  1. -pads onto the island and looks around, sniffing for the other Clan's scent, and realizing we are the first ones here-

  2. -pads into the clearing on the island- There's no one else here. -purrs- I can't believe I'm finally at a Gathering! I can't wait to meet the other Clans' apprentices.

  3. -sits down at the base of the large tree in the middle of the clearing and looks up at the sky, my tail flicking-

  4. -enters the wide, open space, with only around half of my warriors, then calmly walks over to Redpaw-

  5. -notices Leafstar approaching me and forces a purr- Uh... Hi. -dips my head respectfully, my tail tip twitching nervously-

  6. -smiles, aware of Redpaw's nervousness- It's alright, the gathering is a truce for all Clans. I wouldn't dare harm you now. -purrs, though my purr has a sadistic sound to it-

  7. -laughs nervously- Yeah... -looks down at my paws-

  8. Hey, who's this? -pads up to them and looks at Redpaw with wide, curious eyes-

  9. -looks up and sees Moonpaw, startled by her sudden appearance- H-Hi! Who are you? -pauses, then realizes that I forgot to tell her my name- Oh. I-I'm Redpaw, by the way.

  10. -giggles, and gives Redpaw a friendly look- I'm Moonpaw. Nice to meet you! What Clan are you from? Judging from your scent... WindClan, maybe?

  11. -purrs- It's nice to meet you too! Yeah, I'm from WindClan. Are you from ThunderClan? It sounded like you know Leafstar.

  12. That's right, I'm from ThunderClan. Well, I guess I'm not from ThunderClan, I don't have ThunderClan blood, but Leafstar still let me join her Clan. -purrs- So, what's WindClan like?

  13. -tilts my head- That's cool. WindClan's cool, I guess. It's pretty bare, but I like it. -purrs-

  14. I've seen your territory, once, from the ThunderClan border... I've always kind of wondered how you guys live there without any shelter from trees or anything. I think it's pretty interesting, actually.

  15. -purrs- Oh, we're very fast! If we're really in trouble, sometimes we go and hide in rabbit burrows. Most of us sleep outside, though!

  16. -glances at Moonpaw and Redpaw- Hey, Redpaw! Your first gathering, and you're already flirting with other Clan's cats? -purrs, obviously joking, and scans ThunderClan cats, surprised when their deputy, Whitefall, isn't present-

  17. -flicks my tail in annoyance- H-Hey! I'm n-not flirting!! -whimpers and drags my paw over my ears to hide my embarrassment-

    ReplyDelete
  18. -laughs, while also feeling sympathy for him- I don't think he's being serious, Redpaw.

  19. -forces a laugh- Yeah, I guess.

  20. -marches through the bushes, my head held high, and yowls- RiverClam is here!

  21. -nods- Welcome to the gathering, Shellstar.

    ReplyDelete
  22. -looks up at Heatherstar- That's Shellstar? I've never seen him before.

    ReplyDelete
  23. -nods and eyes Shellstar, dipping my head and looking back at Moonpaw-

  24. -pads through the bushes, entering the gathering clearing. Sniffs the air and notices we are the last to arrive, and flicks my tail sharply in annoyance- ShadowClan is here.

  25. -stares off in the opposite direction when Tawnystar walks by, clearly not wanting to talk to him-

    ReplyDelete
  26. -glances at the two leaders, then looks back at Redpaw- Woah, wonder why Heatherstar's avoiding him. Doesn't matter, I suppose. I mean, they'll sort it out eventually, right? We all breathe the same air, after all. If you think about it, we really aren't that different, not really. -smiles and purrs-

    ReplyDelete
  27. -purrs and nods- Yeah. We're all cats! We all have claws, and teeth, and fur.

  28. -leaps onto a tree branch and yowls- Let the Gathering begi-- -pauses and glances down at the thin branch I'd jumped on, watching as the weak branch cracks and splits apart, then tries to jump to a different one too late, and falls to the ground-

    ReplyDelete
  29. -stares in shock, my fur bristling- H-Heatherstar?!

    ReplyDelete
  30. -lays very still for a moment, then blinks and attempts to get up, only to fall back down again- My paw... No, I'll be fine. It's just... Twisted, that's all. -tries to get up again but fails, my eyes dull with pain-

    ReplyDelete
  31. -runs up to Heatherstar and nudges her in worry- A-Are you sure? D-Do... Um, do you need help?

    ReplyDelete
  32. -takes a step towards Heatherstar, my eyes wide in worry, then shakes my head- ThunderClan, we're going back to camp. Now. -flicks my tail and walks away, my fur bristling slightly and my ears flattened-

    ReplyDelete
  33. -runs towards Heatherstar and tries to help her up, letting her lean on my shoulder- How hurt are you? I can send my medicine cat and herbs to your camp if you need. What happened?

    ReplyDelete
  34. -slumps to the ground, and mumbles- I'll be fine... -glances at Redpaw, then Shellstar, my eyes unfocused and my vision going blurry, before falling unconscious-

  35. Heatherstar! -glances at Shellstar nervously- I-Is she okay?
