The First Gathering (November 10th)

[Whitestar]

Whitestar bounded into the clearing with the cats she had chosen to come with her. She only had two of them, Spottedpelt and Strongheart. She jumped onto the rock and waited for the other leaders and ther chosen cats to come.

[hawkpaw]

Firestar raced through the braken and saw a familiar face, Whitestar with two other cats.She took the lead and now met Whitestar. "Hello Whitestar, how are you?" Firestar sat next to Whitestar and the other cats met each other.

[Whitestar]

Hello, Firestar. Whitestar said to the she-cat. She slightly lowered and raised her head to show some respect to the other leader. She looked around for the other cats but saw nothing.

[swiftpath]

Thornstar and his warriors bounded over from Riverclan territory. Good Evening Whitestar, Firestar. He siad giving them respectfull nods. Are we waiting for Oakstar? With those words, he released his warriors, Iceheart, Riverwind, and Blacktail to go out and talk with the other warriors there.

[swiftpath]

Ravenwhisker could hardly suspress her excitement. she had been to gatherings many times before, but thigs were different now, she was deputy of Windclan!!!! She walked up to Riverwind and Strongheart, the other two deputies that were here. Hello! the young she-cat said to them.

[Whitestar]

When Blacktail got to the gathering, she stalked over to a corner all by herself. She just sat there and watched the other cats, waiting for someone to notice her.

[swiftpath]

Now, Ravenwhisker is a very kind, adn gentle cat. Noticing Blacktail sitting off by herself in the corner, she said goodbye to the other 2 deputies who she had just greeted and walked up to Blacktail. what's wrong? Why are you sitting here all by your lonesome?

[Whitestar]

Oh, nothing's wrong. Im just.....bored. She said as she quickly thought of a word to put at the end of her sentence. She gave a small smile to Ravenwhisker to try and show that she wasn't sad. She hoped it hid that she was actually sad.

[swiftpath]

ok.... The doubt showed in Ravenwhiskers voice as she walked back towards the other deputies once more. Something about that she-cat named Blacktail just tugged at the heartstrings of Ravenwhisker, she knew that something WAS the matter. She just couldn't put na paw on it.

Oakstar ran into the clearing Sandpelt behind him and soon Skypaw next, they hurried into the clearing and he went to greet the other leaders "Well hello Firestar, Whitestar, and Thornstar.How are you and have you chosen your deputies, I haven't because I don't want Sandpelt to become deputy cause soon she will have to move into the nursery." He glared at Thornstar but gave respect to him as if he was his leader, he looked around and soon nodded at Thornstar, Whitestar and Firestar. A familiar yowl came from the leaders and soon the gathering started.

[hawkpaw]

Firestar nodded and Thunderclan would be the first to speak.She waited quietly and began thinking of what to say.

[Deleted]

A dark dusty brown shape stood at the top of the hill.The strange she cat looked down at the gathering waiting to be able to make a move.The she cat crouched into a stalking postion and started moving closer to get a better shot at her enemy down at the clearing.She looked until she found a perfect spot to attack, the brown she cat crawled to the spot she was at the end of the clearing under a bramble bush.She listened to the voices of the white she cat and stared at one of them on the rock, the toms pelt was almost black but was a dark brown then the cat thought, "this must be Thornstar!"

[catz]

Spottedpelt felt a quiver go down her spine she smelled something in the air, a she cat near here, it was not a smell she ever smelled before, she started to shake looking around the clearing nothing was there, but a pare of light amber eyes in the bushes looking straight at one of the leaders.She whispered into Srongehearts ear "There is a pare of light amber eyes in the bushes and the pair of eyes are looking straight at the leaders.You must tell Whitestar, now!" Stronge heart didn't want to interrupt, but he had to do something, like a sign to Whitestar that there is something to say but what?

[Deleted]

Iceheart looked around for Blacktail, and saw her at a corner of the clearing, he ran to her. "It's time for the meeting, come on!" He walked slowly toward the leaders so they can begin the meeting.

[Whitestar]

Whitestar nodded to the other leaders and began her speech, ThunderClan is doing well, besides our lack of warriors. I have chosen a deputy, Strongheart. She said as she looked down at him. He is new to the clan but I think he will do very well. We have had a she-cat come and drop a kit off to us. We do not know why, but Spottedpelt will bear kits soon and be able to feed Swiftkit. Also, we will have a medicine cat soon after Spottedpelt has her kits, as she will be the medicine cat. As I said before, our clan is doing well and I hope it does forever. Whitestar finished.

Blacktail heard Iceheart's voice and stepped up to be next to him. She followed him to the large stone and sat down close to him, she didn't trust many cats but he was one she trusted.

Sandpelt smiled at the thought of being in the nursery with Oakstar's kits. She just couldn't wait. She looked around the clearing and saw that there weren't many cats there. All she saw was Spottedpelt, Strongheart, Iceheart, Blacktail, Riverwind, Rainwhisker, Skypaw, and all the leaders. But wait...Did she see something in the distance...a figure looking at them? Just then, a she-cat's smell drifted into her nose. She hissed, jumped up, took one look at Oakstar, and ran into the bushes, towards the cat.
