Gatherings/Roleplay/Archive 2

RockClan arrived first, Runningstar waited for the others. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:06, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Nightpaw hopped over a rock and was in the clearing. It looked so cool! Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 01:07, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"it is nice here," Pepper mewed. *For a mangry fox,* he thought. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:09, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah! I wish Fennelkit could have seen it!" Nightpaw mewed. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 01:11, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Who is Fennelkit?" Pepperpaw asked, he had never heard of her before, but then agai. n, half his times at RockClan had been fighting or solving a murder.... *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:12, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Fennelkit was my sister. She died a few moons ago," Nightpaw mewed, in a suddenly flat tone. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 01:14, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh....umm.....I'm sorry....." Pepperpaw mewed, he didn't know what to say to that. Why *was* he a Clan cat now, anyway? ----- Runningstar glanced around. "Shall RockClan go first?" he asked, in a slight hiss. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:16, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"The other Clans' aren't even here yet..." Blizzardheart pointed out. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 01:18, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Runnningstar looked around, feeling jerked back to the reality. "I was *talking* to myself." he mewed. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:19, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Okay, I'm *sorry,"* Blizzardheart meowed mildly and walked away. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 01:21, April 15, 2016 (UTC)\

Runningstar fiddled with his paws/ *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:22, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Frozenwind's ears pricked, as he waited for the other Clans to turn up. --look me in the eye 04:25, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw was starting to feel impatient, and annoyed. "Ugh! Are the other Clans *always* this *slow*?" he moaned. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  04:32, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Swampgator lead StormClan into the gathering area, his eyes tired. It had been a very long journey for the clan.----Sunfire snaked around, searching for things to steal.**Silverstar** 10:45, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Jumpstrike slipped into a group of RockClan cats. Maybe Riverpaw rejoined? maybe he'd see her again! he hadn't seen her in some moons though.... Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 13:21, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw was feeling quite annoyed with the other Clans. *Why on earth did I come to this thing?* *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  13:41, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Jumpstrike looked at some RockClan apprentices. He padded up to them. "Hello, I just wanted to ask if there is a she-cat in your Clan with the name Riverpaw...?" Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 13:43, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw wondered if it was a good idea, "It's River*wish* now." He mumbled. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  13:47, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

Willowspirit paused at the edge of the clearing. She was out of breath. ---- *Oh, look, another Clan's here,* Frozenwind thought. --look me in the eye 20:35, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Wait, so she did rejoin?" Jumpstrike asked excitedly. "Is she here?" Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 21:11, April 15, 2016 (UTC)

"Ummm....yeah...." Pepper didn't want to talk that much, he wnated to go back to camp. ----- Riverwish padded around the gathering place with one thought on her mind, she had never said goodbye to her mother, and now it was too late. Wolfstar was dead, killed. And Riverwish would never be able to speak to her again. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  03:35, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Dusktiger had hesitantly agreed tho attend the gathering, and walked by himself, kicking a stone with a paw. He had never received news of his sister Riverpaw, he wasn't even sure if she was alive.**Silverstar** 03:51, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Riverwish wondered what happened her brothers....one was being called a murderer.....she wasn't really surprised. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  03:55, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Dusktiger, lost in his weird, puzzling thoughts, ran into a nearby she-cat. He rose to his paws in a hurry, glowering at the warrior slightly. She seemed...familiar.**Silverstar** 03:57, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw could not see how no one had brought anything up yet. "Do you have a cat named Morningwing in your Clan?" he blurted out to Swampgator. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  03:59, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Swampgator narrowed his eyes down at the apprentice in a sight look of surprise. "Yes, we do, he's the brother of Dusktiger. He's somewhere over there, brown with black patches.---- Shorepebble huffed, searching for entertaining cats to converse with.**Silverstar** 04:04, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Well, he is a murderer." Pepperpaw mewed. ----- Autumnpaw flinched, this wasn't good. He could only guess the StormClan cat's response, but it couldn't be great, after all, he wouldn't be happy to have a Clan mate called a murderer by a cat from another Clan.... *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  04:06, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

The deputy narrowed his eyes coldly. "You, apprentice, have no right to not only accuse one of my warriors of murder, but speak to me of such matters as only an apprentice. I'd watch your tongue; StarClan isn't fond of bloodshed caused during Gatherings, especially when they're caused in vain."**Silverstar** 04:09, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

"He killed Vinefur!" Pepperpaw hissed. ------ Runningstar glanced at his apprentice. "That's enough, Pepperpaw." he mewed. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  04:11, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Swampgator flattened his ears. "Your accusations are false. Not only is StormClan many miles away from any clan, but for unspecified reasons, Morningwing struggles to navigate. Listen to your leader, his word is law."**Silverstar** 04:13, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw gave Runningstar a look that said, if-I-didn't-want-to-stay-here-you-would-be-so-dead, because that was what he meant. ----- "Swampgator," Runningstar tried to speak calmly, "I knew Morningwing well when he was younger, and don't think he is a murderer; but Vinefur, out medicne cat, was found dead with his scent around it. Was he--in the area--around that time, maybe he saw something?" what Runningstar said was true; he couldn't think of Morningwing as a murderer, it was much more likely he was in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he could have seen something. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  04:17, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Swampgator twitched his tail tip to show his irritation. "As I said, he couldn't have. Not to be cruel to him, but he seems to barely be able to move about out territory. He's like our blind medicine cat apprentice, Foggypaw. It would've taken him days to get tho your territory, if possible for him to do so, and we would've noticed his absence. I am no longer shaking of this, for three accusations are causing me irritation, and I am only here to stand in Hiddenstar's place. StormClan didn't come here to be accused, we came here to peacefully meet."**Silverstar** 04:22, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar nodded. "As you wish then, Swampgator. I will not continue this topic." *But I will find out something to do...**We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  04:23, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Dusktiger growled at the accusations of his brother, fluffing his pelt before stalking off. If they wanted his brother, they'd have tho get through him first.---- Sunfire walked around in a jolly manner, stealing whatever she could.**Silverstar** 04:27, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw was not satisfied, but he stayed where he was, he shot a glare at the StormClan cats. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  04:28, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shorepebble have Pepperpaw the stank eye, that literally screamed 'square-up'. Swampgator, although pleased with his sister's undying loyalty, cleared his throat, catching her attention and making her stop. The pretty warrior flattened her ears, looking away and grumbling quietly.**Silverstar** 04:31, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing, who had heared the RockClan cats talking about him, sat a little ways away, not wanting any of them to speak to him. ---- Jumpstrike blinked. That was sudden... ---- Fernstar led ShadeClan into the clearing, they were noticeably thin. Dewfur looked to see Runningstar. That was pretty cool. His father was a leader. ---- Winterfall ignored everyone and everything else and tried to find Morningwing. She hadn't spoken to him since before Vinefur had died, she had to see if he was okay. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 13:40, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

*This is just great, you nearly got all the Clans to fight at your first gathering...* a voice said in Runningstar's head. "Shut up." he mewed threw gritted teeth. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  14:21, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shadowsong slowly followed her mate with her head bowed, as if embarrassed by the current state of her Clan. Her pelt was fairly dirty and matted due to her constant hunting, and her ribs poked out from underneath her pelt...yet, she still seemed to be...plump? (If you're ok with her expecting now, Lily).---- Darkstorm kept his distance from his starving and dirty Clanmates, despite being equally skinny. He had been extremely quiet lately, for he had noticed Shadowsong's belly, and knew what that meant. They had been close, good friends, and then she fell for Fernstar...and now this.**Silverstar** 21:04, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Fernstar gave Shadowsong a loving glance before joining Swampgator and Runningstar. He closed his eyes tightly. Cardinalpaw had come to his den a little while ago. He had a dream, a warning. ShadeClan would fall, due to twolegs. Fernstar hadn't believed it at first, but it was all too clear to ignore now. His Clan was nothing more then skin and bone. They had lost half their territory, even had to move camp... he never even told Viperclaw, Cardinalpaw, *Shadowsong,* what he was about to do. ---- Pebblestar arrived with CaveClan, bringing with her Shimmerheart, Anglertooth, Creekdew, Bramblefire, and Ripplestrike. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 22:57, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Birdsoar's belly rumbled with hunger. ---- Bramblefire shot a glance at Ripplestrike as they entered the clearing. --look me in the eye 22:59, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Pebblestar greeted the other leaders. She noticed Hiddenstar wasn't there, she hoped he was alright. She curled her tail around her paws as she waited along with the other for DawnClan to arrive. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 23:21, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Rosestar dragged herself into the Gathering area, her kits clinging to her pelt and complaining, while Risingsun shuffled along with the mysterious Starclan kittens underneath him. The DawnClan cats were in terrible shape...they were hungry, and their coats were covered in ash, and they smelled of smoke and blood. DawnClan...DawnClan was a Clan no more.**Silverstar** 23:24, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Fernstar nearly choked with surprise when he saw DawnClan. "What happened?" Pebblestar asked. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 23:26, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Rosestar glared down at her kits as the flopped off of her and into the grass, coughing. Her gaze was specifically harsh towards Fogkit, who was basically the cuase of the Clan's desmise. "Our home was burned to the ground, and overrun by twolegs." She gazed up at Pebblestar. "You're territory is vast, it could hold us. We need somewhere to stay, to recover, so we can return to being DawnClan."**Silverstar** 23:28, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Pebblestar's neck fur bristled. "I understand your Clan is in need of shelter, I would say yes, but CaveClan has too many cats at the moment, we need all the land we can get," ---- Fernstar blinked and crouched. Well, this gathering wasn't going to go well at all. He was going to annouce that ShadeClan could no longer stay in their territory, but Rosestar didn't look like she was going to stop just yet. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 23:32, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Rosestar's hackles raised, anger flashing in her eyes. "And you'd let a fellow feline die? Just because you think you have too many cats?! There has always been five Clans!" She unsheathed her claws, attempting to threaten the leader into accepting her cats. Risingsun backed away nervously, the kits hiding underneath their medicine cat.**Silverstar** 23:36, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

"I'm thinking of my own Clan, Rosestar, I would let one Clan die to keep my own," Pebblestar meowed sternly. She hated to say it, but it was true. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 23:39, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Then if I kill you, we get to stay in your territory for as long as we please!" Rosestar roared, ignoring the fact that the moon was slowly hiding behind clouds. The leader stalked foward, letting out a hateful hiss. Risingsun blinked in terror, and refused to fight. He was a Medicine Cat, not a warrior, and he was also no fool. Pumpkinfrost had an itching for fight, but instead, she hid within the crowd, searching for her RockClan family.**Silverstar** 23:44, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Hazelpaw hid behind Whiskerclaw, whimpering in fear. Whiskerclaw glared at both leaders for upsetting his apprentice. ---- Pebblestar's hackles rose, and her tails fluffed out to twice it's size. She let out a deep growl and faced Rosestar with an unflinching green gaze. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 23:48, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Bouldersnow's fur bristled, making some ash fall to the ground at the same time. ---- Birdsoar gasped. ---- Willowspirit looked up, feeling worried. *Please don't let there be a fight at the Gathering...* ---- Bramblefire's tail twitched. --look me in the eye 23:51, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Rosestar leaped up at Pebblestar, her claws unsheathed, raking them down the molly's pelt. "Then I'll swing first, if you're too much of a coward to do so!"**Silverstar** 23:52, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Pebblestar hissed in anger and pain and swiped Rosestar's muzzle. ---- Nightpaw's eyes widen with excitement. *Fight! Fight! Fight!. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 23:54, April 16, 2016 (UTC)*

Pumpkinfrost gazed around in terror. Where were her brothers? Her father? And then she gazed up to find her father sitting up with the other leaders. *Oh, great, my father is RockClan's leader now...*---- Swampgator yowled in surprise, leaping away from the dueling she-cats.---- Rosestar snarled as blood leaked onto her muzzle, so she shut her eyes to avoid getting her very own hot blood into her eyes. Blindly, she struck out at Pebblestar, her ears flattened against her skull.**Silverstar** 23:56, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

Pebblestar shrieked as Rosestar's claws ranked down her shoulder and blood sprayed out of the wound. She closed her eyes and reopened them a heart-beat later. She gathered her strength and sprang on Rosestar, digging her teeth into the she-cats neck. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 23:59, April 16, 2016 (UTC)

The squeal of pain that Rosestar let out was short, for her breathing was cut off as her neck was broken. Before her cry had been cut off, she gave the other leader a powerful kick to the ribs, hopefully breaking a few. But Rosestar was done: she was dead. And so was DawnClan...---- Fogkit and Gustykit let out a cry of terror. Fogkit, being the brave one, cried out at his mother's body. "Momma, momma, get up! Keep fighting mom, I don't want to die!"**Silverstar** 00:02, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Almondkit stared in horror and shock at her mother. She was frozen to the ground with her mouth hanging open slightly. ---- Pebblestar staggered backwords into what felt like other cats. The pain in her ribs was the worse pain she could remember feeling. Dizziness built up and she got a spliting head-ache. She slowly lowered herself to the ground, panting. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 00:06, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Willowspirit was shaking. *That did not just happen.* ---- Frozenwind was rooted to the spot in shock. ---- *No, no, my leader's dead!* Bouldersnow was panicking. --look me in the eye 00:07, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Risingsun's eyes grew round. "What...what have you done...? We have no home, and now, we have no leader."---- Fogkit gazed up at his Medicine Cat in shock. "N-No, you couldn't mean...my mom's right there, she's still here, we're still ok!!"**Silverstar** 00:11, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw was angry, this is *exactly* why he hated the Clans.....so greedy they wouldn't save their *friends* from starving to death? He knew how bad it was, without anything to eat, no prey.....no home....and yet, the other Clans.... "Quit it!" he yowled, it was stuped, but he wasn't going to see other cats hut if he could help it. "This is why I hated the Clans!" he glared at Pebblestar. "How can e so greedy, you are letting them starve to death because you have to many cats! You are so selfish, they are dying, ***dying*** and you won't help you are just....just...." *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  00:10, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pebblestar ignored Pepperpaw's yowling. "I didn't mean to..." she murmured horror starting to push her pain aside. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 00:14, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Gustykit, her eyes bleary with pain, glared at the Caveclan leader. "Y-You murderer! You killed my momma, my friends, my family...m-me!"**Silverstar** 00:15, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pebblestar closed her eyes. She wanted to block out the kits cries. *It was CaveClan, my friends, my family, or DawnClan. I was doing what anyone would do.* She kept repeating in her head. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 00:17, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw hissed. ----Runningstar didn't really think this would end well. "Autumnpaw, get backup. Now, bring Thunderstrike and Wolfyowl" ----- Autumnpaw returned a few minutes later.-*We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  00:16, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pumpkinfrost, ignoring the fact that her clan had basically been destroyed, narrowed her eyes up at Runningstar. "....dad...?"**Silverstar** 00:21, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

"Pumpkinfrost?" he said, he hadn't seen her in such a long time.....he jumped down to see her.------Thunderstrike padded close to Pepperpaw. "Have you been kicked out yet? Surprised no one has kicked you out...." Pepperpaw hissed under his breath, -----trying to stay calm. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  00:23, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Fernstar looked around, unsure of what to do. ---- Cardinalpaw checked Pebblestar's wounds. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 00:25, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

"Surprised you were allowed to join; your sister isn't happy about it....I don't think you mom is......she wouldn't have left you, if she cared about you." Thunderstrike mewed.------Pepperpaw hissed, loudly. "SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO LEAVE IT JUST HAPPENED! IF TWOLEGS HADN'T TAKEN HER SHE WOULD HAVE STAYED! AND DON'T YOU SPEAK OF HER YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Pepperpaw was screaming, how dare Thunderstrike do that. ----- Peregrineheart hearing only Pepperpaw screaming, gave him a stern look. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  00:28, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pumpkinfrost waved her tail. "I....What have I missed, with the family?"---- Shadowsong looked up at Fernstar in worry, her tail held low.---- Fogkit and Gustykit continued to cry, and before long, the StarClan kits did as well. Risingsun flattened his ears, his head ringing with the cries of kittens and his fellow Dawnclan cats.**Silverstar** 00:51, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Whiskerclaw flattened his ears. "So what do we do now?" Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 00:52, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

"Creekdew and Oilpelt are in CaveClan and....Stoatscar is.....is...." Runningstar didn't want to continue. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  00:53, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pumpkinfrost's waving tail slowly fell as she realized what her father meant. As she spoke, her voice cracked slightly, "o-oh...I understand..."---- Risingsun cleared his throat, attempting to catch the attention of the cats at the gathering. "Ahem, um, sorry to interrupt everything, but...we need a home. Even if it's more than one home. We're still cats, and some of us, just kits."**Silverstar** 01:13, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar nodded, "Right before she died, she told me to tell you--and your brothers--that she loves you." then he glaned at Risingsun. "We can take a few cats in RockClan, not a whole Clan's worth, but some." *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:15, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Fernstar waited a moment, then spoke. "ShadeClan does... as well... our territory has been taken over by twolegs, we can't survive there any longer..." he meowed quietly. He felt bad, DawnClan had just been through so much, and now this, two Clans were homeless. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 01:18, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pumpkinfrost bowed her head. "...she was a good mom..."---- Risingsun glanced at his fellow DawnClan cats, and then the kits at his paws. Wherever he went, the StarClan kits would go. "...I need to go to a Clan where I can work with Medicine...I cannot live if I'm not a Medicine cat."----Shadowsong gazed up at Fernstar in shock.**Silverstar** 01:19, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Viperclaw opened his mouth in shock. ---- Fernstar kept his head low, he couldn't look at his Clan, or Shadowsong. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 01:21, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar nodded. The he glanced at Risingsun. "You can join RockClan, we needed someone to comeplate Autumnpaw's training after Vinefur's death." he said. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:21, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Risingsun looked at the four kits at his paws, the oddest one hiding behind his paws. Would she be accepted? "I'd be honored, and if you don't mind, I'll be taking these four with me."**Silverstar** 01:25, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar nodded. "Alright," he said. "What about you, Pumpkinfrost? You are in DawnClan, right? Would you like to come to RockClan?" *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*

"I'll - I'll go to StormClan," Bouldersnow mewed from among the DawnClan cats. ---- Birdsoar's mouth opened in horror. *No!* --look me in the eye 01:32, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw glared at Thunderstrike, and stormed off. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:33, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pumpkinfrost nodded. "I've been dying to come home."----Fogkit and Gustykit looked at each other, still mournful.----Swampgator shrugged. "We'll take anyone who wishes to join."**Silverstar** 01:40, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar nodded. "It will be great to have you back," he mewed. "We can take some others as well." he mewed to the cats. ----- Pinefrost walked over to her father, she had to come back to her old Clan, to Wolfstar's Clan, at last. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:42, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Bouldersnow dipped his head to Swampgator. "Thank you, Swampgator, I appreciate it," he mewed respectfully to the StormClan deputy. --look me in the eye 01:43, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

"I will....join...." she muttered, feeling sightly reluctent to do so. Runningstar nodded to her, out his four kits with Ioheart, it was Pinefrost that looked most like the lunatic, but it wasn't Pinefrost's fault, and so therefore, he loved her all the same. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*

Birdsoar was now pondering what Clan she would join, but it was hard amidst all the shock. ---- Frozenwind flicked an ear as he heard Pumpkinfrost say that she was coming back to RockClan. *Isn't she my father's sister?* --look me in the eye 01:52, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw was pleased with StormClan, and his own Clan RockClan, for being more welcoming then CaveClan. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  01:54, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

It took a while for the she-cat to decide, but Birdsoar eventually announced that she would be joining StormClan. ---- *More Clanmates,* Willowspirit thought to herself. Sure, it wasn't a *bad* thing... she just wasn't the social butterfly type of cat. --look me in the eye 01:59, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

"If no other cats will need to come to RockClan," Runningstar said, "The we will be going home." Voices had started to come to his own head, and he tended to lash out when they did, so he wanted to far away as soon as possible. 02:01, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Fernstar shifted a little and looked to Shadowsong. "You pick which Clan, I'll go with you," --- Cardinalpaw looked around mournfully. Every Clan already had a Medicine cat - what was he supposed to do now? he didn't think he could be a warrior... ---- Viperclaw curled his tail around his paws thoughtfully. Deputy of a Clan one moment, homeless the next. "I'll join RockClan if you'll take me," he mewed. --- Whiskerclaw looked down at Hazelpaw. "You pick," he murmured. Hazelpaw glanced from one Clan to another then looked back to Whiskerclaw. "I want to be in my parents Clan," he mewed quietly. Whiskerclaw nodded and joined Viperclaw. ---- Whitetoe looked waryily at the StormClan cats. "May I join?" she asked quietly. Hickorywing, her brother, sat beside her. He hadn't eaten in nearly a moon, giving all of his prey to the other cats. He was now ill. He gave her a tired nod to tell her he was coming. --- Winterfall blinked and joined Whitetoe and Hickorywing. ---- Almondkit sat with her siblings. ---- Dewfur decided to go back to RockClan. ---- Tanglelight stood close by Shadowsong and Fernstar. Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 02:59, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar nodded to Vierpawclaw, Whiskerclaw, Hazelpaw, and Dewfur. "Come on," he said, "Let's go back to RockClan." *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  03:50, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Shadowsong shifted her paws. "Caveclan sounds like it'd be a good place...f-for the kits...Who you're the father of."---- Risingsun shuffled the for kits along, while Gustykit and Fogkit gazed around in confusion.---- Frostkit, now Frostpaw, agreed to join RockClan...her adopted mother told her that was her real home clan, her mother had dropped her off in ShadeClan, slowly dying shortly after the death of her mate.**Silverstar** 04:28, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw was starting to wonder if RockClan was ever going back. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  04:51, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Bouldersnow nodded at Whitetoe and Hickorywing, happy that some of his Clanmates were going to join him. ---- Birdsoar shuffled her paws awkwardly. ---- Frozenwind got to his paws and shook out his fur. He knew that Runningstar wanted to head off... so he might as well get ready to leave. *This Gathering has been very traumatic, geez...* --look me in the eye 07:10, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Fernstar blinked at Shadowsong. This was great news; they were going to have kits! but at the same time, he couldn't feel very happy. His kits weren't going to grow up in their true Clan, and would probably be treated as outcasts in CaveClan. He smiled and nodded. ---- Tanglelight felt happier knowing she was going to have half siblings. "I'll come along too," ---- Pebblestar stiffly rose to her paws, hunched by the pain in her ribs. "CaveClan can take a few cats," she weezed. ---- Cardinalpaw looked sadly at the three Clans. The only Clan he belonged to was ShadeClan. He pulled away from all the cats and curled up in a clump of thick grass. *I don't belong anywhere now.* ---- Almondkit glanced at her siblings. "What should we do now?" Yay! candy! it's - oh it's insect loliepops 13:28, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar started to head back with the rest of RockClan. *We all go*    *a little*   MAD    *sometimes....*  13:56, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

(Cloudkit and co. Are going to RC, Fogkit and Gustykit are going to get lost and probably grow up as feral children) Frostpaw narrowed her eyes at this Hazelpaw cat...why did he seen faintly....familiar?**Silverstar** 14:49, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

Echopaw flexed her claws over the smooth soil. Her first Gathering, and the Clans were *trading cats?* ----- Frecklefur narrowed her eyes as she saw Nightpaw glance over at a pretty CaveClan cat. (i hope i'm not too late to the gathering lmao) ~Ging

Bramblefire, after watching RockClan leave, shot a glance at Pebblestar. *Great StarClan, she doesn't look good...* --look me in the eye 20:01, April 17, 2016 (UTC)\

(i think we might have a bit of time left) "Hi, I'm Nightpaw!" Nightpaw mewed to the she-cat. *She's really pretty!* ---- Hazelpaw looked around, alert. He felt someone watching him. He then saw Frostpaw. Did he know her? Lock the doors, and close the blinds, we're go'in for a ride 20:39, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

## Gathering 8/15/16

(Let's just do that rather than make a ton of archives?) Hiddenstar led StormClan into the Gathering place, silent as a hunter, his head bowed. He would not mention the k coyotes, however, for that would make his clan seem weak. And StormClan was everything *but* weak!!---- Frostfire bounced after her Clan, humming to herself happily. She liked her new warrior name.**Silverstar** 20:26, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing carefully followed Hiddenstar, keeping his head low. Hopefully RockClan wouldn't mention him and Winterfall's visit. Darkfrost padded a little ways away. ~Patchfeather~ 20:33, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart followed behind Bramblestar her head bowed down. She wanted to get away from Tinycloud and her insulent mate. The calico molly watched as Frostfire followed behind her leader. Carpheart sighed as she brushed past several other clan cats sighing. — Minkclaw 21:32, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Hollymask had been picked to go the the Gathering and was now busily looking around for Hickorywing. ---- Morningwing bumped into about 25 cats until he got to a spot under a bush to get away from them. One of his weaknesses to being blind was when it came to Gatherings, so many cats and scents and sounds all mixed together... so confusing. ~Patchfeather~ 21:41, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Darkstorm was being careless per usual, climbing over crowds of cats while they squealed in complaint, trying to find his former Clanmates.---- Risingsun seated himself by the other Medicine Cats, eventually falling over once Foggysky ran face-first into him.---- Frostfire's rear wiggled in excitement, as if she was some little dog. Ooooh, all the smells (even if gross)! If only her brother could've been there with her...----Rainpaw, Smokepaw, and Sunpaw were *extremely* cautious. Not for themselves, but for their sister. They walked in an odd group, hiding albino Cloudpaw inbetween them.**Silverstar** 21:46, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Once the flood of cats began to die down and they settled into little chattery groups, Morningwing slid out from under the bush. He scented the air, trying to pick out scents of cats he knew. ~Patchfeather~ 21:50, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

"G-Guys...I'm scared." Cloudpaw squeaked to her littermates, only to have Rainpaw gently press against her side. "Don't worry Cloudpaw, if anyone tries to mess with you...they'll regret it."**Silverstar** 21:52, August 15, 2016 (UTC)

Leading her Clan to the Gathering place, Bramblestar flicked her tail as they arrived. When her Clanmates had started to scatter off, the dark tabby cat leapt onto the place where the leaders talk and share news. ---- Ripplestrike followed Bramblestar and the rest of the CaveClan cats. --look me in the eye 04:29, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart sighed as she followed Bramblestar before separating to talk with the other clan cats. She looked around before finally settling that there was probably nobody who wanted to talk to her. Head hung, Carpheart made her way to a small solitaire area and sat down observing the other cats. Meanwhile, Shadowclaw had accompanied Bramblestar and hadn't really spoken to her much but oh well. Shadowclaw made his way to the RockClan cats where he ran into Chervilpaw. One of the current apprentices. She was to be made warrior soon. (Ooh could she be made warrior at this gathering? With whoever is to be made warrior with her I think its Owlpaw.) Chervilpaw beams up at the dark warrior. "Oh hello," she greeted Owloaw beside her nodding his head. — Minkclaw 04:39, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy sat on a tree root, glaring at every cat who walked past, but still being nice enough to greet them with a slight head dip. ---- Tanglelight searched for cats to chat to. ~Patchfeather~ 04:48, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart flattened her ears seeing Tanglelight so she quickly ducked out of the way only to bump into Firepoppy. "Sorry," she muttered feeling completely embarrassed. Carpheart knew this cat would retaliate in a rude way and braces for it. — Minkclaw 04:55, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy tensed, not liking the feeling of another cat touching her pelt. Her pelt bristled but she remained calm. "It's fine," she murmured quietly. ~Patchfeather~ 04:57, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart was surprised she hadn't yelled and nodded before slinking away to hide from any talkative cats. She wasn't in the mood and would probably be experiencing a panic attack later tonight. The calico tabby felt eyes on her and ignored them as she found yet another solitaire place and sighed in comfort.

Shadowclaw greeted himself and Chervilpaw and Owlpaw the same. "What's your clan?" He questioned.

"RockClan," they answered in unison. Shadowclaw raised a brow at the white molly. She smiled and felt her eyes light up. There was something about that smile that warmed his heart. — Minkclaw 05:03, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

(fyi peoples: i plan on bramble announcing who her deputy will be at the gathering... and who is it is a surprise >:D) Willowspirit's gray pelt was fluffed up in the light breeze, Birdsoar near her friend. "Shall we talk?" the white she-cat suggested, rising to her paws, with Willowspirit nodding and following. --look me in the eye 05:52, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Darkstorm sat down with a tired yawn.---- Cloudpaw nodded to her sister, even though she was still very nervous. Nobody had seen a cat like her before!**Silverstar** 11:16, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Shadowclaw and Carpheart met back up talking lightly. The two of course knew each other and were curious as to when Bramblestar would announce deputy. Carpheart glanced over at Firepoppy, she was really pretty and it had surprised the molly that she hadn't gotten mad. — Minkclaw 11:29, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar waited until it was to speak, he was thinking about Waterdrop. Somehow, he felt like they spent more of her life fighting then being good with each other. He realized that, when he accounced her death at the gathering, his Clanmates would be hearing it for the first time too, with an exception of Pepperpaw, of course. ------- Pepperpaw hated gatherings beyond belief. He hated crowds, he hated talking, and most of all he hated cats. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 11:36, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Sunpaw followed his littermates, unusually....distant, not his loud and proud self. Where was his mentor, Waterdrop? Dazed, he slammed into the side a random cat, Cloudpaw cringing as she saw this.**Silverstar** 12:12, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing picked a scent out of all the others. It was the RockClan cat, Frostfire. He made his way over to her. "Hello, Frostpaw," he greeted her. ---- Firepoppy found herself talking with Hollymask. "So... have you heard anything of a warrior, Hickorywing?" Hollymask brought up after awhile. Firepoppy had heard that the warrior had died, passed to her from the last Gathering. "Hickorywing died." Firepoppy felt surprised as Hollymask's face suddenly filled with greif and her eyes watered. "Are you alright?" she asked. Hollymask nodded and padded away, snuffling. Well that was weird. ~Patchfeather~ 13:25, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart watched Firepoppy for a minute before sighing. She stood ready to go back to camp already. The calico tabby headed towards the more quiet side of the island where nobody was. Maybe she could finally escape from Tinycloud. — Minkclaw 14:09, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy shrugged and went back to watching the sky. She wished Nutgorse was still here with her. They should have spent more time with each other. ~Patchfeather~ 14:24, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

(Let the attraction begin) Carpheart thought of how Firepoppy didn't snap. She'd somehow thought she would because Firepoppy was in CaveClan. Her brother and parents had died not long ago. Carpheart felt for the molly, but there was some weird attraction there now. — Minkclaw 14:26, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy thought she felt like someone was watching her, and turned her head to see Carpheart sitting not far away. Firepoppy beckoned with her tail for the warrior to join her, she looked lonely. ~Patchfeather~ 14:28, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart's eyes widened and she stood up unsure. The dilute calico tabby made her way slowly to her clanmate. Painfully all she could think about was her love for Tinycloud. The pain was nearly unbearable when she was with her mate and now she was expecting. The warrior sat about a foot away from Firepoppy sure not to make contact wouldn't want to fall for another calnmate that surely wouldn't love her. — Minkclaw 14:34, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Hello," Firepoppy began. "You looked lonely over there by yourself." ~Patchfeather~ 14:36, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart raised an eyebrow before speaking. "All apart of the package," she replied casting her gaze towards Shadowclaw. He was talking with a RockClan apprentice. The dilute warrior dipped her head thoughtfully. She jumped when a tail brushed her paw slowly tucking ger paw underneath her body. — Minkclaw 14:39, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy followed Carpheart's gaze to Shadowclaw. "You like him?" she asked. ~Patchfeather~ 15:24, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart snorted. "StarClan, no. He's my..best friend's brother." She said thoughts on Tinycloud now. She hadn't seen the white queen anywhere. Nor her mate. Sighing in relief she finally relaxed. "Your in CaveClan too right?" She asked. — Minkclaw 15:51, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy nodded. "Born and raised." ~Patchfeather~ 17:03, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

It took Frostfire a bit to register her former name, and turned to see the tabby of StormClan. She blinked her blue eyes calmly before grinning like an idiot. "Oh, hi Morningwing! That's not my name anymore, by the way."---- "Cloudpaw, stop fidgeting, things are going to be ok! You look like a normal white cat with blue eyes if you don't look into the light...ok, you do have a bit of a weird pink tint, but it'll be ok!" Smokepaw tried to reassure the albino apprentice, who ducked behind her three littermates.**Silverstar** 19:31, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh. Great, your a warrior now. What is your name?" Morningwing asked, curling his tail around his paws. ~Patchfeather~ 20:23, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Frostfire," the monochromatic tortoiseshell said proudly, puffing out her chest as if she was some mighty lion about to roar. She was quick to deflate though, recalling her brother's current state. "...but my brother didn't get to be a warrior with me."**Silverstar** 20:25, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

(People keep icing me) Carpheart smiled and continued. "Any crushes?" She asks. — Minkclaw 20:32, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Is he any better?" Morningwing asked. He remembered while he was in RockClan for the night, Frostfire's brother - Hazelpaw - had been hurt pretty bad. ---- Firepoppy stiffened at the qustion, as it brought up someone she hated. "No. I was in love once though. He told me he loved me, but it was all a lie... what about you?" ~Patchfeather~ 20:34, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

The tortoiseshell nodded quickly. "Yeah, he's getting better now." A bit of excitement flashed in her eyes. "I can't wait until he can go hunting with me again...I don't really have any other friends I can hang out with in RockClan."**Silverstar** 20:36, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Morningwing nodded. He could relate to that; his only friend in StormClan was his brother, Dusktiger. "That sucks. I don't have many in my Clan too." ~Patchfeather~ 20:41, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Hey!" The new warrior bounced on her paws, energy pulsing through her as if she was a kit once more. "We could always be friends!"**Silverstar** 20:50, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"That would be nice," Morningwing purred. Despite talking to the tortoiseshell a few times, he liked her a lot. Most cats seemed to get a bit defensive around him, as if they were expecting him to say something awful to them. Frostfire hadn't met him when he was an ungrateful apprentice though. ~Patchfeather~ 20:54, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire nodded before glancing back at her Clan, and then back to Morningwing. "Although, we'll only see each other once a moon, 'cause that's when we have Gatherings...and StormClan's super far away." She let out a small huff. Why did that darn swamp have to be so far away?**Silverstar** 21:01, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah..." Morningwing sighed, feeling disappointed, when a thought popped into his head. "... or do we?" ~Patchfeather~ 21:05, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire turned back to the StormClan warrior, tilting her head in confusion. "What do you mean?"**Silverstar** 21:09, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"We could always meet each other in between our territores. I used to do it when I was younger," Morningwing suggested. ~Patchfeather~ 21:15, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Sure!" Frostfire was quickly becoming excited at this thought. Adventure, even if dramatic and basically breaking the code! Ok, it was going to be a very long walk, but anything for friends, right?**Silverstar** 21:17, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Great!" Morningwing meowed, excitement made his paws itch. At the same time, a dark cloud hovered over him. Him and Winterfall met between ShadeClan and StormClan. What if something happened to Frostfire, like what happened to Winterfall? No. Frostfire wasn't Winterfall. "So when should we meet?" ~Patchfeather~ 21:21, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Frostfire went silent, lost in thought. "Hmm..." Well, it wasn't like she really had anything to do, although if she was gone too long, her clanmates may think that the killer had gotten her. "Whenever, really. RockClan isn't doing anything right now."**Silverstar** 21:25, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Great, how about at the half-moon?" Morningwing asked, pushing the coyotes out of his mind. ~Patchfeather~ 21:30, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

"Fine with me!" Frostfire responded in a bubbly manner, grinning at the tom, although he couldn't see it.**Silverstar** 21:34, August 16, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart sighed and turned to face Firepoppy. "Oh, I'm sorry." She murmured. "I do have someone I love as a love interest, but they don't feel the same." She said sadly. Would anyone. Sturgeonwhisker thumped his tail impatiently. — Minkclaw 02:16, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy flicked her tail. "I'm sorry about that." Firepoppy tapped her tail on the calico warriors shoulder in a show of comfort. "One day you may find someone else," she mewed, then turned her head to the leaders. They would begin anytime now. ~Patchfeather~ 02:29, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Bramblefire paused on the rock, waiting for the other leaders. ---- Birdsoar and Willowspirit came across Ripplestrike, and the three cats started taling. --look me in the eye 05:52, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

"Shall we start?" Runningstar asked the other leaders, shifting his paws awkwardly. ------ Pepperpaw, making himself stiff as possible, walked through the cats. He wasn't sure of he would be able to keep this keep this peaceful thing up, not because the cats were from other Clans, just because he didn't like other cats. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 11:38, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Hiddenstar nodded, deciding he'd go first and get it over with. The black-and-silver leader stepped forward, standing tall per usual...wait, was he even trying to stand tall, or was he naturally that tall? Ah, whatever. "All is well in StormClan, hunting is plentiful, and we've no issues. We have new apprentices-" he nodded to them, "and new warriors." With that, he stepped back, letting someone else go.---- Rainpaw, Sunpaw, and Smokepaw settled down, now exposing Cloudpaw, who shifted nervously. She needed to go...**Silverstar** 12:14, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Nightshade sat down next to Hollymask, who was more then happy to have some company. They watched Hiddenstar make his report. His gaze landed on Bramblestar. What happened to Pebblestar? ~Patchfeather~ 12:57, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar decided to go next. He wondered what to cover first. "Nightpaw is now called Nightshade, Frostpaw is Frostfire, and Heatherpaw is Heathersun," he said. "But aside of that, we have a problem. Cats in RockClan have been getting--murderered--since the last gathering we have lost Sagenose, Talonfang, Leafwind, Shredclaw, Dewfur, Wolfyowl, and Thunderstrike. One of our apprentices, Pepperpaw"--he nodded to Pepperpaw whose bones were stiff and his eyee were darting back and fourth, as if he expected Luna to jump out and attack--"Says he knows of a loner--or I guess a rogue now--called Luna, she is known to be a murderer, who might be the cause. However, their may be other murderers as well walking about. RockClan was taken extra safety--er....things?--and I suggest the rest of you do the um,....same......and on another note," Runningstar swallowed hard. He felt strangly hot and like he *had* to be doing something--he was clawing at a leaf and shredding it--but he felt that way the whole gathering, now he felt it more so, and he also knew about one more thing he needed to report. "This next thing, only Pepperpaw and I know about. On our patrol by the Thunderpath, we were joined by Waterdrop, and Pepperpaw got stuck with a monster coming. Waterdrop, my adoptive sister, was able to--to save him but...she couldn't save..." Runningstar's throat tightened, he closed his eyes. "Herself. Waterdrop is dead." The leader opened his eyes, and locked his gaze on his apprentice. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:01, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Both Hollymask and Nightshade bristled. "What? Waterdrop is dead?" Nightshade gasped. "When was this? ~Patchfeather~ 13:05, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Runningstar turned to Nightshade. "Just minutes ago, I didn't have time to annouce to the Clan first." By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:06, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Nightshade lowered his head. It was as is StarClan were killing cats from RockClan... one by one. ~Patchfeather~ 13:10, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw sighed. And it was his fault, sort of. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:11, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Oilpelt glanced at Creekdew. "What do you think about that?" he asked. RockClan was their former Clan; and Oilpelt's kits were there. What if something happened to them. He dug his claws into the ground. ~Patchfeather~ 13:20, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

"That is.....bad, man. Really bad." Creekdew said. "Somehow, I just feel like it is sort of...wrong...that here we are here, and our family is you know, there." He pawed at the ground and nodded to the Clan. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:31, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

"It's like we're hiding in another Clan because we're too scared." Oilpelt agreed. "...Dazzleheart is dead... we don't have any friends here... or kin, except each other." ~Patchfeather~ 13:35, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew turned, he could tell what his brother was thinking. "We could always go back....." By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:37, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

"But we'd be disloyal!" Oilpelt huffed. "we won't be trusted that much if we switch from one Clan to another, then back again." ~Patchfeather~ 13:38, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew paused. "It is isn't disloyal to go back to your family," He said. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:40, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Oilpelt still looked uncertaint. "I guess..." ~Patchfeather~ 13:44, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew signed. "It is up to you," he said. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:45, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

"You choose for yourself. I'll choose for me alone." Oilpelt decided, tail fluffed out. ~Patchfeather~ 13:48, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Spikefur sat with his new mate, Willowpelt. Meanwhile, Carpheart watched. — Minkclaw 16:02, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Bramblestar hesitated on the rock awkwardly, catching her breath. She was a little nervous, giving her first Gathering report for her Clan... --look me in the eye 19:03, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

The pain was evident in Sunpaw's eyes after his mentor was announced dead, and he flattened his ears in despair. "N-Nooo!" Cloudpaw frowned at her brother, pressing into his side to comfort him.---- Frostfire gasped in surprise, although she secretly wondered why Runningstar hadn't told the Clan earlier.**Silverstar** 19:29, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw glanced at the direction back home, and sighed. Fate. he thought, that was it. Why was it his fate to live through every terrible day, without anything to make it worth living, while it was Waterdrop's fate to lose the life that she seemed, at least for the past few moons, to enjoy? Why was it Runningstar's fate to sit on a rock and tell total strangers the death of someone he loved, while it was his other foster brother's Stormstar's fate to sit in StarClan and be joined by his siter? Why was it the fate of some cat's to live in the elders den and die of old age at tweleve or fifteen years old, while it was the fate other cat's to be taken by a hawk before opening their eyes? Why was fate that way? It made no sense. Pepperpaw walked around and slammed into the cat named Carpheart. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 19:59, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart stumbled back from surprise but managed to regain her balance. "Watch yourself," she muttered lashing her calico tabby tail. "hey what's wrong?" She asked the apprentice. — Minkclaw 21:48, August 17, 2016 (UTC)

"Nothing is wrong!" Pepperpaw said, in a voice that shows somethng is wrong. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 00:21, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Nightshade spotted Pepperpaw. He wanted to go over and talk to him, but he was blocked off by too many cats, it would take forever to reach him. --- Oilpelt looked at his blue-gray brother. "What do you think?" he asked, his voice very intense. ~Patchfeather~ 00:38, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Carpheart frowned at his obvious lie. "Looks to me like there's a lie here," she replied. Owlpaw hadn't been talking much due to the distraught and grief from Dewfur's death. Meanwhile, Fernpaw lead her daughter towards the gathering. She could see cats ahead and even caught sight of Creekdew. Her heart began to beat rapidly as she silently made her way into the midst of all the Clan cats. Jewel, however, looked scared. Very scared. — Minkclaw 01:22, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew turned to Oilpelt, "I am going back," he said. "RockClan is my home,"------ Pepperpaw stiffened. "Nothing's wrong!" he snapped, louder then he expected. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 14:25, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Fernpaw watched her former lover talk to Oilpelt. She missed him and the ache in her heart told her this was the right thing to do. He must think she was dead, right? She watched as Jewel scooted close to her mother, practically hiding behind her. — Minkclaw 14:31, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew turned, he blinked. He saw she looked like...like.....no, it couldn't be possible. He was about to tell Oilpelt, but he decided not to. He would think he was crazy. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 14:33, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Oilpelt closed his eyes tightly. "I... I think I'm going to have to think about it..." ~Patchfeather~ 14:35, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

(She shall give birth soon) Fernpaw met the gaze of..Creekdew and pain split through her heart and torso. She knew she'd just gone into labor but ignored it. Jewel watched the grey tom. — Minkclaw 14:37, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

(Wow Fernpaw is super calm) "Okay, bro." Creekdew said. Then he paused. "I'll be right back," he ran towards Fernpaw. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 14:40, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

(She's totally hurting on the inside) Fernpaw's eyes widened as her former lover ran forward. Fear captured her and the pain became to much she felt her legs give way and the brown and white queen collapsed moaning in pain. Jewel rushed to her mother's side eyes wide and frantic. *This wasn't normal for a pregnancy.* "Mother?" She whispered nudging her nearly unconscious mother. — Minkclaw 14:42, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew paused, and turned to the cat. "Dude, what the heck is going on?" he said. He glanced around, *medicine cat* he thought. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 14:44, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

"Fernpaw?" Oilpelt mewed with surprise and ran up to Creekdew and the she-cat. ---- Cardinalpaw heard a cat yowling in pain and rushed over to Fernpaw. "What's the matter?" he asked, scanning her for wounds. "Oh, she's having kits!" (right?) ~Patchfeather~ 14:45, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Jewel sighed and rolled her eyes. "She's gone into labor you doof! It might just kill her." She said worried. Jewel crouched by her mother and felt the gaze of Creekdew. Fernpaw was in and out; she didn't want Creekdew to know that she'd had kittens away from the clan but she'd moved on from the clans once healed except what if she hadn't? — Minkclaw 14:47, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

"Someone get a stick," Cardinalpaw ordered, then crouched down beside the queen. ~Patchfeather~ 14:48, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew ran around, looking for a stick. He found ran, it wasn't a great one, but the best he could do. 14:49, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Fernpaw finally lapsed into unconsciousness. Jewel felt tears spring to her eyes as she watched her mother's body give small convulses. "Please, don't die. Jazz and I need you." She whispered. — Minkclaw 14:50, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew stiffened. He wasn't sure what he should feel. "Fernpaw?" he said. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 14:52, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Cardinalpaw ran his paw along her flank and pelt a ripple pass through her. "The first one is coming," he mewed in an eriee calm voice. Though he was worried. He'd never seen a queen unconscious while kitting. ~Patchfeather~ 14:54, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

"This is a dumb question, bro," Creekdew said to Jewel, "but wasn't Fernpaw dead moons ago?" He was tyring to hide his fear by talking. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 14:55, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Smokepaw suddenly looked up in alarm, glancing around in terrible confusion. "Rainpaw? Sunpaw? Where did Cloudpaw go?"**Silverstar** 15:56, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Fernpaw felt her conscious beginning to come back and felt her eyelids flicker as the pain hit her again. *You can't die.* She told herself not when she'd just gotten Creekdew back. Jewel glanced at the warrior. "No, a twoleg found her from what she tells me..then she had me and Jasper. My brother," she tells the warrior. "The twolegs used her for breeding. I'm sure they'll miss her now." — Minkclaw 15:59, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Smokepaw flailed, his eyes wide with worry as his littermates shrugged in response, glancing around with a puzzled look. "We've got to find her, this is bad, this is very very bad!" Sunpaw looked up at his terrified brother, twitching his whiskers. "She's an albino, it's won't be very difficult to find her." "What if she got kidnapped, 'cause she's rare? What if she got killed b-because someone thought she was a freak?" "Smokepaw, calm down, she'll be ok!!"**Silverstar** 16:11, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

"Oh," Creekdew said, awkwardly. "She escaped?" By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 17:57, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

"Come on Fernpaw, push," Cardinalpaw gentely encouraged the she-cat, who seemed to be waking up again. ~Patchfeather~ 18:30, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

Fernpaw distantly heard Jewel pleading with her to stay and Cardinalpaw telling her to push. The tabby and white queen opened her pale blue eyes, her blue ones meeting Creekdew's. She wanted to say she was sorry for letting him think she was dead and for everything else. The queen was quickly distracted by an even more painful pain in her torso again She'd already given birth to a brown tabby kitten. Jewel watched as her mother seemed to struggle especially when she looked at Creekdew. "Why did you love my mother before she left?" The six moon old molly asked.

Before long, Fernpaw had given birth to a ginger and white tom and a dilute tortoiseshell at seconds apart. Fraternal Twins. The last kit that came was the most painful. A weird exotic looking tom kitten. His coat was that of a Leopard's golden with dark spots and stripes. She collapsed exhausted. The tabby and white molly slowly met Creekdew's with much pain and longing. — Minkclaw 23:38, August 18, 2016 (UTC)

"Well done," Cardinalpaw murmured quietly to the queen. He nodded toward Jewel. "Mind helping to warm them up?" he asked, and, without waiting for a reply, began to lick one of the kits fur the wrong way, to dry and warm him. ~Patchfeather~ 00:09, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Smokepaw and Sunpaw curiously shuffled over to the Queen, having never seen newborn kits before. "They're kind of..." Smokepaw began, trailing off. "...Gross." Sunpaw finished for his brother, wrinkling his nose at the wet squirming things. Rainpaw sat beside her brother, but she said not a word, rather she was distracted with the stars.**Silverstar** 00:13, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Bramblestar sat on the rock. When the cats had calmed down, she'd give her report. ---- Heathersun, who was near Fernpaw, Creekdew, and now a lot of other cats that were going to see the new kits, craned her head to catch a peek. --look me in the eye 04:23, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew wasn't sure how to answer to that question. "I don't know, dude. I guess I just sort of....did."------- Pepperpaw, wanting to get out of the situation he was in, started to trail off to the kits. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 10:55, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Jewel sighed. "Do you still..love her?" She asked. The chocolate point felt as though her mother had, had a perfect life before her or Jasper. — Minkclaw 11:36, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Creekdew wasn't quite sure how to answer that. "Yeah.....I ......do." he said. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 11:40, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

Jewel blinked looking sad. *This is why her mother came back.* She thought. The chocolate point felt her heart break at this. "That's why she came back," she whispered scared now. — Minkclaw 14:30, August 19, 2016 (UTC)

(and now i'll announce the new CaveClan deputy, at last C:) When the commotion from the kits had receded a little, Bramblestar swiftly silenced the cats. She had an important announcement that she had to give at this Gathering... and it would be relevant to everyone.

"Cats of the Clans... Pebblestar, as some of you know, has stepped down. Now, I am Bramblestar, leader of CaveClan. In the past moon we have been recovering from events that have happened... Dustfeather has been exiled after it was found he was betraying us. Our new medicine cat will be... confirmed at the next Gathering." Cardinalpaw, Leaf... she had options... She was considering that both of them could be medicine cats, but she was yet to make a final decision.

"Now, in front of every cat, I shall announce my new deputy... I have put off the news, but I mustn't wait any longer." Everyone fell silent at this, all listening intently. "I stay these words in front of StarClan, our warrior ancestors... may they approve my choice for deputy." She paused for a moment, hesitating, before speaking:

"CaveClan's new deputy will be Firepoppy." --look me in the eye 07:34, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw went to go and find Nightshade, who he hoped would be more interesting then anybody *else* in the gathering.By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 10:40, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Firepoppy dipped her head. "I accept," she murmured. Her pelt was prickled with surprise. She hadn't excepted to be made deputy, with how... harsh she could sometimes be. --- Nightshade made his way over to Pepperpaw. "Are you okay?"~Patchfeather~ 12:35, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

"Yeah," Pepperpaw said, making himself tense. "Do you know when we go back to camp?" By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:03, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

"I think Bramblestar has finished speaking. So now probably." Nightshade mewed, heading to a group of his Clanmates. "Come on!" ~Patchfeather~ 13:12, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Pepperpaw limped behind Nightshade. By the pricking of my thumbs something wicked this way comes..... 13:14, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Bramblestar nodded before leaping off the rock. The Gathering was over now, so she summoned her cats together and left the Gathering place. --look me in the eye 19:31, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
