Sapphirepaw~

As the the last leader spoke his results, the gathering ended as we headed home.

As I yawn, Tawnypaw stumbles over to me, her eyes droopy.

"You both look tired." Skyshadow comments, as I nod my head drowsily.

"Well, don't worry. You two will be able to sleep in since this was your first gathering. Tomorrow, we'll work on your hunting skills, Tawnypaw." Skyshadow informs, flicking her tail for us to follow her back to camp as Tawnypaw leans on me.

As we finally make it into camp, Phoenixpaw limps over to us.

"What did the leaders say at the gathering? Who was there? Did anycat die from the other clans? Did you have fun?" The tom bombards us and Tawnypaw yawns and we walk to the apprentice den silently, getting some sleep.

~Next Day~

"Sapphirepaw! Time to get up. Its nearly sun-high!" A voice exclaims, jolting me from a soundless sleep.

"Urghh.. Fine.." I mutter, standing up, shaking the dew from my fur.

Trotting outside, I see many cats around as well as Doveshade ordering hunting and border patrols.

"Robinheart! Can you and your apprentice go on a border patrol? Take Stormpaw and Brokenclaw with you." Doveshade commands, as Robinheart dips her head and goes over to the dark tabby tom.

"Stormpaw! We're going on a border patrol." Brokenclaw growls in the apprentice den, as I hear a moan, then see Stormpaw waltz out.

"You two ready?" Robinheart question.

"Ready as I'll ever be.." Brokenclaw mutters, stretching his back.

"Okay then, lets be off." The she-cat commands, leading the patrol out of camp and near the NightClan border.

Reseting our borders, Robinheart nods curtly to a NightClan hunting patrol passing by.

Pausing to watch the strong warriors, I eyed the tortoiseshell calico mix with a larger belly. She looked very familiar.

Suddenly, my brain clicked in, and I gasp with shock.

That was the she-cat talking at the gathering, so that must be their leader, and she's expecting kits!
