Thanks for waiting; sorry it took so long for the next chapter! So here you go!
A few moons had passed since half-moon and it was time for the gathering. Dawnstripe, Cloverpaw, Lilyclaw and the other chosen cats waited at the camp entrance excluding Flamepaw and Briarpaw with their mentors. Ashstar came out of his den, went to the camp entrance and darted off wit a flick of his tail.
When they arrived RiverClan and WindClan were already assembled in the clearing chatting about. Lilypaw waited for Ashstars signal, then ran into the clearing beside Dawnstripe.
" We'll talk later!" Cloverpaw called to Brarpaw and Flamepaw. They nodded and dashed off.
Cloverpaw followed Dawnstripe over to the other medicine cats.
Willowfoot, Marshpaw and Sparrowflight were there taking about. " Hello!" Cloverpaw greeted them.
" Hi" Marshpaw called back and trotted over. While Cloverpaw talked with Marshpaw and Briarpaw went over to talk to the WindClan apprentice Swiftpaw. Flamepaw looked around and spotted a lonely RiverClan apprentice and padded over.
" Hello" he meowed to the pretty brindle she-cat.
" Hi" She replied and smiled.
" I'm Flamepaw" he meowed.
" I'm Dewpaw" she meowed and blushed. Flamepaw smiled and meowed
" The meeting about to start, would you like to sit together?" Hoping she would say ' yes'. Dewpaw though for a moment then nodded.
Flamepaw led Dewpaw over to the back of the crowd and sat down.
Dewpaw followed and sat closely beside him their pelt touching, Dewpaw felt a tingle up her spine. Flamepaw blushed and looked over at Dewpaw and smiled thinking to himself ' What a beautiful she-cat'.
ShadowClan arrived without much notice. Cloverpaw chattered with Marshpaw until the meeting started by Ashstar yowling summons the the cats below and stared to yowl, " Prey is running well, there is no sickness and we recently made 3 new apprentice. Briarpaw, Flamepaw and Cloverpaw; with Cloverpaw being our medicine cat apprentice." Cloverpaw blushed at all the attention as unfamiliar eyes looked in her direction. Ashstar stepped back and the other leaders took their turns telling news.
Lightstar, leader of RiverClan announced 2 new apprentices. Dewpaw and Treepaw.
Dewpaw blushed as the cats turned her way, Flamepaw leaned in closer. Dewpaw muttered
" Lightstar is mine and Treepaw's mother" Flamepaw nodded and sighed.
Once the cats turned away and the other leaders announced their news Flamepaw turned to Dewpaw and whispered
" If you like me, meet me at the stepping stones out of sight." And padded over to his mentor who asked
" How was your first gathering?" Flamepaw smiled and replied to Coalblaze with a gleam in his eyes
" Wonderful".
Not to long later, Ashstar yowled to ThunderClan that they were leaving. Flamepaw padded up to Briarpaw and Cloverpaw who were already chattering away " Hey!" He called as he padded up to them and told them about his gathering experience
" Mine was great too!" Cloverpaw beamed and Briarpaw nodded. The only thing Flamepaw didn't tell them was, his new love. He thought about exactly that as he padded back to camp. Cloverpaw watched him intensively but quickly returned to her chat with Briarpaw.
