Chapter Three
At the Gathering...
Lakestar was a little suprised to see Bluestorm in Buzzstar's place. Or was it Bluestar? Shaking her head, she lept on a branch next to her.
"Greetings~." she purred. "Is Buzzstar alright?"
Bluestorm lookEd hesitant, before giving Lakestar the grave news. "Buzzstar has major greencough and is weaker than ever. Rockyfoot had it too, but thanks to Hollystorm, he's recovering. Hopefully Buzzstar will too."
Lakestar looked at Bluestorm in sympathy. Luckily, Lakestar had no thought of using this as an advantage, but simply understood. "That's horrible." She meowed as Redstar and Wildstar arrived.
Meanwhile, Heatherpaw was making her way to the other apprentice's when she ran into a black she-cat with golden eyes.
"Ouch!" Heatherpaw snapped. "Watch it!" She wasn't in a great mood.
The black she-cat winced and a smaller black and gold cat bounded up.
"Stop being mean!" She meowed, twitching her whiskers.
"I-" Heatherpaw was interrupted by two familiar cats padding up. "Lynxpaw! Angelpaw!"
"It's Angelwing and Lynxfeather now~." Angelwing purred. Heatherpaw smiled as Lynxfeather stared at the two smaller she-cats sternly.
"Ivypaw, Tigerpaw. Go find the other apprentices." She meowed just as Sleekpaw came up.
"Cats of the Clans!" A yowl rang out, jerking the cats attention over to it's source; Lakestar. "It is time for the Gathering to begin!"
Back at WindClan camp, Hollystorm was working her paws off. Not only did Buzzstar and Rockyfoot have greencough, but it seemed poor Redkit had it too, luckily not as bad. Sighing, the black she-cat heard someone enter and turned around.
"Hello Reedfang."
"Hollystorm, I was wondering if I could take Silentsong and Whiskersun to find catmint. We don't have alot, and I know they both have a great sense of smell." Reedfamng flicked her tail towards the small pile of catmint resting.
"Thank you. That'd help me alot." the medicine cat purred. Reedfang dipped her head and left, leaving Hollystorm turning back to the sick cats.
She watched Rockyfoot open one eye slightly before closing it again. He was getting better, but Buzzstar was only getting worse.
Maybe it's time for him to join StarClan... But not if I can help it. Hollystorm gritted her teeth and went back to work, more determined now than before.
After Wildstar ahead finished his report, it was Bluestorm's turn.
"WindClan is well, and we have two new kits; Redkit and Hawkkit." She began, glancing down at an elder named Thunderstrike, who hesitated before nodding. "However an outbreak of greencough has swept through WindClan."
There were some gasps and murmurs below, but Redstar signaled for quiet, looking a little worried herself.
"Other than that, we are well..." She said, trembling slightly. Then she let Lakestar speak.
"Cats of Clans, last gathering we had decided to have another Daylight gathering. It will take place in two moons exactly, three sunrises before that Gathering." She meowed. BlueStorm's ears pricked. Daylight Gathering? The last one had been before Buzzstar and Whitestar and Ashstar, when Onestar was leader of WindClan. She only knew so much.
"The Gathering has ended." Wildstar declared, jumping down from his branch. Bluestorm followed, signaling WindClan to leave as well. They waited for ShadowClan to leave, before padding off the island toward camp.
Lilystem, Buzzstar's mate, burst into the clearing and raced toward the medicine den. "H-Hollystorm! Is he better?"
Hollystorm's green eyes were dark with sadness. Everything I do, it won't work!" She half-wailed half-murmured. Lilystem looked at her paws.
"I know you're doing your best." She murmured, glancing at Buzzstar. "I hope it isn't too late yet..."
"Too late for what?" Bluestorm entered the den.
"For Buzzstar..."
