"I want to say which cats I'm taking to the gathering." Breezestar starts. "Of course Mouseheart, Flaringpaw and Cinderblaze can come." "I hope I can go!" Appletail mutters to her brother. "Yeah, this will then be the first time we go to the gathering as warriors!" Blackspot mumbles. Breezestar continues; "Windtail, Appletail, Blackspot, Grasspetal, Deersprint, Turtletail and Willoweyes." Breezestar is leaving the strongest warriors here, is he scared that something is going to happen? Mouseheart asks herself. Flaringpaw also seems to think the same thing, he looks at his mentor. "We'll talk later." Mouseheart mutters. "And Blossomwhisker, you probably understand why I'm leaving you here." Breezestar says. Blossomwhisker looks disappointed, but nods.

"Fairystar? Are you in there?" Whitefoot asks. "Yes, come in." Fairystar mutters. Guess I'll think about which cats I'm taking to the gathering later. "What's up?" Fairystar asks. "I'm expecting kits." Whitefoot mutters. "Redfur told me that it's better to join Flowersniff in the nursery." "Oh, yeah, that great." Fairystar mutters. "Is there something wrong?" Whitefoot asks. "No, there's just a nightmare that is haunting me every night. But it's nothing special." Fairystar mutters. "Oh okay. I'll guess that I'm leaving you alone then." Whitefoot says. "Whitefoot?" Fairystar asks. "I'm really proud of you. You're a good cat." "Thank you, Fairystar. It's all thanks to you." Whitefoot mumbles. Fairystar walks out of her den after Whitefoot. "Palefur!?" She yells. "What's wrong Fairystar?" Palefur asks. "I want to have a clan meeting, to say which cats I'm taking to the gathering tonight." Fairystar says. "That's great. Do you know who you're taking?" Palefur asks. "I guess so. I am just not sure about Peltclaw, I want to take him so I can keep an eye on him. But I also rather not have him with me." Fairystar mutters. "I would leave him here. And if you're worried, ask a cat to keep an eye on him." Palefur says. "That's a great idea, thanks Palefur." "All cat old enough to catch their own prey, come to the high rock for a clan meeting!" Fairystar yells. The cats gather around her. "I want to say which cat can go the the gathering this night." She says. "Palefur, Redfur, Lilyfeather, Dasclaw, Scorpionfeather, Spardust, Flyblaze, Onestripe, Dapplepaw, Crystalpaw and Snowstorm." Fairystar says. Greenclaw looks disappointed. "I'm sorry Greenclaw, but I won't take you because you have to stay with Whitefoot." Fairystar mutters. Greenclaw nods, with understanding in his eyes. Fairystar jumps of of the high rock, Sharkfur walks towards her. "Why won't you take me?" He asks softly. "I want you to keep an eye on Peltclaw, I don't trust him, and I know you understand. You're the only one who I trust with him." Fairystar mutters. She sees Peltclaw looking at her form the other side of the camp. "Cats of Thunderclan!" Fairystar says. "I want no one to leave the camp without Sharkfur's permission." The cats look a little shocked. "Is there something wrong?" "Is there something we don't know about?" "What's going on?" "Why not?" All sort of questions get asks at the same time. "I just want everyone to be save and Sharkfur is going to take care of that for me." Fairystar says. "There's nothing anyone should be worrying about."
