This is how gatherings will work. Leaders may pick 4 warriors and three apprentices to go to gatherings. If there are no apprentices in the clan they may bring 5 warriors. In the response to this thread the leaders will say which cats are going. Do not whine, do not complain. your deputy and your medicine cat do not have to count towards the count.
ThunderClan
Skystar paced around camp. He had decided who he was going to take to the gathering. With a mighty yowl his voice echoed through the clearing.Frostbite,Nightowl,Rowansky,Sunleaf,Brookpaw,Patchpaw and Stormpaw, you will be going to the gathering tonight." The tom mewed. He flicked his tail asking for them to follow. He padded out of his camp and headed towards WindClan territory and around the lake. He didn't say anything else. The Gathering wouldn't be all to exciting. None of the clans had anything against the other that he knew of.

Patchpaws eyes lit up as bright at stars in the night. She was going to her first gathering! She looked to her sister speechless and couldnt believe it! They were all going! Frostbite left her mind about how she got treated by her today and was now focusing on making Thunderclan look good and brave. Puffing out her chest she left her sisters side and padded after her father quickly.
The frosty white she cat watched her leader leave the camp and no sooner was she following her leader with out one word. There was nothing to say. Patchpaw was right next to her father and Frostbite couldnt help but give a small smile.
Something though.. was off. About this medicine cat. She was tired all the time now and felt dizzy. shaking her head her stomach finally ended up hurting. Feeling like she had to throw up she kept it down. but what was there to throw up? She hadnt eaten in two days. Maybe it was just exhaustion.
Patchpaw then left her fathers side and bounced past the medicine cat with out one glance and raced to be with her sister.
Frostbite picked up her pace a bit and fell just a few feet behind her leader but was more focused on what was going on with her then anything else. Nothing about her felt right. She couldnt refuse to go to a gathering. It was her kits first gathering. Seeing them very excited made her feel a bit better but not by much.

Kestrelstar
The gathering, always an event to be held at hand, exciting, and a worry. Kestrelstar stood on the large hill and looked at the clan, those chosen to go was a bit last minute, because she hadn't been able to think about those who deserve to go, but, in all good time, the cats would get their turn. "Blackhawk, Pebbleshine, Mosspaw, Frostpaw, Stonepaw, Lilypool, Heatherleaf, Willowfeather and Tigershadow will be going to this moon's gathering. Let's leave quickly my dears." Kestrelstar called. As she jumped down the hill and came up to the entrance.

Nightowl walked side by side with Skystar. He would glance back from time to time making sure no one was falling behind. He noticed Frostbite hung back a little farther than usual. But at his next glance she had closed some distance. Maybe she had gotten a pebble in her paw. What ever it was she didn't look good. But the medicine cat would know when to stay behind and when not to so she must be healthy enough.
Stormpaw swished his tail he was so excited. As they started off he raced ahead a little than dropped back when Nightowl or one of the other warriors ordered him back. He couldn't help it he was just so excited. it was his first gathering. He didn't even know any battle moves and he was already picked for the gathering.
Lilypool stopped as she fallowed Kestralstar than darted back to her sister and licked her ear. "You'll go next time you'll see." With that she raced after Kestralstar not wanting to get to far behind. She hated that she had to lead Silverpool back at camp. The two never did anything seperatly.

Pyropaw looked at skystar when he announced who was going. Ofcourse he would pick his kits over his own nephew he thought and stomped back into the apprentices den.
*****************************************************
This was a hard decision for reedstar to make. He was thinking about iit all day. Minnowpool, Crimsonleaf, Cinderglow, Robinflight and Birchpaw He said. Ofcourse he was going to pick his mate so that wasnt the hard part. The hard part was all the other warriors and apprentices. He walked to the enterence and looked behind him to see if everyone was ready.

Nightstar
The windclan leader walked out of his den and looked around. He walked up to the rock and jumped on it. Since all of you know the gathering is tonight i am taking Rabbitfur, Otterclaw, Foxtail, Swiftstep, Skyfeather, Cloverpaw and Graypaw He said. He jumped down from the rock and padded over to the nursery. When you three are apprentices, which is soon, you can go but right now, don't cause any trouble. Heatherpetal will look after you until i'm back. Nightstar said to his three kits.

Raccoontail nodded and rolled her eyes. She padded after Pyropaw and poked her head in the apprentices den."You will get to go next time I promise, how about some battle training instead?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
Skystar looked back over his shoulder. His eyes fell on his mate. Something wasn't right.ThunderClan slow down!" he mewed. He dropped his pace quite a bit and padded towards frostbite. His gray fur touched her white colored fur. He held her weight the rest of the way to the island."Perhaps I should take you back Frostbite. Nightowl can lead the gathering tonight..." he mewed.
Brookpaw watched her father with a raised brow when he moved over to Frostbite. Was there something going on between the two? Instead she shook it off and padded into the clearing. There were so many other cats."Look at all the cats...." she mewed looking around. Her eyes fell on a russet and ginger tom from ShadowClan."who's that...he looks...so strong..." She mewed standing close to her sister.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minnowpool brushed her cheek against Reedstar as he called her name. She let out a warm purr. She walked into the forest with Reedstar. She felt special. It wasn't often that you could say you were the mate of a leader. She twitched her whiskers and looked at all the cats at the island."The clans are at peace Reedstar, there won't be too much to talk about. Perhaps we should let cats mingle longer..."
Robinflight got excited. This would be his first gathering as a warrior. He stood up and raced out. Although Reedstar wasn't much behind him. He padded into the island and let his fur relax. He was nervous he didn't know why.He had been to a gathering before. However, this time Reedstar would be letting the forest know that Robinpaw was no more. Instead he was Robinflight. He heard the pawsteps of other clans. His gaze fell on Brookpaw. She was pretty. He had never seen her before. His tail tip flicked in greeting. He needed to get to know this she-cat....

Frostbite relaxed a bit when she felt her leader touch her. Just the smallest touch wanted to make her go wild but she was able to control herself. She looked at her leader and didnt feel like talking. She couldnt go back! That would make them look weak!
Walking in step with her mate she shook her head but kept her eyes forward. Her paws shook from walking and she was starting to see two of everyone and thing.
Patchpaw looked down at all the cats and felt her jaw drop open. She couldnt believe she was finally here.
"Your guess is as good as mine on that one.. All the cats here are gonna look strong Brookpaw, yur able to tell which are warriors and which are apprentices. But I think each clan brings their strongest warrior to show off to show how strong their clan is.."
|
[/b] As if patchpaw knew what she was talking about. She stayed by her sisters side and then looked back at her father and medicine cat. Rolling her eyes she looked back down the hill and felt her paws tingle with excitement. She wanted to go talk to cats!

Robinsong pricked her ears at the sound of Nightstar's voice. The Gathering! She had almost forgotten! Standing to her paws and padding out of the medicine cat den, she looked up at the bright, round moon. Silverpelt was twinkling. She trotted over to the grou of warriors and apprentices who were also going, pleased to hear that her apprentice was coming too. She waited at the camp entrance for Nightstar to emerge from the nursery.

Sumleaf glanced up at Skystar's call, amber eyes shining. The young she-cat loved gatherings, and if this night wasn't perfect for one, she didn't know what was. She gave her pelt a few embarrassed licks, knowing that despite her tomboyish behavior and lack of grooming, she still had to represent ThunderClan well tonight. She certainly wasn't going to let some mouse-brain tom push her around, but this was different. After a few heartbeats, she quickly rushed to join the crowd of cats heading out. She followed closely, letting the energy that seemed to spark from pelt to pelt give her a steady rhythm. She padded in with a few of her clanmates cheerfully, looking from face to face for someone to talk to.
Frostpaw's first response when her name was called was to shrink in horror and dread. True, she was frightened when it came to meeting new cats, but she could handle it for her leader. It was the fact that Emberpaw didn't get called that made her stomach churn. Gathering her courage as the rush of cats who were getting to go swept her along with them, she chanced a glance over her shoulder. Her heart dropped. Emberpaw stood in the entrance, tail lashing furiously, blue eyes pure fire. Shuddering, the young apprentice quickly moved a couple tail-legnths behind the RiverClan leader.
Rabbitfur leaped to his paws, yellow eyes bright and cheerful. The brown ticked tom almost looked as excited as a new apprentice. He loved the gathering, loved meeting new friends, even if they didn't stay friends for long. No, they'd be at each others throats again as soon as the full moon passed. He shook his head slightly to clear it of dark thoughts before bounding over to wait with the group of cats gathering around the entrance.
Black-kit looked up at his Father, smiling softly. Personally, he wasn't too worried about not getting to go. He'd have his time soon enough. "I'll keep them from acting up," he volunteered, shooting a playful, mock glare at his littermates. Of course, if they did happen to do anything, the young tom probably wouldn't do all that much to be honest, except worrying about them and trailing behind. He leaned up to try to touch noses in a goodbye to Nightstar.

Timberpaw was disappointed when she heard she would not be going to the gathering. She had been working so hard...was it because of the loner encounter? Well...not everyone would get to go every time. Maybe if she worked especially hard this moon, she could go to the next one. With that thought in mind, she went about checking the dens and making sure the moss was still good. Just because she was disappointed didn't mean she could stop being useful. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ It was no surprise to Pebbleshine that she was chosen. It was a sort of unspoken rule that deputies and medicine cats went to most - if not all - gatherings. Still, she was pleased, and happy for the apprentices that were chosen to go for the first time. It must be so exciting for them! Frostpaw...didn't look excited, but she tended to be on the shy side. Maybe she just wasn't showing it. The medicine cat padded after her leader, ready as ever and looking forward to hearing news from the other medicine cats. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Birchpaw's eyes widened when he heard that he would be attending the gathering. There were so many cats there! What was he going to do? But the leader's decision was his to make. If he wanted Birchpaw there, then Birchpaw would have to go. Besides, he had to attend at least one gathering in order to become a warrior... When the cats were ready, he joined them, padding as close to his sister as he could without their pelts touching. She made him feel a bit more secure, but he didn't want to get in her way. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Cedarkit watched as the cats got ready to go to the gathering. She knew she couldn't go, as did her siblings she was sure. Kits didn't go to gatherings except under very special circumstances, and this was a normal gathering as far as anyone knew. She nodded when her father told them to stay out of trouble. "You don't have to worry about us!" |

Hazelpaw was disappointed that she wasn't going and said good-bye to her siblings before heading back to the apprentice den. The tiger cat's tail drooped out of disappointment and exhaustion. She realized she was tired and curled up in her nest, fast asleep.
~~
Rowansky was glad he was going. His first time as a warrior. He was a little disappointed that Timberpaw wasn't going, but she would have another turn soon enough. Timberpaw had vanished though, and he was rushed out of camp with no time to say goodbye. His own apprentice, Stormpaw, was going. He was glad about that. He followed his clan out of the camp.
On arriving at Pine Island, the amount of cat there surprised him. They didn't seem so much larger than him now. He had grown a considerable amount since his last gathering. He figured he'd better go socialize but was unsure where to start.
~~
To Cinderglow, going to a Gathering was no big deal. She had gone before and would go again. The odd pelted she-cat followed her clan out of their camp. At the gathering she approached a large tabby tom whom smelled like ThunderClan. Rowanpaw.
"Hello, Cinderglow, is it?" Rowansky said. She had made an impression on him, with her odd colored pelt. Patchy ginger, tan and white.
"Hello Rowanpaw." She said with a smile.
"It's Rowansky now." He said proudly, sitting up straighter in pride.
~~
Stonepaw was so happy to be going to the gathering. It would be his first one. He was a bit nervous,but at least Mosspaw would be there with him. His eyes went wide at the sight of all of the cats. He had a hard time believing that all of them were clan cats. He had lost sight of Mosspaw and wondered who to talk to.

OOC: hi everyone, I ended up adding Heatherpetal and Pinespot to this post because Nightstar went to the nursery wanting Heather to watch his kits and also Pinespot being his future mate is leaving. After this post, they won't be in anymore of them and it will only be Graypaw from now on:
IC: Graypaw was surprised to be going to a gathering since he had only recently became a moment of WindClan. He was a little afraid and watched as Nightstar went to the nursery saying bye to his kits. Graypaw wanted family and it just felt like he was always missing something that use to be very close by. Shaking his head clear of this thoughts and walking over to the place where the others who were called to wait for Nightstar. Graypaw could see that Pinespot was telling Skyfeather bye and looked around camp as he waited for Nightstar.
Pinespot had followed after Skyfather and touch noses with her "I'll see you later after the gathering and I want you to tell me everything that happens OK dear one" He said smiling at the she-cat. He sat beside Skyfeather as the others waited for Nightstar and had his tail wrap with Skyfeathers.
Heatherpetal had stayed in the nursery during the call for those going to the gathering. But she could hear all that was going on from her nest and was a little surprised when Nightstar came in. She watched as Nightstar told his kits bye and smiled "I'll keep a good eye on them Nightstar don't worry" She said smiling kindly. Than she chuckled at what Black-kit had to say and knew the young kit would try to help her. Just than Robinkit went to leap on Black-kit so they could play fight. Heatherpetal nodded to her leader .

Blackhawk sighed hearing his name. "I can't tell to be grateful or annoyed." he mumbled. He was joking of course. He had a duty and wasn't going to waste it. He slowly followed the group to the Gathering
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
He gazed around upon reaching the horde of cats as they talked. Luckily he could hardly hear them, and that just made it all the more easy to sleep through this. "Time to see if you can sleep sitting down now..." he mewed. Blackhawk closed his eyes and drifted off into his imagination. Though there wasn't much to see. He usually just thought of sleeping. Kinda helped.

"ThunderClan Go mingle, learn about your enemies." Skystar watched as his clan disperced below. He stood close to his mate and even gave the she-cat a lick beweetn the ears."I will stay by your side until I must make the announcements. I will try to make the speaking go as quick as possible love..." Skystar mewed. His tail gently touched the she-cats flank and his gray fur brushed against hers.
Brookpaw nodded."true, but we should go to meet our enemies like our dad said. So I guess it's okay to talk to the tom right?" She didn't wait for patch paws answer before she padded over to the russet and ginger tom."I...umm I saw you looking at me, and thought I'd come over...I'm Brookpaw...from ThunderClan." she mewed shyly.
The russet and ginger tom blinked and noded."Robinflight from ShadowClan. I'm your neightbor." he joked. Robinflight looked the she-cat in the eye and parted his jaws to speak. The two were chatting for quite a bit getting to know each other. Robinflight was a good battler and Brookpaw was learning hunting quite well. Occasionally the tom noticed the she-cat looking back at another apprentice. The two looked alike so he assumed they were sisters."Brookpaw.,..do you think I can meet you at the boarder tomorrow night at moonhigh?"
Brookpaw looked at her sister she felt bad for leaving her but Robinflight was really cool! He was a strong warrior who was about to get an apprentice when the kits in ShadowClan were apprenticed."As long as my dad Skystar doesn't find out. I would be able to sneak out. I'm training all day tomorrow. and then the next day is my break. So ill get to sleep in after talking to you!."
The leaders daughter? Robinflight's jaw drop. What was he getting himself into. He just shook his head and looked up. The leaders will be talking soon. Feel free to stay." Robinflight's eyes flashed with amusement as his russtet tail touche hers gently. He was glad to have a new friend.
