The December Gathering!

Tiger and Flame led Darkfang, Moonraven, Darkheart, Woodheart, Goldensun, Darkmoon, Icepaw, Auorapaw, Silverpaw, and Gingerpaw to the Blood Stones. Darkfang stood at the base of the red, blood soaked rocks while Flame and Tiger lept up onto the top.

Moonraven sat near the stones, where the Medicine Cats always sat.

Flame sat down and stared.

Midnightstar padded up with Deaththorn, Leopardstripe, Graymoon, Scarface, Brightsun, and Shadowpaw close behind.

Darkheart sat away from everyone. She preferred to be alone.

Woodheart sat in the shadows of the Blood Stones.

"Lets just get this over with.." Moonraven muttered to herself.

"Where are Hawkstar and Sparrowstar?" Tigerstar called.

"I don't know.." Moonraven whispered.

OOC: Since Echo's not on, lets just say she came in.

IC: Hawkstar raced into the clearing with Starfire, Bloodthirst, Tigerlily, Shadowpaw, Snowleopard, Deviltornado, Darkshadows, Flamepaw, Scarletblood, and Owlpaw. "Hello, Hawkstar." Tigerstar greeted as Hawkstar lept up onto a Blood Stone next to hers and Hawkstar dipped her head. Tigerstar saw Shadow Clan approaching with Sparrowstar leading Robinwing, Leafsong, Volcanopaw, Heatblaze, Waterclaw, Flowerpaw, Rockfang, Mountainpaw, Skypelt, and Meadowpaw into the clearing. Sparrowstar lept up atop a Blood Stone and Tigerstar howled for silence. "This gathering, i shall be last to speak. The order is Blood Clan, Shadow Clan, Dark Clan, then Tiger Clan." she stepped down to let Midnightstar get on the front Blood Stone.

Moonraven nodded.

OOC: Wow, Tiger. That was unexpected.

IC: Hawkstar waited for Midnightstar.

OOC: XD sorry. im impatient.

Midnightstar stood and looked out to everybody, "Bloodclan has had a new litter of kits.. they are strong and are hoping to become loyal warriors..on one of my apprentices patrols, she picked up a sent of blood, that blood was from a wolf, the last we saw of it..it was leading its cubs into Shadowclan territory, other than that..all of our warriors, apprentices, kits, and others are healthy", Midnightstar then backed off and nodded her head towards Sparrowstar/

Sparrowstar nodded and steped forward. "We have three new apprentices, Meadowpaw, Flowerpaw and Mountainpaw. We found the she-wolf. She had pups, so we killed her and took the pups in. There were 4, one for each clan, if anyone wants one..." he said as he stepped down. Tigerstar motioned to Hawkstar to speak.

Hawkstar nodded. "We have two new healthy kits, Owlpaw is close to being a warrior, and the three kits are to become apprentices in seven sunrises." She stepped back.

Moonraven continued to watch. Wolf pups? She thought, remembering Sparrowstar's speech.

Tigerstar stepped up. "I have an important announcement!" she yowled. "The Dark Forest has visited me in my dreams. They have told me to select, at the most, 5 able warriors for a long journey to bring back the real Tigerstar!" she howled.

Woodheart's jaw dropped.

Moonraven was shocked. She never had any dreams about that...

"By the next gathering, the Clan Leaders must have chosen at the most, 5 cats to make the journey. It will be tough, but it will be worth it." she yowled. She stepped down from the Blood Stones. "Darkfang, lead them back. He nodded and they set off. She padded up to Sparrowstar. "I wish to see the wolf pups." They both padded away in the direction of the Shadow Clan camp.

"Tigerstar," Moonraven said. "If you wish, I can check to see if the pups are healthy. You can pick the healthiest one."

"Come, then." she said, as they padded off.

Hawkstar lead her Clan away.

Darkheart sat there, a bit puzzled. She remembered seeing someone once that was a bit darker furred than her mother, with a torn ear, in a dream once. That couldn't be the original Tigerstar, could it?
