Mudtail sat down and sighed. He had been best friends for Adderflame since she was a kit. They loved each other, she was loyal and great to the relationship; but she gave it up.
Tigerpaw dashed over to Mudtail with a bird in her hand. "Here you go, Mudtail." She purred.
Mudtail looked over at Tigerpaw. "Thanks." He said, then took a bite out of the bird.
Tigerpaw looked at Mudtail. She knew that he felt sad, very sad. "What wrong?" Tigerpaw asked. The brown cat looked at the young apprentice, then took a deep breath of pain to the heart.
"Adderflame..." He sighed. "Thats all. On a full moon. Well... Peachstar will tell us to go."
Peachstar wagged her tail, telling all of the cats to go.
Mudtail and Tigerpaw ran to the leader while Mosspaw tried to run faster then a lion, but she tripped. Then she got back up and slowly walked, while Bluepaw and Adderflame walked slower then a snail.
Lilycloud and Fernclaw ran to Mosspaw, then walked with her.
Mudtail was used to walking through the field, but he had to walk on the border. Tigerpaw sniffed her nose. Mudtail looked at her. "Do you smell anything?" He asked. Tigerpaw smiled and nodded. "My sisters!" Tigerpaw purred.
Mudtail smiled as he started to see the pack of NightClan warriors. She noticed Shadowpaw and Everpaw turn around. "Tigerpaw!" The two smiled.
Tigerpaw run to her sisters. "Hello! How is NightClan?" Tigerpaw asked. Shadowpaw smiled. "Awesome! My mentor is so nice." Shadowpaw purred. Everpaw nodded. "Same. How about yours?" She asked. Tigerpaw nodded. "He is amazing!" Tigerpaw purred.
"He?" Everpaw asked. "Mudtail!" Tigerpaw purred.
Everpaw and Shadowpaw smiled. "Lucky." She purred.
"Who else is going?" Tigerpaw asked as they almost reached the island.
"Nightstar, Dappleleaf, Ivybreeze, Glazepaw, Lightpaw, Firepaw, and Songstream." Shadowpaw purred.
Tigerpaw smiled as she saw Peachstar, Nightstar, Ashstar, and Flightstar went onto the branches.
"All cats from all clans, welcome to the gathering. We have two new warriors, Mudtail and Adderflame, and one new apprentice, Tigerpaw. Mudtail and Adderflame returned safely back home at the end of their journey." Peachstar annouced.
Nightstar smiled. "I got my nine lives a little while ago and retrieved the name of Nightstar. I gave Songstream the job of deputy, and Ivybreeze the job of a medicine cat. We have a few new warriors, Hollyflower, Lionfeather, Skymist, Nightpelt,Dappleleaf, and Frostleap. We also have a few new apprentices, Glazepaw, Firepaw, Lightpaw, Shadowpaw, and Everpaw." Nightstar annouced.
Ashstar blinked and mewed, "We have one new warrior, Flowerheart, and Clawtear gave birth to Bumblefall's new kits, Flowkit and Breezekit." She purred, then nodded at Flightstar.
"We have two new warriors, Hawkmask and Hopeflower. We have three new apprentices, Bloodpaw, Cherrypaw, and Clawpaw. Hopeflower and Bloodpaw are now mates." Flightstar annouced. "The gathering is over." Flightstar purred, then all of the leaders jumped off of the branches.
"I'll see you at the border, tommorow." Tigerpaw whispered to Shadowpaw and Everpaw. The two nodded.
Tigerpaw couldn't let go of her sisters again! She took a glance at her mother, Nightstar, then her sisters. She sadly looked down at the ground, did she really want to live in WhiteClan? Of course she did.
Tigerpaw blinked at Shadowpaw and Everpaw and said her good-byes, then walked to Mudtail.
"It was fun!" Tigerpaw purred. Mudtail licked Tigerpaw."Yeah, it was."
Then the two went behind Peachstar and walked back to the Clan.
