DISCLAIMER:

Think about it. If I owned warriors, would I be writing fan-fiction? Well, maybe (For Harry Potter or Tamora Peirce books, 'cuz I can't be J.K. Rowling AND Tamora Peirce AND Erin Hunter at the same time, you know!), but still, I do not own warriors!

Oh, and for those of you that were wondering, OMSC was Oh My StarClan. I kinda couldn't use OMG there, could I? I normally don't do that in my stories.

I couldn't believe it! My first gathering! Hooray! I was pretty much bouncing along, very un-Moonpaw-like.

"You're acting as if this is a big deal," Cloverpaw meowed, as she padded past me. This was probably the second gathering for her. She was probably pretty annoyed at me for almost almost beating her during training. Well, almost. I had been getting tired too, at that point.

"So, I guess you're excited?" Shadowheart asked as she caught up to me.

"You bet! I just can't wait! I mean, how many apprentices get to go to their first gathering, let alone after maybe five days of training?..." I ended up babbling like this the entire way, right up until we reached the Stone Stairs. It's basically a bunch of boulders leading down to the Five Stones. There's one for each Clan (CaveClan, PlainsClan, MountainClan, PlateauClan and StarClan, our ancestors). Each points to the Clans territories, except for StarClans. Theirs' is in the center. Across from us is the MountainClan mountain. Then, off to the left is the slightly raised plateau of PlateauClan, and further down to the right is PlainsClan. There's an opening under the Star Rock (the rocks have names. Mountain Rock, Plateau Rock, Cave Rock, Cave Rock and obviously Star Rock) that leads to the Dream River, where the leaders and medicine cats talk to StarClan. Of course, Sunpaw would be going there at the next half moon, for his 'real' ceremony. But more about that later. When we got to Five Stones, I could see three cats standing on top of the StarStone. There was a misty gray she-cat, most likely Miststar, and a very large black tom, then a fluffy white she-cat.

"That's Nightstar of PlateauClan, and Miststar from PlainsClan next to him. Milkstar is on his other side. She's from MountainClan," Shadowheart meowed. I could see as Talonclaw went to stand beneath the stone and Stonestar on it. Gingerfoot went with him as Sunpaw and Cloverpaw started to mingle with some other apprentices. Maybe, if Willowpaw was with me, I wouldn't be alone. I knew that Cloverpaw didn't like me, and I was honestly a bit scared by her.

"Hello there!" came a soft meow from behind me. I turned to see a small, light gray she-cat with beautiful green eyes standing there. She smelled of PlainsClan.

"Hi," I mumbled. She looked to be about four moons older than me. I could see a couple toms staring at her from a group of cats. She most certainly was beautiful.

"I'm Silentpaw. Who are you?" she asked. She certainly was friendly!

"Moonpaw..." I mumbled.

"You seem nervous, Is this your first gathering?" Silentpaw asked me.

"Yeah, I was just made an apprentice a few days ago," I said.

"Wow, you're lucky! I didn't get to go to a gathering until my third moon. Would you like to meet some other cats?"

"Sure, I guess..." I followed Silentpaw to a group of three cats, that, just to my luck, contained Sunpaw.

"This is Streampaw, the medicine cat apprentice for MountainClan," Silentpaw meowed, pointing at a larger gray she-cat with her tail. "This is Skypaw, medicine cat apprentice of PlateauClan, and Sunpaw-" added as she pointed at a white tom with one blue eye, and one amber one. He looked strangely like Icekit. How I missed him!

"We've met," I said as she got to Sunpaw. He looked the other way.

"Oh, really? You're both from CaveClan! How could I forget!" Silentpaw said.

"Can I guess that you're PlainClan's medicine cat apprentice?" I asked. I didn't feel comfortable around so many lucky cats.

"Yup! We've got to stick together, but you're welcome to join us at any gathering you'd like. I hear that you wanted to get the spot. It must've been a shock when Gingerfoot asked Sunpaw instead, huh?" Silentpaw meowed. What an outgoing cats. Honestly, I found her a bit annoying. Talking to her this entire time, I had pretty much missed the first bit of the gathering.

"- There is also a new litter of kits in the nursery. Dawnflower had her litter just days after the last gathering. Other than that, MountainClan has no news," Milkstar meowed. Who was Dawnflower? Nobody I'd heard of, but what would you expect?

"New kits are always good news. CaveClan recently suffered from another flood, but that can be expected in this thaw. We lost the lives of Lightheart and Flamekit, but also had many saved. We give thanks to Shadowheart, Sunpaw, Snowstorm, Silvertail and Rosepetal, as well as Spottedpelt and Moonpaw for those lives were saved. We also have four new apprentices. Whitepaw and Blackpaw couldn't come, but Moonpaw, and Sunpaw, our new medicine cat apprentice could. That is all from CaveClan." Stonestar meowed. I could hear people congratulating Sunpaw, and Silentpaw was saying something. I, on the other hand, was trying to listen to Miststar.

"In PlainsClan we have three new apprentices. Ravenpaw, Smallpaw and Grasspaw were unable to come tonight. We also have a new litter of kits. Other than that, there is no news from PlainsClan," Miststar meowed.

"We also have very little news from PlateauClan. We have nothing to report, other than the fact that our prey is running well as leafbare is coming to a close," Nightstar meowed. This seemed to have been a short gathering, but it was interrupted by a falling star from the sky.

"A sign!" exclaimed a small calico she-cat. Streampaw and Skypaw rushed to their mentors. I was left standing beside

'Two have failed,
three will come,
or else shadows shall rise,
And take the forest in it's paws'

"Did you hear something?" I asked Streampaw. The she-cat looked at me oddly, then went to her mentor as well. Sunpaw looked preoccupied, and did nothing.

"This gathering is over," Nightstar called as he jumped from the Star Stone. I couldn't help but think about what I heard. Two have failed? what could that mean? And why was I hearing these things? The voice had... it almost felt cold. How do voices feel like something? Am I losing my mind?

Okay, if I get five (GOOD! No just 'random filler. reviews) reviews on this chapter before I put the next one up in a few days, I will have another contest. Ten, and I will insert a plot twist that YOU, my loyal readers, will vote on! And more than ten, and I have to think of something! Now, READ AND REVIEW! BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
