Chapter 8:
Mistpaw got up from her moss nest in the apprentices' den. She nudged Maplepaw awake. Flakestar was calling the cats together to go to the gathering. Fawnpaw wasn't in her nest so Mistpaw guessed she was already with the group. Mistpaw padded outside and Maplepaw followed her. They joined the group of cats waiting to go to the gathering. Once all the cats going were together, Flakestar signaled for the cats to leave the camp. Mistpaw was towards the back of the group with Jayhawk, Maplepaw, and Sage. Mistpaw had always been scared of Sage. He was the spy for SnowClan that went to the twoleg place. He was mean and scary and was rarely ever in camp. But one of the elders once told Mistpaw to respect Sage, he apparently had been through a lot. Mistpaw moved closer to Maplepaw, hoping Sage didn't notice. Mistpaw leapt onto the tree-bridge and Maplepaw followed her. Mistpaw had never been fond of the tree-bridge. She didn't like how the black water looked like it could suck you down and pull you in at any moment. Mistpaw sat down with Maplepaw and Fawnpaw next to a group of other apprenitces. Mistpaw recognized Whitepaw. Maplepaw started talking to her and Mistpaw just stared at the tree. Nobody usually talked to her at gatherings. The leaders leapt onto the big tree branch and called the gathering to a start.
"We are not going to wait for DarkClan any longer."Sparkstar meowed. "Prey have been swimming well and plentiful even in leaf-bare."
"Prey has been short this leaf-bare, but we are surviving." Rainstar meowed.
"Prey has been okay. The snow hares are skinny but there are many of them." Flakestar meowed. SnowClan was always in snow so it didn't suffer as much when it came to leaf-bare.
Then it was pitch black. Mistpaw couldn't see anything except for a single shining star in the sky. Mistpaw heard the scared meows of the other apprentices. Mistpaw backed toward Maplepaw. But stopped when she smelled something. It wasn't Maplepaw. It was a fox! Mistpaw turned around and scratched the fox's face."Fox!" Mistpaw screeched and she faintly saw Maplepaw and Whitepaw attacking the fox alongside her. What was happening? Why was there only one star?
