Chapter 4

A yowl woke Lightningpaw up. she jumped up and walked into the clearing. The tall shadows of the trees streched arcoss the clearing. The sun was starting to set. Have I been asleep that long? Shadestar at on the high log. His green gaze was fixed on Lightningpaw. She quickly ran over and sat next to her mother.

"told you that your like a kit" Greydawn hissed into her ear. Lightningpaw rolled her ryes and got up. She flicked her tail uder his noes and sat the other side of shadowmoon.

"Right the cats going to the gathering tonight are Greydawn, Troutpool,Snowfeather, Thistlehawk, Sunsky and Lightningpaw" wow my first gathering! She looked at Greydawn who looked like he just ate fox dung. He looked at her and narrowed his eye, he gave her a silent hiss and stalked of. Snowfeather ran up to her.

"Finally I get to go to the gathering with my two best friends!" snowfeather said while jumping like a kit. Sunsky walked up to them and chuckled.

"so when do we go?" asked Lightningpaw.

"when shadestar says" replied Sunsky. Lightningpaw wondered if Treepaw would be there.

"we are now leaving!" bellowed Shadestar. Lightningpaw ran out of the thorn tunnle with the other cats. The forest sents hit her black nose. She took a deep breath and took in all the sents. Shadestar stood next to her

"how is training going?" he asked while cocking hid head to one side and, keeping at her pace

"Great! Sunsky is a great mentor." she replied. Shadestar smiled at her and walked next to Troutpool. The females bellie was very big. She is gonna have kits! Lightningpaw thought. Shadestar must be the father! he never left her side.The rest of the walk was silent. Then they came cross a cave. Lightningpaw could smell different cats that have passed though the cave. Lightningpaw went after sunsky . once the tunnle ended it opended up to a huge clearing. there were four large oak trees jn the middle. only three trees had a fallen rock next to them.

"right go and share tonges with the other cats." Shadestar said. Lightningpaws father ran up to a Streamclans warrior. She let out a purr when he came up to her. Why is my father talking to her? she would question him later. She looked around for Treepaw who was no where to be seen. Lightningpaw saw a black female sitting on her own. Lightningpaw walked up to her

"Hi" said Lightningpaw. the female smiled

"hi I'm Nightpaw from Streamclan. What's your name?" she asked

"I'm Lightningpaw from Darkclan" Nightpaw smiled.

"who is the long furred male?" she asked while pointing her muzzle at Greydawn

" oh that thing is Greydawn" Lightningpaw said while rolling her eyes. Nightpaw laughed.

"So how are things in Darkclan?" she asked

"Good and in Streamclan?"

"good there are lots of frogs for us to eat"

"The gathering has started!" shouted Shadestar. the leaders sat in their own tree looking down on the cats bellow.

"may I start?" asked a grey female

"yes sure Flowerstar" replied Shadestar

"prey is running well and cloudsky wil soon be having kits!" she said happiley cats started to talk

" that is all" she dipped her head. a brown female with amber eyes stepped forward

"well we have a new aperentice Nightpaw that is all" the female dipped her head

"Nightpaw! Nightpaw!" the cats yowled Lightningpaw yowling the most

" thankyou Honeystar. We also have a new aperentice Lightningpaw"

"Lightningpaw! Lightningpaw!" the cats yowled Nightpaw the most. Greydawn did not say a word. her blood started to boil.

" the gathering is over" Shouted honeystar.

"see you around" Nightpaw said while running after her clanmates. Lightningpaw missed Nightpaw already.

Shadestar yowled and Darkclan cats followed. Lightningpaw looked at her father. he looked sad and said good bye to the female. Is my father cheating on my mother?
