked back up at the leader, his eyes sparkling with curiousity.

[/center]

[Deleted]

Riddlehawk nodded to Kestralspot. "Wierd, indeed." he murmered back, flicking his tail. He was curious as to how she had managed to live this long without Starclan....or her own clan for that matter......killing her.

[Deleted]

"Although, I can tell that ShadowClan might go on a raid to WindClan, and try to get territory. At least, one of the clans might. A clan without a proper leader is like no clan at all."

He murmured. He seemed like he got out of his habit with his accent, which was quite odd.
