Nightclouds Heartache

Chapter ten

  "Shadowclan has been well. Though, prey has been scarce and our twoleg problem is getting worse." A large black tom, the leader of Shadowclan, started.
"Doesn't sound like they're well." Mudclaw murmured next to her. Nightpaw nodded her head, in agreement. She had temperately forgotten her anger due to her awe of the gathering.
"That is all." Blackstar stepped back calmly, though his eyes looked distressed. Next a big orange tom stepped up.
"That's Firestar. He saved the whole Windclan once!" Owlpaw who was on her left, whispered excitedly.
"Thunderclan is also short on prey, though our warriors are working hard to stock up. Twolegs are getting close to territory making all their racket, that is scaring away the prey. We recently named a new warrior, Spiderleg." Firestar paused for the cheers from the Thunderclan cats to die down, and nodded to Leopardstar. Firestar stepped back, replaced quickly by Leopardstar taking her place at the front of the Highrock.
"Riverclan is working hard. The twolegs have been scaring most of the fish so we have started to hunt land prey. Recently, we have had new life in the clan. Mosspelt and Dawnfoot have both given birth to a litter of kittens." Leopardstar finished.
Nightpaw watched as Leopardstar step back and invite Tallstar up. As Tallstar began his speech Nightpaw's thoughts drifted else where. Crowpaw should be here for this. Why isn't Tallstar doing more to find him?! A soft poke in her side distracted Nightpaw from her thoughts.
"Nightpaw are you okay? You were growling to yourself." Owlpaw asked, eyes wide in concern.
"I'm fine. I can growl to my self if I want to. There's no rule against it!" Nightpaw snapped. To Nightpaw's annoyance, Owlpaw's eyes changed from concerned to amused.
"All right grouchy paws." Owlpaw purred. Nightpaw pouted and turned away.
The end of the gathering was a blur for Nightpaw. Once she got in her den all she could remember was a long walk back. She was still mad at Pinetail for what she had said. Thoughts of Crowpaw, Pinetail and her mother washed around in her head until she fell asleep.
