First Gathering Beneath The Moon

[Breezy]

Hawkstar leapt upon the large rock the rested near his den, looking about a bit before he called out to the cats in camp. His voice loud and thunderous. It might even remind someone of a lion if you fantasized a bit.

"All cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath the Highrock for a clan meeting."

He waited till ever cat hand drawn closer or settled in before he continued. He growled softly at the kits that seem to want to play more than listen to their mothers. Once they stopped playing and everything was silent he spoke again.

"We will head to the Fourtrees, everyone will be on there best behavior as this is the first gathering. Do not make enemies at the first gathering that the last thing I want. Since there are so few of us I'll only take a few. Skeletalstripe, Iceshard, Darkstep, Eaglewing, Lionroar, Moonshadow, Fallingfeather, Graypaw, Brightpaw, Whitepaw,Nettlepaw, and Flowerpetal with come with me. While we are away Goldensun you will be in charge. Take good care of my clan."

With those words he hoped off the large rock gathering up the cats and reassuring the other apprentices they would go to the next gathering he took his leave. He led his clan proudly marching the way and leaping from branch to branch as he wanted to be in a position to see all his followers from his clan. He looked down at them with a sigh. He couldn't fail this clan, he could not let them down like he did his leader.

He jumped a bit at the sound of Brightpaw and Whitepaw brickerimg below him loudly. He merely smiled softly he remembered when him and Fallenpaw had friendly bickering like that but that was the past now. He moved on hoping from tree to tree much like a squrriel before he spotted the Fourtrees. He jumped down from a lower branch to lead his clan in trying to look professional at least but they still had a bit of the way so he relaxed somewhat.

In no time he reach the Fourtrees to find he was the first clan there. It didn't surprise him he had left extra early as his fur as on end with nervousness. He waited at the base of the tree as he wanted to let another leader climb it first. Looking out at his clan as they mingled with each other he looked up at the moon with a sigh, was he ready to take on this almighty position?

"All cats old enough to swim gathering in the clearing for a clan meeting," Duskstar yowled. "Tonight is the night of the gathering and I'm going to name the cats coming to the gathering, Hollowwisp, Crowflight, Crossbow, Amberstone, Sandfur, Silverstream, Mudstep, and of course Creekpaw will be going, and Whisperingwinds and Snowfall will guard the camp she yowled


"Okay," Snowfall meowed

[tbugbrown]

MUDSTEP

Mudstep padded lazily out from his den, yawning. He wandered over and found a seat beneath Duskstar. He nodded and grinned as he heard he would be in attendance tonight. "Hm, very well," he muttered to no one in particular.

[sharptooth]

Ratstar leaped onto the high rock (idk what they have). "All cats old enough the catch there own prey gather befor the high-rock for a clan meeting. he yelled so that all could hear. He waited for his clan to gather then he grinned slightly. "Tonight is our first gathering and we will be doing our best to show our pride." He growled to his clan mates.

"Since our clan is low i am only taking a small bundle of cats with me, the few i am taking consists of Luckystrike, Haresprint, Hallowpaw, Spottedblade, Skullpaw, and Brooksplash." he said hoping no one else would be mad at him for picking these cats. "While we are at the gathering Russetclaw will be left in charge." he said as he leaped down from the high rock.

He ran his way down to Fourtrees he stopped as he smelled that Thunderclan had arrived.grinning he lead his clan into the bed where the great rock stood. He remembered his first time here and how things went. So he leaped upon the might rock and looked down on the other cats around him. Feeling uneasy a bit as it was his first time on the mighty boulder.

[cvgirls]

Sandfur smiled as she found a spot to sit. Perking her ears up sh heard her clearly and got a bit of amusement out of hearing her name. She smiled and nodded her head as she stood up waiting for her time to head for the entrance and leave the clan for a little while.

[sundirra]

Hollowwisp stood up from where she sat, and started to walk towards the fresh kill pile. She stopped halway though, and nodded towards Duskstar. It was her first gathering as Deputy, and she wanted to be full of energy so she could show her pride for her clan.

[sharptooth]

Skeletalstripe knew he was going to the gathering as it was there first and he was the deputy. He began to groom down his angled pelt as the scent of Windclan cats twisted into his nostrils.

[jig]

.Moonstar.

This night he had been waiting for has arrived, the night of his first gathering as the Shadow Clan leader. His first raid on Wind Clan was a failure, the stupid badger ruined it. However the badger would of weakened the clan.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather around the high rock for a clan meeting." He yowled, then waited petentily for the cats to gather. "Tonight is a very special night for Shadow Clan. We will show then that even after Shadestar's ... accident, we have not been fazed. Tonight, I will bring Lionclaw, Frostbite and Hickorybreeze. That is all."

With a excited swish of his gray tail, Moonstar jumped off the highrock and patiently waited for the cats he called to follow.

[vines]

Haresprint;;

Windclan's medicine cat grunted in aknowledgement, slipping through the gorse tunnel with the rest of the cats. It was a night like no other, with the full moon riding high in silverpelt. A perfect night for showcasing his new apprentice, it was."Hallowpaw!" the tom had finally spotted the fluffy white pelt of his apprentice amidst the team of cats. Catching up with her, he flicked his spotted tail. "It's...It's your first gathering as an apprentice."
In truth, Haresprint still had mixed feelings about this cat, but he wanted to strike up a conversation. She cared nothing for herbs, and she was so loud, and--He shook his head. All four clans would know about it tonight, so he was stuck with her. Right? With another flick of the tail, he dissmissed it. They were already there.
All around them, cats were bustling and making such a noise that you would've thought it a battle, instead of a time of peace. Apprentices and warriors alike flitted between cats of other clans. There was so much to take in, yet it left a bitter longing in Haresprint's chest cavity--that is, his heart. After all, those first few gatherings had been with his own mentor. It would be a long night.

Ambernose

A mottled brown she-cat followed the Riverclan gathering patrol, her head held high and proud. This was Ambernose, and it was her second gathering as a full Warrior of Riverclan; but she thought-stratch that--knew she was the most important cat there...or at least the prettiest. With a toss of her head, she loped across the log that led to the island and into the sea of cats.

[- Leafy -]

Hallowpaw paused when she suddenly heard her name, her ears pricking forward and a delighted smile appearing at her maw at the sight of her mentor. She offered a purr when she heard his words and nodded in agreement, neatly trotting along side the medicine cat with shifting eyes. "I know! I'm excited- What're the other clans like, Haresprint?" She asked curiously, questions flooding through her mind as she shifted her blue eyes to look up at her mentor. She paused when the clan gathered into fourtrees and suddenly shrunk in size at being surrounded by so many other cats. "Wow." She whispered quietly, suddenly wanting to be as close to Haresprint as possible in case she got lost in the cluster of cats. She blinked, staying close to the toms side and glancing around in awe.

[dusk]

Duskstar led her clan to the gathering and bounced across the clearing and up onto the great rock looking down at her clan mates as they began to make there way around the clearing. She looked at the moon, and was glad that there was no cloud in sight, that was a good sign. Deciding to be friendly she turned towards Hawkstar, "Hello, Hawkstar how is thunderclan?" Duskstar asked trying to sound cheerful, but instead it came out coolly. She hoped he wasn't offended by her tone, but she still wasn't use to socializing with others, but she supposed that not being a leader for long was a good excuse for her socializing skills. While she waited for the other leaders answer she gazed around the clearing.

Ooc: sorry for the late reply

[sundirra]

Hollowwisp sat under the great rock, where all the deputies sat, and looked around. Her fur smooth and clean, and her belly full, Hollowwisp was in a great mood. Especially since the sky was clear, signalling Starclan was happy. The deputy couldn't wait to here the other clans news, and see how every cat was fairing.

(OOC: GAH. My muse is so low...)

[jig]

Moonstar led his clan to the meeting, all passing the Thunder Path safely. Moonstar took a seat at the great rock, where all the other leaders sat. Some may be confused that it was not Shadestar in his place and Moonstar by the deputies, but they will learn when the gathering would start. While the other leaders chatted Moonstar quickly groomed himself, he would want to look acceptable as his first time at the gathering as a leader anyways.

ooc// My muse too. e-e

[Breezy]

Hawkstar turned to find the Riverclan leader speaking to him. He grunted at her words his tail lashing about before answered. He didn't mean to look aggressive but he wasn't exactly good at being friendly so he sat trying to look less intimidating than he already had.

"Hello Duskstar..."

OOC: My muse sucks -.-"

[dusk]

Duskstar flicked her tail falling into her usual silence, she didn't talk much, and she was over being friendly. She wasn't cold exactly, but she wasn't very social able either, she couldn't really relate well with anyone. She gazed down at the gathering cats, flicking her tail when Moonstar joined them, but didn't turn to great him. She had tried being friendly, but had failed, her voice had still came out sounding cool and stiff. She let her gaze sweep the gathering glad to see her deputy sit in the place the other deputies sat and she continued to watch the rest of her clan mates settle around the clearing.

Haresprint;;
The medicine cat took his place amongst the others, beckoning Hallowpaw. It was only natural for her to be excited by this. For a moment, he took pity on the young cat, because she couldn't go with the other apprentices as they gadded about merrily. And it wasn't her choice. "The gathering will be starting soo. Do smooth down your pelt! You look like a cloud!" he prompted, letting an amused purr escape him as he gazed out at the other cats.
He winced when he saw how tense the leaders were. This was a gathering, for Starclan's sake! What were they thinking? There was a thought, for a mere, fleeting second, that perhaps this gathering wouldn't be as peaceful as he had thought.

Ambernose;;

Ambernose took her seat amongst the other cats, frowning. Had they not been so late, she could have done a bit more visiting. The Thunderclan apprentices were dolls, anyway, and she would have liked to meet them. Her fickle mind was on anything but clan matters.

[Breezy]

Luckystrike turned to Hallowwisp taking in her unique beauty. He arched and eye brow before he summoned a half friendly smile. The gruff lion looking warrior was going to do his best to seem friendly.

"Hello Hallowwisp, how is Riverclan?"

[- Leafy -]

HALLOWPAW -

Hallowpaw immediately followed after Haresprint, all but holding onto the end of his tail as she glanced around, her small white body in contrast with most of the cats at the gathering. If she got lost it would probably be easy to find her, after all- All you had to listen for was her high-pitched little voice screeching at some cat to talk a bit louder. "So? What's wrong with looking like a cloud? Clouds are pretty." She suddenly purred, not getting the fact that this was a gathering and you had to look presentable for it. She was six moons old and Haresprint was scolding her as if she were sixty moons old. She sighed, sitting beside Haresprint and beginning to carefully smooth down her fluffy white fur in thought as her bushy tail nervously lashed against the ground. She paused and looked over to Haresprint suddenly growing a little bored with just sitting with the other medicine cats. She tipped her head softly and watched as her mentors tail lashed back and forth, her pupils suddenly growing incredibly large as she got into a pouncing position, immediately beginning to bat and paw at the white and black toms tail.

.Spottedblade.

The black and white tom was excited, he had not been to a gathering in awhile. He enjoyed going to meet new cats and check up on the latest news from the other clans. He sat in the middle as he scanned the area for someone to talk too.

.Silverstream

Silverstream was happy she had gone to the gathering, she could stay all night and all day if she wanted too. She hoped maybe she would be able to spend time with her new friend Hawkstar of Thunder Clan, but she doubted it. Most of the time the leaders sat on the highrock, explained what was happening, then the clans left. It was disappointing to her really.

ooc// Totally didn't forget Spottedblade and Silverstream were going or anything -coughcough-

[Breezy]

Hawkstar's expression changed for a moment when his eyes fell upon the silver tabby named Silverstream. He watched her for a moment wishing he was a warrior so he could speak with her. Their first river encounter burned in his head as if it only happened moments ago. He opened his mouth to mew to her but thought better of it. Better not show too much friendliness at the gathering. Cats could get the wrong idea. Or was it the right idea he wasn't certain making him turn his back questioning himself.

Had he thought more of the Riverclan warrior than he thought? That would be embarrassing, Thunderclan leader in love with a Riverclan warrior. But did that matter when she caught his attention more than she-cats in his own clan could? Something bout the silver tabby enchanted him completely.
