Wishfeather woke at dusk the same day, to the yowling of Ashstar, "all cats older enough to catch there own prey meet beneath the highledge for a clan meeting. She got up and padded over to join Ravenwing, Mintfang and Cloudwisp. "Hi Wishfeather,"said Cloudwisp.
"Hi," she meowed back. Then they all looked up to see what Ashstar would say.
"It's the gathering tonight," ashstar started "I will now anounce who is going. Wishfeather you will go to your first gathering as a warrior."
Yes she thought, I will get to see Kestralheart.
"Ravenwing you can go, and you Hollyoaks and Lionpelt."
"I can't go ," meowed Cloudwisp.
"I'm sorry Cloudwisp," said Wishfeather, "but not everyone can." She comforted.

"Come on Wishfeather, you'll make us late,"yowled Ravenwing.
"Coming," she said, and ran over to catch up with them.
The cats walked silently to the ancient oak. "Do you think Ashstar will anounce your warrior ceremony?" said Hollyoaks.
"Probably," she meowed briskly, she was thinking about Kestralheart, she loved Kestrelheart but he was from Thunder clan and she was River clan she would never get to be with him. She remembered the times when they were apprentices and she would sneak out of camp to play with him. She would be Wishstar leader of Night clan and he would be Kestrelfur, her loyal deputy. They would fight many battles and play games. Now that they where warriors that was all lost, they had so much responsibility: collecting prey, going on patrols. Wishfeather looked up, "were here," she meowed.
"Good Wishfeather, anything else obvious that you want to point out, " Flametail growled.
"Hay hay,"said Ravenwing "Flametail don't be so hostile."
Flametail muttered something under his breath, then ran to his Wind clan friends. "Let's sit over there," meowed
Ravenwing, nodding over to some Thunder clan cats, Kestralheart was there. Ok ok thought Wishfeather, just stay normal.
They padded over to the young group of cats. "Hi guys," said Ravenwing "Erm this is Wishfeather, you might already know her."

"Hi Wishfeather," said a small tortioshell she cat, "I'm Goldenpaw, you and Kestralheart used to hang out at gatherings a lot, right?"
"Yeah we did," Wishfeather meowed awkwardly."
"Cool,"she meowed, then walked away.
"Yep," said a redy-orange she cat, "that's leafpaw for you, a bit of a loudmouth."
Ravenwing spoke now "oh come on Rowanberry, she's not that bad."
A yowl rang out from Leafstar, to show the beginning of the gathering.

"Leafstar you begin," yowled Darkstar.
Leafstar cleared her throat, "prey has been running well, we have a new apprentice called Goldenpaw."
"Goldenpaw, Goldenpaw" sang the crowed. Ashstar went next.
"Prey has been running well," he began "we have a new warrior, Wishfeather.
"Wishfeather Wishfeather," sang the crowed.
"Darkstar you next," meowed Ashstar.
Darkstar cleared his throat, like he had been waiting for this moment all his life, "Thunder clan has been trespassing in our terratory," he growled.
"No we have not," raged Leafstar.
The crowd began to protest.
"We didn't trespass."
"Did too."
Wishfeather looked up to see the clouds cover the full moon.
"The gathering is over," announced Ashstar.
