Breezefeather
"So Smokestorm, Mossfeather, Flamefoot, Mousetail, Larkclaw, Sandwing, Barktail, Blackscar, Breezefeather, Vixenclaw, Sparrowfur, Waspheart, Runningwillow, Ivypaw, Hawkpaw, Fallenpaw, and Gorsepaw. Will come to the gathering." Mothfur was announcing because, Owlstar's kits would be born soon. Breezefeather saw disappointment in Darkpelt's, Eaglewing's and Bumbleheart's eyes. She could tell that they wanted to go to but, they weren't chosen.
"Tell me everything when you get back ok Breezefeather."
"Don't worry you three I will and I promise to give you every detail."
"Ok then see you later."
"WindClan time to go!" Mothfur began to head out to the gathering place with the chosen WindClan cats close behind. They finally crossed the tree bridge and started to settle down and talk to the RiverClan cats.
"ThunderClan and ShadowClan are late again! This is the second time what's taking them so long?!"
"Yah he's right where are they?! They should've been here a while ago."
"They are right Mothfur", Troutstar said loud enough for everyone to hear," maybe we should start without them?"
The brown tom sighed, "I would like that but, you know we can't Troutstar it's wrong."
"You're right I guess we can wait a little longer..but not much."
"Very well that sounds reasonable." After what seemed like forever the cats started to scent the other clans. Through the tree bridge Oakstar appeared with his clan behind him. Soon his cats started flooding into the clearing and the cats of WindClan and RiverClan were shocked. "Wait where is Yellowstar?!" The handsome brown tom smiled coldly.
"You see Yellowstar has retired and she is now Yellowflower. Oh, and did I mention that ShadowClan and ThunderClan are the same clan?" Shocked yowls came from all the cats in the clearing.
"Slience", Troutstar yelled barely audible. "Oakstar what is the meaning of this?!"
"Well you old fool ShadowClan and ThunderClan have joined forces and now we are the most powerful cats in the entire forest!"
"I see then", the silvery tom sighed heavily, "I guess we should get the gathering started then."
Maplewing
She was taken back by Oakstar's remark.
"I guess I shall start then. All is well in RiverClan and one of our queens, Poppyfoot, has had three healthy kits. We expect more by the end of this moon. Prey is running well and we have two new warriors, Hawkfeather and Lakewing."
"Hawkfeather Lakewing! Hawkfeather Lakewing!" Everyone cheered for the bran new warriors. Troutstar singled to Mothfur so he could announce.
"Much like RiverClan we have two new warriors, Mousetail and Larkclaw." Once more the clan cats cheered for the warriors.
"We also have two new apprentices, Ivypaw and Hawkpaw. Now as you can see Owlstar isn't here with us tonight. She is expecting kits and they'll be born soon. Oakstar it's your turn."
"Thank you Mothfur and tell Owlstar I wish her well. We have four new warriors, Honeywing, Blazeclaw, Cindertail, and Spottedwing." Congratulated mews rippled through the crowd as the new warrior's names were called.
"Also we have new apprentices, Wolfpaw, Foxpaw, Colverpaw, Morningpaw, Snowpaw, and Sunpaw. Sunstripe and Hazelheart also have had kits. Hazelheart had three and Sunstripe had four. We have one more depressing announcement. Nettleclaw has died. We all morn his death and hope he has made it to StarClan." The cats all bowed their heads in respect for the fallen elder.
"I think we can close this gathering what do you think Mothfur and Troutstar?"
"He's right the gathering is over. WindClan time to go." Maplewing watched as the WindClan cats left. She spotted Breezefeather and bounded over to her.
"Hey Breezefeather come here." The blue-grey tabby quickly ran towards the ThunderClan cat.
"What is it Maplewing?"
"It's about the prophecy. We still don't know what it means and who has what part." The golden eyed she-cat sighed heavily.
"I guess we can have another meeting in the next couple of days. You can tell Marshclaw and I guess I'll have to find Dewfur."
"Ok agreed. Should we meet at the same place as last time?"
"I suppose that would be easiest. We meet in five days. See you then I guess, I better go."
"By see you soon." After Breezefeather had left Maplewing noticed Oakstar watching her. The bulky tom rushed over to the mottled warrior.
Marshclaw
The other cats had just left for the gathering and Marshclaw was in camp guarded by loyal ThunderClan warriors. He pulled a plump vole from the fresh kill pile and bounded over to Cinderflame.
"So when do you think our kits are coming?"
"I don't know. Maybe in the next moon or so. I just wish they were born in ShadowClan. You know what annoys me?"
"No what?"
"Well how everyone thinks we're evil." Marshclaw nodded in agreement.
"I know it's a bit stupid but, it's not our fault we wtly ere following our leaders were tyrants. We had to follow them because, it's in the warrior code."
"You're right and now look at the ones who are being the evil ones."
"Exactly well, I'm heading off to bed. See you tomorrow."
"Yah you too." After Cinderflame disappeared into the nursery Marshclaw finished his mouse and headed off to his nest. What felt like seconds was longer. Before he knew it he had woke up after the cats from the gathering returned. Marshclaw tried to block out the sounds of the returning cats but, all efforts failed.
"Marshclaw come here." Reluctantly he opened his eyes to see who was talking to him. He say the glittering eyes of Maplewing. Staggering to his paws he walked over to the she-cat.
"What is it", he mewed drowsily.
"It's about the prophecy."
"What about it?"
"Well Breezefeather and I agreed to meet in the next couple of days. So are you coming?"
"Well I kinda have to you know. If it's about the prophecy."
"I know I know. We're meeing in five days."
"Got it.", Marshclaw said as he padded back to his nest. He settled and slowly drifted to a peaceful sleep.
Dewfur
The moon glowed brightly above the group of cats. At one end queens were playing with their kits while at the other mates were chatting to each other. Standing mightily on top of a rock was an elderly grey she-cat. She gazed around at each of the cats under her leadership before beginning.
"Before we began I'm happy to say that I'm proud to be your leader, honored even. Now how will like to start?" A large grey-brown tom stood up.
"Ash if you don't mind can I start?"
"Why of corse Trout."
"Well I've seen some recent…disturbing activity over with the clans. It seems that Oakstar of ThunderClan has taken over ShadowClan. That is all I have to report."
"Thank you Trout I'll make sure we keep an eye on it. Who's next?"
"Oh, can I go?! Please, Please, Pleasee?!" Ash chuckled at Sleet.
"Of course I would love for you to go."
"Well today I-I saw a mouse and it had large claws and it was the size of a twoleg monster! Then I caught it and ate it all by myself!"
"Hey that wasn't interesting", Dusk called to his brother.
"Well…I want to see you do better!"
"Well I can!"
"Can't!
"Can!"
"Can't!"
"Ca-", the bricking brothers stopped abruptly. Dewfur saw Stormy glare at her kits.
"Sorry about that Ash. We can continue now."
"You know kits will be kits. Now does anyone else want to go?"
"I would."
"Go ahead Jasper." The grey and white she-cat left her kits, Aspen, Snowy, and Sage with their father phantom.
"Well as you know Phantom and I were traveling alone before we came here. Well we met this kind, sweet kittypet named, Apple. She helped us get through the twoleg gardens and helped us find our way here. But that's not the only thing. She said she was having kits and her mate had died. Now you see her twoleg well he would beat on her and he rarely feeds her. We've tried many attempts to save her but as you can see they all failed. That's why we kept on disappearing throughout the day. Since I've had my kits I'm unable to go but now that you know can you please go help her. Phantom will show you where she is."
"I see thank you for telling us. We will send out a patrol as soon as possible." The rest of the night was uneventful and soon after they went to bed. He felt something deep down that troubled him but he didn't know what.
