Rabbitwish

Sunnyflower

Rabbitwish narrowed his eyes. Yes, why would Asceticpaw lie? "And you value her word over mine?" his hackles raised slightly. "Of course, if we have every reason to believe her then...." He looked away. "I can't believe that you would believe a lie like that about me. From an apprentice known to help her brother with rude pranks and tricks, no less!" Rabbitwish turned his head sharply back to his mate. "I shouldn't be surprised. You've been hanging around with Stagstep, and expecting now, too." He shook his head, pinning his ears. "If you see no reason to not believe Asceticpaw, then here's one. Trust. I am your mate, and relationships are built on trust. If we have no trust, than what are we?" The last sentence was barely a whisper as it left Rabbitwish's lips.

Caveclan

Sedgetail
Juniperfoot
Chiveclaw
Lilystem

Glancing back, Sedgetail grinned at the happiness in Burrwhisker's face. Sedgetail opened her maw, playfully calling, "Catch me if you can-" She quieted abruptly, her green eyes flashing with alarm when Smokefur came streaking towards them. Sedgetail stopped, glancing at Burrwhisker. This wasn't good. Sedgetail didn't believe they were breaking the warrior code by being friends but other cats would and did. Harespring certainly wasn't convinced of her loyalty. Smokefur would have the same mindset. They had no good proof but if word got around, there'd be trouble. She padded over to Burrwhisker's side, looking warily at Smokefur.

"I'm Juniperfoot. Nice to meet you guys," The she-cat replied. Her gaze flicked to Dustpaw, noting his hostility. "I have an apprentice too, Sunpaw. He's about a moon or so younger than you. You might meet him at the next gathering." Juniperfoot told him. "Sunpaw's not too chatty but he's very smart and kind. His brother is the more talkative of the pair." She smiled, proud of her clan. When she'd joined, the clan had been tiny but now Caveclan had grown stronger. And the clan would only to grow.

Lilystem narrowed her eyes as Chiveclaw whispered into her ear, "They're allies. Brookclan I think?" As he'd been part of Caveclan longer than Lilystem, he'd had more of a chance to explore the territory and find the borders. Lilystem acknowledged his words with a brief nod and focused on the two Brookclan cats curiously. "Yes. I'm Lilystem and this is Chiveclaw." She introduced them. "Your from Brookclan?"

"Yeah, sure!" Wildpoppy snickered, cuffing Sandleap behind his ears. "Nobody can hide from the mighty Wildpoppy anyway!" She boasted, puffing her chest out.

The light ginger she-cat's eyes widened slightly at Rabbitwish's words. She stared at him as if she had never seen him before. Her usually warm amber eyes turned cold as she narrowed her eyes. "Did you really just accuse me of mating with Stagstep?" She mewed softly, no emotion in her voice.

"Stagstep is my BEST friend. He didn't have to cover for us but he chose to anyway." Sunnyflower growled. "And to say that I'm having kits with him?! He loves Bayfur and she had his kits, he doesn't want to be with me and I don't want to be with him." She lashed her tail.

Sunnyflower shook her head, turning her back to him. "If you have to question my loyalty to you, then maybe we shouldn't be mates anymore." She mewed, her voice cracking on the last word.

Rabbitwish

Sunnyflower

"Yes, I question your loyalty because you dare question mine! When I've been nothing but good to you! I've risked my job- my life's work, and my home for you! Yet as soon as some passrrby makes an offpaw comment you believe them without question!"" The medicine cat snapped, raising into a half-standing position. Rabbitwish lashed his tail, turning his head to the side because he could not bear to look at the cat whom he had devoted his life to. "Maybe we shouldn't." He choked out a whisper, his eyes pricking with moisture. The brown tom took a shuddering breath, then leaped into the bushes. "I'm sorry, Sunnyflower.." He whimpered to himself as he ran away from the plave that had once filled with light and love, now left with desolation and despair crowding inside.

Blazefur, Wildpoppy, Shadepool, Rosie, Hurricanepaw + Hemlockpaw

Squirrelstar flicked her tail, telling her clanmates to talk to anyone that they pleased except Tumbleclan. "Try not to speak with them, we don't want to cause any trouble, except you Rosie. I know you have family there, so you're fine." The light ginger queen turned and lead her clanmates down into the clearing.

The heavily pregnant leader scrambled onto the gathering rock.

"We believe in second chances."

Cats Attending - Onyxstar (Leader) | Softfire (Deputy) | Bumbletuft (Medicine Cat)

Onyxstar began preparing the clan to set off to the next gathering. It was Softfire's and Bumbletuft's first gathering, and she could see they were nervous. Especially Bumbletuft. "I can't believe it is time for another gathering already!" Onyxstar said, her eyes shining bright. "Hopefully there will be no enemies and wars like last time." It was clear that she was oblivious to the fact that Tumbleclan and Beechclan were on bad terms. "Well, let's go!"

----

Softfire shuffled her paws nervously. She had never been around so many cats before- she had mostly lived a solitary life as a loner. She didn't know what to say or act around these clan cats... she stared up at Onyxstar, who was already on the highrock along with all the leaders. Softfire... she was a deputy. Deputy... where are the other deputies?

Bumbletuft refused to go any further into the gathering. He frowned, hiding in the corner. This would set a weak first impression for Lotusclan, but he didnt care. He used to be a kittypet, always trusting and leaning on his twolegs for support. But among these clan cats? They were all intimidating to him, having lived their whole lives in the wild. What to do... what to do...

{Sorrelstar, Sleetfoot, Cedarslash, Sparksong, Barkknot, Webwing, Burntsoul, Malloweyes}

Sorrelstar knew their group was two cats smaller than it should be, she felt the absence of her medicine cats acutely as she led Beechclan towards the gathering clearing. Asptail had stayed true to his word and not left his den in the tunnels since he had learned of his mentor's death and the she-cat was desperately worried over her son. He kept shunning anycat's attempts to comfort him, preferring to run over his store of herbs and their uses from sunrise to sundown. She was grateful that Claywhistle had decided to stay behind with him, if any cat could reach him it would be his brother. Sorrelstar fluffed out her pelt against the rising wind, channeling her worry back into fury. There was one cat responsible for the absence of both her medicine cats, and that one cat was going to get what was coming to her, so help her Starclan. The leader of Beechclan flicked her tail, releasing her tensed cat into the clearing before stalking towards the High Rock herself, Malloweyes and Burntsoul padding after her. It was clear in the set of her shoulders that this was not the same she-cat who had lane prone in the middle of the gathering and groomed, this cat meant business. Now among the other leaders she tucked a tail around her paws and waited for Tumbleclan to arrive.
{Sorrelstar, Malloweyes & Burntsoul: Leader's group, waiting for Tumbleclan}

"Am I supposed to go with her?" Even now, Sleetfoot was uncomfortable with his position as deputy, and he shifted his paws awkwardly as he watched Sorrelstar and her entourage disappear. He probably was, backing their leader was something deputies did right? "Cedarslash, what do you think?" The tom nudged his mate who startled back into reality with a, "Hmm?" Sleetfoot searched her russet face as it turned to him, reading into the tired etched lines. "Are you okay? You seem pretty out of it." Cedarslash nodded haltingly. "Yeah," she breathed, "Just tired. I'll ask Skun- Asptail about it later." Sleetfoot's woory was far from assuaged but he pressed against her side and mewed, "Okay, well I think I'll stick with you then. Unless you don't want me to?" The she-cat snickered, "Oh no! Anything but Sleetfoot the feline burr!" She thwacked his side goodnaturedly and made as to push him off. He retaliated by leaning heavily against her. "Haha! You can't get rid of me that easily! You're stuck with me!" But Cedarslash gave a gasp and toppled over, dragging her mate down with her. But the grin on her muzzle said she was alright.
{Cedarslash & Sleetfoot: Open}

After a long journey in which Burntsoul was practically plastered to his side, chatting on about who knows what, Webwing was actually very relieved when she stalked off to go play witness. Immediately he felt guilty for the thought, Burntsoul didn't exactly have any friends besides him, and Malloweyes's didn't count. But sometimes even the nearly deaf tom couldn't hear himself think around her, and now she was pressing closer and closer and it was weird. The warrior found himself scanning the gathering for a sign of a familiar face in the crowd. With the spiders all hiding out for the winter Webwing had taken to frost fortune telling, and the cold swirls had told him that hanging out with Smoothpaw more wouldn't be a bad idea.

Barkknot wasn't sure why Sparksong was following her around, surely the chatty she-cat would have had better things to do, like stay back at camp with Claywhistle or something. For some reason through she had begged to come to the gathering and then decided to tail poor Barkknot who would really just like her to go away please. "So how do gatherings usually go? We're supposed to make friends yeah? Claywhistle told me all about the game but Sorrelstar doesn't seem to be playing it. o you have a lot of out of clan friends?" Ignoring everything that was spewing out of the orange tabby's mouth didn't seem to be an effective strategy, so Barkknot sighed and finally gave an answer. "No, just one." Just thinking about Tangleknot made her feel a little giddy, and the warrior began to actively search the clearing for any sign of the muscular tom.

Ashenclaw, Willowcloud, Applepaw, Patchthorn, Briardusk, Frostpath, Daisypaw, Foxpaw, & Birchpaw

Ashenclaw glanced around nervously as he led the others into the clearing. He took a deep breath as he gazed up at where the leaders were gathered. This was his third Gathering, but it would be his first time without Emberstar, and he hoped he wouldn't embarrass the Clan when he had to make his announcement. He watched as the others disappeared into the crowd, the three apprentices bouncing around with excitement. As he scanned the crowd, he found himself searching for Sheepclaw and decided not to join the leaders just yet so he could have time to talk to her.

Willowcloud and Applepaw walked quietly toward where the medicine cats were gathered, Applepaw looking around for Brindlepaw. Willowcloud smiled when she noticed his gaze darting around the clearing in search of someone. As they approached the medicine cats, he bounded off, having spotted his friend. "Brindlepaw!"

Briardusk happily padded around the clearing, looking for someone to talk to. She was pretty disappointed that none of the "fun" warriors from her Clan had been chosen to come to the Gathering - all she had for company were grumpy Patchthorn and scornful Frostpath, and of course her apprentice Daisypaw, but she had wandered off with her brothers. She hoped that her two fellow warriors wouldn't give others who tried to talk to them the wrong impression of LeafClan.

"It's so huge..." Daisypaw whispered, gaping at the throng of cats. Foxpaw scoffed, "You're not scared, are you? It's not that bad, honestly." An expression of hurt appeared on his sister's face, and she prodded him hard in the ribs. "I'm not scared!" Birchpaw watched his two siblings with amusement before mewing, "Come on, let's just go find other apprentices to talk to."

ＴＵＭＢＬＥＣＬＡＮ All will fall in its place.
Sagestar, Swanfoot, Russetleaf, Burrwhisker, Firefang, Rosepaw, Ashpaw and Foxtail

The cats of tumbleclan lumbered into the gathering. If one watched them closely, they’d notice how their eyes seemed downcast, their tails no longer held proudly in the air. In fact, it was only Sagestar and Swanfoot that did so. ‘’Sagestar, whatever you do, don’t yield to the other clans…I fear they’ll take advantage of your good nature.’’ The white deputy murmured, her eyes glittering in the dark like jewels. ‘’Thank you Swanfoot, I am sure I will be careful.’’ The pale leader replied, dipping his head before clambering up to the high rock. Sagestar curled his tail around his paws, green eyes staring intently at his paws. He knew that many of them were his enemies, he wrongly believed that sooner or later he was going to have to fight his way out.
Russetleaf sat in the shadow of the high rock, looking fearful for her life. She’d refused to tell the clan who gave her the scars, worried that another death would happen. Ever since Pebbleclaw and Greynose died, Russetleaf was more cautious than ever. ‘’If Ravenflower was here….this wouldn’t have happened.’’ She mumbled under her breath, eyes as wide as the moon. Curling her feathery tail around her paws, Russetleaf squeezed her eyes shut, shaking her head as though it’d make the nightmare end. It didn’t.
Foxtail was searching for her mother, her kittens trailing after her. ‘’Muuuum….what are we looking for?’’ Rosepaw whined, flicking her tail. ‘’Shush, don’t be rude.’’ Ashpaw replied, shooting his sister a glare. He hated her, she was such a perfect brat. ‘’Mum, Ashpaw’s being rude!’’ she added, glaring back at her brother. She’d tried to be so welcoming but instead Ashpaw pushed her away. What a brat, she thought. The ginger warrior ignored their bickering, green eyes wide and alert. ‘’Where’s Rosie?’’ Foxtail murmured under her breath. Burrwhisker and Firefang were nervously padding between cats. ‘’So…see you.’’ Burrwhisker murmured turning to his comrade, whom had already vanished. Firefang was searching for Swanfoot, she had to tell her something gravely important. Burrwhisker was searching for Sedgetail, he had to go and tell her something critically important.

Caveclan

Cats attending: Morningstar, Woolyfur, Shadedleaf

Cats attending: Pigeonflight,Juniperfoot,Sedgetail, Harespring

Morningstar had decided to bring a small group of cats to the gathering this time, seeing as he didn't trust the other clans. With all the tension between the other clans fighting, how was he supposed to trust them? Even with his own clan distancing themselves from them, he didn't trust them enough to leave the camp undefended. Slipping out of his den, he called a quick clan meeting. "As every cat knows, the gatherings is tonight. Juniperfoot, Sedgetail, and Harespring will be attending and of course Woolyfur and Shadedleaf will be coming." After the meeting, a flick of his tail had the chosen cats up and ready to go to the gathering.

They arrived rather early, with only a few clans in the clearing and seperated, each going their own way.

[b]Morningstar with the leaders

Morningstar approached the leaders, greeting them with a slight nod. "Hello," He said politely. This was all he said before moving to a spot a few inches away, close enough to listen but far enough that he wouldn't be expected to chat much.

Woolyfur with the deputies

Woolyfur sat with the deputies, quiet and simply observing. The tom relaxed, comfortably tucking his paws underneath him as he watched and listened to the other cats talk among themselves.

Shadedleaf with the medicine cats

"Hello!" Shadedleaf greeted her fellow medicine cats cheerfully. "Sorry I missed the first medicine cat gathering. Cloudpool and I were busy." The ebony she-cat told them.

Juniperfoot + Harespring are open

"I haven't been to a gathering in ages!" Juniperfoot said, excitement in her voice. "Me neither," Harespring replied, gazing over the clans. "There's even more cats than I can remember!" Juniperfoot remarked. "Hey where'd Sedgetail go?" She asked, when she noticed the silver tabby missing. Harespring narrowed his eyes, searching through the crowd intently. "I think I have some idea," He murmured, his eyes darkening.

Sedgetail looking for Burrwhisker

As soon as they arrived, Sedgetail managed to slip away from Juniperfoot and Harespring to go looking for Burrwhisker. She weaved among the crowd, glancing back at her two clanmates once. They seemed to have noticed her missing and Harespring could clearly guess at the reason. Sedgetail's fur pricked with guilt. Her brother already thought her disloyal. Running away to meet Burrwhisker didn't help.
