I'm sorry I haven't updated in forever! I've been busy with school and lacrosse, but I am back! Anyway, I'm going to start answering reviews here, so if you send them in you'll see them on here.

Starrysong Likes Spring - Thanks for reviewing! I love all of the main characters so far, but if I had to pick then I'd pick Nightpaw XD

Graypaw was out training with Berrypaw, Hazelpaw, and Eaglepaw. The four apprentices usually hung out to practice every once in a while. They would show each new moves and techniques that they came up with and teach one another.

Eaglepaw was always throwing his weight around in a battle while Berrypaw used her smaller size to move quickly around her opponent and confuse him. Hazelpaw was more focused on clawing her attackers than using a talent.

Graypaw spent her free time coming up with counter attacks for her friends' fighting styles. She would dodge Eaglepaw's attacks and hit him with quick attacks, step lively around Berrypaw and keep her in her sights, and would jump around Hazelpaw to get her frustrated. Graypaw was surprised her friends never figured out a way to counter back, but at the same time she wasn't. She had always been more of a strategist than her friends.

"Graypaw, are you even paying attention?" Hazelpaw sighed. Graypaw blushed. Eaglepaw and Berrypaw stared at her.

Graypaw hadn't been paying attention to Hazelpaw at all. She was too busy thinking about the prophecy! She wanted to figure out who else had gotten the dream. Graypaw was determined to find the others in the prophecy.

"Sorry, Hazelpaw." She said. Hazelpaw rolled her eyes and went on showing her friends a hunting technique. Before she could continue, one of the StoneClan warriors, Newtstream, jogged up to them.

"Hey, Newtstream! What's up?" Eaglepaw greeted. "Talonstar asked me to find you. He said that Graypaw and Eaglepaw were going to the Gathering tonight." The dark tabby replied.

"Sweet!" Eaglepaw cheered as Hazelpaw and Berrypaw moaned. Graypaw had completely forgotten about the Gathering. It was a nice surprise to hear that she was going.

It also gave her alone time with Eaglepaw. The prophecy mentioned something about a bird, so maybe Eaglepaw was that bird? Graypaw planned on not giving too much away in case he wasn't part of the prophecy, just asking if he had any weird dreams.

"We should probably get ready. The Gathering is not long from now." Eaglepaw was saying. Berrypaw gave her chest a couple of quick licks. "I wish I could go. But I did go last time, so I'm happy for you two." She purred.

"I've only gone to one so far! I don't get why Talonstar never picks me to go." Hazelpaw complained.

"Don't complain. You'll go next time." Graypaw said. "You go all the time!" Hazelpaw sighed. "Not really. She's only gone twice." Eaglepaw stepped in.

"Just be sure to tell us everything that happens." Berrypaw meowed to Graypaw. "I like hearing everything that goes on." Graypaw nodded. "Don't worry, we promise."

Graypaw meowed goodbyes to her friends as the group of cats headed for Star Valley. All of the Gatherings were held there. It was big enough to shelter all four of the clans. Graypaw glanced over at Stormpaw. He had also been chosen to go tonight. She trotted straight past him and met up with Eaglepaw.

"So how are you doing?" She said. "Not bad. My paws will be sore after tonight, but that's alright. What about you?" The tom replied. "I'm doing good." Graypaw said. I gotta talk about dreams somehow.

"I'll have a good night sleep after all of this walking."

"It'll feel great being curled up in my nest."

"Had any good dreams lately?" Alright, not a bad transition.

"Uh, well there was one where we were battling MarshClan. Of course I was the reason we won."

"Cool. Any weird ones?"

"Weird ones?" "Yeah, anything weird lately?"

"Other than this conversation, nope. Everything's normal so far." Great. That was awkward and it didn't get me anyway with the prophecy.

Graypaw and the rest of StoneClan had just arrived at Star Valley. Four rocks stood tall in the valley. Each leader got their own stone to sit on.

MarshClan was already waiting there. BreezeClan and SnowClan weren't there yet. "Well, I'm going to go find some other apprentices to talk to. Are you coming, or are you going to hang with Stormpaw?" Eaglepaw winked. "Gross!" Graypaw shuttered. "Get real, Eaglepaw."

"Alright, alright, no more jokes. I swear." Eaglepaw replied, still grinning. "There's a group of MarshClan apprentices over there. Let's go say hi." Graypaw followed her friend over to the group. Three apprentices, a black tom with white feet, a silver tabby, and a brown and white tabby were busy talking. The brown and white apprentice had a visible scar on his shoulder. He must have gotten it recently. It looks like it healed well.

"Hey. I'm Eaglepaw and this is Graypaw." Eaglepaw was saying. "Nice to meet you. I'm Silverpaw. This is Ravenpaw and Robinpaw." The silver tabby meowed.

Graypaw couldn't help but notice that Robinpaw was staring at her. The bird will see gray. Maybe he knows something.

"I've seen you and Robinpaw before at Gatherings. Are you a new apprentice, Ravenpaw?" Eaglepaw asked. "Yeah, I started about a quarter moon ago." Ravenpaw told him. "His brother was pretty annoyed he couldn't come tonight. He hurt his paw fishing and wasn't allowed to come." Silverpaw meowed. "Maybe we can introduce you to him next time." Ravenpaw suggested. Graypaw nodded.

Before she could say anything, BreezeClan arrived. "Hey Ravenpaw, do you see that big, white tom leading BreezeClan? That's their leader-" Robinpaw began. He was cut off by his eager brother before he could finish. "Coldstar, right? And the deputy is Cloudwing." Ravenpaw said. "Not bad." Robinpaw smiled.

Graypaw wanted desperately to talk to Robinpaw alone. If he did know something about the prophecy, she needed to know. "Should we introduce them to Stormpaw?" Graypaw whispered to Eaglepaw. She hated suggesting it, but it was the best way to get them away from her and Robinpaw. Eaglepaw shot her a look and smirked.

"Shut up. I'm just trying to be nice, okay?" Graypaw told him. "Sure, sure." He teased. Eaglepaw turned to the MarshClan apprentices and said, "Do you guys wanna meet our friend?"

Graypaw was relieved to see Eagkepaw leading them away. She jogged up to Robinpaw. "Hey, uh, do you have a minute to talk? In private?" Graypaw asked. I really hope he's part of this prophecy thing. Otherwise he'll think I'm really weird. "Yeah, that's fine. Let's go by that rock over there." Graypaw nodded and followed him over to the rock.

"Alright, so what's up?" Robinpaw asked. Graypaw took a deep breath. How was she going to say this? "Okay, so uh, I don't really know how to put this but-" Well this is just going great.

"The bird will see gray?" Robinpaw meowed. "While the light and dark tussle!" Graypaw gasped. "You are part of the prophecy!"

"Shh!" Robinpaw warned her. "This is great!" Graypaw whispered. "We can figure this out together then!"

"Well, if the 'bird' and the 'gray' are us, then the 'light' and the 'dark' probably find each other. Our names were together in the prophecy. Maybe we should just wait until those two find each other." Robinpaw suggested. "How are we going to know if they find each other?" Graypaw asked. Robinson shrugged.

"I'm sure StarClan will help us with that part." "Did you go to the StarClan Forest yet?" Graypaw meowed. "Yeah, I did. When I almost died." Robinpaw said. "Almost died?" Graypaw repeated. Robinpaw nodded. "It's a long story. If we meet in the StarClan Forest tomorrow night, I can tell you about it." Robinpaw replied. "Sounds good to me. Maybe while we're there StarClan will give us a hint about the other two cats." Graypaw agreed.

Graypaw was so busy talking to Robinpaw that she didn't notice SnowClan walk in. They'll probably bring up our discussion over the stolen prey. What fleabags.

"Come on, let's go find the others." Robinpaw told her. Graypaw and Robinpaw made their way over to their friends. "Hey, where were you two?" Silverpaw asked. "We, uh-" Robinpaw stammered. "We were following you guys, but then a group of BreezeClan cats cut us off and we couldn't find you guys." Graypaw said quickly. Robinpaw blinked gratefully at her.

Graypaw sat down next to Eaglepaw. She wanted to sit with Robinpaw, but she didn't want the others to get suspicious of them. Before Graypaw could react, Stormpaw sat next to her. Oh great. Stormpaw.

"Hey, Graypaw." He greeted. "Hi, Stormpaw." Graypaw meowed without looking at him. "Look, I'm sorry about the whole incident we had when we were helping Sandpelt. I wanted to apologize and see if we could, I dunno, start fresh?" Stormpaw was saying. Graypaw hesitated to answer.

Before she had to answer, Coldstar had called for the Gathering to begin. Thank StarClan.

"All is well in BreezeClan. Four of our kits will receive their apprentice names and two of our apprentices, Redpaw and Volepaw, will receive their warrior names soon." Coldstar began. "Brindlestar, would you like to speak next?" The tortoiseshell leader stepped forward.

"Prey is good in MarshClan. Apparently it's so good that SnowClan can't keep their grubby, little paws out of our territory for it!" Brindlestar spat, glaring at Owlstar. "My clan has not stolen any prey from any clan! I've made sure of it!" He replied calmly. Yowls of agreement rose up from the SnowClan cats.

"Stop the madness, Owlstar!" Talonstar snapped. "Your cats have stolen from our territory as well!" "Talonstar, Brindlestar, I assure you my cats have not stepped a foot over your borders." Owlstar meowed.

"Next time I hear that your cats have been scented on my land, you will regret it, Owlstar!" Talonstar yelled. "The same goes for MarshClan! We will not tolerate this!" Brindlestar agreed.

"Stop it!" Coldstar hollered. "Look at the sky!" Graypaw stared up at the full moon. Big clouds were moving in to cover it. "You've infuriated StarClan! If the three of your clans can't keep the peace for one night, my clan is leaving!" Coldstar yelled. "BreezeClan, move out, now!" The big, white leader leapt down from his rock and headed for his territory. The rest of his clan followed him out.

"I won't allow you both to drag the name of my clan through the mud any longer. If you want a war, I will give you a war." Owlstar told the other leaders. He leapt down and gathered his clan.

"Don't make me laugh, Owlstar." Brindlestar meowed. "Everyone knows that SnowClan is the weakest clan in the forest right now."

"I see your ego is as big as ever, Brindlestar." Talonstar said to the MarshClan leader. Brindlestar snarled at him and jumped down from her rock. "MarshClan, were leaving." She yelled.

"StoneClan, let's go." Talonstar said.

Graypaw said goodbye to Robinpaw and the other MarshClan apprentices. She quickly ran to the front of the group, hoping Stormpaw wouldn't follow her.

"Oh, hey Graypaw. That was some Gathering, huh?" Cherryspots laughed. Cherryspots was the last apprentice to be made into a warrior. She had always been popular with the other apprentices. She was a good hunter and she had beautiful white fur with red specks.

"I knew that Talonstar would bring up what happened, but I didn't think that would happen." Graypaw replied. "Neither did I. SnowClan is clearly in hot water with MarshClan. Brindlestar was really annoyed." Cherryspots meowed. "I'm glad she's not my leader."

Poor Robinpaw. He has Brindlestar as his leader, and she'd be a nightmare if that's how she acts all the time. "Eaglepaw told me that you wanted to introduce some apprentices to Stormpaw. I always thought that you hated him." Cherryspots smiled. Oh I'm going to hit Eaglepaw later. He better not tell anyone else.

"I was just trying to be nice. I don't like Stormpaw. He's annoying, arrogant, and self-centered." Graypaw insisted. "He's not that bad." Cherryspots began. "Not in my eyes. He could catch a baby mouse and act like he caught a giant rabbit." Graypaw said. Cherryspots shrugged.

"Anyway, how's being a warrior?" Graypaw was eager to change the subject. "It's great! I'm so glad that I don't have to do apprentice duties anymore." Cherryspots exclaimed. "You'll love being a warrior."

"Was your Warrior Avowal hard?" Graypaw asked. Whenever an apprentice received their warrior name, they were put through a trial to become a true warrior. Every clan had their own avowal. StoneClan made their newly named warriors retrieve an item from a hidden cave in the base of the High Peak. The entrance of the cave was littered with pointy rocks. The inside of the cave was no better. It was pitch black inside, with even more pointy rocks and sudden, small drops. Graypaw heard from the elders that it wasn't an easy task.

"I didn't think I'd get out of there again. It was hard to see and my feet were bleeding from the rocks." Cherryspots admitted. "But I did it, so I guess it wasn't that bad. I'm sure you'll do fine."

Graypaw didn't know how to prepare for the trial. She would be going into the avowal completely blind. Graypaw was so used to making plans, so not being able to make one made her worry. I won't have to take my avowal for a while, so here's no point thinking about it now.

Graypaw was tired by the time she got back to camp. She immediately headed for the apprentice den. When she got inside, Berrypaw was waiting. "Hazelpaw would have waited with me, but she fell asleep." Berrypaw laughed. "So what happened at the Gathering?"Graypaw let out a big yawn. "I'll tell you in the morning. I promise." She said as Eaglepaw and Stormpaw walked in wearily. "Fine. I'm tired anyway." Berrypaw yawned, curling up into her nest and shutting her bright, blue eyes. Graypaw climbed into her bed and fell asleep within seconds.

Hope you guys enjoyed it! Graypaw and Robinpaw met up! It's slowly coming together guys. Thank you for the reviews, they motivate me to write. I'll update Cloudtuft's Clan and Shade's Exile soon.
