Stormpaw pounced on Ashpaw, knocking him to the ground. Ashpaw kicked out with his hind legs, pushing Stormpaw off, she raked her sheathed claws down his flank, then grabbed his scruff and pushed him the the ground. Ashpaw nipped her ear but Stormpaw bit down harder but not to hard.

"That's enough, time to get back to camp," Shadowclaw meowed, Skyleaf sat beside her, her white pelt getting ruffled up by the leaf-fall wind.

"I agree with Shadowclaw, it's going to get dark quickly," Skyleaf agreed.

When they got back to camp, Stormpaw headed over to the fresh-kill pile, Ivykit and Onyxkit were playing near the fresh-kill pile, when they saw her coming they looked at each other and ran back to the nursery. Stormpaw's tail drooped, not even her past den-mates liked her any more. She picked up a thrush and brung it over to the tree stump near the apprentice den. Tigerpaw came over with a plump vole, and laid down next to her.

"It's not such a big deal that some cats are scared of you," Tigerpaw licked behind her ears, "your a loyal cat of Thunderclan and that's what matters."

"Tigerpaw," she sighed, "you don't know what it's like to be hated by your own clan, it feels like I don't belong here."

Stormpaw followed Brakenstar down the hill to fourtrees, she could already see Riverclan and Shadowclan in the clearing and Windclan coming down the hill, she was almost jumping with excitement, it was her first Gathering! Ashpaw was beside her with Dawnpaw on the other side with Lightpaw next to Dawnpaw. Brackenstar was up the front with Runningtail next to him, Thunderclaws and Silvertounge were behind them, with Hollypaw, Whitechest, Tigerpaw, Darkpelt, Skyleaf, Burnscar, Willowheart and Silverfeather bringing up the rear.

When they reached the clearing a handsome white tom and a dark tortiseshell she-cat on a big rock, she guessed they were Swanstar and Darkstar, the leaders of Riverclan and Shadowclan. A younger grey and white she-cat was getting ready to jump on, she was probably Featherstar, the leader of Windclan. A ginger she-cat sat below her at the bottom of the rock. It definitely was not Pigeonfire, the Windclan deputy that she over heard the other apprentices talking about. Two other cats, a velvet red tom and a grey tom sat near her, they were Velvetstorm and Fishripple, the deputy's of Shadowclan and Riverclan.

"Who's that?" She whispered to Tigerpaw, flicking her tail towards the ginger she-cat,

"Sparkflight, but what's she doing? Only deputy's can sit there!" Tigerpaw hissed.

Brackenstar's yowl rang across the clearing, starting the meeting, "Darkstar do you want to start?" He asked.

Darkstar nodded her tortiseshell head, "prey is well in Shadowclan, but we do have a new apprentice, Silentpaw, her mentor is Swiftcloud." Stormpaw looked around the clearing and saw a sliver and white nervous looking she-cat sitting in a group of Shadowclan and Riverclan apprentices, they were congratulating her so she guessed that was Silentpaw. Stormpaw looked up to see Darkstar flick her ears towards Swanstar.

"All is good in Riverclan as well, we have a new litter of kits and Duckpaw has earned her warrior name, Ducktail, but we have had some problems from Twolegs, they have been swimming in the river and scaring all the fish away, which is strange for this time of year, Brackenstar do you want to speak?" Swanstar finished.

"Thank you Swanstar, we have appointed four new apprentices, Stormpaw, Ashpaw, Dawnpaw and Whitechest has taken on an apprentice, Lightpaw. But besides from that prey is good." Brackenstar explained. "Featherstar?"

The Windclan leader began, "Pigeonfire is dead, we believe rouge cats killed him after he went on a hunting patrol alone, our new deputy is Sparkflight and we have also got a new litter of kits, and I'm also expecting my own litter, Jaggedleap is there father." The Windclan cats cheered, a white tabby tom looked proud.

"That's Jaggedleap," Tigerpaw whispered, "the white tabby tom over there, he broke his leg as a kit."

The Gathering drew to the end and the cats headed back into their own territory's, Stormpaw saw Ashpaw lick behind Silentpaw's ears then said goodbye and join Dawnpaw and Lightpaw, Stormpaw padded over and joined her sisters and brother.

If you don't know who the cats are at the start of chapters they are leaders and deputy's from the original books by Erin Hunter, and I will ask questions at the end of chapter and you can answer then in the comments if you want to.
