-------------------->Blood will spill blood...
Soulstealer hardly moved as the SnowClan cats were led down the slope with Moonstar at the head. He noticed Heavyheart was beside her, not Raindance.
When Moonstar had seated herself on the bows of the tree, the massive black tom stood and shouldered his way past cats, until he reached Heavyheart. The stormy grey warrior looked at him, a faint sliver of curiosity in his eyes. Soulstealer also noticed with a prickle of uncertainty some guilt in his eyes.
"Has Raindance gone to walk with StarClan?" the black tom growled, not unkindly. Heavyheart started. He shook his head. "Moonstar will explain everything." he meowed, then turned and padded away.
Soulstealer was annoyed at being kept in the dark. He was tempted to go and threaten Heavyheart until he told him, but then dismissed the thought. The SnowClan cats, except possibly Moonstar, were on edge. What's happened? Soulstealer wondered, but then shrugged and stalked back to the Knotted Tree. Heavyheart had said Moonstar would explain everything. But still, he wanted to know why the deputy, as well as her apprentice weren't there. Usually the deputies came to Gatherings, so...

Nightshade glanced back at the knotted tree. Wavestar, Moonstar, Wildstar. Now all we need is Ebonystar. "Wavestar, Moonstar." The ebony tom nodded politely to the higher ranked cats. He turned his attention to the other cats, and saw a silvery-grey apprentice staring wildly around.
Nightshade sighed, he was getting restless. He spotted the Sandclan Deputy, Soulstealer. The new Deputy of Jaggedclan got up and casually padded over to him. "Hi, Soulstealer. Deputy of Sandclan, right?" He sat down nervously. He wasn't sure of the personality of this cat. "Anyway, I'm Nightshade. Newly appointed Deputy of Jaggedclan."

Shadows can't overtake me...
"Uh.. hi?" Ravenpaw saw Spiritpaw and padded up to her. "I'm Ravenpaw. Who are you? This is my first gathering! I'm really exited and-" She stopped for a breath, and realised there wasn't anything else to say.
"So.. your from SnowClan right? I'm from JaggedClan, and my mentor's Veiledeyes!" It all came as a burst of exitement, the small black apprentice was bouncing up and down on her paws, her icy blue eyes glowing.

Tigerstorm shook his fur, it's been a while since he had been to a gathering. He was about to speak to Spiritpaw when another apprentice from JaggedClan arrived. He nodded.
"Don't give anything away about our Clan, just chat." he mewed softly and twitched his tail. He looked over at Riverstone, ha, that tom quickly picked up his own attitude. He padded over to his life-long friend and smiled.
"Tigerstorm!" "Riverstone."
They touched flanks as when they met as apprentices. "You seemed to have picked up my attitude." Tigerstorm smirked. "What?" Riverstone rolled his eyes and sighed. "My sister had kits, with the new deputy." he glared up at Nightshade. "I got a new apprentice, but unfortunatley, she didn't come. Her name is Miserypaw, and I see you've got one of your own."
"Yeah, a bundle of hyperness." he rolled his eyes and sighed, "But she makes me smile. Her name is Spiritpaw." He glanced over his shoulder and sighed.
Riverstone noticed many of the SnowClan cats on edge, "What's wrong with them? Was it Phoenixpaw and Stormcloud?" "Yeah, but she isn't dead, yet." "Really? Well, it wasn't his fault." "Hrmph, as long as it wasn't Spiritpaw, I'm fine."
Both of their tails twitched and they looked up at the large tree. Wavestar had just climbed up it. "SandClan's here, but no PineClan." they said in unison, looking up at the sky.

Spiritpaw looked up as another cat, about the same size as her, padded up. A black-furred she-cat warrior apprentice, from Jaggedclan. Name? Ravenpaw. "Hi, I'm Spiritpaw! I'm from Snowclan, and my mentor is Tigerstorm. The old grump is back there somewhere." She pointed her grey-ringed tail back to where the Snowclan group entered.
"It's my first Gathering, too. I was the only apprentice to come to this Gathering! So, who is Veiledeyes? Oh! There's Tigerstorm now!" Spiritpaw rambled on, watching her mentor and some other Jaggedclan warrior talk. What about, she couldn't tell. "Uhm, I don't mean to pry, but why did...uhm...Stormcloud do that to Phoenixpaw?"
Flicking her tail for Ravenpaw to follow, Spiritpaw trotted up to "the old grump" and ran underneath him. Her head plus two front paws popped up from between his front legs. "Hiya! I'm Spiritpaw, Grumpy's apprentice." She mewed to the Jaggedclan warrior.

Rivertsone looked down at Spiritpaw and chuckled. "Ah, so this is the hyperness you were talking about." he glanced up at Tigerstorm. "Pleased to meet you Spiritpaw. Your mentor and I have been long time friends." he looked over her shoudler and spotted Ravenpaw. He nodded at Veiledeyes's apprentice.
Tigerstorm nearly fell over and rolled his eyes, "I am no grump. You are just WAY too hyper!" he smiled and looked up at Riverstone and sighed. Riverstone could now see why he felt so happy around his apprentice. "You might meet my apprentice one day, her name is Miserypaw." he mewed calmly. He closed his eyes and opened his mouth in a large yawn.

Ravenpaw was rolling around on the floor, laughing. She jumped to her paws, giddy with laughter, and ran over to the three of them. 'Hi, Tigerstorm! I'm Veiledeyes' apprentice! Its nice to meet you!'
But the thing that was worrying Ravenpaw most was Stormcloud. Spiritpaw has just asked her a question that she didn't want to answer, and was relieved when Spiritpaw ran up to "Grumpy".

-------------------->Blood will spill blood...
Soulstealer braced himself as another cat padded slowly towards him. Taking in the cat's scent, he realised in an instant that this was JaggedClan. He braced himself, hoping that it wasn't one of those cats who came up to him and started to chat non stop about food and kits-
"Hi, Soulstealer. Deputy of Sandclan, right? Anyway, I'm Nightshade. Newly appointed Deputy of Jaggedclan." Nightshade meowed, and sat down nervously.
Soulstealer was slightly surprised, but didn't show it. He dipped his head slightly, as a greeting between equals. "I wish you a.." he hesitated. "A fulfilling deputyship. Perhaps one day you will lead JaggedClan." he doubted that Wildstar would die any time soon, glancing up at the branches. He suddenly realised how different each of the leaders look. Moonstar, with her perfect silver pelt; Wildstar, with her messy fur, and Wavestar, with a slightly greenish sheen.
Heavyheart absently listened to conversations, trying to pick up anything about Stormcloud. There were definitely some words being spoke on the matter, but nothing else apart from 'Stormcloud-...Phoenixpaw-" could be distinguished. He sighed, and noticed Spiritpaw meeting another apprentice, Tigerstorm with Riverstone...
Moonstar nodded her head once at Nightshade. She realised at once that he must be the new deputy. She thought about her own Clan. Thy had a reliable and loyal deputy...But no medicine cat. How could a Clan live without a medicine cat? She sighed, waving her tail below the branch as the wind whipped up her fur. She would not say anything, and she hoped no other SnowClan cats would, either.

Ghoststorm slipped into the Gathering behind his leader and Heavyheart but did not follow them up to the tree. Instead, he seated himself on the ground behind a cluster of JaggedClan warriors - Stormcloud not included - eager to hear any snippets of conversation. He tried to pick out all the other warriors, a 'game' he often played at the Gatherings instead of talking to cats. There was a JaggedClan apprentice he didn't know talking to Spiritpaw as well as a new deputy for SandClan. He knew Soulstealer more by reputation then anything else and couldn't help feeling a bit surprised that he was made deputy. With a name like that, how could the tom be good? Then there was that peculiar wide-eyed she-cat from JaggedClan whose name he could not recall and numerous SandClan cats. Where was PineClan though, with their near-brutal ebony leader?
Unfortunately, Tigerstorm soon sat down next to the tom in front of him whom he recognised as Riverstone, thus blocking his view of the tree. With an ever-so-slightly irked twitch of his ears, Ghoststorm picked himself up and wound around the various cats until he had found himself another space. It was near the deputies and the Tree, so that he could hear the important meows of the powerful cats. Ghoststorm waited with bated breath until he realised that for the most part, the 'powerful' cats seemed to be listening to their inferior Clanmates. Ghoststorm coughed in distaste - would he learn nothing?
Standing up again, he decided that the only way to learn something about Stormcloud or JaggedClan would be to talk to one of their cats. Unfortunately for Ghoststorm (or maybe Veildedeyes), the only free JaggedClan cat seemed to be that rather spacey one. Still, he supposed he would be a hypocrite if he disliked cats because they thought a lot. "Hello." The silver tabby tom meowed evenly as he sat down a respectful distance away from the wide-eyed she-cat whose name he really wished he could remember now, "JaggedClan, right?" Ghoststorm never had been one for chatting, but he didn't mean to appear abrupt.

"Thank you, very much! I didn't expect to become Deputy, you know? Did you feel the same way, or..." Nightshade's voice trailed off. "Uhmmm..."The ebony tom occupied his time by looking around the area, down at his paws, and smoothing his chest fur. "Heh..yeah."
Nightshade stood, and nodded to Soulstealer. "I guess I'll...find someone to talk to?" He turned and left, flicking his tail. He looked around before spotting a silvery tom advancing towards Veiledeyes. Alright, he thought, I'll just...stroll up and see what they're talking about. Easy enough, I guess.
And he did just that. Strolled up, pretending to not notice them, and bumped lightly into Veiledeyes. "Oh, hi Veiledeyes! Didn't see you there, sorry. Oh, hello there," Nightshade was now turned to the other tom. "I don't believe we've met? My name is Nightshade, Jaggedclan." +~+~+~+~+~+~ Spiritpaw nodded. "Yeah! I'm just a big bundle of energy!" With these words, the silver apprentice raced off and wove around other cats until running into a certain ebony tom with grey stripes. "Oh, I'm really sorry! I didn't see you!" The tom turned and looked down at her. "Oh, no. It's ok. You didn't see where you were going. I'm Nightshade. Who are you?"
"I'm Spiritpaw of Snowclan. You're from Jaggedclan, right?" Spiritpaw mewed, and looked up at him. "Yes, I am."

Ravenpaw pelted after her new SnowClan friend. She bolted into Nightshade's other side. 'WOOPS! Sorry, Nightshade.' The black she-cat looked at the deputy with wide, sorry blue eyes. She looked at her paws.
'Uh..' She tried to think of something to change the subject. 'Nightshade is the deputy! Did you hear?' She purred to Spiritpaw with an apologetic glance at Nightshade incase she wasn't supposed to say that just yet.

Veiledeye's would make great use of being a chameleon. Having the ability to look in two different places at once would be amazing. AMAZING. Because now her pale green eyes were desperately trying to keep track of Ravenpaw and the rest of the Gathering, since SnowClan and SandClan had just converged upon the Knotted Tree clearing. But anyway. The bolt of pure energy that was her apprentice was putting words in the mouth of another, white tabby apprentice, who was doing the same. Why, her apprentice had just found a friend.
But something worried her. And that worry grew to it's highest point when the two approached a cat she did know- Tigerstorm, a SnowClan warrior. She watched silently, ears turned towards the conversation to pick up key words. Ravenpaw was probably going to talk about her at a point, and then a friendly tail wave would be on the bill.
She was still listening and watching, as well as lounging on the ground, tail sticking to her side, when another cat approached her.
"Hello. JaggedClan, right?"
Whipping her rusty head in the voice's direction, still keeping her relaxed position, to find a tabby tom staring at her from two or so tail lengths away. She gave a small, revealing the nervousness she was holding back, smile and nod. Pausing for a moment, she began to shove herself into a matching sitting position when the new Deputy Nightshade nearly tripped both of them up.
Staggering on crouched front paws, she achieved the interrupted goal in a few seconds, her ebony clanmate already meowing apologies. Smile stretching awkwardly, she gave another frenzy of nods, murmurs "It's okay! Really" escaping her tapered muzzle in broken jumbles. Realizing Nightshade had already moved on to introducing himself to Ghoststorm, the she-cat lowered her head to give her dirtied, white-furred chest a few cleansing licks as the introduction went on. She looked up as soon as the Deputy's mewing was over.
"And I would be Veiledeyes, and yeah, JaggedClan." Defeating the point of making her waiting obvious, she returned her wide-eyed gaze downwards again to give a final few licks to her fur, before setting that off-setting gaze on the SnowClan, she could tell by his rocky, and just snowy scent, tom.
"And you are...? Your scent is SnowClan..."

-------------------->Blood will spill blood...
Despite of his easy temper, Soulstealer chuckled inwardly as Nightshade nearly tripped over some other cats. He would make a good deputy, although there was always something that new deputies didn't have. Experience.
He was about to reply to Nightshade before he went, but then thought better of it. He would probably do his Clan no good telling any cat anything about the Clan. He had learnt so at his first Gathering.
His eyes glinted red as he looked around at the many cats, then, eyes still on the clearing, he lifted one massive black paw and rasped his tongue over it twice before letting it slowly down again. He curled his tail around his paws, his ears pricked for any signs of PineClan.
Heavyheart decided he might as well acquaint himself with other cat while he was there. Taking a deep breath, he glanced around, and, at random, he picked a huge black tom sitting at the base of the tree. He started to pad over to him, then realised with a slight prick of annoyance that it was the deputy of SandClan. Stop it! he said to himself. You're not deputy and you never will be! Raindance is the deputy of SnowClan!
Soulstealer froze his gaze on the story grey tom who padded towards him. Again, he hoped it wasn't another warrior who babbled on about kits and food.
Heavyheart dipped his head respectively as he reached the black deputy. He was slightly nervous of his near blood red gaze. "At least warriors these days have respect," Soulstealer growled, but his eyes softened slightly. Heavyheart shuffled his paws, embarrassed. He sat down rather awkwardly next to the black tom. Soulstealer recounted that he had been tempted to threaten Heavyheart until he told him what was going on in SnowClan and JaggedClan, but now he realised he could just ask him. Abruptness was not Soulstealer's usual method. "What's between JaggedClan and you?" he growled, his eyes glittering. "And why isn't Raindance here?" Heavyheart hesitated. He knew he hadn't wanted to tell the deputy before, but somehow, he felt like Soulstealer was annoyed that he was being kept in the dark. So he decided to tell some of the truth, but not all of it. "We had a fight with a JaggedClan patrol," he meowed hesitantly. "And an apprentice was injured. Raindance's apprentice. She nearly died." Soulstealer nodded. "I understand. You needn't tell me any more." He knew he was putting Heavyheart in an uncomfortable position, having to tell another Clan's deputy, so he decided to change subject. "Do you have an apprentice?" he asked. He presumed not, as he would have probably seen them amongst the cats. Heavyheart shook his head, proving Soulstealer's predictions right. "But I hope to have one of Moonstar's kits," he meowed hopefully. Soulstealer twitched his ears. If Moonstar trusted the grey warrior to almost take Raindance's place in her absence, then she would undoubtedly choose him to mentor one of her kits. Even so, there were many other great warriors in SnowClan.

Gladeshadow, Mossfoot and Thornfire burst through into the writhing crowd of cats after the other SnowClaners, they split into random direction, Mossfoot trying to get a good spot to watch the leaders, a bounce in his step, due to his first gathering since he had been made a warrior by Moonstar.
--
Wavestar nodded slightly to Moonstar and Wildstar with a small smile on her maw as she watched all that was going on beneath the thick branch of the tree, her silvery-white bright with it's amber tint, due to the frosty light that sparkled gently on her soft pelt.

Tigerstorm looked over at Spiritpaw, whom had bounded off. "Let's go. I want to meet your new deputy." he mewed with a strange glint in his eyes. Riverstone shrugged and padded behind his friend. He nodded toward Spiritpaw again, a new SnowClan warrior and Veiledeyes.
"Hello Ghoststorm. Nightshade, I believe?" Tigerstorm dipped his head in greeting and turned toward the pale sandy she-cat with the wide-eyed gaze. He nodded slowly and looked over at Spiritpaw. Riverstone just sat down and flicked his tail back and forth. "Long time buddies." he mewed softly, sighing.
Pebblepaw padded into the clearing, Lostpaw at her side, and wound through the cats. She looked over toward a group of cats and shrugged. She spotted two other apprentices, one from SnowClan and one from JaggedClan.
"Hi! I'm Pebblepaw." she mewed cheerily, resting her tail on Lostpaw's shoulders. "I'm Lostpaw." he mewed softly and gazed toward the cats with large eyes. Could the tell that he was blind? He shrugged and flicked his ears, awaiting the cheery mew of his friend Stonepaw.
Tigerstorm and Riverstone nodded at the two apprentices. They both could tell right there by the way the she-cat, Pebblepaw, rested her tail on his shoulders, practically meaning that she was the young toms guide.
