As the full moon rises the cats of the Clans meet at the StarTree for a Gathering....

Starlingstar led her Clan onto the island, then went to join the other leader's on the roots of the StarTree.
'I'll begin the Gathering,' she mewed to them, then let out a yowl to get the attention of all the cats present.
'DarkClan is doing well this Newleaf. Prey is plentiful and our apprentices are progressing well in their training. We have had no threats from the outside borders, nor from anywhere else. That is all.'
She stepped back so that one of the other leaders could talk.

Ripplepaw and Wrenpaw walked closer to the StarTree, looking around at all of the other cats.
'There's almost as many cats here as there was in our Clan before Leafbare,' Wrenpaw whispered to Ripplepaw.
'Yeah, it's amazing. It's so weird having the other Clan's scents so close, I'm going to make sure I don't forget any of the cats I meet,' he whispered back.
The two glanced around then sat together amongst the other cats.

Mottledfrost, having waited patiently for Starlingstar to share her news, steps forward.
"FernClan," she says, with a glance at Foxpelt, "is doing as well as can be expected. Prey is plentiful. However, we have found rogues at the border on two occasions; a silver tabby she-cat and a black she-cat calling herself Raven. They left FernClan territory soon after being noticed, and there have been no signs of them since."
Mottledfrost's tail twitches and she pauses edited continuing. "Raven hinted that she was working for a different cat, but would give no other information; we do not know if the silver she-cat is also working for this cat."
She takes a step back. "There is still no word from our leader, but FernClan remains strong, and we hope to have them home soon. That is all."
Fogflower, sitting with the other elders, only half-listens to the leaders.

Shadowfoot comes over to sit by Wrenpaw and Ripplepaw, smiling.
"Are you having a good time?" she asks, purring. "Do you recognize the other leaders?"

'Where's the FernClan leader? I can tell the difference between the MistClan and the BreezeClan leaders - MistClan smells a little like us, but .. different, and BreezeClan smell like grass and heather, you know, the hills. But there's no FernClan leader.' Ripplepaw mewed quickly and quietly.

Shadowfoot nods towards Mottledfrost. "That she-cat with the white chest that just spoke, see her? That's Mottledfrost, the FernClan deputy. Their leader went missing just after the final battle last leafbare, and she refuses to step up."
The black she-cat glances around. "You won't find much FernClan scent; there are barely any cats left in their clan."
Spotting Foxpelt, she nods towards him. "That ginger tom over there is FernClan. And the gray she-cat over by Frogleap and Emberflight."

Snakestrike and Deadfur sat besides Shadowfoot, Ripplepaw and Wrenpaw.
'Rouges? That can't be good,' Muttered Deadfur.

'Rouges? What do they want?' Wrenpaw asked Shadowfoot shyly.

Shadowfoot nods a greeting to her Clanmates.
"The mousebrain forgot to say what border," she hisses under her breath. "Do you think the rogues could have been on ours?"
She looks down at the apprentice.
"Probably looking to steal prey."

'Riverbird and I noticed that FernClan had patrolled our border recently, and we decided to stay away from Leap Rocks because of that, didn't want to run into any of them. What if the rouge was around there?' Snakestrike mewed, worried.

Shadowfoot frowns. "Could be. We should probably let Starlingstar know after the Gathering. Though she might have figured it out already, I guess."

Starlingstar glanced down at her Clan, who were all sitting together and talking.
She didn't like the news of rouges. DarkClan was doing so well! That really was the last thing they needed.
She looked at Mottledfrost, 'Where did you see the rouges?' she asked.

Post by Crewe on Apr 14, 2012 4:25:37 GMT
Mottledfrost answers immediately, "The silver she-cat on the DarkClan border. The black one on the BreezeClan border."
She dips her head in apology. "I'm sorry; I should have mentioned this immediately."

Splashfur walked over to the group of DarkClan warriors.
'Hello Shadowfoot,' he mewed respectfully. He glanced up at the StarTree, then back at Shadowfoot.
'Has DarkClan had any trouble from the rouges?' He whispered.

Shadowfoot gives Splashfur a small nod; she disliked other Clans, but thought it best to appear respectful in front of her Clanmates.
"Splashfur. And no; we've seen none on our territory."
After a brief pause, she continues, "And MistClan?"

'At the BreezeClan border,' he mewed. 'It was strange though, most rouges are normally just out to steal our prey, but this one. She wanted to know my name and what Clan I was from, wouldn't shut up til I told her. Called herself Silver but you can never trust rouges. Why would a rouge care about what we call ourselves? It's been bothering me.'
