GATHERING

[Sasha]

"Please pardon me, Darkpaw," she said suddenly, shrugging her shoulders. "I'm unsure why I slipped away like that, I suppose all of this has..."
Stargazer paused, glancing back at Darkpaw and giving him a tiny smile. Forced, but it wasn't fake. "The Gathering is over, I believe. Too much tension in the air, perhaps. Too controversial of a topic, maybe." She let herself relax as the air did, her eyes darting about her to gaze over the cats nearby. Fellow clanmates, most of them, she thought. Comrades.
Not enough to--

Ivymoon caught Dreamchaser's eye, catching a breath and looking back at Deathstar. When the two were close, her Leader spat a few words and walked off. The green-eyed warrior blinked and rushed past Dreamchaser, shaking shock from her body and following a mouselength behind Deathstar, her pawsteps light and quick. If she'd been going any faster, it would almost have looked like she was hardly touching the ground.

Silver orbs gazed at the ground as he paced to the edge of the clearing, he silently hoped he hadn't damaged his relationship with Deathstar, that would not have been a good thing. He flicked his ears back and sighed, turning his face from the clearing and the cats. No apprentices, to risky. Warriors? But who? His mind drifted back to the cats and condition of his clan, he still needed to appoint a deputy. He looked up to the few Thunderclan cats that gathered around him. "Alright lets go." Standing up he swished his tail around to each cat in his clan, "When we get back we will have a meeting." He smiled and nodded, hoping that that would keep up the moral of the group.

Turning he padded through the brush and over towards the log, jumping up nimbly he crossed the log and dropped down on the other side. Turning he glanced back, making sure each member got across safely. When they did he turned and continued to move towards Windclan territory, the stale stench of Bobcat floating through the air.

Silentstep looked around slightly shocked, her eyes darting between Ravenstar, Deathstar, and Maplestar. She shook her head and turned towards the gathering group of Riverclan cats, her long fur waving slightly as she ran towards Maplestar, nodding respectfully as she entered the little group.

Talonwing looked around nervously and lowered his head, slowly slinking past Silentstep as he walked towards the Shadowclan cats. He looked to Deathstar, seeing the pain in her eyes he spoke, "Deathstar, if there is anything you need..." He knew deep down that she was probably angry at him, but he silently hoped she understood that he took his Medicine cat duties and dreams to heart.[/color]

[D.e.a.t.h]

Closing her eyes she let out a breath and turned her dark gaze to her medicine cat. "Talonwing not right now " she knew she probably sounded like a mother chiding her kit but she meant her words. Not only was she hurt but she was also confused about what choice to make you was now running the risk of tearing the clan apart by following her heart. Now turned away from him she let herself slip onto thought about what to do. The apprentice's did not support her views even though they where younger they where still part of the clan. Everything needed to be wayed which was risker.

[TYPICAL RED]

Scarletpaw slunk away with the rest of the Clan, but stopped when her mentor went the opposite way towards Deathstar.
Uh-Oh... She thought. No more gatherings. No more outings. Scarletpaw stayed were she was.
"I'll just wait here." She mummbled. "Talonwing will be back..." Her eyes darted from side to side, and she jumped at any noise.
