there is a ghost here. the ghost of everything that could have been and never was... Ghostpaw hissed at her comments on his non-existent parents. "I guess we'll never know." He had made his own conclusions on his absent parents, and he didn't need this TreeClanner intruding and swaying his mind. No, they were idiots, and they were gone.
He had a few thorns along his spine he couldn't reach, so he eventually surrendered. Standing up, he stretched, gratefully hearing a chain reaction of cracks down his spine. "I don't think any Clans are the best of friends. But FireClan's great. There's like no trees or cover so you can just run all day, every day. And the sun is just... wow. It's hot and always there. I wouldn't trade working up a sweat for nothing. IceClan must be crazy!" Even though they were hidden he lowered his voice on the last words. It got hard in FireClan during the winter. There's no cover except the dens, so the moment the snow come's down there's no escaping the cold. Why cats would want to live like that, he had no clue

Finchpaw reeled back, ears flattened against her skull. She looked at her paws. "O-oh, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean t-to offend you." She murmured under her breath. "I've just-it's just that I…" she looked up at him, giving him a small smile. "I've never met my real mom, and sometimes I just feel like she didn't want me. Like she wasn't proud of me, that she didn't like me, so she left me. Sometimes I don't feel wanted. Y'know?"
Under the cover of the bush, she inspected his grooming job. She shook her head. "Tsk, tsk." She meowed with a small laugh. "You forgot some right there. If you can't reach, I can get them for you." She suggested, unsure if it was okay to touch him without permission. As he explained FireClan, she nodded. "It sounds nice there. I do enjoy running, even if I'm not good at it. I'm not sure I would enjoy being hot all the time though. I like shade." She meowed.
"TreeClan is a lot different. We have all the types of trees you can imagine in our forest. It's so pretty back home, with all the green leaves. Sometimes, when the light shines through them, it looks like it's dancing on the ground. The trunks are massive, bigger than you think, and I could fit in between the roots of some of them." She explained excitedly. "If you like running, it would challenge you to weave among the trees without bumping into them as we do. We have to be really graceful to do that along with climbing trees." She meowed. "FireClan sounds great, but I'd never choose the prairies over our forest."

He'd met Rowansky's gaze briefly, but it was clear she was in the middle of a conversation. Quillfoot's gaze though, was slightly helpless. Firelight was nowhere to be seen, and neither was Snowflare for that matter. There weren't any familiar faces in Fireclan except for Cheetahfur, and the she-cat seemed far grumpier than she had when he'd previously met her. Still....perhaps she knew? Heading for Cheetahfur cautiously, the burned tom watched the she-cat's open hostility. Well no matter, there was something he needed to know. He didn't have to worry about her forgetting him though, did he? After all, it wasn't every day you met a cat with a half scarred body.
"Cheetahfur? I'm sorry for skipping the pleasantries, but is Firelight planned to be here tonight? I'd very much like to see her." He asked honestly, eyes sad. Having a mother in Fireclan, and a sister to boot, made things difficult.

there is a ghost here. the ghost of everything that could have been and never was... "S'all right," he murmured, distracted. He pursed his lips as he watched a scarred tom approach their target. He sighed slightly. Cheetahfur was no longer a lone target, and would this singed tom appreciate their favour of cheering the cranky cats up a little?
"We can still go for her?" he sighed, turning back to Finchpaw. "Or there are other crankies" and then an evil little smile spread across his face. "Or I dare you to get a leader!"

Finchpaw frowned as the mottled brown tom approached, tilting her head at the sight of his burns. "What do you think happened to him?" She asked in a whisper, nodding her head toward the male. "Either way, it looks like he just crashed our party. Not grumpy enough." She rolled her eyes in annoyance, turning back to the bi-colored tom.
"Well, what're we gonna do?" She inquired, searching the rest of the gathering for other grumpy, old cats. "Or, I dare you to get a leader!" Her eyes lit up, and she turned excitedly back to her newfound friend. She opened her mouth to agree, but stopped. "Wait. Let's think about this." She meowed instead. "We could get in huge trouble, couldn't we?" After a moment, she shrugged, unable to resist. "What the hell. Challenge accepted." She grinned crouching down low in a playful stance.
"But you have to do half the work. It has to be both of us, okay?" Finchpaw gazed out of the shrubs, finding the two leaders quickly. "That's your leader, yeah? The black one? We better not pick her, since, you know. You'd get in trouble. How about the other one? Cloverstar, right? RockClan? She wouldn't be able to do anything." She suggested.

there is a ghost here. the ghost of everything that could have been and never was... Ghostpaw flattened his ears. Darn, he thought he could dump the dare on Finchpaw and get off scott-free. Alas, that was a jerk move. He chewed on his bottom lip and he considered. Nope, no way was he going for Darkstar. That would have disaster written all over it. And he couldn't see a glimpse of Beechstar. He felt his heart flutter and his stomach churn. This was probably a disaster waiting to happen. It had catastrophe and consequences etched all over it. He loved it
"O-kay. What are you planning on?" She was the mastermind of the duo.

This was Featherpaw's first gathering. It was very exciting to meet new cats of all the clans,apprentices,warriors leaders,deputies,queens and elders. The silver she cat looked around and there was two apprentices talking. She wondered what they were talking about,but she took a place and sat down calmly,waiting to see if something was going to happen.All kinds of smell were entering into Featherpaw's nose, a good part of the clans were there. Fireclan,Iceclan,Rockclan and Treeclan. The two apprentices were talking something about the leaders,but Featherpaw couldn't heart it well. She twitched her whiskers with curiosity.

Finchpaw grinned. Ghostpaw seemed hesitant, but she knew'd be fun. "O-kay. What's the plan?" She flicked her tail, opening her mouth to speak. "Alright. So—" She broke off eyeing another apprentice, this one female, that was watching them. How did she find us? We're hidden, She thought, slight anger bubbling in her throat. Why did she have the right to eavesdrop?
The striped calico lowered her voice, moving her gaze slowly back to her friend and away from Featherpaw. "Let's just sneak up behind her. The only problem is, she's speaking with Darkstar. That's the problem. If we could get her away from Cloverstar..." She glanced back at the two leaders, one of which seemed slightly uncomfortable. "Or, we could just go for it."

there is a ghost here. the ghost of everything that could have been and never was... Ghostpaw's stomach churned. They would get it strife surely. He felt nautious in the pit of his stomach. "Dawnblaze looks cranky?" He added lightly. Usually he didn't do this sort of thing, but he liked the way Finchpaw's face lit up at the small sign of mischeif and adventure. He chewed on his bottom lip again, thinking. He didn't like the consequences of jumping out and attacking a leader in front of his own leader. With a submissive sigh of defeat he turned back to Finchpaw. "I could call her over?" He suggested

Finchpaw rolled her eyes at Ghostpaw. "Really? We have a perfect opportunity. It'll be hilarious. Why go for Dawnblaze?" She eyed him with a narrowed green gaze for a moment before coming to a conclusion. "You're nervous, aren't you!" For some reason she found the concept funny. Perhaps it was because he had seemed so sure of himself before. She held back the laugh though, because she didn't want to make him feel worse.
"I'm sure Cloverstar won't be too mad. She seems nice. Besides, if she gets too mad, we can just run and hide. And she can't punish us. She's the leader of a different Clan." With this in her mind, she studied the two leaders, trying to figure out a way to get Darkstar away from the tabby and white female. "I could call her over?" "Yeah! That'd be great!" She smiled happily. "Once she starts coming, I'll run towards where Cloverstar is and wait for you. You don't have to actually have to jump out if you don't want to." She shrugged.

there is a ghost here. the ghost of everything that could have been and never was... Ghostpaw nodded briskly. He didn't know what he was doing. What is he doing!?! But he pulled himself up straight and tall, and slipped through a gap in the bushes - learning from his mistakes. He strolled as casually as possible , flanking the bushes, heart threatening to burst. He stood where the bushes were to his left, easy for Finchpaw's ambush,. She's mad..."Ahh, Cloverstar?" He called. He wasn't too far away. Just come over, just come over. Actually don't. Just stay where you are and we'll go on our merry way. Jeez, he hoped in begged that they were not signing their names in blood on Cloverstar's bad-list

Freezepaw entered the gathering for the first time. New sights and smells wafted through her nostrils, and she looked around for other apprentices

So far, the Gathering wasn't going as well as Cloverstar had never anticipated in the first place. Everyone was milling about under the clear night sky, chattering endlessly, but there were no announcements to make. How could there be, when half of the leaders were absent?
She didn't think Darkstar was exactly good company for a fellow leader, either. Something about the cat unnerved her. Not that she'd ever admit it, obviously.
On the branch, she felt more like a misplaced warrior than a dignified leader. Even occasionally licking down some of her fur didn't help; it probably made her scruffiness more obvious. The willowy she-cat shifted slightly, trying to make herself more comfortable. Her leg still felt stiff and awkward in its cast, and she was sure it stuck out as easily as blood on snow.
What was there to do? Should she start the Gathering herself, or wait for Darkstar to go first? Or wait for the other leaders to arrive, if they ever did?
Cloverstar was sorely tempted to sneak off of the branch when Darkstar's back was turned and take a nap behind a bush somewhere. Her eyes kept closing involuntarily from exhaustion, induced by the still-lingering traces of poppy seeds that Morningflare had given her a few days before. If only she could sleep just a little...but no, no, she couldn't. If she fell asleep at a Gathering, she'd never hear the end of it. She still had yet to gain respect from the other leaders.
Just as she felt herself starting to nod off, a voice called her name, and that was it. She jumped, nearly falling off of the branch and scrambling awkwardly to regain her spot. "What? What?" she spluttered, wondering for a second if Beechstar really had arrived.
She looked around for who'd spoken. It wasn't from Darkstar, certainly. Her gaze landed quickly on the source, however, and her heart sank. Not another leader, as she'd been hoping. An apprentice, a tom she'd seen arriving with Darkstar. Why would he want to talk to her?
"...Yes?" She stared in curiosity, inwardly debating whether or not to get off of the branch and walk over. "What do you need?"

Thymepaw bounced into the clearing, a stick firmly in her jaws. She'd seen it on her way to the gathering, and had, had no particular reason not to pick it up. And so she had.
The light grey tabby took her seat beside another apprentice, situating her paws neatly and setting her stick down in front. Turning to Featherpaw, the she-cat smiled. Briefly she followed her gaze to two other apprentices, but shrugged off her curiosity. She was sure she could find something interesting on her own. "Hello! Who might you be, stranger?"

any Thunderhowl slunk into the clearing, tail twitching with barely suppressed irritation. Cats. He really didn't know how to deal with them. At all. He wasn't keen to learn either, and so he remained distant, crabby and altogether unsociable. Most of the time he preferred that, except for gatherings. He'd never hated a situation more than one in which he was expected to be friendly, and not even with cats of his own clan. Dealing with strangers simply made things more difficult, and more dangerous. Irritating a rival clan wasn't on his bucket list. Yet.
Taking a seat, the spiky-furred tom pulled his tail in close and lowered his head, glaring at the ground. It seemed likely that his solitary approach would scare away even the most curious of individuals, leaving him in peace until the leaders decided whether or not they wanted to speak.
