Okay, so Fernpaw isn't blind, I accidentally put that in.

"And the cats going to the gathering tonight will be Shortclaw, Gingerpaw, Darkfur,

Icebird, Flametail, Gorsewhisker, and Fernpaw." Stripestar meowed, ending the clan

meeting and Gingerpaw bounded over to Fernpaw. "Are you excited for your first

gathering?"

The young apprentice twitched her whiskers nervously. "Yes I am excited, but I'm also

kind of nervous. At least I'll be with you." She replied warmly. Gingerpaw touched noses

with the gray she-cat and backed away, embarrassed. Flametail padded over to the two

apprentices and nudged them to the camp entrance. The group of cats going to the

gathering made it to the Thunderpath and Gingerpaw could smell Fernpaw's fear-scent,

so he brushed against her side to comfort her. They stopped at the edge of the harsh

smelling black ground. Gingerpaw flinched as a monster flew past them and Fernpaw

leapt backwards. Gingerpaw had already crossed the Thunderpath a few times, but

Fernpaw hadn't yet. Shortclaw, Darkfur, Gorsewhisker, and Gingerpaw raced across

when they didn't see any monsters coming. Gingerpaw watched anxiously as Stripestar

crossed, along with Flametail. Icebird motioned for Fernpaw to go and the apprentice

started to run across the Thunderpath. Suddenly, a monster hit her with a glancing blow.

Gingerpaw gritted his teeth and gasped as his best friend collapsed to the ground. Icebird

grabbed the little cat by her scruff and dragged her back onto Shadowclan territory. "I'll

take her back to camp and take care of her until you get back. I'm sure she'll be fine."

The white she-cat called. Darkfur shook her head. "No she won't. I need to take care of

her." The medicine cat meowed quietly to her leader. Stripestar nodded and Darkfur

bounded across the Thunderpath to her new patient. Icebird helped her drag Fernpaw

back to camp and Gingerpaw watched them disappear into the darkness. Stripestar turned

to his warriors. "Let's go."

Gingerpaw's jaw dropped at the harsh carelessness of his leader, but he followed him

towards Fourtrees.
