Back in the ThunderClan camp Russetpaw, had been tired from the patrol, Squirrelflight and Brightheart had even taught them some fighting moves. All she wanted to do was eat some fresh kill, and take a nap. She looked over the the highledge, to see Firestar sitting on it as he did yesturday. His clan deputy, Brambleclaw was by his side both toms eyes were full of pride as they glanced around the clan camp. Firestar stood to her paws, "Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather benieth the highledge for a clan meeting." His yowl was powerful, and very demanding. Cats came from there dens, looking at their clan leader, the flame-colored tom had much respect from the cats of ThunderClan, once, long ago while Honeypaw was still a kittypet she had said that Firestar was a kittypet, and now look at him. He was a clan leader, it was as if he were a wild born clan cat. The tom looked around, as if he were searching for cats for this meeting. "Tomorrow is a full moon, and I've thought hard about who will be going." Firestar had seemed to be very pleased to be announcing these following warriors, Russetpaw had to replay each cats name in her mind so she knew who she may be travling with to meet the other clans.

Sandstorm

Brambleclaw

Graystripe

Cinderheart

Ivypaw

Jayfeather

Honeypaw

Russetpaw

Mousefur

So she would be going to the gathering after all, without Squirrelflight, or Brightheart. Speaking of Squirrelflight, and Brightheart the two warriors were proud of their apprentices. Squirrelflight licked Russetpaw's head, the she-cat bent her head low to hiss into her apprentices ear "Be good Russetpaw, do not tell any other clan cat to much information, they'll use it as a weakness against you, Firestar, and against ThunderClan." Her mentors words were true, when a cat thought about it, any weakness would be used against clanmates aswell as other clans. I cannot tell any cat I use to be a Kittypet. . Russetpaw nodded, then disapeared to locate Honeypaw, the apprentice was talking with Brightheart. She's being told the same. . Russetpaw awaited Brightheart to finish talking to Honeypaw, then she padded over to her best friend. The two were happy, but something didnt seem right with the way Honeypaw was acting now. .

The morning came faster then Russetpaw had wished, but the day of training had went by faster, the full moon was out and begining to rise to the middle of the sky, the cats Firestar had named were already at the camp entrance and ready to leave. Squirrelflight, and her sister Leafpool padded over to Russetpaw and Honeypaw, "Goodbye you two, be good and listen to everything you're told." Silently, Squirrelflight added, "Remember to not tell any cat, anything to important." Her apprentice nodded, and then padded off leaving the ThunderClan camp.

I will not fail you Squirrelflight. . Russetpaw thought bravely. She couldn't fail her mentor.

The clearing where the four clans held their gatherings was huge, trees rose above the opening, and and lake had protected the clans from twolegs. RiverClan had arrived, Russetpaw was talking with RiverClan apprentices, one named Silverpaw she had interduced herself to them, and they interduced themselves to Silverpaw. "Where are you from Russetpaw, and Honeypaw?" Silverpaw mewed, the young apprentice's eyes were gleaming. "Were of ThunderClan." Honeypaw mewed proudly. She had no shame in naming her new home quickly, as if it were the best of all four clans. The RiverClan apprentice purred proudly, Silverpaw must've thought it was cool that she'd met two new ThunderClan apprentices, could they be friends? You can have friends in other clans, but you're loyalty must remain in ThunderClan. Squirrelflight's words rung in her ears, so if Silverpaw wanted all three apprentices could be friends together for a very long time, at least, thats what Russetpaw had hoped silently inside of her young mind. A RiverClan warrior padded over to the three apprentices, her pelt was beautiful. A dapple golden pelt with blue eyes, who was this cat? The she-cat dipped her head, "Hello, I'm RiverClan's medicine cat. My name is Mothwing." Honeypaw, and Russetpaw returned their respect for the RiverClan medicine cat, "Silverpaw, who are you're friends?" Mothwing's eyes flickered over to the ThunderClan apprentices, she seemed friendly, and yet not friendly.

"This is Honeypaw," Silverpaw begun flicking her tail to the light brown tabby apprentice, Silverpaw then flicked her eyes over to the other ThunderClan apprentice, "And this is Russetpaw." Mothwing nodded her hello, the medicine cat was kind but, it was known that like her brother Hawkfrost who was dead. She had a good temper, but with her apprentice Willowshine. ShadowClan, and WindClan had finally arrived, the ShadowClan leader a large white tom with jet black paws, and amber eyes stood ontop of his tree branch that looked over the whole clearing yowled to silence the chatting cats. "ShadowClan thrives from the food we've recieved." The tom begun, he didn't seem to be bothered by growls of anger from the WindClan warriors, Russetpaw heard an apprentice of WindClan mummur something, a ShadowClan apprentice Starlingpaw had heard the disrespectful mummur. His mentor, Tawnypelt the sister of Brambleclaw snapped at her apprentice, just as the WindClans mentor, Webfoot had snapped at his apprentice. Blackstar gazed at the cats, his eyes were angry from the interuption, "I've given a thought, Rowanclaw has replaced Russetfur as ShadowClan deputy, but he is to fisety," He looked over to Tawnypelt his eyes actually calm and peaceful.

Firestar, Onestar, and Mistystar had announced how there clans were doing next, RiverClan's deputy Reedwhisker had died, and she had to make Swallowtail her new RiverClan deputy. Onestar hadn't anything sad to report to the clans, "Firestar, anything you wish to say?" Onestar mewed, the WindClan leader sat upon his tree branch and gazed at the flame-colored feline, "Yes, thank you Onestar." Firestar looked powerful, something seemed to be stronger about him now, stronger then what he was on the highledge. "ThunderClan had amazing news," He begun seeming to only care about one thing, even though he had many things he could report, like the two new apprentices, the arival of Moonkit, and much more. "Graystripe has returned to ThunderClan, he has escaped from the twolegs," Yowls of happiness arose from every clan, even Mistystar the leader of RiverClan seemed pleased to see Graystripe alive and well back in his birth clan, he must've been popular with all the cats.
