Chapter two everyone. Just as apology for the previous chapter of the Lunar Destiny (Chapter 19/20, depending on how you look at it) we'll give you double Cometpaw chapters today; chapter 1 and 2.

Cometpaw was just finishing up his mouse when Fallingstar began announcing the cats who were going to go to tonights gathering. The cats going were Fallingstar, Honeybear, Bleedingheart and Gingerpaw, obviously. The others were Frozensoul, Graniteheart, Blueflame, Lunarpaw and himself.

Knowing that he would be going to the gathering, despite having been just made an apprentice recently, it made the red tom excited.

The cats going began preparing for the journey.

His mentor Blueflame had come over and gave him a second mouse, just nudging it towards him and Cometpaw was smart enough to understand that she wanted him to make sure he ate enough to keep his strength up on the journey.

Out of the corner of his eye he could see his sister bragging about her badger kill the other day and how she had conquered death. Cometpaw called, and would forever call fox dung on that. There was just no way his sister would be able to single pawed-ly kill a badger without any training, it just wasn't possible!

Don't get him started on the 'dying and coming back' fox-dung. That too wasn't possible and until he saw his sister do that in front of his own eyes, he would continue to refuse to believe what the clan said. They all just had bees in their brains apparently.

He was roused out of his moment of thought as he realized it was time to go. Looking down so he could return the untouched mouse to the pile, he realized he had eaten it without noticing.

So deciding there was nothing really to do about it, Cometblaze hurried to the others and stood beside his mentors side as the rest of the cats going gathered up behind Fallingstar and Honeybear, waiting to leave for the Gathering.

But instead of leading them out, Fallingstar turned to the crowed and called out a name, "Lunarpaw," Fallingstar yelled out and his sister stepped forward, "Because you were able to kill a badger, why don't you lead us to the gathering tonight?" he asked

His sister jumped up with joy, "Yes!" she cried out.

The clan cheered for some unknown reason and Cometpaws jaw opened in disbelief, "You...you can't do that?" He mumbled and shook his head glaring at the ground, why was Lunarpaw getting such special treatment? It wasn't like she was anything special! she was a scatterbrained, arrogant mouse-brained apprentice.

Blueflame put the tip of her tail on his shoulder and gave him a sympathetic expression, showing that he understood what he was thinking.

"Let it go, Cometpaw," She whispered so only he could hear, "You're better than Lunarpaw, don't let what they say and do affect you."

He hesitantly nodded and continued to walk while staying at her side.

Soon they had reached the clearing with the gathering, the large rock in the middle already had the other three leaders atop of it. Nightclan dispersed to go talk to the other clans, Cometpaw took a step forward and find some apprentices to stopped when his sister bolted towards the group a wide smile.

Looking at his paws, Cometpaw stepped backwards and sat down next to Blueflame earning a curious look from her as she glanced at him and then the other apprentices. But she understood what was wrong; he was scared of going over there with his sister in the group.

With Lunarpaw in the group, most likely everyone would fawn over her and he would be forgotten like usual. Only a few clanmates seemed to ever really notice what he did; Blueflame, his mother Frostwing, and even Echopaw paid attention to him more so then she did for Lunarpaw. But that was only three out of the entire clan, it didn't do well for his self esteem to be honest.

His mind was drawn to the leaders as they started talking, first starting with Horsestar, Dayclans leader.

"My clan is doing well," Horsestar announced, pride was in his face, "Tawnyface gave birth a few days ago to Pantherkit, Dayclan is happy to accept the new kit into our clan," the DayClan leader said with a smile. Cats cheered in joy and mewled in approval of that.

Jupiterstar, SunClans leader stepped forward, deciding to speak up now too, "SunClan is doing well too," he announced and nodded to a muddy brown tom, "Our apprentice, Rockypaw is no longer an apprentice but a warrior, Rockyroad."

The new SunClan warrior ducked his head in embarrassment and again the clans cheered, chanting Rockyroads name a few times before quieting down.

"NightClan has done well and has two new apprentices also," Fallingstar said stepping up and nodding in pride towards Lunarpaw, "Lunarpaw, whom I've already taken the liberty of deciding will be a leader when she becomes a warrior, and Cometpaw."

Cometpaw looked down at his paws in embarrassment as the cats cheered his name, but couldn't help but feel a pang of annoyance and jealousy when Fallingstar announced his sister would become a Clan leader. But his jealousy was overshadowed by his anger, after all, they were really cheering for Lunarpaw not him. Only a few had called out his name.

The NightClan leader stepped back so Hotstar could give his clan news, "MoonClan has been being savaged by a lion for the past moon," he announced and gasps could be heard through the crowd, he lowered his head in disappointment, "We have been trying out best but currently we have not been able to drive the lion out of our territory."

Worried murmurs rippled through the group as he continued talking, moving on from the lion to better news.

Cometpaw stared at the ground, feeling his fur tingle with fear and excitement, a lion wasn't good. If it ran out of food it would start killing cats, if it hasn't already, and when it was done in MoonClan, it would go to other clans.

He felt horrible for what was going on in MoonClan right now, and he wanted to help them so badly. No one deserved to be terrorized by a lion, not even a rival clan.

"I know...I'll find a way to help them," he whispered under his breath.
