Gathering (July 2007)

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Hawkclaw looked over at the loud Thunder Clanner. That cat interupted my conversation, Hawkclaw thought.

Dragonflower pricked up her ears as a noisy cat that she never met before yowled in to the air.

[Fernstar]

"What message?" Fernstar asked and beckoned with her tail for Bonefoot to join her and Rainstar on the tree branches.

[[Rain]]

"Well that answers half of your question, Fernstar." Rainstar noted. Only Riverclan. She thought to her self.

[-.NighTSighT.-]

The orange warrior turned his head as Thunderclan's deputy appeared, his bushy flaming tail twitched with impatience as he pointed mentally of Riverclan's tardy. Now who do they think they are..? He frowned. He watched Jadeeyes from the corner of his yellowish eyes. Jealous? Maybe, but the tom wouldn't admit it, so he dismissed his thoughts and concentrated on the gathering in general.

As she laid away from the rest of most cats, the young warrior couldn't help, but feel worried about the fact that Riverclan was not there yet. I hope they are alright... She meowed to Starclan, thinking about her kithood friend, but reminded herself that she was from a rival clan.

[Shiningstream]

Bonefoot dipped his head to Fernstar and Rainstar, accepting a temporary spot on the branches. "The message everyone knew of what that ThunderClan would not be joining this Gathering. But I've come as quickly as I can once Bramblestar gave me permission to lead ThunderClan. Other than that, where's RiverClan?"

[Pantherpaw]

Pantherpaw started as more cats suddenly joined the clearing. He sniffed deeply, and recognized the scents of Thunderclan. With their arrival, there was only one clan left. And that was Riverclan.

The thick-pelted white cat wandered through the crowd of cats, following his fellow Thunderclanners. His mismatched eyes, adorned by two black marks, examined the other cats in the clearing. No Riverclan. He thought, blinking.

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Hawkclaw scented the cool air and relized that the meating is almost complete.


While waiting in the cool dark shadows, Dragonflower wondered, I wonder why River Clan is not here yet.

[Raven]

A lithe almost Windclan like tom strode towards Fourtrees. Flanked by a stunning white she-cat. His amber eyes narrowed as he searched for Rosethorn. But he saw not even Palestar. The Shadowclan tom decided he'd mingle for a bit. Wait for her to come. He hadn't seen her for so long.

Icey eyes fluttered around the clearing. How she hated clan life. Though she acted happy as a beaver about it. Blackfrost searched the clearing for any cat really. She twined herself into a group of cats. Just sitting on the egde next to them. Blackfrost listened as they spoke. They wondered where Riverclan was? That clan was probably to afraid to join real warriors.

[~*hawkclaw*~]

Dragonflower lick a paw while she was impateintly waiting. Her tail twitched as she watched all the othe cats having fun. Who would want to talk to me, Dragonflower thought gloomily. She put her jet black head on her paws and heaved a great big sigh.

[[PuRe]]

Daylight watched boringly from a thick tree-root. She had just arrived and she was already bored. Why hadn't the gathering started? Where was Riverclan? Her ginger pelt ruffled, and her brown eyes looked from here to there. I don't see Lightningstorm... She thought sadly.

[{Jade]

Moondance waited patiently on a rock for the gathering to begin. It was probably going to start without Riverclan.

[[Rain]]

"I think we should just start with out them, Fernstar, Bonefoot." Turning her head to her fellow leader and deputy.

[Shiningstream]

"Fine with me," Bonefoot agreed. Looking around, he was just about to give a yowl to silence the clearing when he stopped himself. He wasn't a leader yet, so he had no right to give the commanding sign. "Who should begin?"

[[Rain]]

"Fernstar, would you like to begin?" asked the Windclan leader.

[{Snarky}]

Rabbitpaw laughed at her new friend's joke before turning to Hawkclaw and seeing that he was engrossed in conversation with another she-cat. She felt a pang of jealousy before she felt ridiculous and turned back to Pantherpaw.

"So, whats it like in ShadowClan?"

She asked the question lightly, making it clear he didn't have to respond if he didn't want to. She didn't know how she would respond if asked the question, but she just smiled pleasantly as her tail flicked in the air behind her.

Swiftcloud padded into the clearing with her clan. They wouldn't be late if Bramblestar was still head...but she shouldn't think these thoughts. Dismissing them with a flick of her head, she glanced around, seeing the mobs of cats chatting, some not, and dimly noting RiverClan's absence. She made up her mind and padded over to Dragonflower, sitting down and keeping a polite distance as she waited for the meeting to start. Not sure how to introduce herself, she simply meowed,

"Hello. I'm Swiftcloud of ThunderClan."

She waited patiently, hoping she had chosen to speak to a friendly cat and not a hostile one.[/center][/color][/size]
