Chapter Ten (Three Moons Later...)

(Amberpaw's POV)

I watched as the clan began to gather for the gathering, hopefully Snowpaw will be at this one! She hasn't been to the past three! I glanced at my only remaining Thunderclan sister, Dewpaw she wasn't coming due to a thorn in her pad, she had been to the past three though I had only been to one but Snowpaw hadn't been at any of them so I didn't mind. I glanced at Lilystep and Seedflower they were going for the first time as warriors and we had new apprentices as well. Petalpaw was mentored by Mousewhisker, Tanglepaw was mentored by Jayfeather, Wildpaw was mentored by Lilystep. Thistlepaw was mentored by Seedflower, Tigerpaw was mentored by Cinderheart, Hawkpaw was mentored by Lionblaze. Smokepaw was mentored by Bramblestar, Finchpaw was mentored by Foxleap. Burrpaw was mentored by Ivypool, Loonpaw was mentored by Dovewing . Sandypaw was mentored by Thornclaw, Firepaw was mentored by Blossomfall and Moonpaw was mentored by Icecloud. Theres way too many apprentices in this clan! I think to myself as I scan the clearing, out of all the apprentices only five were going to the gathering, Firepaw, Burrpaw, Tigerpaw, Smokepaw and of course me.

"Is Snowpaw here?" I ask the Windclan deputy Owlwhisker and he nods, finally! I get to talk to her! I look around the island scanning the groups of cats for my sisters snowy pelt.

"Amberpaw!" I spin around Snowpaw's racing towards me her blue eyes shining.

"Snowpaw! I haven't seen you for so long! You haven't been at the gatherings! How's Windclan?" I ask but Snowpaw doesn't get to answer because Brightheart and Cloudtail have located her and are covering her in licks.

"Hey get off!" her fur bristles and she rushes away into the bushes I follow in pursuit. Snowpaw has changed... a lot!

"Hey Amberpaw sorry about that its just well I'm Windclan now and..." Snowpaw's voice trail off and I press my muzzle to hers.

"Its okay, you'll need to apologize to them though, hows Windclan?" I ask, say its bad, oh say its bad!

"Its great! The cats say I'm practically Windclan, I can run super fast and catch rabbits really well also rabbits taste so good the only problem is..." her voice trails off again.

"Well I'm glad you like Windclan," I say dryly, "What's the problem?" I add in a nicer tone.

"Well I kind of fell in love with a tom named Whiskertail, who is also my mentor! And then he offended me and so I will ditched him, kind of and then I fell in love with his brother Boulderleap. Then they got in a fight over me and Crowstar caught them and I don't know weather I like Boulderleap or Whiskertail better!" Snowpaw finished and I stared at her.

"Let me get this straight you fell in love with two toms and they both love you but you don't know who you love more?" I ask and Snowpaw nods.

"What should I do?" she asks but I don't get to answer for the gatherings beginning.

"Thunderclan is doing swell, we have two new warriors, Seedflower and Lilystep and also thirteen new apprentices, Tigerpaw, Thistlepaw, Hawkpaw, Petalpaw, Tanglepaw, Wildpaw, Loonpaw, Burrpaw, Finchpaw, Smokepaw, Firepaw, Sandypaw and Moonpaw." Bramblestar yowls.

"Seedflower, Lilystep, Tigerpaw, Thistlepaw, Hawkpaw, Petalpaw, Tanglepaw, Wildpaw, Loonpaw, Burrpaw, Finchpaw, Smokepaw, Firepaw, Sandypaw, Moonpaw!" The clans began to chant all the apprentices and warriors names.

"Windclan is well we also have apprentices and Kestrleflight passed away due to green cough, even though he was a medicine cat. Whitetail is the new medicine cat and Pawpaw is her apprentice, the other new apprentices are, Stumppaw, Yellowpaw, Graypaw, Starlingpaw and Talonpaw ! Also Heathertail ran away due to her kits 'brokeness'. We sadly had to give her other kit to twoleg due to the fact it could never be a warrior." Crowstar yowled.

"Pawpaw, Stumppaw, Yellowpaw, Graypaw, Starlingpaw, Talonpaw!" the clans cheered. I glance at Snowpaw their is no emotion in her expression.

Mistystar stepped forward,

"Riverclan is doing well despite the lack of fish in the rivers due to the twolegs, we do have new apprentices, Rockpaw, Reedpaw and Riverpaw! There is nothing else to report except for the fact we chased a dog away. It went into twoleg place." Mistystar finishes her report and Oakstar steps forward.

"Shadowclan is well I'd like to welcome our three new apprentices, Blossompaw, Owlpaw and Sparrowpaw. The prey is running well." Oakstar reported.

"Blossompaw! Owlpaw! Sparrowpaw!" the clans shouted.

"The gathering is over!" Oakstar growls and I narrow my eyes,

"Well bye Snowpaw," I meow curtly and Snowpaw barely glances at me. Is this how its always going to be? Are we rivals now? No longer sisters...well I could have been her friend still and I hope she always know, I love her and in my eyes we are sisters.

"Yea bye." she snorts then walks off with WindClan.
