The Gathering
"Graystripe, Dustpelt, Sandstorm, Birchfall, Spiderleg, Berrynose, Hazeltail, Lionblaze, Icecloud, Rosepetal, Dovewing, Bumblestripe, Hollypaw, Rosepaw and Firepaw." Bramblestar called out the names of the cats going to the gathering. Even though she knew she was going Hollypaw still felt her heart lift when she heard her name called. "It feels great doesnt it." stated Firepaw, Hollypaw and Rosepaw nodded in agreement.

Bramblestar ran out of camp with the line of warriors following him. The apprentices were somewhere in the middle. They ran until they were in windclan territory. Hollypaw saw some small warriors making their way towards them. "greetings Bramblestar." said the windclan leader Onestar. "Greetings" replied Bramblestar. Thunderclan crossed the fallen tree first, while Hollypaw was crossing it wobbled and she almost fell off. Birchfall caught her and she thanked him gratefully, in her mind she was thanking starclan for not making her first gathering an embarrasing one.

When she jumped onto the island she was greeted by her 2 littermates and they explored together, keeping clear of the other clans. When they heard Bramblestars voice calling that he would speak first they went silent and listened carefully, waiting for their names. "...and finally we have 3 new apprentices, Hollypaw, Rosepaw and Firepaw." All the clans called their new names and Hollypaw was filled with pride.

The windclan and riverclan reports went fine, no new apprentices or warriors but when it came to shadowclan their leader Blackstar accused Thunderclan of prey stealing. "That lying son of Tigerstar!" said Birchfall "We havent been prey stealing, they probably have though" Through all this outrage Hollypaw's gaze kept going to the Shadowclan deputy, Darkclaw. At one point their eyes met but she looked away quickly. Blackstar finished the rest of the report and the clans started sharing tongues. Hollypaw was feeling embarassed, sitting alone under a bush when darkclaw came and sat next to her " I need to talk to you," he said " meet me at our border tomorrow night." Hollypaw was left sitting in shock as he walked off but she had already made up her mind what she would do. She was going.
