Third Gathering

[Fernear!]

Fernstar entered the island with grace. Her tail held high in anticipation. Her eyes were wide with horror. The lake had eaten half of the edge. Hopefully it wouldn't matter, the lake was quite high at the moment. But it should subside. Fernstar nodded to her clan as she waited for the other clans.

The small tortisheel she-cat fallowed after her leader. Her long white whiskers twitched with excitement about the start of a new gathering. Her eyes widened when she saw hight of the water but soon returned to normal. She sat beside Fernstar to wait for the rest of the clans

Mudstorm's heart lurched, someone close to her was suffering, mentally and physically. She turned to Spottednose and asked urgently, "A-are you Ok?" She felt that hole start to open up, Oh no.. If Spottednose isn't suffering or anyone else in the clan then.. It's him, he's the one that's suffering.. No.. Mudstorm thought. The moonlight shinning on her pelt making it look like metalic copper and her stripes looked midnight black, her green eyes sparkled As she thought of the black striped and spotted, silver tom.

Blackstar rushed into the Clearing, crossing over the bridge was a sinch. He came in looking like a raging badger with wild eyes. If you knew Blackstar, like everyone did, you would get out of his way, or you might end up crowfood. He raced through the cats and jumped up onto a branch and hid himself in the shadows of the leaves.

Stripefur came into the camp a little behind Fernstar and behind Blackstar. He didnt want to get in the way of the huge and evil Leader. He went over and sat down by Spottednose and Mudstorm. He smiled and then looked at the worried face of Mudstorm. "Mudstorm, is everything alright?" He asked worriedly. He knew the she-cat too well to by-pass the fact that something was bothering her. If she didnt want to tell him, he could understand why, and he would leave her. But, if there was a chance that she did, then he was all ears.

Spottednose smiled as Stripefur took a seat beside her. She didn't know the tom to well so she did not attempt to start a conversation. Instead she smiled sweetly and started to clean one of her front paws.



Stormfrost padded in behind Blackstar. He did not attempt to fallow his leader instead she looked around the clearing at all the other gathering cats. So far only Thunderclan and Shadowclan had arrived so he looked around for some one he could talk to for the time being.

Stripefur didnt care if he knew the she-cat or not, he liked her smile. "So Spottednose, when do you think Windclan and Riverclan are comming? Or, do you think Riverclan arent comming at all like last time?" He asked. He wanted to start a conversation with her, since Mudstorm wasnt really talking, but in her own little world.

Mudstorm looked at Stripefur, embarased for looking like she wasn't listening replied, "Ya, ya I'm fine. I just feel... I don't know... Uh.. um.. w-well.. Oh nevermind!" she sat rigid and furious, I can't even speak! Mudstorm started over. "Well Stripefur, I feel like someone close to me is hurt. Not like they were attacked by a fox or anything but emotionally, and mentally" She was puzzled, if he was close to her then how was he close? "But nevermind," she said quickly smiling deeply even though it didn't reach her eyes, "I think that Riverclan will come, they can't really miss two or three gatherings! That's just plain nonsence! They probably have chosen a cat to lead them to the gathering."

[spottednose]

Spottednose nodded her head, agreeing with her friend. "Thats true, they better be here soon," She purred, her hazel eyes glistened in the moonlight with excitement about being at the gathering. She didn't know why but she was a bit interested in the striped tom sitting next to her. Sh couldn't help but wonder what Stripefur's story was. Perhaps she would find out somemore later from other cats or from him himself if they became friends.

[Fernear!]

Fernstar nodded to Blackstar, Hopefuly Ashstar will arrive.. or maybe something happened to her while she was recieving her nine lives Fernstar suggested. [Sorry I have no time to post x.x]
