Chapter 3

Silentwater was chosen to go to the gathering along with Palmpaw. Blackfeather, their deputy, was talking silently with Jadestar as they walked.

"Are you excited about being announced as the medicine cat?" Palmpaw was asking Silentwater. The white she-cat purred.

"No." she mewed sarcastically. She was actually bursting with excitement at her new rank. Palmpaw laughed, and then set her gaze on Skywing, on of the younger warriors. She sighed.

"He's so handsome." she whispered. Silentwater purred. Palmpaw had a crush on Skywing for such a long time; she couldn't even remember when it had first started. She hoped that he felt the same for her. They would be so cute together!

Jadestar flicked her tail and the assembled cats stopped at the top of the hill that overlooked the gathering. Many cats were already there. Silentwater felt excitement bubbling up inside her.

Jadestar's tail flicked once again, and the MoonClan cats bounded down into the clearing. Silentwater padded proudly into the clearing, with her loyal friend Palmpaw at her side. She spied Nightwing, the newly appointed medicine cat of WaterClan, and padded over to her.

"Hey Silentwater!" she mewed. "How's life as a medicine cat going?" Silentwater purred. It seemed as if the news had spread quickly.

"Its going pretty well, I guess." Silentwater answered. "I'm still feeling pretty lost without Mapleclaw, but I'm sure I'll get along." Nightwing nodded.

"He was a great medicine cat." she mewed, her eyes clouded with grief. "But I'm sure you'll be a great medicine cat also." she touched her nose comfortingly to Silentwater's shoulder, and then padded away.

Silentwater turned to see Palmpaw staring absentmindedly after Skywing. Silentwater purred.

"Go and talk to him." she mewed. "I'll find something else to do." Palmpaw smiled at her and padded over to Skywing.

Silentwater turned around to survey the clearing with her crystal blue eyes. All the friends she had made at the last gathering were talking with other cats and she didn't want to interfere.

She turned to see a black tom gazing at h er. She smiled curiously and padded over to him. When she was just a fox-length away, he seemed to realize that she was coming.

"H-hi." the tom mewed. "I'm Blackheart." Silentwater purred at how nervous he sounded.

"Im Silentwater." she purred. "Were you staring at anything in particular?" She giggled a bit. She saw his ear tips turn red and she laughed.

"What clan are you from?" she asked, seeing that he seemed a bit embarrassed.

"FireClan." he mewed. "What about you?"

"MoonClan." Silentpaw mewed. "I'm the new medicine cat."

"Oh." Blackheart looked put-out. "Well, I should go." he padded away, his tail drooping. Silentwater almost wanted to tell him to come back, but she knew she shouldn't. If he wanted to go he could.

The leaders yowled to start the gathering, and Silentwater found Palmpaw.

"Guess what?" Palmpaw mewed excitedly.

"What!" mewed Silentwater. Palmpaw did a little twirl of happiness.

"Skywing asked me if I wanted to come hunting with him tomorrow!" Palmpaw mewed happily. Silentwater purred, and pressed her face into her friend's flank.

"Good for you!" she mewed. "He probably likes you." Palmpaw blushed, flicking her whiskers in embarrassment.

"Speaking of crushes." giggled Silentwater. "This FireClan tom was blushing just when I talked to him!" Palmpaw giggled.

"To bad you're a medicine cat!" she joked. "What was his name?"

"It was Blackheart." she mewed.
"Ooh." Palmpaw mewed. "I've heard of him. He's cute." she flicked her tail. "But he's FireClan, and you're a medicine cat, and it could never be!" Silentwater hissed playfully and whacked her friend with a sheathed paw.

The two she-cats sat down to listen to the gathering. Silentwater kept glancing in Blackheart's direction. She didn't mean to do this, it just kept happening. A couple times the two cats made eye contact, and Blackheart would look away quickly.

Silentwater was amused, but something made her heart beat fast every time their eyes met.

Jadestar spoke first.

"I'm sure many of you have heard that our beloved medicine cat, Mapleclaw, has passed away of an unknown disease." she yowled. Most of the cats in the clearing bowed their heads in grief. "But we have a new medicine cat now. Mapleclaw's apprentice, Silentpaw, is now Silentwater." I stood up, my chest held out proudly, as the surrounding cats turned their gazes on me. Many cats cheered for me. I sat back down.

"Thank you Jadestar, I'm sure she'll make a great medicine cat." Mountainstar of WaterClan stepped forward, his great tabby pelt rippling over his strong muscles. He spoke of nothing important, just a couple of new apprentices. Then Sandstar of FireClan stepped forward.

"MoonClan has been stealing our prey!" he yowled, his green eyes glinting in anger. MoonClan all yowled in defiance and disbelief. Silentwater yowled as well. How could Sandstar accuse them of stealing their prey right off the bat?

Jadestar stepped forward, her hackles raised.

"Why do you think that we have been stealing your prey?" she hissed. "MoonClan have not crossed a mouse-hair into your territory!" Sandstar hissed at her.

"We have found the remains of a rabbit in our territory." he yowled. "It was covered with MoonClan scent!" The MoonClan cats yowled out in outrage.

"How do you know that it was not a MoonClan rabbit, and your warriors have been crossing into our territory to hunt them?" Jadestar yowled. "You should not be jumping to conclusions, Sandstar!" Sandstar growled at the pretty tabby.

"You will not have heard the end of this, Jadestar." he hissed. "Come, FireClan."

The ginger tom leapt down off the great rock, and lead his clan away from the clearing. Silentwater caught a glance of Blackheart looking over at her as he silently left with the FireClan cats.

Jadestar jumped down off the rock and padded out of the clearing, leading the MoonClan cats with her. Silentwater stood and padded slowly after her. The rest of the MoonClan cats followed slowly behind her, their tails twitching in outrage.

How was that?

I feel some trouble brewing with FireClan! My writers block is gone now. I thought of a whole plot!

Review please!
