Author's note: there was only one review. ONE!! And it was by my brother. He isn't Hawkpath in case you were wondering.
"All cats coming to the meeting come with me!" Shinestar yowled. Rainfire, Hawkpath, Swiftstep, Dewpaw, Squirrelheart, Birchclaw and Sprigstep gathered by their leader. Tanglefur stood next to her.
Barlypaw burst into the clearing. "Ripplegaze was attacked by a fox!" He screeched. Earlier Ripplegaze had taken Barlypaw and her own apprentice Ravenpaw out for hunting practice.
Just then Ripplegaze staggered into the clearing with Ravenpaw trailing behind, his ear nicked. The tip of Ripplegaze's tail was missing and blood was dripping out of the end. Her fur was matted with blood and she had a nasty looking bite on her leg.
"What happened?" Asked Shinestar her silver fur standing up on end.
"Barlypaw scented a fox and we followed the scent to its den. We decided it had left and we were going to report it when the fox showed up and attacked Ripplegaze." Ravenpaw answered for his mentor.
"Where's the fox now?" Shinestar demanded.
"We drove it off a bit, but it's still out there. We wanted to get Ripplegaze back to camp first." Ravenpaw replied.
Leafwhisker was already sniffing at Ripplegaze's wounds. "Come into my den and lie down, I'll fix you up." The two she-cats went into the medicine cats den.
Dapplepaw was looking at Ravenpaw.
"You're a good fighter Ravenpaw." She said.
"I need to... ah... have my ear looked at." Ravenpaw said fleeing to the medicine cat den. Warriors mrrowed in amusement at Ravenpaw's awkwardness.
"Let's go." Shinestar said amusement in her voice.
Rainfire followed Tanglefur to the open clearing where the Meetings were held. Shinestar paused. The warriors straightened their fur. Rainfire loved Meetings; they always gave him a thrill. He glanced over at Hawkpath. Her dark eyes were gleaming happily in the twilight.
Shinestar signaled with her tail and the cats of Darkclan streamed into the clearing.
