Half a moon had gone by since the incident with Birdpaw. She was quiet around him and usually avoided him if possible. She had gone on a few patrols with him but still never spoke a word to him. She just felt unsettled and restless. She sighed and shook her head as she padded alongside her clanmates to the gathering. As they got there Windclan, Shadowclan and Riverclan were already waiting for them. She looked around as her clan parted separate directions and went to talk with friends from different clans. All that was left was Birdpaw who looked over his shoulder at her as he padded off. She sighed and went to join the apprentices from the other clans. She saw Fawnpaw, Sunsetpaw and Thrushpaw standing in a circle, probably talking about how their training was going. She shook out her thick white pelt and picked a spot next to Autumntree as the meeting started to begin.
Lakestar, leader of Riverclan stepped up, her teal eyes glinting "Salutations" She mewed, her tail swaying as her gaze swept the rows of warriors below her "Today starclan has granted us with the gift of new kits, Buzzardkit and Stripedkit were born last night" She purred as meows of approval rose from the crowd "Hunting has been well, the rivers by our camp is full of fish, but fish brings foxes and loners though Riverclan can take care of that" She dipped her head and stepped back to be replaced with Pumastar of Shadowclan.
He lashed his thick brown and black tail and began " Shadowclan has been doing fine, though our old Head warior, Hawkeyes has passed away, Battlecry is a strong, brave and fierce warrior and I have no doubt he will be a good Head warrior, may Starclan approve of my choice".
murmurs rippled through the cats below him.
Screampaw's sharp ears twitched as she heard Leaopardfrost meow to Swallowheart "He's pretty young to be Head warrior, don't you think"?
Autumntree nodded and whispered to Screampaw "remember the battle we had against Shadowclan that one time? You were only a kit then and even as a new apprentice he was pretty fierce" She grinned "and handsome".
Screampaw watched the young tom pad to the base of the tall oak tree Pumastar was in. She pondered over Autumntree's comment and silently agreed.
