Hey, ya'll! WarriorsFanfiction11111111111111 here. This will be a rather exciting chapter if I do say so myself. Flattail has a British accent (If you're from Britain, just imagine your voice) this chapter will have a lot of POVs, but its fine.
Chapter 5
Hollypaw walked alongside Thornpaw to the gathering. Everyone walks so fast! She thought breathlessly. Thornpaw seemed to be deep in thought, but Hollypaw didn't mind his quietness. She didn't think she could talk. Scratchstar stopped abruptly.
"Let's go," She said. The whole clan dove into the hollow to the four great oaks. Hollypaw dove in with them. Once with the other clans, Hollypaw tried to keep up with Thornpaw, but it was no use. Now that she wasn't terrified, she could get a good look at her surroundings. Every clan had arrived. If it weren't for her nose, Hollypaw wouldn't be able to tell WindClan from RiverClan. She realized she should probably get to know the apprentices from other clans, so she walked up to a group of WindClan apprentices.
When she arrived, they all turned to stare at her. Then a black and gray she-cat pointed and said,
"That's her! That's the cat with the ugly mother!" Hollypaw flattened her ears. Before she could say anything, a voice sounded behind her.
"No, Flattail. I think you are thinking of what you wish you looked like," Flattail let out a hiss. "Sticking your tongue into other cats business, Stormpaw?" Stormpaw thrust his nose forward.
"Stealing our prey, Flattail?" Flattail gasped. She turned her tail and stalked away. Hollypaw turned to see kind brown eyes.
"Hey," Stormpaw said. "WindClan are jerks," Hollypaw laughed. Now that she didn't have Flattail in her face, she could see Stormpaw clearly. He had a gray pelt with warm, brown eyes and a black ringed tail-tip. Before Hollypaw could change anything else, a wiry red she-cat in the leaders place let out a yowl.
"Who is that?" She whispered to Stormpaw. "That's Kestrelstar," He whispered back. "The leader of WindClan," Kestrelstar looked down.
"I will go first. I know RiverClan will mention this, but WindClan has not been stealing prey!" A light gray tabby jumped up. Hollypaw guessed that was Silverstar, leader of RiverClan.
"BECAUSE YOU HAVE!" Silverstar turned to the other leaders. "Rabbits like our land because it has these berries rabbits love. But the main berry bush is not far from the border," She turned back to Kestrelstar.
"And SHE has been sending warriors onto MY LAND to get them!" Kestrelstar shoved her nose into Silverstar's face. "When do you ever eat rabbits!?" Silverstar pushed right back.
"When the water freezes over!" Oakstar twitched his whiskers. "Shall you go on with the report?" Kestrelstar nodded. Beside Hollypaw, Stormpaw groaned. "Why does every leader think they need to state all their patrols?" In camp, Hollypaw had heard complaints too. "Yesterday," Kestrelstar droned,
"Stoneheart was given Mosspaw as an apprentice," Everyone cheered except for RiverClan.
Thornpaw's POV
Thornpaw glanced over at Hollypaw. He had finally found her, but she was talking to a RiverClan tom. The tome whispered something in her ear that made Hollypaw giggle. Thornpaw turned back around, hardening his heart.
Hollypaw's POV
Hollypaw listened to Kestrelstar, always excited when Stormpaw leaned in to whisper a witty remark. Kestrelstar took a deep breath.
"Blackwater, Cherryslip, and Dawnstep chased away a fox about a quarter moon ago. Morningdawn gave birth to kits. Rainstorm retired to the elders' den," Kestrelstar stepped back to let Oakstar go.
"Shimmerleaf found a new cure to the cold. Bumblestorm, lilysnap, Bramblespring, and Puddlestream chased away a badger using a plan Thunderpaw came up with. Silverstar, you may go," Silverstar nodded and began speaking.
"Ebonyfox and Sliptail are teaching the kits how to swim at night. Blackstorm and Sliptail recently recovered from white-caught. Nobody else seems to have it. Mossflower had kits, and Littlebird is expecting," Scratchstar went and the gathering was called to an end. Hollypaw was just leaving when she felt a tail brush her flank
. "Hollypaw, wait! I really like you. Do you think you could meet me here in three days? Please?" Hollypaw turned around in shock. Seeing she was speechless, Stormpaw said, "I'm giving you three days to think it over. Please," Hollypaw nodded.
"O-okay. I'll think about it,"
When Hollypaw got back to camp, she was floating on air. When she tried to greet Thornpaw, he turned away. What's his problem? But Hollypaw didn't give it a second thought. She was going to see Stormpaw again!
Thornpaw's POV
Thornpaw tried to be mean and cold, but he just couldn't. Oh, Hollypaw. I love you.
Stormpaw's POV
Stormpaw felt like he was on a cloud. Hollypaw hadn't rejected him! It could be a no, but I could be a YES!
And that concludes this chapter! Sunflower will put her note below
Sunflower42101- Loved that! I feel bad for Thornpaw (Which I think MANY of you did), and I kinda like Stormpaw though! Great job Wff12 (I hope you don't mind me calling you that XD)
