Goldstar was sitting on her hind legs, her tail wrapped in front of her around her front paws. She wished Pyrestorm would come soon. She didnt want the majority of her clan missing the gathering. She could feel her anxiety growing with every second he did not arrive. She momentarily glanced at Flystar and Charredstar, not getting along well at all. She held back a laugh.
The stars shone bright in the sky, the moon too. It was beautiful. She lost herself in it, and after a few heartbeats she snapped back to reality. The amount of cats in the clearing had grown, it was close to full at this point. Still no Pyrestorm. At least some of the thunderclan cats had made it. She tried to shrug off her anxiety, but she couldnt.
She heard Flystar offer Charredstar to start the gathering. She felt the anxiety about Pyrestorm and the majority of thunderclan not arriving, but she also felt the relief, the sooner the gathering started, the sooner she could be back on the territory she knew, with the cats she knew. |

> Pyrestorm < Pyrestorm looked as the cats gathered for the gathering. He looked up to Goldstar as she already started to lead the way. In fact he was rather surprised to see he was chosen as deputy. He kept his happyness inwardly at the moment. Turning he made sure to rest his gaze on the cats going. Counting them mentally in his head as they went by. As Baypaw was right behind the leader following the others he stopped. Someone was missing? Stopping the dark ginger tom cat turned around. His fierce blue optics gleamed in the shadow of the night. His brain pondered the missing cat. And as if struck by lightning a name came into his head. Hailpaw he thought rolling his eyes.
"Hailpaw, we have to go!" he shouted looking around for the white grey tabby she-cat. His ears flicked towards the entrance of the camp. And there she was, staring at him,. her icy gaze lowered. Was...was she embaressed? Why? He trotted over to the small slender female. His gaze narrowed skeptically. "Hailpaw we dont have all night, the gathering will be over at this rate!" she looked up at him, her lips parted and then closed again. She tried to flick her tail. "Whats tha---" he saw that her tail was stuck in the brambles. He chuckled. "Trust you to get stuck! In your own clan!" he laughed.
"Its NOT funny."
Her voice was light, yet clearly irritated. He closed his mouth quickly. "Alright then." he mewed amusement still in his eyes as he bent down toremove her from the brambles. A few scratches were on her tail, but they were small. "Alright, now lets go, were holding everything up!" he mewed and raced out of camp. He could hear Hailpaw on his heels as they ran. Reaching the gathering he slowed down into a trot. Turning he made his way up towards the leaders and deputies. He dipped his head quickly. "Sorry Im late, we had some issues at camp. But all is well now." he mewed apologetically and turned to sit below Goldstar. He quickly licked at his dark ginger fur.
NOT DONE!!!! do not post yet |

Goldstar was so relieved to spot Pyrestorm and the rest of Thunderclan. She felt better, having nothing to worry about, yet she was freaked out. She hated being haunted by her past, yet she couldn't help it. She couldn't stop it. For a minute wished Sapphiresong was sitting here, next to her. Sapphiresong may not be her real mother, but she was her mother, and Sapphiresongs family was her family. She felt so sorry for her mother, so many of her kits had died, Goldstar felt the losses along with her, she often missed them. Especially one, but she never dared think about that cat. She would break down, she wouldn't be able to hold up her mask if she did. She could not risk that. She blamed herself for the death of that one cat, she always did and always will.
Goldstar glanced around the clearing, everyone was here at this point. She waited for someone to start the gathering, most likely Charredstar. She couldn't wait for it to be over. She never started a gathering, but she was always impatient for them to be over. She kept her mask up, just seeming relaxed, to some maybe a bit stiff but most usually didn't notice the stiffness. It was hard to see. |

Charredstar's cold gaze didn't waver, but he simply grunted in satisfaction and swung his head around to see taht everyone was here. He stepped to the front of the great rock, squaring his shoulders as he gazed into the mass of chattering cats. He let out a loud yowl that caused the noise level to slowly fade. "Windclan has had no problems in the recent moons. The rabbits are plentiful, and the clan strong. There hase been a group of rogues hanging around the farm, but they have yet to cross our border, and if they do they will be dealt with appropriately." He gazed down at the assembled cats to see that everyone had been paying attention. He swept his cool green gaze over the crowd once more before taking a step back and glancing at goldstar, nodding for her to continue.

Blazepaw sat down next to the silver tom and drew his tail over his paws.
He smiled at Baypaw's description of the gathering in his point of view, and glanced out to see many cats gathering around the sitting leaders.
'Have you met up with the other medicine cats?
Looking back to Baypaw, Blazepaw smiled breifly, "Not here; but at the medicine cat meetig I did. Nightsong of Wind and then Echoheart of Shadow. They don't have apprentices yet though." He mewed smoothly, ears flicking away a firefly that made it's way over to both sitting toms.
Blazepaw glanced over his shoulder when he heard a small russle in the growth behind. Instantly he scented Thunderclan, and saw Pyrestorm appear right behind. "Finally." He murrmered, tail tapping Baypaw on the shoulder. "Pyrestorm's here." He whispered in his ear.
He saw as another apprentice came padding up behind the deputy, Hailpaw. He met the young white and grey she-cats gaze and looked away. That she-cat's icy blue gaze was both mesmorizing and intimidating to look at sometimes. And Blazepaw being the shy tom he was, wasn't good at talking to she-cats, even thought he was a medicine cat apprentice, didn't mean he didn't get butterflys in his stomach when a she-cat came by. And besides, he had started to grow a little puppy dog crush on the she-cat.
He looked over his shoulder slightly so he could watch her come up behind, wondering if she would stop by and chat with them. Since he knew Hailpaw was timid and all, she would probably end up sticking with her clan-mates.
Suddenly he heard a loud yowl, which signaled the gathering started. Letting out a small sigh, the orange and white furred tom looked towards where Charredstar started to speak. |

Goldstars anxiety spiked as she stepped forward, in front of thunderclan was ok, in front of all the four clans is not ok. "Pray is running well in Thunderclan, We have have not had many problems in thunderclan. We have a new deputy, Pyrestorm, do to the fact that our old deputy, Rainstorm seems to have disappeared." goldstar stepped back, nodding at Flystar to continue. The worst of the gathering was over, and she knew everything would be ok. She was impatient for the other two leaders to speak, and to be able to get on her way back to camp.
She glanced at the sky, it was still clear. Starclan must be pleased, she thought. The night was chilly, but she didnt feel any wind. It was nice to know nothing bad had happened, well nothing bad seemed to have happened, or, she thought, will happen. |

Goldstar was staring blankly out across the cleaing, thinking about starclan knows what. Charredstar kept his hard look, but he felt awkward inside; anything that didn't have to do with clan politics was difficult for him to figure out. "err, Goldstar, are you going to speak?" he said quietly, but sharply, poking a paw into the other cats fur at an angle that nobody could see.

Goldstar glared at Charredstar angrily. "I already spoke, are you deaf? Blind?" she kept herself from spitting at the other leader, but she was furious. She felt a rush of anger. How dare this cat touch her! She stepped away from Charrestar. She was having trouble keeping her mask up. Suddenly, a delayed reaction, she had a flashback.
"I told you to get me a mouse, and a bird, NOT a thrush and a vole! How DARE you disobey me, your father, of all people!" her fathers voice boomed out in anger. Suddenly something knocked her over. Someone was on top of her, attacking her. Hurting her. Ear. Shoulder. Rib. Tail. Face. Stomach. One after another they where hit, bit, scratched...Something pocked her in the ribs. A few heartbeats later, it poked her there again. Her father had left her alone, but not before yelling at her to go get hunt him a mouse and a bird. She coudn't even hunt yet! She was bleeding all over, her fur punctured where she had been pocked in the ribs. She limped to go follow her fathers orders, her heart was pounding and she was scared out of her mind
Goldstar froze for a second at the memory. She made sure to keep her mask on, but inside her feelings where boiling. She couldn't show any change to the clan cats below. she didn't dare. Her hear pounded, but she stared out at the cats below, acting like nothing happened, but it was one of her horrible memories. They always freaked her out, no matter what. She hated her father with all her heart, sometimes she thought if she could kill him with her own paws everything would be better, but she knew it wouldnt. |

Charredstar blinked in surpirse, but this was his territory again, and he had too much self control to get angry over such a trivial insult. "I was only reminding you this gathering is slow going already, and it would be best if its leaders did not daydream when they are supposed to be speaking." He countered his voice like ice; cold green gaze locked on goldstars blazing amber eyes. He almost blinked in surprise again when he noticed a deep sadness, buried deep in the amber depths, but not deep enough to hide at this range. He held his gaze for another few moments however, and then slowly looked at Flystar, waiting for the leader to speak.

"I was not spacing out, thank you very much." Goldstar growled quietly. "And I was finished speaking, so you have no right to get mad at me." She glared at Charredstar, and stepped further away from him, waiting impatiently for the gathering to end. Flystar, than Huntstar, than home. She hoped Flystar would speak soon, and she hoped Charredstar would leave her alone. She didn't want anymore flashbacks, she didn't want her secret to be discovered by the other leaders. She couldn't let that happen. She hated having flashbacks at gatherings, but flashbacks where something she couldn't help, and she despised that. |

Beneath the moon Flystar watched the quarrel silently, shifting between each leaders green eyes as they growled. At least it’s not just me charredstars angry at. The blinked and turned away, every cat below stared up with mixed expressions and glowing eyes. Depending upon there allegiance they seemed either pleased or annoyed with what they heard while others were only mildly interested. If this is how it’s going to be under the leaves I wonder how leaf-bear will see us. She lifted a paw and gave it a few rasps, the rock was hard and two leaders till needed to speak. Of course, one of them was her.
Time to speak Her fur rustled as she stood and faced both the leaders and the crowed momentarily. Shadowclan is doing well! The marsh still provides our clan and our prey with plenty of water to drink. We expect to have a new apprentice soon who I’ll announce next gathering. Other then that Shadowclan is ready for leaf-bear. With this she fell silent again, enjoying the sound of her words still ringing against the oaks. An ear flicked in a satisfied manner and she nodded to Huntstar as she sat back.
-----------------------------
Baypaw was wrapped up again, to him things couldn’t have been any better. He’d never heard the voices of the other leaders. They all looked big and powerful standing up there with the moons glow accenting there fur. He didn’t notice Goldstars slight apprehension, he could only see the good in Thunderclans leader. To him she was just giving Charredstar a well earned warning. All the new things had confused him but he was loving the moment anyway as he slowly came to realize he’d never answered Blazepaw.
Pyrestorm was easy to spot and slipping behind his shadow was Hailpaw, Baypaws fellow den mate. He couldn’t remember but he thought she was older by a moon perhaps and had seemed shy of him though they hadn’t really met much. Hailpaw! He called out and bounded over to her, trying not to look aggressive or anything. Tail held high he slowed to a walk as he came nere. Want to join me and Blazepaw, the gathering almost over but you could sit with us. Pointing back to were the older apprentice sat his yellowish green eyes gleamed as he waited. |

Huntstar returned the nod and began with,"Thank you Flystar,for finally breaking up Goldstar`s and Charredstar`s arguement." Huntstar said gratefully,"Riverclan is prospering with the fish annd water voles given to us by the river. Riverclan also has a new apprentice,Lemonpaw."
Huntstar sat down and looked at the other leaders to see if they wanted to say anything more.

Charredstar blinked at the brown leader; he hadn't really meant to snap at Flystar, it's just his old grudge against anything Shadowclan had kicked in. He felt strange, he couldn't quite place it, like something nagging at the back of his mind. Wait, great starclan tell me im not feeling...Sorry! he thought as he glanced back at the leader. He shook his head a little and wondered why he was going soft all of a sudden, and renewed his hard greene gaze twice as cold as before, maintaining his emotional wall. He looked to Huntstar, waiting for the report on Riverclan, he already felt uncomfortable at this gathering, perhaps it wouldnt go on too much longer.

Goldstar nodded, happy that the gathering was over. She waited a few heartbeats for the other leaders to have a chance to say anything else. She knew she should mention their new apprentices but it was to late, she was not going to dare speak up. She was to uncomfortable already. She glanced at Charredstar, and caught the quick flash of softness, she was surprised. Charredstar had always been a cold leader...She purposely thought about something else, not caring.
Suddenly the wind blew, and a cloud whips came and covered the moon, right when Goldstar looked up and than disappeared. Her heart started pounding faster, what had she done wrong? She stared up at the sky, trying to figure out why Starclan was angry with her, but not anyone else. She couldn't figure it out. |

Charredstar noticed Goldstar looking at him with great interest, and he realized he must have lost face for an instant, he growled and whipped around on the Thunderclan leader. "You know theres no need to stare, im not going to burst into flames by you merely wishing it!" he snapped, surprised at himself for actually losing his cool. he regretted it instantly and licked the ruffled fur on his shoulder. Why should her care if the Thunderclan leader has seen him soften for a moment; Because he was worried he would look weak? Was that it? He really had no idea what was wrong with him tonight, he looked around the clearing to see if anything else was happening, his gaze hard as stone, cold as ice.
