ONTO THE STORY:
Cloudpaw huffed. After Airpaw had gone to see where Mintpaw was, Cloudpaw was left alone. She tried searching for Honeypaw, but a warrior named Dewsparkle had told her that her sister had gone hunting with Daypaw, and Skypaw.
Cloudpaw looked around the camp for something to do. Snowfall stepped up to her, and noticed how she looked.
"You alright?" asked the pure white warrior.
"Fine." replied Cloudpaw beginning to turn away.
Snowfall trotted to catch up with her. "Need to talk about anything?"
"I said I'm fine." Cloudpaw said, with a little to much force.
"Something has you in a foul mood." Snowfall persisted. She sounded so much like her mother... Cloudpaw to run, trying to escape her mentor's motherly voice.
"Fine then. Take me to the Gathering. " Cloudpaw said, realizing she had already ventured half-way through the territory.
"I... I'll talk to Spraystar about it." Snowfall promised. She turned from the black apprentice and headed back towards camp.
Cloudpaw felt lonely again. She thought of Honeypaw felt something warm but violent in her heart. What was it? Anger? No, it was jealousy. She shook her head and headed back to camp.
*Some time later*
Before the moon reached its highest peak when they had to leave for the Gathering, Spraystar had announced who would be going.
"I will take Snowfall, Dewsparkle, Redclaw, Patchfur, Cinnamon, West, Thunderstrike, Duskpool, Birdsong, Robinwing, Icestream, Cherrypaw, Mintpaw, Airpaw, Cloudpaw, Honeypaw and Daypaw." Spaystar announced. "Oh, and Icestream, and Smokepuff."
So now, Cloudpaw was standing beside her sister for the Gathering.
"I can't wait! Who do you think we'll see?" Honeypaw said excitedly, jumping up and down.
"Honestly, I have no idea. Maybe we'll see Rockfang?" Cloudpaw suggested. Cinnamon had told her stories about the old brown tom. Rockfang had saved WindClan from a battle against and alliance between foxes and a badger. Cinnamon had told her how he was and apprentice when she had jumped onto the badger's muzzle, and attacked the fox at the same time.
"I was still a rogue at the time." Cinnamon had said. "Rockpaw turned from Fallingstone and ran strait at the badger. He jumped on the badger's muzzle, and turned himself around. The badger tried to throw him off, but then he started to attacked the fox, clawing at his eyes, he made the fox blind and it ran off, screeching in pain. The badger was still trying to shake him of, but Rockpaw held on with all his might, and started to claw at the beast's back. It screeched but wouldn't give in. When the badger didn't move Rockpaw had a split second chance and bit of the badger's tail. The earned the name Rockfang after the teeth he used to send the badger away for good."
Spraystar called together the cats she had chosen and they set off. Honeypaw was chattering about what would happen at the Gathering the whole way. When the cats crossed the border with ShadowClan, Cloudpaw couldn't help but feel uneasy even with the truce.
Once they arrived at the meeting place, Cloudpaw was amazed. There were so many cats there. She smelled the smell of rabbits and wind, and she guessed that it was WindClan. She also smelled something like frogs and swamp. ShadowClan was there too.
There was a rather large clearing with a giant Mahogany tree and a boulder that was made out of red stone. It smelled funny, but Cloudpaw guessed that was just the Clan scented meshed together. A large gray and black tom and a tabby and white she-cat where sitting on top of the red boulder, and Spraystar joined them.
"Stripestar and Fogstar." she whispered. She didn't know Clan leaders could look so scary! Fogstar had a scar over his eye, and Stripestar had odd marking on her back from a battle.
She was soon distracted, though, when a light gray-blue, silver and white she-cat started padding towards her and Honeypaw from the mass of ShadowClan cats. She stopped in front of the sisters and bent down, then smiled sadly.
"Hello, beautiful apprentices." she said sadly, but with a hint of hope. "I'm Splashheart of ShadowClan."
I knew I didn't forget about Splashheart! You guys shouldn't either, she plays an important part in this story.
QUESTION OF THE DAY: Make up a mini story of what your OC would feel like at their first gathering. And, who do you think Splashheart is?
