Lionfoots Revenge

Chapter 14: The Gathering

Lionpaw and the patrol padded back into camp. As Lionpaw went to grab a piece of freshkill Tigerkit bumped into her. "Sorry." He mewed. "Can you please pass me a mouse?" He asked. "Sure." Lionpaw replied then handed him a freshly killed mouse. "Lionpaw. I would like you to go to the gathering tonight." Froststar said. "Thankyou Froststar!" Lionpaw thanked him. "Make sure to eat and get some rest. We leave at sundown." Froststar told her then padded over to Willowwhisp. "I wonder what's up with them." Tigerkit asked. "Probably just clan duties." Lionpaw suggested, slightly curious herself. But she shook the idea from her head and dug into her mouse. After she finished eating she headed over to the apprentices den for a nap. "Hi Lionpaw!" His brother Wolfpaw greeted. "Hey Wolpaw." She replied. "Are you going to the gathering?" He asked. "Yeah. Will you be coming?" She replied. "No." He shook his head. "Just make sure to tell me all about it when you come back!" He exclaimed, happy for his sister. They continued talking until the sun had set. "I've got to go. Bye Wolfpaw." Lionpaw said to his brother then padded over to the camp entrance. "Is everyone here?" Froststar asked. "I think so." Badgerface replied dipping his head. "Then let's go." Froststar told them. The group headed off into the woods. Twigs cracked beneath them as they made their way to the island. They eventually reached the log. Lionpaw leaped onto the log, digging her claws into its rough bark. Then she crossed the log and waited for the others to follow. "Go ahead and talk to the other cats. Just don't say anything that could be used against us, since the truce only lasts for the night." Froststar told her then walked over to the other leaders. Lionpaw gazed in awe at her surroundings. This reminded her of the dream she had of the four great oaks, and the highrock. As she walked around the clearing, she bumped into a silver she cat named Silverfern. "Sorry!" Lionpaw quickly apologized. "No problem. You must be new. I'm Silverfern." She greeted. "I'm Lionpaw. Nice to meet you." Lionpaw replied. "I gotta go, it's starting!" Silverfern said then padded back to her clan mates. Lionpaw walked over to her clan mates and sat down. The five leaders sat gloriously in the branches of the oak tree. Froststar opened his mouth and began to speak,"Thunderclan is doing well. Prey is beginning to slow but we still have enough. That is all I have to report." Froststar finished. Icestar lifted her head then spoke,"Riverclan is doing well also. Deerdapple has taken on Reedpaw as an apprentice. Otherwise we have nothing to report." The cats in the audience cheered,"Reedpaw!Reedpaw!Reedpaw!" Shadestar began to speak,"Shadowclan is well also. A fox was chased from our territory." Brightstar began to speak,"All is well in Windclan. Nothing to report." She finished then stepped back. Dandelionstar(I think +Mirage Moon said it was fine, or maybe it was just silverfern) then delivered her news. "The gathering is over." She finished. Then the cats grouped together in their own clans and prepared to leave.
