ch. 2


A wave of relief washes over Hollowpaw as Silentshade pads away; now he didn't have to act all respectful like Sedgejaw taught him to be. Emberpaw didn't seem to mind a bit of playfulness anyways! "Hehe, I'm glad! It's a shame we don't share a border, otherwise we'd get to see each other more often." The tom's thin tail droops in tandem with his tiny head. "I hope you don't forget me, Emberpaw!"

Emberpaw purred at that before thinking of an idea "ooh what if we meet up here every other night! And I wont I dont forget friends" Emberpaw said from these"Or we could find a spot for us to hang out as well" she answered from these moving her tail a bit"It depends on how we agree how we do these"

Hollowpaw's pelt bristles slightly. "B-But we're not allowed to leave camp without our mentors," He points out. "And my father would rip my pelt off if he found out that I was sneaking out to meet a WindClan cat. I don't even want to think of the punishment he'd make Doestar give me..." A shudder visibly ripples through his lanky body. "I'm just not sure..."

"I always sneak out during the night, and my father doesn't know that I only done it if i couldn't sleep, I am only 7 moons old as well"Emberpaw muttered from these "I never had an friend outside of wind clan into now and the apprentice den is cramped as well"she added from these "But your father wouldn't know" she added from these.

Hollowpaw seems to fold into himself, looking somewhat defeated. "You don't know what he's like, though." His tone is exasperated and tired sounding. "If I even set one paw out of line, I'm due to be an apprentice for the rest of my life. I'll be lucky if I make it to being a warrior before he's leader..." The tom alludes to Doestar's old age, even though he knows he's not really supposed to talk about her in such a negative light. There really was no way of hiding her age to anyone, so trying to lie about it wouldn't really help him anyways.

"It'll just-- it'll just be really dangerous. Besides, I'm not that great at doing anything yet, so I might get hurt if something like a badger decides I'm its next meal."the Tom's words echo his father's, though he isn't quite aware of it yet. "Maybe when I'm a bit stronger."

"Just think it over alright" Emberpaw said towards the tom giving him a small resuring nudge him with her paw. She was trying to hide her hurt when she heard that, but she wasn't letting it bother her. Her ears went up when she heard a call from the leaders that the gathering has started making her eye over to the leaders making her freeze out of pure habit and fright shown in her frame"

Hollowpaw opens his mouth to reply, but a call from the Great Oak drowns out all of his words. The tom hesitantly breaks away from Emberpaw to sit with the rest of his Clan for the remaining duration of the Gathering, as he wanted his father to think that he was being a loyal SkyClan cat. Mingling with a WindClan cat in front of him would be like the end of the world-- if that was even a thing. The tom takes a seat beside his sister and brother, though he feels the distance between all of them. Being apprentices made them have to ruthlessly compete with each other for Sedgejaw's attention, and the only result that had come out of their struggle so far was resentment.

Emberpaw went towards her two brothers so she could stick close to them as she laid down beside breezepaw moving her tail around herself.

She was used to being close to either of her brothers when they aren't even busy with their training they have she looked up where the leaders were. Keep a straight gaze upon them. Not wanting to break long of sight.


Doestar clears her throat before continuing her address of all five Clans, a necessary measure for a cat as old as she. Her gravelly voice rings throughout the island as she begins. "SkyClan is doing well. Jaggedgaze and Ratskip have welcomed a new kit into the world this past moon, and we celebrate their successful kitting. That is all. I secede to Blizzardstar." The ancient she-cat shakily bows her head and cautiously sits back further on the tree.

Hollowpaw barely suppresses his urge to cringe when Doestar says that the kitting was successful. One of the kits didn't make it longer than a few days due to being sickly after birth: a common thing that seemed to plague SkyClan cats, including his own mother. Instead, he just nervously shuffles his paws (much to Creekpaw's chagrin) and continues to listen on. 

Blizzardstar stepped up as he spoke up as the small tom was the smallest compared to the others(he was an runt of his littermates)" Thunderclan is doing well, We have two new apprentices Alderpaw and sherdpaw and 3 new kits who were walked to thunder clan to Owlwhisker and Rainfeather these is all for thunder clan I well have spottedstar go next" Letting  the shadow clan go next as he backed up.

Emberpaw shifted a little; she cringed badly at the poor new apprentices that were named.Spottedstar waited patiently for the cheering for the new warriors and apprentices to die down before taking her turn to speak. "ShadowClan is as mighty as ever. Newleaf brings us plentiful prey and new kits as well. Blossomtwist and Whiskerfly have welcomed four new kits into our Clan in just the last moon." Her tone is boastful but not gloating. "I yield to Loststar now."

Loststar nodded before speaking as they spoked up"we are doing well for the clan, We have 2 new warriors in the clan for river clan Silverberry and Tatteredlegs but we are doing well for the clan but that's it" They also added "I am gonna let Foxstar speak now"

Foxstar’s long legs allow him to easily lean forward a significant distance without straining his aging joints too hard. “WindClan is faring well this newleaf.” he says, his commanding voice booming as it echoes around the groups of gathered cats. “Dapplewish and Heavybriar have welcomed a single kit into our nursery this moon. Our prey is running better than ever, too. We have had some recent… struggles with ThunderClan cats remembering where their border is, but I assume they will be wising up now that Leafbare is over.” The orange tom shoots a pointed look at Blizzardstar as he reclines back onto the branch. “If that is all, this Gathering is over.”

Emberpaw heard that before getting up onto her paws, Breezepaw went to go to his mentor leaving Emberpaw, Which she didn't mind at all she wanted the time alone for a bit it sadded her she may not be able to see Hollowpaw again as she lowered her ears in sadness.
