Reincarnated as a cat

The gathering

Fadepaws Pov

It's been a few days since I became friends with Thornpaw. I learned more about him throughout my progress at an apprentice, he lost his sister at green cough when he was born.

He also doesn't like pity given onto him, he says it makes him feel weak how everybody is sorry of him like some suck up. He didn't want pity, I gave respected that and gave him none.

I made a few other friends like Silvermoon, the Medicine cat, Brambletail who was Thornpaws mentor, goldenpaw who was a golden coat she cat with great hazel eyes,

Who Tornpaw had a crush on, and Tails. I don't know how but he wished to be called tails, because of the way it moves it's like a hypnosis.

I was coming back from training for the day and Thornpaw and Tails came up to me, "hey, guess what?" Tails said, "hmm any hints?" I asked in thought.

"it's the full moon tonight" Thornpaw gave a hint, "no I still don't want to guess" I answered, "uh you can be such a mouse-brain sometimes" he teased

"well, you can be a prick sometimes" I retorted, "touche" he said shaking his head.

I taught him that word,

"we are going to the Gathering!" both exclaimed. I just gave them a confused face, "yay....what is that again?" I asked completely oblivious,

"it is when all four clans come together at the four oak tree's, while under a truce that they are at peace and can't fight each other" Brambletails voice spoke behind us, scaring us in the processes.

"Am I supposed to be excited or?" I asked not really knowing how to react weather it's a good or bad thing, "you are a mouse-brain aren't you?" Tails said giggling, "yes!" they both exlaimed,

"oh ok," I said softly, "yay! I can't wait to meet the other clans!" I said in an excited voice. I left them to talk and headed toward the medicine cats den, "hello fadepaw can I help you?"

asked a voice inside, "hey, i'm going to the gathering tonight" I told her, "oh, well congratulations and good luck!" she exclaimed,

"the only problem is....i don't understand what it is" I said looking down. Silvermoon raised an eyebrow, "you can spot the slightest twitch, fight very well, and analyze very well, yet you don't know what it is? wow you really are mouse-brained" she teased

I rolled my eyes at her, "why is everybod-cat keep saying that!? i mean that's the third time!" I said exasperated.

"well, the gathering is when every full moon, the cats of each clan choose a few warriors and apprentices to come. At the four trees, where it's held, they are held by a truce and are peaceful while they spread news of whats going on" She explained.

my mind was soaking in the information, then at all made sense, "got it~ thanks! do you need any help before I go?"

"no problem, I would appreciate it but i'm all stocked up but thanks" she answered. There was a yowl heard and I took that as my cue, "tell me what happened when you come back!" she called.

Hailstar lead the group of cats out of the thorn barrier, and we trekked through the woods. Soon the group came upon a large basin like area with four large oak trees, that had a lard rock in the middle of two.

I missed the signal and followed my clan-mates and looked around. I saw that other cats were here, they all seem to mingle into one another. 

"you two go and hang with the other apprentice's" Brambletail told us. My mentor Oakpaw came to me, 

"here at the gathering you can analyze you enemies and talk with them. remember, you have two ears and one mouth therefore you listen ore than you talk" He advised.
