Foxpaw crouched over Greyear. Suddenly Greyear coughed. Foxpaw leaped up. "Greyear?"
"Yes," she gasped.
"You're alive!" Foxpaw's heart leaped with joy.
"It doesn't feel like it," Greyear panted.
"Get Fluffytail!" Foxpaw yowled. "Quickly!"
Nightpaw was already running back towards them Fluffytail hard on her heals. Fluffytail waved him away with her tail and crouched over Greayear. "The bleeding is easing, we can move her back to camp soon." She reported.
"Will she survive?" Asked Foxpaw.
"Thats for Starclan to decide."

A quater moon had passed since the battle with Rockclan. Foxpaw stretched and padded out of the den. A cold chilly wind blew across the forest. His fur was still Greenleaf light and couldn't keep out the cold. He shivered. He slipped across the empty clearing and into the medicin cat den. Greyear was sleeping soundly on a bed of moss. Fluffytail was further in orginizing herbs. Foxpaw gave Greyear a quick lick before heading out again. The pale leaffall sun shone in through the camp as it began to wake. Bearnose padded out of the warrior den and started orginizing patrols. Sandfur was sharing tongues with Dawnflower. "Guess what?" Foxpaw overheard her say. "I have to move to the nursery soon, I'm expecting kits!" Foxpaw felt a thrill of joy, the clan needed more appeentices. That was why Sandfur had been looking...bigger lately.

Stripestar was announcing who was going to go to the gathering that night. "Bearnose, Fluffytail, Dawnflower, Ripplestream, Stormwind, Lionspark, Gingerheart, Foxpaw and Darkpaw." He finished and swept back into his den. Foxpaw and Darkpaw both exchanged exited looks. They were both going! Nightpaw gave Foxpaw a hostile look but he was to happy to care. The moon slowly rose and finally Stripestar called together the cats. "Nobody is to mention the battle. That is between Oakclan and Rockclan alone." Was his firm instructions. Foxpaw leaped after Stripestar as he left the camp. Darkpaw sprang after him an together they ran towards the fortress. Poppystar was sitting atop the branch already. Stripestar leaped up and joined her. Darkpaw was looking a bit nervous being around so many cats. Foxpaw scented Rockclan on the breeze. Duskstar hopped up next to the two leaders. A cat came up to them apprehensively. "Hi, I'm Icepaw," she said.
"I'm Foxpaw, this is Darkpaw," Foxpaw replied waving his tail at Darkpaw. She opened her mouth to say something else but Duskstar was calling to start the gathering. Foxpaw noticed a new cat amongst the leaders. The new cat stepped forward. "I know it won't come as a surprise, but a half moon ago, Birdstar went to hunt with Starclan," she reported sadly. The crowd murmured sadly, Birdstar had been leader for ages. "Willowstar, Willowstar!" The clans started chanting. She dipped her head and stepped back. Stripestar stepped forward. " I am pleased to announce that our clan has been finding plenty of prey and are thriving."

"Also we have one new apprentice, Darkpaw. I am, however, sad to announce that one or our warriors, Silverpool has been murdered and a kit, Beetlekit has gone missing," Foxpaw felt the usual stab of pain at the mention of Beetlekit. The clans whispered amongst themselves. "Are you sure Silverpool was murdered?" Duskstar asked.

"The bite marks were obviously from a cat." Stripestar confirmed solemnly. The crowd was tense and suspicious. "It doesn't have to be a clan cat, it could be a loner or a rouge, couldn't it?" Frozenriver from Rockclan called. Stripestar dipped his head in agreement to Frozenriver's words. "It could just as well be from a loner or rouge, however we must keep our eyes open." He said gravely. He stepped back and allowed Duskstar to step forward. Duskstar raised his voice to address the clans. "One of our elders, Mousenose has gone to hunt with Starclan," he began "and a new litter of kits has been born. However we have so many new cats in our clan that food is starting to run short, we need more space." He turned to Poppystar "You have been hunting on our territory and we are finding it very hard to get enough food."

"Oh no," Gingerheart whispered to Lionspark. "Looks like its not only our territory he is after. Like we believe they were hunting on his territory." Foxpaw glanced over at the Rockclan cats. They all seemed pretty well fed, sleek, plump. It didn't look like they were starving like Duskstar insisted. "Prove it!" Snarled the deputy of Mapleclan, Darkstone. Poppystar waved her tail to silence him. "What proof do you have?" She asked icily.

"More than we need," he hissed.

Mapleclan cats were hissing and spitting at Rockclan. Darkstone was hissing at Frozenriver who spat something back. Darkstone leaped at her, claws outstretched. The tension broke and suddenly cats were everywhere. Spitting , hissing clawing at one another. Foxpaw was shocked. Fighting at a Gathering! Stripestar yowled for a stop. "Starclan is angry! Look at the moon." Clouds had indeed blown over the moon. The fighting ceased and anger turned to fear. "This Gathering is over!" Yowled Willowstar. She leaped down from the branch and gestured for her clan to follow. Quickly the Gathering broke apart and the cars nervously left. Darkpaw leaned towards Foxpaw. "Will there be more trouble?" She asked.

"I don't know," Gingerheart came up behind them. "Only time will tell."

Ok, I know that the gathering was overdue and it was more than a moon since the last one but I kinda forgot...
I put it here, it doesn't mess up that bad. So yeah. I did the best I could.
