APRIL 2015 GATHERING

[Speckheart]

"N-no!" Speckpaw shook his head. "I'm n-not a medicine cat, but I-I wish I was. Cr-Crowwing was just the o-only one available at th-th-the time."

Foxpaw suddenly walked up to them. "H-hi Foxpaw," he greeted. "It's a-amazing, but sc-scary." The gray tom was very overwhelmed by the amount of cats at the gathering.

"N-not older by much," Speckpaw insisted. When Firepaw was mentioned, he looked around to see if she was there. His brother was right- she hadn't shown up. "She's a-a friend. Firepaw isn't h-hurt, though." Speckpaw looked at Softpaw with admiration. Not many cats would show concern for cats they don't know.

[Crowwing]

Crowwing flattened his ears, having the same image as Grayshade regarding Wildstar. He perked up once more when Grayshade began speaking about her decision of being a medicine cat.

"I think almost everyone expected to be the leader's apprentice." The tom smiled, looking down at Speckpaw, glad that the shy Fireclanner was socializing with others. Just like what they said in conversation before.

"Right. I feel like the only actual excitement of being a warrior is the mentoring process. Other than that, being a medicine cat makes you sort of the heart of the clan. Besides the queens."

[Deleted]

softpaw let out a sigh of relief, glad the other cat, firepaw was ok. yet again she turned to look at the gathered cats and shook a little. turning back to the apprentices she asked "speckpaw, since your not much younger than foxpaw, are you almost a warrior too?"

[Foxclaw]

fox paw looked over at him " i think so.."

[Speckheart]

Speckpaw nodded, "Crowwing j-just told Darkstar I-I-I was ready. You l-look about warrior a-age too. Are you a-about to be a warrior as w-well?"

[Firebird]

Firepaw glanced around. She couldn't believe her eyes-an actual Gathering! She was so excited to be able to go! Running around new scents and faces, the ginger she-cat skidded to a halt beside her best friends, Foxpaw and Speckpaw, and grinned sheepishly at them. "Sorry for being late!" she meowed.

[Grayshade]

"It does seem like it would be fun to mentor a warrior apprentice!" Grayshade said with a grin. "I've always thought that. Mostly so I could be snippy to them, but also... I don't know. It would be like it formed some sort of special bond--I see warriors with their former mentors like they're siblings. Well, some of them are."

She nodded slowly. "The heart of the Clan. I never thought about it that way... But it makes sense. And the queens, of course." She laughed a little. "Privately, I've always thought queens have it the hardest."

[Foxclaw]

"not an issue! I'm just glad your here !" He smiled" I only met one cat from another clan so far I wonder what has happened lately in other clans" he said excitedly

[Firebird]

Firepaw nodded. She was certainly curious as to what was happened just a few paces from the border line. It could be anything, really. But her imagination conjured up rather sad and perhaps horrid thoughts-assuming the worst would have to be mentioned by the leaders. Yet she didn't let it show she was worried. My heart would break if something bad happened to FireClan.... Looking around at all the other cats, she wondered if any shimmer in their gazes or forced laughter was a sign of grief. Or... maybe just suspicion.

"I wonder if we'll find out later." Firepaw shrugged, managing a soft smile. "But maybe not."

[Duststorm]

Duststorm stepped into the clearing. He wondered if Rainbreeze would show up, or his apprentice, Fawnspring. But, he supposed he would find out later. Walking around, the young TreeClan warrior wondered if there were any friendly faces to chat with.


((Lazy~))

" no actually I was only made an apprentice about a moon ago but I went through a growth spurt" softpaw said, blushing ( seriously, I just posted a lot but softpaw hasn't even gone through her first full hunting lesson) after she said this a ginger cat padded up to the group, the cat apologized for being late " hi I'm softpaw" softpaw said " what's your name?"

[Rainbreeze]

The she-cat made her way through the crowd. She wasn't used to so many cats in one spot, She didn't like it either, But she was at the gathering for the first time. It was an awesome feeling. Noticing a tom from her own clan, she padded over quickly and said "Boo!" In attempt to scare the tom. She didn't think he heard her, but if he didn't, it would be a funny reaction.

[Fadingnight]

Fadingnight made her way through the crowd of cats and found a spot alone in the corner of the clearing. It would have been a mousebrain decision to position herself in the middle. So she sat down, observing the cats huddled with each other and staying away from cats of other clans, besides the medicine cats since they were the only ones technically aloud to have strong ties in other clans. They didn't take part in battles or skirmishes. Their lives seemed all to be pretty easily until it came to dealing with sick cats, Fadingnight would never be able to do such a thing. Sickness was something she couldn't handle.

Sighing she tried to find someone she knew, although at the moment she could only pick out her kin Duststorm's pelt... and she didn't feel like wasting any energy by getting up. So in the end she decided to spend her first gathering as a warrior alone. 

[Deleted]

Dawnbriar padded in a little late. She stared around at all the cats. "Wow, so many caI wonder if I could talk to someone.." She soon spotted another female alone, she padded over to her.
"Hey, I'm dawnbriar, want to talk?"

[Speckheart]

"G-glad you could make it!" Speckpaw addressed Firepaw. He then turned to Softpaw. "Too bad I-I-I haven't gotten my growth spurt yet. I-I-I'm still pretty sm-small."
