Time Skip

Members of the River gang were milling around the island, the gang gathering place. Fox and Vixen were talking to a pair of siblings from the Thunder gang, Fire and Ice if she remembered right. Ash was talking quietly with the other Medics, Frost from Wind Gang, Blue and Brindle from Shadow Gang, and Thrush from Thunder Gang.

"Will all Gang members gather beneath the tall oak, The Gathering has begun!"

Storm, the leader of the Shadow Gang's voice rung throughout the Island, and Haze took her place at the bottom of the oak with the other deputies.

"Shadow Gang is thriving! We have had three new members in the past moon, Acorn, Thorn, and Holly!"

"Acorn, Thorn, Holly! Acorn, Thorn, Holly!"

Breeze went next.

"Wind Gang has also been thriving! I am sad to announce though, our deputy, Whisper, has decided to step down. Flare has taken her place."

Everyone cheered for the deputy, both old and new.

Timber took his place at the front of the crowd.

"River Gang is flourishing! We have had several new members, Dawn, Grass, and Sparrow!"

Mist, the Thunder Gang leader went last.

"Prey Stealers!"

Her voice echoed over the island. She then turned her threatening gaze towards Breeze.

"Your Gang has been hunting on our turf! Unless you want war, then instruct your members to stay to their own territory."

"Mist, you know very well that none of my Gang have hunted, or trespassed onto you hunting grounds. It is your Gang that has invaded!"

Outraged calls rang up from the clearing and Thunder Gang and Wind Gang pressed closer together.

"Fine! If you won't admit it, then you have war on your hands Breeze!"

Mist then fell in a coughing fit. Her deputy, Blossom, rushed to her side along with Thrush. Blossom then called out.

"Thunder Gang has one new member, Jay, apprenticed to Thrush! This gathering is over!"

Thunder Gang swiftly exited the island, followed by Wind Gang and Shadow Gang. River Gang was the last one on the island.

Haze kept her eyes glued to Timber as her climbed down the tree.

"I'm glad you feel better Timber, being a leader is hard work."

Timber laughed

"I'm sure it was. Breeze told me to talk about what happened today."

Haze quickly explained the events that happened in sixth period, earlier that day.

"I see, I think we will take Breeze up on his offer. Anyways how is Night doing? I have not seen him in a while."

"Yes, he is fine. I don't see him that often though, just first period."

"Well, if you see him, give him my regards."

"Will do Timber."

"Hey! Break it up!"

A fight was going down in the locker room between two Shadow Gang apprentices and Two River Gang apprentices, Dawn and Sparrow.

"I said break. It. Up!"

Instantly the four broke apart, intimidated by the angry deputy

"Who started it?"

The group cowered before her until Dawn spoke up.

"They did! They waltzed in here and starting shoving Sparrow around, so I came and helped!"

Haze sighed

"Fine, just go back to class before I get the principal."

The four hunters scurried out of the locker room and hurried to their classes, leaving Haze all alone.

Sometimes I think all the stress in the world hovers around me.

Haze stepped outside to the track.

But I know someone, somewhere, has more stress then me. I wonder if I will ever meet them and get out of this town for a while.

Her gaze slowly drifted to the faint peaks in the distance.

I wonder what's over those mountains. Other gangs? That wouldn't surprise me.
