The Third Gathering

[Seafeather]

Seastar

Seastar just entered the Great Hollow with her clan. CloudClan was already there thankfully. She always got along well with Jadestar. If they were in the same clan, they would probably even be friends. Seastar jumped on the Great Sycamore next to Jadestar. "Evening Jadestar. How are you?" She inquired.

Spottedwing

Spottedwing pushed to the front of her clan to see who was there. CloudClan. Good. This wouldn't be an awkward wait. She stayed near the front because she was waiting for Rivershadow. Her new infatuation. She was hoping to sit by him, but if she didn't it wasn't a big deal. She would sit by Iceglade anyway.

Oakpelt

Oakpelt brushed pelts with Thicketheart, his mate. FrostClan had just entered the Hollow when he was thinking about them. I wonder how that FrostClan cat took her punishment? What was her name? Spotted...Spottedfoot? No, it was Spottedsomething, he just couldn't remember it. He walked over to the other FrostClan warriors, intending for a friendly chat.

[Raccoonstar]

RACCOONSTAR

Raccoonstar padded into the Gathering. He felt proud that he wasn't late this time. IvyClan wasn't here yet, but he could wait. The weight upon his shoulders was almost gone, but Slashsnow had put even more on top of him. At least SnakeClan was okay as a whole, or StarClan forbid, he'd be crushed under the problem's weight.

FALCONPAW

Falconpaw patiently awaited IvyClan's arrival. He found himself absently staring into Hazelpaw's eyes, and she was staring into his. They wound up sitting next to eachother. She nuzzled against him, and this made him feel lovestruck. Ah, when Hazelpaw became a warrior, they would be mates for life!

WINDPAW

Windpaw glared at Silentstar without him noticing. They were late to the Gathering! Windpaw needed to meet the other leaders so that he could spot their weaknesses to serve his own purposes. IvyClan would rule the forest when he was done with it.

AMBERSLASH

Amberslash was not allowed at the gathering, as usual. He sat in Nightleaf's ampty den, woozy from poppy. He seemed to see his siblings before him, and, deluded, he said, "Hey guys...how's life?" They didn't respond. "Whatever, weirdos." He then fell into a deep sleep full of the most calming things imaginable.

NIGHTLEAF

Nightleaf sat with Skyleaf and Smokeleaf. Stormleaf and IvyClan were late. "I hope Amberslash will be okay without me. He's so jittery." she softly spoke. Amberslash...would never be a good warrior. This she knew, but he didn't. He'd just be like Skypaw of SnakeClan, useless as a warrior.

DUSKWING

Duskwing sat in the heart of where FrostClan usually sat. She was sitting next to Iceglade and Oakpelt. IvyClan was late. She wondered why for a brief moment, then dismissed it as useless information. Her home was here now, in FrostClan.

[- - -evening ||]

MOONFIRE

The sky was clear, and the moon was at it's peak. As Raccoonstar gave the signal to proceed, she swiftly and gently, ran forward, and took her place at the base of the giant tree. She greeted each deputy and nodded to the leaders slowly making way up to the top of the branches. She looked out upon the gathering cats, and saw her apprentice, Hazelpaw, and Falconpaw sitting together. She looked toward the otter edge of the field and saw the FrostClan cat's arriving. Eveningpaw was trailing behind near the IvyClan warriors, probably looking for weaknesses, she thought. Her gaze drifted up to Raccoonstar, his black striped pelt shimmered in the moonlight. He was a handsome cat she had to agree, but the right one for her? And Thunderheart, she looked down across the field to the striped tabby tom, was he the right one for her? She shook it off, she had more pressuring matters to handle. She looked toward the tree, awaiting the clans to come together in their one time of peace.

SLASHSNOW

Slashsnow looked at the huddling cats, though it was greenleaf, she shivered, Raccoonstar's gaze never drifted from Moonfire's pelt. Her short talk with him, she realized, didn't do much to make him give her up, no matter how hard he told her that he would let her be. Her heart thudded to a constant beat, and she realized that she shouldn't be here. Awaiting to sneak back after every clan had arrived, she tripped over a cat's tail.
"Sorry!" she meowed!

OOC: This can be anyone!

EVENINGPAW

Eveningpaw slowly slinked to the back of the line, and even father off. She didn't want to be near Hazelpaw, she was with Falconpaw, and Eveningpaw wanted nothing to do with it. Her eyes narrowed as she realized that Hazelpaw preferred Falconpaw's company to her's. Fine!she thought, so be it! she was going to slink back as far as possible to get away from them too!
Her eyes wandered, and she saw a short apprentice glaring at Silentstar. Maybe they had something in common, and they both hated Silentstar! she quickly ran over to the scowling apprentice until she realized that he was IvyClan. He hated his own leader? Suddenly, she saw him look toward her, and she read his face- the face of a murderer, the face of power, the face of greed. Dislike coursed through her body, sending shivers up her spine. Windpaw, she narrowed her eyes, until they were only slants, she read his whole personality on his face. He would do anything to rise above his leader and take power!
She glided over to him, when she noticed him looking at her, "Evening!" she meowed, as if she had no care in the world

ICEGLADE

She sighed as she sat next to Spottedwing, these days, Rivershadow was all Spottedwing ever thought of! He wasn't even a nice cat! Well, if she liked him, so she did, but she needed lessons on talking to toms!
First things first - "Spottedwing, you like Rivershadow don't you," It wasn't a question.

[Seafeather]

Spottedwing

"Wait! What?!" Spottedwing said. Iceglade just sat next to her when she asked a question that was...absurd...absurdly true. "Well...he's...okay thing about this. You know how I like puzzles? Well Rivershadow, he's like a puzzle. It's something that I have to do. He's mysterious and he doesn't talk much, and I want to know why." Spottedwing gushed that out to her friend. Who was probably looking at her like a loon right now.

[Raccoonstar]

WINDPAW

He was glaring at the other leaders when he turned to notice Eveningpaw staring at him. "What are you looking at?" He snarled. He hated when cats stared at him for no reason. Especially other Clan cats.

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINGPAW

"Oh nothing!" hiding all that she had read on his face. He was a midly hadnsome tom, but his snarl and attitude made him look ugly in any meeting. He has some anger issues, she thought to herself. "So, is it your first time to the gathering? It's my First too!!" she meowed proudly, happy to actually say something that she meant, "I have only become a apprentice a few days again and was chosen to come to the gathering!" -not that he cared- "so, is it your first time?"
She wanted to get on freindly terms with this cat, even if he was evil, maybe she could get on his good side and later spoil his plans!

[Raccoonstar]

WINDPAW

This cat was much too talkative for his taste. Though she had read his face, and maybe his plans...he'd have to stay fairly close to her to make sure she didn't spill his plans. "Just sit here and stop talking." He said, annoyed.

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINGPAW

This cat was getting so annoying! "FIne!" she meowed, her tail stright up, and she sat down, keeping her distance from him. This cat was rude, selfish, annoying, and greedy, why was she even next to him?! But then she reminded herself that she needed to keep an eye on him. She decided to talk just to annoy him. She could talk and listen at the same time, maybe she could distract him.
"So, how's things in IvyClan?" she asked innocently.

[Raccoonstar]

WINDPAW

"Good." He said. "IvyClan is stronger than ever." He said simply. This cat was getting too close for comfort.

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINGPAW

She looked at this apprentice curiously, his pelt was bustling in the wind, and he didn't flinch or shiver at all.
"Wait!" she meowed suddenly, almost making him jump, she saw to her satisfaction, "I never told you my name! Can you guess?" got to get him talking, got to get him talking, she thought over and over again.

[Raccoonstar]

WINDPAW

"It's Eveningpaw." He said plainly. He knew from friends of hers. SnakeClan was always the "noble" and "friendly" Clan. "Why do you want to keep me talking?"

[- - -evening ||]

EVENINGPAW

She had had it with this snot-nosed apprentice, trying to be nice to him was injuring her pride. She glared at him.
"I don't keep you talking! For you information, I am just trying to see what other cats are like outside of my clan, obviously, IvyClan warriors need lessons on how to socialize with other cats besides themselves!" she stated, a cold gleam in her eye, and her words a bolt of lightning, slashing out at her opponent, "I'm leaving!"
She stalked away, her pace slow, but study and angry.
How dare he treat me like crowfood?, she thought to herself, I may be from a different clan, but we're all cats!
She wanted to turn around and see the expression on Windpaw's face, but she didn't, she kept her pride. If Windpaw were to go after she would be shocked, she doubted it thought.

[Raccoonstar]

WINDPAW

Windpaw watched her leave. His expression changed, he needed this cat to learn about SnakeClan. "Wait!" He shouted as he ran after her. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I'm just an apprentice. I have no right." How was it that he meant these words truthfully? Eveningpaw was rather pretty...no. That couldn't be it. He couldn't be in love. It wasn't possible. He had other intentions for his precious time. Love was never an option for him. It was an imaginary thought, destined to go under the "do not think about" section of his mind.

[Seafeather]

***Eve you still need to reply with Iceglade on here! lol! You know what Spottedwing and Iceglade were talking about before?? You just kinda ignored it : / you can go ahead and delete this when you see it Eve.***

[- - -evening ||]

ICEGLADE

Spottedwing was so loony! What was her problem?! Rivershadow? He was about the worst she could do, why pick him -because she liked "puzzels!" Iceglade rolled her eyes, "You can do so much better than him, Spottedwing," she replied with asperation, "but fine, if you like him, you like him. You just need a few tips on how to actually talk to toms, I'm mean sheesh, you really failed there out when you guys were talking in the woods!"

EVENINGPAW

"Waiit!" the haughty apprentice called, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I'm just an apprentice. I have no right." she stared at him, astonished, was she sure that this was Windpaw? She looked at him, yup, it was Windpaw alright. She stared at him curiously for a few seconds, and then realized -she wasn't positive- that he probably just wanted to keep an eye on her. She rolled her eyes, well this was unexpected. "Fine," she meowed, trying to be dignified, "Come on, let's sit here," she meowed sitting down and tapping a place next to her with her tail, "We can talk afterward, I think we are being a bit too loud for, Gorseear's liking," she flicked her tail to a pale gray tabby tom, furiously staring at them.
