Lightpaw POV
I tremble with excitement as I wait for Stormstar to give the signal to charge down the ravine we were standing on and to Four-Oaks where the Meet-Moon was about to begin. The light of the full moon shone down on the LeopardClan patrol as we followed Stormstar down the ravine to my first Meet-Moon.
As we broke into the clearing the first thing I noticed was the scent and sight of many cats. I twitched my tail excitedly. The Meet-Moon was held every full moon when the Stars decreed that the three clans should meet under a truce that lasted for one night each moon, it was considered a great honor to be chosen to attend, especially for apprentices but it was something every apprentice and warrior experienced. I looked around the clearing and saw the large golden shapes of LionClan. In looks, LionClan was most like LeopardClan, differing only in size, the absence of spots, and the fluffy manes of male lions. TigerClan was here already too. I thought that the orange cats with black stripes were intimidating. A yowl drew my attention to the Sky Boulder- the large rock in the center of the clearing- where the three clan leaders stood side-by-side. I quickly found a spot beside Dapplepatch as the Meet-Moon began.
The LionClan leader- Sunstar- spoke first, his glorious mane gleaming silver in the moonlight, "LionClan is doing well, as green-leaf draws to an end prey is growing scarce but still we are full-fed." Sunstar dipped his head to the other leaders and stepped back.
Stormstar spoke next, "LeopardClan continues to thrive. We have two new warriors as well as a new apprentice. Nettlesting, Talloak, and Lightpaw are here tonight." I felt a flash of pride as the other clans called out our names. Nettlesting and Talloak had been made warriors earlier today and they looked pleased to be mentioned by Stormstar. I looked over at Emberspots and saw that his amber eyes were glowing with pride for his daughter and his former apprentice. I let out a soft purr, I can't wait until I'm a warrior! He'll be even prouder of me then! Stormstar stepped back.
The TigerClan leader-Swiftstar- stepped forward, the her blue eyes shone with wisdom beyond her years as she spoke quietly but proudly, "TigerClan is thriving as well. We have two new warriors this moon: Dayblaze and Beestripe." All eyes turned to two young warriors who sat side-by-side. Their odd golden pelts glowing silver in the moonlight, identical blue eyes shone nervously at the stares of the other cats. No cat cheered their names.
I leaned over to whisper to Dapplepatch, "Why isn't anybody cheering?"
Dapplepatch's blue eyes were sad and distant as she said, "They are Half-Clan. Their mother is Poppytail of TigerClan, their father is Raintail, the LionClan deputy."
I gasp, "But that's against the Warrior Laws!" in my shock I forget to keep my voice a whisper and I duck my head with embarrassment when more than a few heads turn to stare at me.
Dapplepatch whirls to face me, her blue eyes shining with anger, "Be quiet Lightpaw!" she snapped, then added in a softer voice, her eyes suddenly glowing with a far-off light, "Sometimes a cat can't help who she falls in love with."
The clearing fills with the voices of many cats as the clan leaders jump down from the Sky Boulder and the clans begin to mingle and share news.
A small LionClan tom approaches us. He's so small I that I think that he must be an apprentice. He dips his head cordially to Dapplepatch, "Greetings Dapplepatch." before turning his green eyes on me, "This must be Lightpaw."
Dapplepatch wraps her tail around me protectively and I squirm away from her, I'm not a kit anymore! Dapplepatch ignores my squirming and coolly returns the LionClan cat's greeting, "Tinyroar. How are things in LionClan?"
He's a warrior? But he's so small! Granted he's bigger than me and Dapplepatch but for a LionClan warrior he's awfully tiny. I think to myself. "Things are well. And in LeopardClan?" Tinyroar responds.
"Things are well." Dapplepatch responds. Tinyroar gives her a nod and glances at me one more time, a weird look in his green eyes that makes me want to press closer to Dapplepatch but I stand my ground and force myself to meet his eyes as he turns and walks away.
Once he is out of earshot I say, "He's a warrior? But he's so small for a LionClan cat!"
Dappleatch cuffs me around the ears and scolds me saying, "Lightpaw! Honestly, show some respect would you?" before shaking her head and going over to Emberspots who is talking with some TigerClan warriors.
I look around the clearing and spot Hawkpaw with a pretty TigerClan apprentice who I guess must be Ivypaw- the TigerClan Healer apprentice. Ivypaw is talking but Hawkpaw doesn't seem to be listening. Oddly this gives me a sense of relief. It's just because you're glad that he's not breaking the Warrior Laws. I tell myself but I'm not sure if I believe it. Before I can decide whether or not to head over to them Stormstar calls signaling the end of the Meet-Moon.
As I follow my clan mates I fall into step with Hawkpaw, "You know, if a pretty she-cat were talking to me I'd listen to her." I tease him.
Hawkpaw turns his blue eyes on me and I suppress a shiver, its like he can see me. I think. Hawkpaw stares blindly at me for a moment before replying, "Oh, you mean Ivypaw. Was she pretty? I didn't notice."
I snort and give him a playful shove, "Funny, Hawkpaw."
We continue on in silence for a bit when Hawkpaw said suddenly, "Anyways, if I could see I think you would be much prettier than Ivypaw." I look at him, surprised by the sudden compliment. I open my mouth to reply when Hawkpaw dashes away calling over his shoulder, "Race you back to camp!" I let out a playful growl before charging after him.
