Ivypaw padded side by side with Reedheart, not looking up once at where she was going. She hated Ashclaw and it had only been about a day and half since she became his Apprentice. She really wanted Holyfrost to be her Mentor.

I hope the gathering will take my mind away from things

"Runningstar is going to keep quiet about you being an Apprentice now that Moonsteps is spreaded that you are Ivykit." Blackpaw meowed as he padded up beside her. Ivypaw sighed and looked up at the area before her. She stopped and stared.

"Isn't it wonderful?" Reedheart asked. Ivypaw stared out at their meeting place. The light had long since faded. Ivypaw saw eyes glimmering from the tree hollows. The wind wailed between the trees as each clan aprouched the place. Ivypaw moved faster, ignoring the hisses from her clan. Ivypaw tripped and landed into something muddy.

Ivypaw lifted her head and stared up. Ivypaw continued on after standing up. Ivypaw lifted her head to act like a brave warrior, but she bumped into something. She look up into the scary dark blues of a pitch black tom. "Your fifthy." He replied and he whipped the mud from his back.

"I am quiet sorry, Cavestar." meowed Runningstar as he padded up to Ivypaw's side. Cavestar stared down at Ivypaw. His eyes became narrow.

"What is her name?" Cavestar asked.

"I'm Ivypaw." Meowed Ivypaw.

"I knew it! I told you I wasn't crazy!" A far off hiss sounded from beside Lightstar, who was about to get on top of the Large rock. It was Moonsteps. Lightstar turned and stared at Ivypaw, Cavestar, and the rest of Swiftclan.

"Is this true that this is Snowtail's kit?" Lightstar asked. He and Cavestar were now on top of the Large rock. A tiger she-cat with white paws and blue eyes joined them, so Ivypaw guessed that she was Riverstar. Runningstar sighed which made Mosspelt frown.

"Yes, but she is now an Apprentice, Ivypaw." As Runningstar meowed that, Moonsteps padded up to them.

"Ivypaw needs to be in the clan where her mother once lived!" Moonsteps hissed and all the Warriors and Apprentices from Treeclan started to agree.

"There is no way I'm giving Treeclan my kit! Snowtail made the choice to give her to me!" Mosspelt hissed at Moonsteps.

"You don't understand what it's like to be the only cat in the clan with no kin!" Moonsteps hissed at Mosspelt.

"I do! Before Snowtail gave Ivypaw to me I felt alone!" He hissed as his claws came out. The dark starry sky started to lighten with thunder and clouds started to flew across the sky.

"Great now Starclan is angry! They agree with me." Mewoed Moonsteps.

"No they agree with me!" Mosspelt hissed.

"We'll get, Ivypaw one way or another." Meowed Lightstar from the Large rock before he padded down to meet his clan and then leave.

"Is that threat!" Runningstar demanded.

"No, that's a promise." Meowed Lightstar before he, Moonsteps, snd his clan removed themselves from the gathering. Riverstar shrugged and did the same. Cavestar stopped in front of Runningstar and Ivypaw.

"Unless you want a war between Tree and Swift you'd best return Ivypaw." He meowed before padding away with his clan.

"What do we do now?" Asked Whitestone as they headed back for the Swiftclan camp. Runningstar kept looking at Mosspelt and then at Ivypaw. He couldn't brake them a part, but he also didn't want war between Swiftclan and Treeclan.

"We stay and fight." Meowed Runningstar.

"But what if Treeclan wins?" Blackpaw asked.

"Treeclan wont win!" Gingerfoor protested.

"I have that same question. What if the do lose?" Hazelfur asked.

"Then we lose Ivypaw." Meowed Hawknose.

"We wont only lose her, but if cats fight there is always a death of many." Meowed Runningstar.

"I really don't want Ivypaw to leave, so we need to fight as hard as we can." Mewoed Reedheart.

"Your right, Reedheart. We aren't going to lose Ivypaw or the fight." Meowed Mosspelt.
