5. Chapter 5

Okay, this was a bit of a failure of a chapter for me, dunno if I'm actually gonna finish it or not. Maybe I'll try to if I get enough reviews asking for it…

Dovepaw twitched in her sleep. She was dreaming that Hollyleaf came out of one of the holes she and Lionblaze had covered. They had only found three because it had been getting late. It was the day after the experience with Hollyleaf.

Hollyleaf stalked out of the hole and hissed at Dovepaw that she'd stolen her spot in the prophecy. The anger in the black she-cat's green eyes was blazing. Hollyleaf hissed and jumped at Dovepaw. There was a sudden hard push against her side and she woke up. Ivypaw stood over her.

"Firestar called a Clan meeting," Ivypaw announced then stalked out of the den.

Dovepaw sat up and licked her ruffled fur. The dream was burned into her mind; it sent a shiver down her back. She followed her sister out of the den into the clearing. Cats were gathering with Firestar on the High Ledge.

"Cats of ThunderClan, the Gathering is tonight. I will announce those cats who have been chosen for the Gathering," Firestar announced.

Excited murmers spread through the crowd. Dovepaw's ears pricked and a surge of excitement flooded over her. She wanted to go to the Gathering, and maybe, just maybe, Ivypaw would come too.

"Those cats who will be representing ThunderClan tonight will be Sandstorm, Cloudtail, Thornclaw, Icecloud, Blossomfall, Lionblaze, Cinderheart, Ivypaw, and Dovepaw. Be prepared to leave soon!" Firestar announced.

Dovepaw's heart soared. Her sister had been chosen for the Gathering! She hurried over to the fresh kill pile and snatched up a fat vole. She had to eat well for the Gathering.

After eating, the patrol headed out for the Gathering. Dovepaw trotted happily side by side with Lionblaze. Although the bad feelings coming from Lionblaze dampened Dovepaw's spirit, she was a little comforted that Firestar was going to mention Hollyleaf to the Gathering.

She watched Firestar trotting along at the lead. She could see the tension in his strides as they got closer to announcing the return of Hollyleaf.
