This will be from Jayfeather's POV, and keep reviewing!
Disclaimer: I do not own warriors!
"You stay here and keep an eye on everything while I go to the gathering" mewed Jayfeather to Briarlight.
"Sure!" she replied. Jayfeather had taken Briarlight to the Moonpool at halfmoon and now she was accepted by Starclan. He padded out of the medicine cat den and could sense many cats waiting to go to the gathering.
Bramblestar padded out of the den and flicked his tail in order for everyone to follow him. Jayfeather started walking and soon sensed Lionblaze up ahead. He hurried to catch up with him.
"Hey, Jayfeather how's Briarlights training going?" mewed Lionblaze.
"Good" replied Jayfeather. He sighed. "I remember coming here with Hollyleaf" said Jayfeather sadly.
"Yeah, maybe there's a new star in Silverpelt now, watching over us" mewed Lionblaze. He looked up into the sky and then said "It seems like she came back only to go away."
Jayfeather agreed. "Watch out, for the Tree Bridge!" said Lionblaze.
"I know!" growled Jayfeather, crossly. He climbed up onto the Tree Bridge, the bark worn smooth by the water. Using his claws for grip, Jayfeather walked across.
"Ahh!" squealed Molepaw as she scrambled to get a hold. She skidded off the bridge. Grumpily, Jayfeather caught her by the scruff, a mouse-length away from the water.
"Watch where you're going, kid!' muttered Jayfeather angrily.
"Sorry, Jayfeather" mumbled Molepaw dejectedly.
"Hey! No need to get grumpy!' said Poppyfrost, her mother. She wrapped her tail protectively around Molepaw. Jayfeather jumped off the Tree Bridge and glared at Lionblaze. As if to say, see I don't need your help. He waited as the last of ThunderClan got off the Tree Bridge. Jayfeather padded into the clearing. RiverClan, WindClan and ShadowClan were already there. He could tell this Gathering was different from the last. Many cats from different clans were mingling and sharing battle scars from the war. A group of apprentices were chatting about everything that had happened lately. I guess the Dark Forest war has brought the clans closer together, thought Jayfeather. He sensed the medicine cats nearby and padded over to them.
"I guess, I believe in Starclan now!" Mothwing was saying as Jayfeather joined the group. "Welcome, Jayfeather!" mewed Mothwing.
"How's things in your clan?" asked Kestrelflight.
"Good, but Firestar is dead" replied Jayfeather.
The medicine cats bowed their heads. "He was a good leader' said Littlecloud.
"He will be missed" mewed Willowshine.
"Also, I have got myself an apprentice!" mewed Jayfeather.
"Wow, that's great! What's her name?" said Mothwing.
"Briarlight' answered Jayfeather.
"Is she here?" asked Littlecloud.
"No, she is needed at camp to keep an eye on things, but maybe next time you can meet her," mewed Jayfeather.
The leaders jumped up onto the rock and motioned for silence. Soon the talk died down to a quiet murmur. Jayfeather noticed that instead of Blackstar, Rowanclaw was up there with the other leaders. Mistystar stepped forwards to speak.
"This greenleaf has been plentiful for RiverClan and we have only had a few disturbances from Twolegs." She mewed before stepping back. Next Onestar stepped forwards.
" WindClan is strong and we have been blessed by an abundance of new apprentices. Icypaw, Smallpaw and Harepaw!" said Onestar as the the clans cheered. He nodded towards Rowanclaw.
"I am sad to announce that Blackstar lost his last life to a fox attack. I have been to the Moonpool and received my nine lives. I will now be known as Rowanstar" he said.
The leader bowed their heads and Onestar said "He will be missed, good luck to you in the future." Rowanstar nodded respectfully. Now it was Bramblestars turn to speak.
" Greetings, I am also sad to announce that Firestar lost his last life in the Dark Forest war a while ago" Bramblestar mewed.
"He was one of the greatest leaders" murmured Mistystar sadly.
" Also we have a new medicine cat apprentice, Briarlight although she can't be here tonight" said Bramblestar. Everyone cheered. Bramblestar jumped off the rock and said. "Come on, ThunderClan!"
Jayfeather said. "Bye" to Mothwing, Willowshine, Kestrelflight, and Littlecloud. He then followed the rest of his clan back to camp.
Soon Jayfeather arrived back. He padded into the medicine cats den.
Almost as soon as he set foot in the den Briarlight came out running. "Jayfeather! I checked on Cinderheart who stayed behind because she wasn't feeling well…" she said.
"And…" Jayfeather said,
"Cinderheart's expecting kits!" yowled Briarlight!
Wow exciting! Keep reviewing to find out what happens next! Also first one to review this chapter gets to have their cat mentioned as one of Cinderhearts kits!
