So, thx for the reviews, it's more of the beginning chapters I'm improving on, so some of the later chapters may be the same, thx :) :P

The Gathering

"Graystripe, Dustpelt, Sandstorm, Birchfall, Spiderleg, Berrynose, Hazeltail, Lionblaze, Icecloud, Rosepetal, Dovewing, Bumblestripe, Hollypaw, Rosepaw and Firepaw." Hollypaw felt her heart lift in her chest, even though she all ready knew she was going to the gathering, it still felt good to actually have her name called out on the list she had listened too for so long.

Her first moon of training had gone well, as had Firepaw's and Rosepaw's. They could all hunt now, but apparently they were still too young to learn battle moves, they were 7 moons old! How was that too young?

Birchfall said that they might start learning after the gathering, Hollypaw hoped they would, she couldn't wait till she could fight and be in battles, protecting her clan from the enemy, whether it was a fox, or badger, or another clan!

Bramblestar ran out of camp, a line of warriors following him, Hollypaw was near the back with Rosepaw and Firepaw. She found herself getting quite tired, as the older cats in front of her were not slowing down one bit for her or her littermate's.

She was relieved when they slowed down, but it was because they were on Windclan territory. She had got used to the scent but it still absolutely disgusted her, and it always would. The other clans were just as bad, Riverclan and Shadowclan both stunk just as much, Riverclan's fishy smell maybe even worse.

She looked on as a group of Windclan cats, led by Onestar, came up to Thunderclan.

"Greetings Bramblestar." Onestar said, looking at the Thunderclan leader before turning away.

"Greetings Onestar." Bramblestar replied, he didn't look at Onestar either. Hollypaw had learnt a bit more about the ongoing feud between the two clans. It was because Windclan had stole prey in leaf-bare and then denied it.

She got why her clan was angry but, it was greenleaf now, surely everything should have blown over by now. She had aired her views to Birchfall, who had said it was more complicated than that.

When Hollypaw saw the tree over the lake she was a little worried, what if she fell in! That would be really bad, she could see her clanmates going across the tree like it was any normal but of ground, so that was what she decided to do, but it was a bit harder than that.

If she looked down she could see the deep water underneath her, everytime a cat jumped on or off the tree it wobbled a bit, and at one point she almost fell in! Thankfully she regained her balance and carried on to the end of the tree, relieved to jump off on to the island.

With Rosepaw and Firepaw by her side she set off to explore the island. They were careful to keep away from the other clans, not yet feeling comfortable enough to converse with them as she saw some of her other clanmates doing.

When the leaders started speaking the three of them listened intently, wanting to remember every detail of their first gathering.

Mistystar had nothing new to report for Riverclan, ecxept the fact that the twolegs were here again, like they always were.

Next it was Onestar, who's report was a little more interesting. Windclan had two new warriors, Thornpelt and Dawnheart, and three new apprentices, Blackpaw, Mudpaw and Lionpaw. They had also chased a fox out of their territory, and it shouldn't have gone on to anyone elses territory but may have.

Then it was Blackstar he didn't say much, except Darkclaw and a patrol had chased a badger off their territory. Darkclaw was the Shadowclan deputy, he was sat at the bottom of the tree, his head held up high.

He looked quite mean and unapproachable, not someone she would like to mess with. Suddenly he turned his head and caught her eyes, she felt a shock of electricity run through her body.

She looked away quickly, feeling very uncomfortable, feeling very weird, what had just happened? She wasn't sure, her pelt felt all tingly and weird, like a burning sensation, but a nice one.

Next Bramblestar spoke, but Hollypaw wasn't listening much, she couldn't stop thinking about that weird feeling. She managed to get her attention on Bramblestar when he spoke about the new apprentices, and felt pride start to build up in her heart.

Pushing out all thoughts of the weird feeling and of Darkclaw, she made a vow in her head. I promise that I will be the best Thunderclan warrior ever, I will be loyal until the day I join Starclan.

At that point she had no idea how hard that was going to be...

Plz review thx :) :P
