Foxtail trotted towards the fresh-kill pile and placed a large vole on it. The clan began to watch him with curious eyes. The gathering was tonight. Foxtail lowered his eyes and scanned the area. "Shadowfeather, Ramblethorn, Petalpaw, and Fernpelt. You'll all be attending tonight's gathering."

"Shouldn't Dawnstar be choosing who attends and who doesn't?" Dawnheart retorted.

"Dawnstar is ill," Foxtail grimaced and then continued. "She asked me to decide." He prompted. "Now follow." He ordered. The four cats followed after their deupty into the unknown.

"Thunderclan has asked to have the gathering there." Foxtail explained, changing territory.

"Oh." Petalpaw muttered. Once they'd reached the Thunderclan territory they were greeted by familar faces.  Thunderclan's medicine cat, Rainpelt.

"Rainpelt!" Shadowfeather exclaimed. She padded over towards her old friend. Rainpelt bowed her head and licked her muzzle.

"Shadowfeather. It's been forever. Yes, yes." The medicine cat paused. "I heard about Windtail. He's been captured by twolegs. I got a message from StarClan." Foxtail's eyes went wide.

"You heard about Windtail. It shouldn't be told to other medicine cats outside our own clan! He's out medicine cat! Not yours!" Foxtail hissed taking several steps backwards.

"Stop." Shadowfeather hissed towards the deputy. Fernpelt stepped forth and nodded sympathicly to the Thunderclan medicine cat.

"I apologize for Foxtail's rudeness towards you." Fernpelt murmured and flicked her tail. "I'm sorry." She added before slinking backwards. Foxtail shot Fernpelt a warning glance then his eyes returned normal.

"I'm sorry." He added.  "We should be going."

"No. Stay. Please. For the gathering." She insisted.  Foxtail hesitated then nodded sharply. He followed behind the old medicine cat that belonged to Thunderclan.
