Gathering

[Stormstar]

[glow=blue,4,000]Flicking his tail again, Stormstar nodded to Brownstar to go first, his blue eyes glowing. Windchaser, the Clan Deputy, did not know where most of ShadowClan were. The only reason for this was that something bad had happened to their Clan that she wished not to share, and he did not want to press her.[/glow]

[Willowtail]

Stepping sedately into the clearing, Willowtail ignored the cats that stared questioningly at the late ShadowClan Patrol. Instead, she spotted a familiar cat and headed towards the dark tabby. She recognised Tigerpaw, for she had brought him to ShadowClan after discovering his Mother from long ago. "Tigerpaw," Willowtail called, her eyes narrowed as she studied the dark tabby tom. "I hope you are doing well."

[tigerstrike]

[glow=red,2,300]The dark colored tom began to feel nervous. His hairs began to prick up, knowing someone would reconize him, but it had to be the ShadowClan medicine cat.

Shaking his head, he turned around nervously to see the medicine cat looking down at him, reconizing him as Tigerpaw, apprentice of ShadowClan, instead of RiverClan, the almost medicine cat of RiverClan. Pheasantpaw turned around, tring to ignore the fact of piercing eyes staring right through him and Willowtal, the one who saved him and his siblings' life. "Um..." he hesitated, "Hello miss. I think you have mistaken me for another cat, I'm Pheasantpaw." Keeping his eyes focused on Willowtail, so only she could see the look in his eyes to play along.

Thinking h handeled the situation queit well, he turned his attantion back to Puddleclaw, the WindClan warrior waiting for her reaction.[/glow]

[~B*l*a*z*e~]

//You're apart of it//

Sprinklestorm thought about jumping up to calm her leader, but she knew she would get in trouble. Thankul for ShadowClan's final, last minute appearance, she strected her body out and layed down waitn for the gathering to begin.

[Willowtail]

Restraining a snort, Willowtail fought the urge to hiss at the Apprentice, and, annoyed by his unwillingness to cooperate, reveal he was once a cat of ShadowClan. "Excuse me, Pheasantpaw," The silver-grey tabby said curtly, showing Tigerpaw that she was not fooled. Walking past him, she hissed in his ear, "We shall talk about this later, Tigerpaw." Padding over to Sprinklestorm, a Warrior she had seen before, Willowtail nodded a greeting to her before settling herself close to the Great Rock.

[~B*l*a*z*e~]

The silver warrior saw the shadowClan medicine cat's anger. You could ense the tension miles away. Nodding back to her, she mewed "What was hat about...?" Seeing the unwanting in her eyes, Sprinklesorm decided she didn't want to back down into a conversation.

[spottedleaf]

Silvershadow smiled big as the Shadowclan cats appeared behind Windchaser. He quickly spotted Willowtail and jumped up padding swiftly over to her. He licked the she-cat's ear in greeting and nodded to her friend. "Hello! How are..... you?" he asked carefully picking words. He hoped she would get the secret message in the simple question.

[w i n d y o <3]

Windchaser looked again at Stormstar. "When do we start?" she asked glumily. Sadness showed i her eyes as she thought of Moonstar's sickness and how it was affectin her Clan.

[||Silverstar||]

OOC- Windchaser you will go in for MoonStar. The order seems to be: ThunderClan, Then I, WindClan, ShadowClan, RiverClan, is that quiet alright?

"When Brownstar speaks." said Silverstar to Windchaser. Silverstar looked better from last time at the gathering, when sha found out that some of her warrior were not even born from WindClan, but from RiverClan. She had nearly forgotten about that as her mind was on what she was going to say. Rogues. Rogues were everywere across the ThunderClan board. Just last quarter moon, she spotted an attack group of rogues wondering hin her territory. She was by herself, snuck out of the Leader's Den unnoticed, She would have gave anything to see how WingClaw might have looked when he descovered that Silverstar was not there. As she watched the rogues steal some of WindClans play, she hurred and icy cold voice yelling to the rogues. What She hurred startled her slightly. "You, Councilors, come back here and deside on these codes. We must have a stabble sosicety before the Great Journey is to begin." Silverstar didn't know anything about these Great Journey, but she now one thing, the rogues were making a goverment, it wouldn't be long till an all out war started.

[Willowtail]

Her eyes sparkled as she aknowledged Silvershadow's alternative meaning to his query. Running her tongue over his ear, she buried her muzzle in his neck fur for a few moments, drinking up the comforting scent of the uderstanding tom. Removing her head, she gazed into his blue eyes and blinked slowly. "I am doing well, Silvershadow, how ae you and Swiftfoot?" She asked.

[spottedleaf]

Silvershadow nearly sighed with releif. THey were all fine. " Everyone is well, I'm sure Swiftfoot would have sent greeting with me if she knew you were coming." He nodded to back it up and looked at the other she-cat. "Hello, I'm Silvershadow. Who may you be?"

-GATHERING HAS STARTED-
I ask that everyone stop their conversations and hold them to after all three leaders and Windchaser post. After, you may all continue until the leaders brake up. Thanks

[glow=green,2,300]Brownstar began to walk to the front of the rock. "All Clans, the leaders are ready to begin. " She cleared her throat. "ThunderClan is no longer under my control. Or Rubytail or Dreamheart. Dark, the BloodClan leader has taken over our camp." Nervously, she eyed the BloodClan warriors that were in the bushes. "ThunderClan put up an unneededbattle and we lost. Dark is not bad like everyone thinks. BloodClan has helped TC in more ways than we can imagine. And so I tell you leaders, to join with us. Join with TC in a quest for victory." Brownstar turned to look at Stormstar, Silverstar, and Windchaser. Even tho Brownstar had made a pretty good speech, her eyes showed all the lies she had just told, all the hurt she had endured, and what she felt. They told how she had barely eaten since BloodClan took over, how she hadn't talked to anyone.. how she felt inside.. alone, cold, and helpless. "On a lighter note, we have some new Warriors and apprentices. ThunderClan is prospering and my borders are well protected. That is all." Brownstar tried to step back, only slipped and fell backward. Spitting curses, she struggled to her feet and sat next to Stormstar, licking her cut. A few tears came out of her eyes, but nothing much. [/glow]


//Thanks for the update Silver.. I wasn't sure of the order.//

[||Silverstar||]

(Right)
[glow=silver,2,300]Silverstar flinched at the words of the ThunderClan Leader. She made a hiss to her warriors to make sure they said nothing. "If ThunderClan is prospering and under control of the Dark, then why doesn't he show his face like a true leader." she muttered going up on the rock. She herself eyed some figures in the bush. She wasn't going to be inteminated from any BloodClan or any clan for that matter. "That is all good news Brownstar, but I fear that you are mistaking. You see, I was off wondering the WindClan Territory. I looked over at your border to see countless amounts of rogues. Though that sounds like nothing, I will tell you this, the rogues are becoming more orginized and powerful. I saw and heard the Rogues speak of something called The Great Journey. Though I do not know what these means, I do know that it is similar to what you Brownstar said 'in the quest of victory.' I, myself will not join ThunderClan in this quest. We have always lived in four clan, and that will never change. " started Silverstar. If something was watching, she would be brave before it and not crenge. WindClan has done that once to many, and I will not lead my Clan to doom, Silverstar thought. "Though I must say, my apprentices have finished with the new Training program, we have more warriors. Know this, I am not afraid to use my warriors." She said this for a warning to the clans, and to any unwanted guests that might have been here. Silverstar walked off the rock standing strong, and unmoved by any of the news by Brownstar.[/glow]

[xx the brownster]

[glow=green,2,300]Brownstar hissed at Silverstar. "You know nothing of what they plan.. and Dark is too busy to come to silly gatherings." With that, she nodded to Windchaser to go up.[/glow]

[w i n d y o <3]

Windchaser smiled weakly and began to head to the top. This was her second time of acting like leader. "All cats, I am here for Moonstar since our leader is sick. SC is doing well. We have had no recent wariors or apprentices, prey is plentiful. That is all."

[Stormstar]

[glow=blue,4,000]Watching the short exchange between Brownstar and Slverstar, the RiverClan Leader was surprised to see how hostile the ThunderClan Leader was to Silverstar. Nodding respectfully to Windchaser, Stormstar took his place at the front of the rock and cleared his throat, unsure of how to put what he wished to say. "BloodClan took over ThunderClan, not through the fault of ThunderClan Warriors," He began, avoiding the eyes of the Clan cats and fixing his gaze on the stars. "ThunderClan sent the Warrior, Whitetail, to RiverClan, asking for our Aid. We were unable to fight, and now Whitetail is being nursed back to good health by our Medicine Cat, though he is still to weak to return. However, Brownstar, I shall not align my Clan to yours and BloodClan, for Dark is a bloodthirsty murderer. I know him from my past, and he killed his own Mate for producing Kits that died and ran away. I would rather die than join him. RiverClan has new Warriors, Apprentices and Kits. Rogues have been scented in my territory, but only faintly. My Borders are well guarded." Stepping back, he allowed the crowd to digest his news.[/glow]

[spottedleaf]

Silvershadow nodded in agreement with Stormstar. He sighed, knowing if he could get them he would work Silverpaw and Holwingpaw till their paws bleed. The threat of Bloodclan was not to be ingored or taken lightly. He looked at Willowtail, wondering what she was thinking and gulped at the chance those bloody rougish cats had attacked Riverclan while he was gone. His eyes flashed a bit of red to remind him to keep calm and he flicked his tail nerviously.... continueously flicking was more of the right word.

[xx the brownster]

[glow=green,2,300]Brownstar stepped infront of Stormstar. "You are not leaving until I say so and I say you don't leave until you join me, traitor!" she spat at Stormstar. "You thnk you can get away.. well how abot you step into my paw steps. I lost everything, even a life when BloodClan took over, and if i have to suffer, so do you!" At that, she lept at Stormstar.[/glow]

NOTE: This "fight" is only for Stormstar, Silverstar, Windchaser, and me. I will PM you if you can post in it.

[Ferny]

Fernleaf loked up to the leaders as they stood on the highrock. Her tail flicked in confusion. why won't Stormstar help us? she thought. Her tail flicking in annoyance and in horor as Brownstar leaped at Stormstar.

[Stormie™+ Wake™]

((*starts chanting* FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! *continues*))

Silvershadow watched the leaders in horror, he couldn't believe the leaders would fight at a gathering. The moon wasn't even clouded! He wasnted to rush forward to help his leader but couldn't make himself. One, he was too scared of Starclan's wrath at fighting at the gathering and Two. He had no idea where Windchaser stood in this and he couldn't fight aginst his sybling. He looked at Willowtail.

[Stormstar]

[glow=blue,4,000]((Silvershadow: Correct account!))

Stormstar rolled with the impact of Brownstar's body, and he let out an earsplitting screech as he felt her claws. Bringing up his hind legs, the blue-gray tom shoved the weak she-cat up and off him, yet he kept his claws sheathed, unwilling to hurt his old friend. Surprisingly, StarClan had not sent clouds over the moon. Was he really as treacherous as Brownstar thopught? Had he forsaken StarClan's gift?[/glow]

[xx the brownster]

[glow=green,2,300]Brownstar, easily shoved off, got up, already tired. Rasping and trying to breath, she said,"Stormstar, you can't get away with this. StarClan will find you. They will show you and your Clan that I was right. I was right! StarCLan showed it to me.. they told me what will happen! The Clans will fight. We all shall die!" With that, the TC Leader fell over, trying to breathe.[/glow]

[Ferny]

Fernleaf froze in horor Brownstar! she thought. oh no she flicked her tail furiouls but kept her place.

[spottedleaf]

((SORRY STORMY!!))

Silvershadow felt fur rise up at the Thunderclanner's words. Starclan really told them to join rouges? He couldn't believe it. "Lair" he hissed through his teeth. He could feel tention building a little as the leader fell and waited to leave alomst egarly.

[Ferny]

Fernleaf looked over at the Riverclan warrior Brownstar is not a liar! she thought as she stared at the Warrior that lay near her

[~B*l*a*z*e~]

{{Beownstar pm ed me))

Sprinklestorm was shocked. Forgive me StarClan! she thought and then lept up to where the leaders were running over to Brownstar. "Brownstar... are you okay?" she whispered soothingly, standing over her skinny body.

[xx the brownster]

//Yeah.. Stormy, Windyo, and Silver.. Sprinklestorm is invited as Brownie's little buddie =^^=//

[glow=green,2,300]Brownstar looked, horror filled. "Sprinklestorm, Sprinkle.." she rasped. "Don't let that mad RC leader hurt you.. get away while you still can. RiverClan will murder the Clans! And then WindClan will help them.. yes, Silverstar is just as evil." At the end, Brownstar started mumbling to herself unintelligible(SP?) words.[/glow]

[~B*l*a*z*e~]

No they are not! Sprinklestorm thoughtto herself, but shewas smart enough to not say that to Brownstar, "Brownstar, don't talk. won't let them hurt you." The silver she-cat looked over at her leader, then looked up at he other leaders, avoiding their stares.

[Stormstar]

[glow=blue,4,000]Stormstar was not alarmed at the ThunderClan Leader's words, and he merely padded forward to stand over her, yet he was not aggresive or hostile. "Brownstar, you are not in your right mind. Dark has reduced you to this...this state of mind. If you were the same Brownstar, you would not have broken the truce. Like I said before, RiverClan wil not align with BloodClan," He meowed, his voice firm as he gazed down at the weak Leader. Turning round, he moved forward to the front and cleared his throat. "What you have seen today is what can come from Dark's madness. ThunderClan, I resolve that our debt to you will be paid - but not by bloodshed between us!"[/glow]

[xx the brownster]

[glow=green,2,300]Brownstar looked up at the gray tom. "You say all this but you have had no experience," she spat. "You tell me I have gone nuts. You will not even return my Warrior. MY WARRIOR! Instead, you keep him for yourself.." At that, Brownstar tried to get up, only she fell again, to week to even stand. [/glow]
