A/N: So umm, I'm gonna continue this now. Sadly enough I don't own the Warriors books so ya.
Staying with RiverClan
The Gathering didn't have any issues, even when Onestar, Firestar, and Blackstar mentioned that the rouges in their Clans where warriors except for Mosspaw. Loudpaw sat between Icefire and Hawkpaw. Icefire made sure to keep close to him while Hawkpaw leaned against Mosspaw and Tangleclaw sat a little ways away with Sandfire.
Loudpaw guessed that Leopardstar decided not to mention the sign Willowshine had gotten just before the cats got to the island. He and Hawkpaw shared a glance. She shook her head and muttered, "If Leopardstar and Willowshine want to tell the other Clans they will."
Icefire and Mosspaw glanced at their mates and tilted their heads sideways. Both RiverClan rouges shook their heads and turned back to face their leader. Leopardstar had finished her bit when Willowshine stood.
"Leopardstar?" She asked her pelt bristling, "May I speak?"
"Is it about the sign?" Replied the she-cat. When her medicine cat nodded she said, "Go ahead."
Willowshine hopped up on the lowest branch of the tree and said, in a clear voice, "Right before we got here, StarClan sent me a vision of two she-cats leaving from this Gathering going with RiverClan to their camp and then heading to the mountains to help the Tribe of Rushing Waters. I don't know who these cats were but I've discussed it with the other medicine cats: these she-cats know who they are and they know what to do."
Jayfeather stood, "I think that these she-cats are the rouges!" He said suddenly. Every pair of eyes were on Loudpaw and his friends. "Could it be?" Jayfeather was looking at his apprentice knowingly.
Tangleclaw bowed her head and motioned with her tail for Sandfire to trade Icefire spots. They did and the two she-cats stood side by side, "Jayfeather, you are right." She paused and looked at the two WindClan rouges. They both bowed their heads.
"We were told by Mosspaw and Sandfire that the Tribe is in trouble and we were needed to help them." Icefire said coldly, "We have more experience than the toms do." A few cats snickered and Icefire hissed, "We decided that we would go after we spoke to our leaders."
Tangleclaw strode forward and leaped lightly over the cats in her way. She sat beside the deputies and looked straight up at Firestar, "May I go Firestar?" Firestar about fell out of the tree when he saw her leap over the Clan cats, but he nodded and she purred, "Thank you Firestar."
Icefire had followed her sister by weaving through the cats, "Blackstar?" She asked. He jumped out of the tree and flicked her with his tail, "May I go too?"
Blackstar looked at her for a second, "If you want to go, then go. I won't stop you, anyway you need to be away from the Clan for a bit so yes leave."
Icefire and Tangleclaw looked worried. The other leaders leaped down and gathered their cats. Willowshine jumped down lightly and blinked at the she-cats thankfully. They followed her to the bridge and watched as the others leaped up. Hawkpaw and Mosspaw walked up beside them with the others shortly behind.
Sandfire brushed his muzzle against Tangleclaw's and twined his tail with hers, "Be safe my love." He muttered. She purred a reply and stepped away hesitantly. She flicked her tail-tip and the six rouges flung themselves into the water and swam across easily.
Some Clan cats yowled in surprise. The six cats climbed onto the beach and shook off. Hawkpaw leaned against Mosspaw for a moment before he dashed off with his mentor and the other four cats watched them go. Soon the rest of WindClan bound after them. ThunderClan took a slower pace as they headed home. Some brushed against Tangleclaw as they went.
Jayfeather licked her ear, "Be safe and remember that the herbs in the mountains are different than the ones we use here." She nodded and licked his shoulder. He took off after his brother and they watched ShadowClan leave with a few glances at Icefire and mutterings of farewell.
The two she-cats followed Hawkpaw and Loudpaw to the camp. Willowshine and Mothwing let the two rouges sleep in their den for the night. In the morning Hawkpaw woke to the sounds of claws scraping wood and a quiet hum. Loudpaw jumped to his paws as he heard it too. They both smelled the air and knew it was Icefire.
The duo walked into the clearing and purred at the black warrior. "It's good to be my original color again!" The she-cat said happily as the apprentices came out. Hawkpaw flicked her right ear and Icefire bunched her back legs.
"Don't start a fight right here." Tangleclaw mewed around her bundle of herbs. She set them down , "Mothwing gave me these." She separated them for her and Icefire. They sat up and washed their ears.
"Have safe travels you two." Loudpaw said gruffly, "Come back to me safely, Icefire." She purred and twined her tail with his. "Promise me?"
"I promise I'll come back safely." She said with a hint of amusement in her voice. "Tangleclaw will keep me out of trouble won't you?" Tangleclaw nodded and kneaded the ground with her right paw and Icefire bound out of camp with Tangleclaw right behind her.
"Good-bye Hawkpaw and Loudpaw!" They called. The duo mewed their responses and set to their daily chores.
Around sun-high Hawkpaw exclaimed, "I should have gone too!" Loudpaw stopped her from leaving the camp. "I need to go!"
Loudpaw smacked her, "No you don't, you'll get in trouble and Arson and Pity told the Tribe cats only those two would go plus you aren't even a warrior yet." Hawkpaw's red tail swished.
"I'm going to hurt them when they get back." She muttered glaring at the entrence of the camp. Loudpaw sighed.
"If you were after me I would be really scared because you are the female Eye of Storm and know how to use your claws."
"Oh hush South Wind." Hawkpaw snapped. She turned and walked back to the den.
"Okay don't come with me to ask Mosspaw and Sandfire a question." He shrugged and bound out of camp.
A/N: Sorry it took so long, I've been busy.
