{{I'll try mirroring my posts with yours, Lily, just so you don't have too much to respond to.}}

Heatherwater smiled, a somewhat genuine yet vague smile that glimmered with amusement. "Of course you can Rainpaw." She said lightly, her whiskers twitching, but her voice had a ring of sincerity to it that sounded familiar to her, like her normal voice, not her cold, icy voice that she was beginning to feel accustomed to use when she was around Jaggedtooth, to be a remnant of her past self. She was using her regular, quiet yet honest voice, and it comforted her, reminded her why she was doing all these horrid things against the clans.

Wildpaw of Sunset:

Wildpaw settled in the middle of the clearing, her eyes as wide as saucer's. She couldn't believe that she was surrounded by so many cats from the different Clans. This is so excited! Her mind raced in so many thoughts as she began to put faces to names that she had heard as a kit at her mother's belly. Wildpaw's head looked around, realizing that she had ended up being alone and away from her Clan mates, Where did everyone go? I swear they were weren't beside me. Slowly the pretty tabby got up and began to wander.

Rowanberry of MidnightClan

A short muscular figure slipped through the shadows of big bushes and low hanging branches that alarmist sweep the ground. The beautiful multi brown colored she-cat padded into the view of the other cats. The gathering. She wasn't too fond of going to these things, but apparently, at the last one, one of her clanmates made a big commotion. She wanted to see if something like that might happen again. So, there she was, padding her way down the slope, glancing around at the other cats. She didn't see anyone from her clan except for Dewdapple. Rowanberry stayed in the back of the crowd, not wanting to mingle, only to observe.

((Gosh, too lazy to reply to this.))

Thrushfall led his clan to the Pond of Truce. This was the second gathering he attend as Ratstar's place, and he wondered what other clans would think about it, especially Leaflan.

He leaped on the rock and sat down beside Silverstar, without saying a word. He had too many thoughts in his mind. About the clues they found, and Starclan's silent reply to the medicine cats. Part of him knew that Ratstar was alive, but where really was she? The uncertainty only brought fear to Sunsetclan.

Thrushfall just sat there quietly.

[Deleted]

"Well that's good." Said Leopardstep to Softheart. His eyes quickly glanced up and down her body. She was quite beautiful to him. The tom jerked his head away, and watched as Thrushfall sat next to his leader. His ears flicked. "I wonder where Ratstar is," he said out loud.

(( My muse is terribly dry ))

[Deleted]

Rainpaw of Stormclan

"Should I tell Lilykit I'm her brother?" He mewed. His tail twitching.

Echowhisker of Whisperclan

"That's a cool name." She commented to Leopardstep, ignoring Softheart. "Your from LeafClan right?" She asked.

Sandpaw of Sunsetclan

Leopardstep, Birchflame didn't say to watch out for him, so she looked around for Cloudpaw and keeping an eye on Softheart.

[Deleted]

Softheart of Sunset

Softheart was glad he didn't ask any more questions, she wasn't in the mood much to answer to many questions. She looked straight ahead but she could feel the tom look her up and down. This feeling made her feel uncomfortable and a little shy. but she didn't say anything, she just slightly sifted on her paws.
She heard the question that she was almost sure every cat from Sunsetclan didn't wanna hear.
Where's Ratstar
She acted as if she didn't hear the question, but she was wondering the exact same thing.

[Deleted]

The spotted tom nodded. His eyes not leaving Thrushfall. "Yes, I'm a LeafClan cat." He said to Echowhisper. His sleek body rippled unintentionally at the idea of a missing leader. He turned his gaze to Softheart, "Why is Thrushfall here in Ratstar's place?"

[Deleted]

Echowhisker of Whisperclan

"How is Silverstar?" She asked, signaling to Leopardstep. "Yes, where is Ratstar?" She repeated the question, noticing Softheart for the first time. She flicked her tail.

((OOC: I just love this guy. He's such a good party crasher. >:3))


~WhisperClan~

"I heard she's ill," interrupted a loud, confident voice. A tall white WhisperClan apprentice padded up next to Softheart, but didn't even glance her way. "She's supposed to be getting better every day, but apparently, she's not quite strong enough to attend the Gathering."

Icy blue eyes flashed to the side and snatched a glance at the SunsetClan she-cat beside him as the tall white apprentice sat down, grooming one paw leisurely. He hadn't wanted to come tonight, of course, but Moonpetal had insisted that he did nonetheless, demanding he apologized to Sandstrike and Otterfrost and Birchflame and Rainpaw. but she wasn't here to babysit him now, was she? She would never know that he planned to say nary a kind word to any of them.

Cloudpaw smirked.


~MidnightClan~

Emberfrost curled her tail over her paws, flicking her ears in dismissal of a tall stranger she-cat slithering up beside her. The icy white she-cat scanned the clearing and tilted her head when she spotted Hawkfrost watching her. She gave him a charming smile, and he quickly looked away.

Hmph. Mouse-brain. If he has the nerve to stare at me he should be prepared to at least-

Blood.

It was the scent of her own blood. Shocked into freezing up, she heard a whisper in her ear and sensed a presence beside her that sent chills racing up her spine.

"I know you killed her."

And then the presence next to her was gone, and with it the searing pain. Emberfrost simply sat for a moment, unable to move or make a sound. What part of her was bleeding? Who had that been? Had anyone seen that? Snapping back to her senses, her head whipped around and stared at the middle section of her tail, now tinted red and getting rapidly darker. Emberfrost immediately pulled it around and covered it with her paws, glancing around her. but there were so many cats here. She couldn't see who'd been her attacker. The tall she-cat was gone that slithered up beside her had disappeared. Forcing a stoic expression to return to her face, she began to lick casually at her tail to cleanse it of the blood.

No one could have seen that, no one, because if someone had, there would be questions, and she would be forced to speak of her sister, and that would cause so much trouble just by mention of her name. Well, she intended to make sure that that never happened no matter what.

Emberfrost began to groom her tail... a little more hurriedly, shall we say.

Sandpaw of Sunsetclan

Cloudpaw!

Sandpaw slithered over to him and purred, "but it seems your healthy enough to attend. My mentor told me about you. Strong, smart, handsome." Her eyes gleamed with warmth as she looked at him.

Ugh... This is horrible!

Rainpaw of Stormclan

Rainpaw looked over to Cloudpaw and Sandpaw, hoping that Cloudpaw didn't spot him, and ask him about Lilykit. He was tired of them being together, and disproved it with all his heart.

Heatherwater's eyes widened with slight shock, but it didn't surprise her. It was obvious the fondness that Rainpaw had for Lilykit, but her and many others just assumed that he had a crush on her. However, she could see how they could be siblings. There was a sort of protectiveness that Rainpaw had for her that signified their close bond.

She mulled over this thoughtfully, remembering how lonely the poor sickly kit was. Sure, she was kind and sweet and had no trouble gaining friends, but families were different. She winced visibly for a second, an image of first her sister, then her father dying, both at her own claws, one unintentional, the other one done with purpose. "I think..." She paused, lowering her voice. "I think you should. It gets awfully lonely. Poor kit like her, all alone with no family, it's not right." She pushed down the bitter bile rising in her throat. "She might need family soon." She repeated, a warning tone creeping into her voice.

-WhisperClan-

He glanced sideways at Sandpaw, and was instantly interested. He opened his mouth to reply, a flirty smile on his handsome face, but its almost-uttered words died as the scent of her clan drifted into it. His shining eyes were suddenly tinted with suspicion.

"...Who's your mentor?"


-LeafClan-

Nightpaw took one step into the clearing, and instantly, with just one glance at the cats that caught his eye, his mind was flooded with snapshots.

Dewdapple, a kind-hearted MidnightClan she-cat with an often negative attitude and a fierce passion for life. She's rather ordinary, but she's a strong warrior with a sharp temper. I should watch what I say around her.

Rainpaw, an outgoing, loyal StormClan tom with plenty of friends and quite a large size for his age. He's very close friends with Lilykit of StormClan, but I don't know that much more about him. I should try to find out more.

Echowhisker, a calm, intelligent WhisperClan queen with a casual demeanor and honorable patience. I know nothing about her past. I should look into her.

Wildpaw, an outgoing, loud SunsetClan she-cat with incredible loyalty and strength of will. Like her name states, she's quite the adventurer, but she doesn't think enough about doing something before she carries out an action. She's a fool. I don't need to speak to her at all; it will only bring me trouble.

Leopardstep... I know nothing of him. I must look into this immediately.

Heatherwater, a peaceful, seemingly dismissing StormClan she-cat with incurable boredom and a disinterest for practically everything. I don't know anything about her past, but she seems so bored, she can't possibly have any interesting, juicy secrets, can she? Hmm... but perhaps, perhaps there's more to her than meets the eye...

I should know that full well...

Sandpaw, a kind she-cat known for her understanding but bossy nature. She doesn't seem like anything special, I shouldn't waste my mind power on someone as ordinary as her.

Cloudpaw, a proud, bossy WhisperClan tom. He's always so guarded, I don't know much about his inner personality, but he's Fangstar's son; I must speak to him as soon and as carefully as possible.

That white-furred MidnightClan she-cat... I don't know anything about her. I need to ask around for information on her immediately.

Looking around, just taking in the sights and sounds and scents and everything was dizzying; his first Gathering and his mind was ready to explode in a mass of blue flames. Naturally, every time his gaze landed on a new cat, he dug into his memory for information about them. It shook him to realize just how many cats he knew nothing about at all. Swallowing his sudden sense of discomfort, the handsome young apprentice's gaze locked onto his first target: Leopardstep. He must know more about him immediately.

"Excuse me," Nightpaw said, padding up to him. His paws shifted nervously on the ground, and big, brilliant emerald eyes stared up at him. "I'm a little lost. This is my first Gathering, and... I'm not really sure what to do." The tall black apprentice glanced up at the leaders curiously.


((OOC: [@blackheart]
Ya'll better be happy I spent an hour writing this. D:< I included every cat in this thread in his snapshots. That's quite a lot of looking up apps and determining personalities and family connections and shizzle.
Heheheh... I love this little blood-sucker...))

[Deleted]

Leopardstep turned to Nightpaw. His glowing eyes examined the young cat. The spotted tom smiled and flicked his tail. "You can sit where ever you like but most like to sit with their clan." He motioned at the leaders. "When all leaders are present, or when the present leaders see fit, they will start the gathering." His yellow eyes darted back to Nightpaw. "You can sit here by me if you'd like." Said Leopardstep with a friendly tone.

[Deleted]

"My mentor is Willowfoot." Sandpaw replied, showing no signs of lying, "She's says your the nost adorable thing ever! She was right!" She giggled, looking at Cloudpaw with caring eyes. "Hey Cloudpaw, do you like anycat?" She asked, her eyes changed to curious.
