Silverblaze and Lightsong belong to starbomb. Cherrydawn belongs to Cherrydawn5
"Thunderclan it's time to leave!" Firestar called as we headed out of the hallow. Tonight would be my first gathering back in the clans…and as a deputy. It's going to be an awkward. As we walked down the path to the island, Nightmare walked by my side. I sighed as I remembered last night when Nightmare had told me about Solitaire, Sol and the third cat. And I believe that the cat with Solitaire and Sol might be a clan cat.
We leaped over the small stream and walked by the lake on the Windclan boarder. We continued to walk and Nightmare asked "You nervous?" I nodded and said "Hey…at least I have my two best friends here beside-" I stopped in midsentence and looked around our group. Then I found Flamewing walking with Silverblaze and Lightsong. She gave a glance to me but continued to talk to the other Fallen Angels.
I turned back forward and Nightmare said "Eh…Flamewing just needs a little time to herself. I mean you have been gone so long and then suddenly come back. Along with me and the two new Fallen Angels." I sighed and said "Yah…I guess so."
Soon we reached the bridge and Firestar headed over first and then Flamewing said "Deputy has the right of way." I gave her a sharp look and then leaped up on the smooth slippery bark. Once I had a good hold I walked across and then leaped down onto the sandy ground. I then walked forward to let the others go.
I walked through the bushes headed to the clearing when I heard a soft voice call "Psst! Felidaestar!" I looked around and then saw green eyes flash. I walked forward and asked "Hello? Who's there?" I watched as a ginger she-cat walked out of the undergrowth and I remember her as the Riverclan Warrior Cherrydawn.
"Oh, long time no see Cherrydawn." I said and she walked up and said "I'm sorry that this might not be the best time, but I need to tell you something." I nodded and asked "Okay, I am listening. Something wrong in Riverclan?" Cherrydawn shook her head no and then said "No….it's just that I…I'm a Fallen Angel."
My eyes widen in surprise and then I said "Prove it." She nodded and backed up a few steps and then I watched as her eyes changed amber, her fur shortened and became silver with her paws black and tail also tipped black. I blinked in surprise and said "You look just like me!" She nodded and in my voice said "I can shape shift." She then changed back to her regular look.
I was about to say something but a yowl went through the clearing. "Oh, the Gathering is starting." Cherrydawn then said "Some other time then…" I wanted to say something to her but she had already run out into the clearing. I took a deep breath and then calmly followed her into the crowd but then turned and sat at the base of the oak tree.
Right away I got looks of confusion form a few Warriors and the other deputies. I looked up at the trees as Blackstar was speaking first. He told about how everything was running smoothly in their clan and prey was well. I wasn't surprised that he didn't talk about the dog attack. After he sat down, Onestar stepped forward and told the same. Then Mistystar stepped forward.
"As you all know, Leopardstar is no longer with us. She has joined Starclan and I am the new leader of Riverclan. And my deputy is Reedwhisker." Approving yowls went up into the air by all the clans and then Mistystar nodded to Firestar and stepped back.
Firestar stood up and then said "A few days ago, a group of dogs attacked a Thunderclan patrol. In the end, our deputy Brambleclaw had died fighting like a true Warrior." A silence went through the cats as they bowed their heads. I looked over at the Shadowclan cats and saw Tawnypelt looking like a wreck. I frowned knowing the pain she was going through.
Then Firestar said "And the new deputy of Thunderclan is Felidae." Surprised looks from everyone flickered from Firestar down to me. I stood up and held my head up proud. I don't want to look like a nervous kit in front of everyone. Firestar then said "We also have two new Warriors and the return of an old friend. Lightsong and Silverblaze."
Eyes turned to the two she-cats standing up in the middle of the crowd. Silverblaze looked a little shy while Lightsong seemed to love the attention. Welcoming calls came to them and then Firestar added "And you all remember Nightmare.
Everyone fell silent and Nightmare broke out laughing like a psychopath and said "And I love to be back with you all! Missed me? I sure missed you all!" I looked up at Firestar who looked somewhat annoyed but he put on a faint smirk and I slightly chuckled.
"The gathering is over." Firestar then said and leaped down from the tree. I stood up and looked for Cherrydawn. I found her at the edge of the clearing. She was sitting by a bush and when I got near she stood up and walked over to me.
"Congratulations on becoming the deputy." I smiled and then said "Yes, well you know since you're a Fallen Angel, if you ever need help just ask me. I'll do everything I can to help." Cherrydawn smiled and then said "Thanks Felidae. I have to go with my clan now." I nodded and watched her walk off.
I then walked up to my clan and then found Flamewing giving herself a quick grooming. I walked over to her and said "hi Flamewing." She looked up at me and said "Oh…hello." She narrowed her eyes and asked "Is something wrong?" I shook my head no and said "No, I just wanted to talk with you."
She didn't say anything at first but then said "Well…I'm not in a talking mood. Later…" She then walked away and I stared after her. What's going on with our friendship…
I just sighed and then followed my clan out of the clearing and headed back to the camp.
