Ch 7: The Gathering

Fallenpaw's POV

"I can't believe we get to spy on the SouthClans!" I whispered excitedly to Hopepaw.

"Yea! I hope they don't find us though." Just then, there was a call and the rushed into the clearing.

"Now, I want everyone I have selected to follow me to this Gathering to follow me. We are leaving!" The apprentices followed quickly.

Soon, they reached the clearing in which there was supposed to be the Gathering. In the clearing, were LOTS of cats. On a giant rock in the center stood four cats.

"Hide in the bushes around the clearing!" came the command.

"Let us begin!" a flame-colored cat called to the cats. They immediately stopped talking.

"He must be a leader," I told Hopepaw. She nodded.

"ThunderClan has two new apprentices!" the flame colored tom called, with a hint of pride.

"Their names are Squirrelpaw and Leafpaw. Leafpaw is the Medicine Cat apprentice." he said.

"Other than that, we have nothing to report." A cat with black and white smudges walked up.

"WindClan has to report... I smell cats that are not in the Clans! Search the bushes!" he yowled. Within seconds, I felt myself being pulled from my hiding spot, along with others.

"Who are you?" Silentstar padded forward.

"I am Silentstar, leader of LifeClan. You have just pulled my Medicine Cat and my apprentices out into the open." she spoke. I saw all eyes on me. I smiled, or tried to at least.

"What do you mean, leader of LifeClan?" the fiery one asked.

"I meant, leader of LifeClan." she replied.

"He means, what in StarClan's name is LifeClan?" the spotted one said. I let out a semi-involuntary gasp. So did the other apprentices. Silentstar did not.

"I'm sorry. I forgot the SouthClans did not know about LifeClan. We live in the area beyond Highstones. We follow StarClan, and we have a prophecy dealing with you." she told the other leaders.

"We haven't heard a peep out of you. How should we know you aren't rouges?" the white one with black paws asked.

"I guess you could choose not to believe us, or you can believe that StarClan sent our Medicine Cat," she pointed her tail at Rainstorm, " a message that we were supposed to move into the land with you."

Firestar's POV

These cats were different. But I could not help but feel that this cat was telling the full truth. This silver she-cat leader reminded me of Bluestar, and I was believing. By the look on Tallstar's face, he believed it too. I turned to look at Leopardstar. She had a look of disbelief and maybe she thought it was true, somewhat in the middle. It was obvious that Blackstar was hostile to the group of cats.

"I think it would be a good idea to go back and discuss this with our Clans. I think we should meet again at the next Gathering. Now, let us talk among ourselves." I meowed. The other leaders nodded their consent, and watched as the cats below them talked among themselves.

Fallenpaw's POV

I was about to ask if we were alowwed to talk to the other cats, when she said we could. So I ran into the group of apprentices nearby.

"Hello!" I mewed as I walked. As soon as I said that, I was bombarded by stares.

"You're one of LifeClan, aren't you?" asked one that looked like the fire leader.

"Yes. I'm Fallenpaw." I told her.

"I'm Squirrelpaw of ThunderClan. This is my sister, Leafpaw. She's a Medicine Cat. That is Sorrelpaw and Whitepaw," she meowed. Then a cat with the a different scent said:

"My name is Crowpaw. I come from WindClan. And this is Dawnpaw and Lightpaw," the cat named Crowpaw mewed.

"I'm Brookpaw. I'm from RiverClan. And this is Barkpaw and Claypaw."

"I'm Yewpaw of ShadowClan." I called to the other LifeClan apprentices over.

"This is Hopepaw, Silentpaw and Twilightpaw." They were about to say hi when Silentstar called for us to leave. As we rushed away, I told them, "I can't wait for the next one!"

Okay, there, I gave you another chapter. Happy?
