June 2014 Gathering - Leafbare

[Ambrose]

Duskflame padded into the clearing of the Pond of Truce. Her muscles rippled under her sleek tortoiseshell pelt. She sat down with the other medicine cats, noticing a new face. (Lemonade )
"What's your name?" she asked smiling. She looked up, and saw Deadthroat on the rock. She had to hold her paw up to her mouth to stop herself from laughing.

[Deleted]

A black and white warrior padded into the pond, a little later than the rest of Leafclan. His bright eyes flicked around, searching for something. Someone, rather. Moonstorm had spoken to a Stormclan warrior named Frogleap and heard his dying words. Words that Moonstorm felt forced to abide. He couldn't ignore them.. He had to find a cat by the name of Wildpaw. She was an apprentice whom Frogleap had been meeting here.. Alone. Despite the fact that it was breaking the warrior code, Moonstorm still felt like it was something he needed to do. His eyes continued to search until he came upon a group of apprentices. Many of them from various Clans.. Big ones, small ones, tall ones.. but none of them fitting the perfect description that Frogleap had so vividly explained to him.

Until, another cat caught his eye. One sitting a bit away from the others. Definitely a she-cat.. but was it her? Was it the Wildpaw that Frogleap had spoke about so happily? Even in his dying words, he seemed to become full with life once he mentioned her. Moonstorm shrugged to himself and decided to try it. What's the worst that could happen. The big warrior padded up to the apprentice and stood above her, staring down. His ears flicked nervously as he stared at her awkwardly. "Are you Wildpaw?" he choked out, his voice clouded with nervousness. "I have a message for you"

[Icestorm]

Leafclan:
Icestorm looked around the group of cats that had gathered. There was a tension between the cats that made her uneasy. As she looked up to the leaders she noticed a new cat, who was that? Where was Pebblestar? She nervously looked around to see if there was anyone she knew. She quickly noticed Loudheart off to the side with another cat, he didn't seem happy about something. She took a step over to him, smiling hoping to help lighten his attitude.

Poppypaw walked with her clan with a pride. She had grown to realize that the others didn't like her clan, but it was still her clan. This was her first gathering without her uncle, he chose to stay behind and watch over his kits, even though they weren't small anymore he was still very protective of them. Maybe she could see Blackpaw again...

[Deleted]

Deadthroat dipped his head and looked at his paws like a kit being scorned at by his mother. He wanted to say sorry, he wasn't familiar with their ways yet. He lifted his head and stared at Beetleshine with his sapphire eyes. He tried to let her know with his droopy ears and sorrowful look that he meant no harm in the mistake, his jaws parted a little, but as always, he closed them and shuffled his paws. There was so much he wanted to say. This was his first and only friend, and he had made her mad.

The tom stood, looked at each of the leaders on the special rock apologetically, then leaped down onto the forest floor with the rest of the cats. He walked into the middle of the gathering and sat down. Deadthroat gazed up at Beetleshine, but dared not make eye contact with her. He knew he had embarrassed her. The white tom licked his paw and dragged it over his head a few times, then relaxed a bit. He was curious as to see what was going to happen next.

[Ambrose]

Shademinnow padded into the clearing, her belly heavy with kits. She was walking beside Blackcloud, their pelts brushing. Suddenly, she saw Poppypaw. She grimaced and turned away, hoping Blackcloud would as well

[Deleted]

Loudheart felt Icestorm approach him, he was glad that the she-cat was there and moved closer to her.. The dark tabby hoped that having another Leafclanner would help to discourage the Midnightclan warrior from making any more rude remarks, but it only seemed to egg the arrogant tom on.
"Oh I see, you can't handle me yourself so you have to bring a she-cat over to protect you. I knew it, all Leafclanners are cowards!" The ginger tabby snorted at Loudheart then looked at the silver she-cat, challenge gleamed in his eyes.
Loudheart wasn't sure what to do, he didn't think being a she-cat or tom made any difference. How mouse brained is he? He wasn't about to start any fights, but didn't think that this tom should be able to get away with being so rude either.

[Lightningtrail]

Goldenstar sighed as she gazed at the rock above her. She really did not want to go up, but she had no choice. Her fear was limiting her because she could not help but feel intimidated by the strong and powerful cats sitting there, one being half blind and ruthless. Goldenstar bunched up her strong legs and leapt onto the rock. Her golden fur was freshly groomed, and it shimmered in the moon light. She looked to the other leaders, somewhat surprised that Pebblestar was not there. "Greetings," she mewed,"How are your clans fairing this leafbare?" She asked.

[Icestorm]

Icestorm looked at the tom, she now knew why Loudheart looked unhappy with him. She could feel her anger grow towards the stranger. "I came over to see him, not for his sake, but for my own," she tried to keep her anger from boiling over, this was a gathering and she didn't want to break the peace. "And this she-cat doesn't need a tom to take on a cat that needs to bark like a dog." Her tail twitched with frustration. This was a disgrace to Leafclan cats.

[Frost]

OOC:// I feel like Blackpaw/cloud is going to start a chick fight between Poppypaw anfd Shademinnow.

A young black and white warrior walked alongthe rest of his clan, standing by the side of Shademinnow. As Blackcloud padded on his mary way, he found his golden gaze searching for a certain Leafclan she cat. Then he found her, walking in the general direction of Shademinmow and him. "Shademinnow...remember she is just a friend, " Blackcloud meowed.

[Ambrose]

Shademinnow snarled but wouldn't jump at Poppypaw. That was against the warrior code. but she hated that shecat. She pressed to Blackcloud, actually trying to convey her weight so that they were far away — but not quite far away for Shademinnow to attack her, if necessary.

[Icestorm]

Poppypaw made her way to Blackpaw ignoring the clinging she-cat at his side. "Hi guys," she said with a smile. She could see the heavy belly the she-cat carried. Poppypaw tried to keep her annoyance to herself, she didn't want to start anything. "How have things been Blackpaw?" She hadn't been to a gathering in while and genuinely wanted to know.

[Frost]

Blackcloud nodded to Poppypaw as she padded over to Shademinnow and himself. "Hello Poppypaw," the night colored tom greeted. The young warrior quickly sat down with Shademinnow, fur mixed together. "Blackcloud now. And I'm great, my mate, Shademinnow and I are going to have kits," Blackcloud purred, his golden gaze bright with pride and joy. "So how are you Poppypaw? And I hear Thornfur I think it was, had kits with some cat. How is he?" The young warrior questioned the black she cat.

[Deleted]

*MidnightClan*

A brown tabby by the name of Barkflame walked in to the area where the pond was for the first time as a warrior and couldn't help but look around to see if there was anyone he might know from when he was just Barkpaw. The toms forest green eyes scaned the area and was starting to lose hope of seeing anyone. Soon Barkflame started to look around for a Clan mate to stick around with during this gathering and soon saw that four of the Clan Leader's were here. He sat down alone for the moment to think of things like what would happen in this gathering and wondered if Bramblestar was going to say anything about himself, his friends and his sister's becoming warriors just recently.

[Icestorm]

Poppypaw looked at Blackpaw, no Blackcloud now with excitement, "Congrats on becoming a warrior," she then looked to Shademinnow, "and congrats on the kits of course." The tip of her tail twitched with some resentment. She knew better to feel this way, but she couldn't stop herself. The mention of her uncle brought her back, "Yes he did, and he is protective as ever with his new family. He'll be a great father if he raises them like he raised me."

[Frost]

Blackcloud nodded. " Thanks Poppypaw," the dark tom meowed. " Yeah we are very happy about that, we plan to have up to 8 kittens." he purred and licked the deep grey she cat next to him in the ear. Blackcloud nodded to the black she cat and said," So how are you, you Leafclan apprentice? That's right, I have more attorney then you, " the tom joked playfully.
