"So how do you feel, Frozenpaw?" Hailblaze asked while he carried a few leaves towards the herb store.

"Fine..." Frozenpaw mewed. "Why...?"

He dropped the leaves with it's matches and looked at her lightly. "It's been a whole half moon since you became my apprentice. Congratulations for not poisoning anyone yet!"

Frozenpaw rolled her eyes and stared at her pile of marigold. "Ha, ha. Very funny."

He chuckled to himself and padded up to her. "What are you up to now? Didn't I ask you to memorize those remedies over there?" He pointed with his tail to a line of different berries and leaves.

"I did," Frozenpaw murmured lamely. Tansy, thyme, watermint, dock, juniper berries, goldenrod and lavender in that order."

A look of respect flickered across Hailblaze's face as she finished reciting the herbs. He nodded and checked to see what she was doing at that moment- shredding the leaves off a coltsfoot plant- and satisfied, he padded over to the herb store.

It may seem that Frozenpaw was doing well, and maybe that was correct, but as she pulled off the flower from stem of the plant, nothing quite felt complete. Ever since the bittersweet dream she had at the Moonpool, not just her rank was out of order. Nothing felt right, right down to her steady breathing in her sleep. She hardly ever saw the outside world, considering she was sitting in the medicine den all day, fiddling with a bunch of leaves. Maybe she should have been glad that Snowshine and Oakshade were hardly on her mind, but when the Clan left for the Gathering that night, she realized what she was missing. Frozenpaw wondered how many cats would be announced warriors by the Clan leaders, while she had yet to even think about receiving her full name. Even Rabbitpaw became a warrior after being ill for so long. He was now Rabbitfoot.

She looked over at Hailblaze. "Why couldn't have we gone to the Gathering withh the rest of the Clan?" She dropped the coltsfoot. "It's boring here."

"Too much to do here," said her mentor.

"Is there really? The Clan's perfectly healthy now! I wonder how many leaves will shrivel up because know one will ever need them," Frozenpaw retorted.

Hailblaze gazed at her defensively. "Hey, you never know. Besides, I thought I heard Talonfoot coughing a little this morning. You never know what that could turn into."

Frozenpaw grunted. "I would've been announced tonight as a new apprentice! Don't you think I would have wanted to see that?"

That seemed to provoke thought in Hailblaze's mind. With a sigh, he waved his tail. "Alright. You can go. The Clan just left. If you run fast enough, you can get there before the Gathering begins."

"Really you mean it?" Frozenpaw asked, jumping up.

"Yeah, yeah. Go on." Hailblaze nodded at the den entrance.

"Thank you, Hailblaze!" Frozenpaw turned and dashed outside.

"Don't be surprised when I give you extra work tomorrow!" her mentor called back.

Frozenpaw ignored the warning and started climbing the ravine. She knew it would slow her down, but she hoped she could get there quick enough to hear her name called out by Flickerstar. Her limbs ached with exhausted by the time she was running through the territory, but the thought that she would finally be noticed fueled her energy.

She passed tree by tree, the scent of her Clanmates growing stronger on her tongue. She thought she saw a flash of tabby fur through the thick expanse of leaves and felt pride swell in her chest. Look at me! I'm the best at tracking! I'd be able to catch so much prey for the Clan!

But I can't. Only Lionpaw can.

She shook away her thoughts and continued. It wasn't long until a wave of a tail slipped through a bramble bush. "Wait!" Frozenpaw called out.

After a moment, a head poked through the narrow branches of the bush. "Frozenpaw? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back at camp with Hailblaze?"

"He said I could catch up with you to see my name announced at the Gathering," she mewed, panting. "So, here I am!"

The warrior, Icyclaws, also Nettlepaw's mentor dipped her head. "Let's get going then." She led Frozenpaw ahead to where the rest of the Clan was walking. "So, how do you like being a medicine cat?"

"A lot." I should be a warrior!

"That's good. I've watched Lionpaw during training, and I have to say, he's doing amazing! Only between us, a lot better than Nettlepaw. That tom just isn't motivated. Anyway, it'd be hard for anyone to conquer is moves in battle. In time, he'll be defeating the RiverClan leader at Sunningrocks!"

"I would be too!" Frozenpaw exclaimed before she could stop herself. Icyclaws gave her a funny look. "I mean, uh. I would be if I were a warrior. After all, I am Lionpaw's brother."

"It must run in the family," Icyclaws replied. "Oakshade was phenomenal when he trained beside me and my sister. But Lionpaw, whoof, he is definitely someone to look out for."

Frozenpaw gritted her teeth and looked ahead, trying to ignore the admiring sound of Icyclaws voice. Everyone had that irritating ring to their words when they spoke of Lionpaw.

"We're here," Icyclaws murmured before stepping forward. Frozenpaw followed her Clan into the clearing, and gaped. She knew that Hailblaze had told her Fourtrees is where the Clan had Gatherings but she still wasn't prepared to see how strikingly identical it looked in her dream. Even when she had not seen it yet. The four massive oaks that marked the corners of the scared ground, the sky a pool of stars above the lovely scenery, and a stone that sparkled in the light. The only thing different with this place and the place in her dream was that it was full of unfamilar, huge warriors.

"Look up there, at the Great Rock," someone said. Frozenpaw turned to see Stonepaw talking to Lionpaw about the giant stone. "Those cats are the three other leaders."

Frozenpaw gazed at the cats he was talking about. A gray tom, a tabby cat and a golden she-cat all stood upon the sparkling stone. Flickerstar joined them and turned to the crowd gathered throughout the clearing. The gray tom whispered something Frozenpaw couldn't hear and Flickerstar rolled his eyes while the other two leaders snickered.

The tabby cat yowled and the crowd silenced. He cleared his throat. "WindClan has much to rejoice about this moon. Prey is very abundant on the moor and we have three new kits, and a new warrior, Bluewish."

"Bluewish! Bluewish!" The Clans cheered, and Frozenpaw noticed as a blue-gray she-cat with green eyes stood and nodded her head at everybody. One day, I'll hear those chants. All for me.

"We have also won a battle recently with a few foxes. The beginning of newleaf is an omen for a virtuous season for WindClan."

The Clans cheered, and Frozenpaw noticed Lionpaw pad up to her. "Hey, you made it. Great! Hey, WindClan's leader up there is called Runningstar, and the tom next to him is ShadowClan's leader, Breezestar, and-"

"I know," Frozenpaw snapped. "You think I don't know anything?"

"I just-"

"Hey, keep it down back there," snarled a gray and black tom.

Frozenpaw glowered at Lionpaw for a moment and looked back up at the Great Rock. He acts like he knows everything!

The gray tabby, Breezestar began sharing ShadowClan's news. "There is not much to report for ShadowClan other than badger scent caught near the Thunderpath. I just want to warn you in case you spot any predator in your territory."

The golden she-cat dipped her head. "Thank you for that, Breezestar." She turned her head towards the rest of the clearing and announced louder. "A new kit has been born to RiverClan a few days ago. Our Clan is growing. Someday our territory won't be big enough for all of us," she laughed jokingly.

Frozenpaw saw Stonepaw beside Lionpaw bristle. She flattened one of her ears in confusion. "What could that possibly mean? She's just expressing the excitement for her Clan."

Stonepaw looked at her sideways, his eyes narrowed in annoyance. "Are you really that stupid, Frostpaw?" he snarled.

"That's not my-"

"Ignore her," muttered Lionpaw, suddenly emitting anger towards his sister. "We couldn't expect a medicine cat apprentice to understand anything."

Frozenpaw opened her mouth to retort, but was cut off as the same gray and black tom growled loudly, glaring at the tree of them with an angry gaze.

Flickerstar seemed to also carry suspicion and inquisition and began announcing what the last moon had brought the Clan. "Um...thanks for that report, Yellowstar. ThunderClan has three new warriors-Stormshade, Whitefur and Rabbitfoot."

The Gathering chanted the names.

"Prey is running well in the territory, and a half moon ago, Snowshine's kits were made apprentices. Lionpaw is doing legendarily in his training to be a warrior, and his sister had taken on the path of a medicine cat."

The cats beneath Flickerstar yowled in congratulations. Lionpaw puffed out his chest and Snowshine turned to look proudly at her son. Frozenpaw just stared shockingly up at the Great Rock where Flickerstar stood.

"Lionpaw is doing legendarily in his training to be a warrior," he had said, "and his sister..." The rest of his words slipped past her, like he had never said them. Frozenpaw just fought the urge to scream out her name to the clearing.

His sister. Frozenpaw was just his sister. She was nothing more than the littermate of the "legendary" Lionpaw. His sister. Not Frozenpaw, no. She was just Lionpaw's sister, as long as he was there to be spectacular, she was just his sister. The white cat in the back round.

The leaders hopped off of the Great Rock. As cats began breaking away from their conversations, Clans started going separate ways to head back to their camp. It had been the night of a particularly peaceful Gathering, despite the subtle threat everyone believed Yellowstar made. That's what it was to them.

To Frozenpaw, it was the night she really got idea.

:*( Poor Frozenpaw. All she wanted was to be recognized for who she was, not who she was compared to her brother. I think it is about time to see how "amazing" Lionpaw is. Please review, and look out for the next chapter!
