Fourtrees #1

First topic message reminder :

Fourtrees is a group of four tall oak trees that the Clan wolves have held their Gatherings at since the early days of the Clans. Fourtrees is described as neutral territory, and is often used when wolves from different Clans want to meet outside a Gathering. There is a large rock in the middle of Fourtrees called the Great Rock.The Clan leaders use it to look down on the Clans and share their news during Gatherings

Jaystreak glanced at a wolf from Riverclan. One who seemed to have some type of over-confidence by the way of her actions. She let out a low snarl showing she is in no mood of being spoken to.

Again did a new figure appear so slightly on the changing scene that lay before her. She watched with intent as it approached, sent respect, and went along its merry way. She was in awe, but only for a brief time before the sheer amount of voices craved passage into her head. Coathonor kept them at bay, and shut them out.

Then, the aggressor had the audacity to return the stare. Stand for this, she would not. Coathonor curled her lips as saliva seeped from the crack of her jawline, which was armed by synched teeth.

Jaystreak snarled lowly in sign of warning. She lowered her ears to the side of her head. Her position was in a orotection mode.

Riversong nods, and sits down. "I was guessing as much, seeing as the activity has picked up," She whispers.

Cherryblossom heard snarling below her and she saw Jaystreak and a river clan female. She cleared her throat "Um, excuse me... but this is a gathering, lets keep the peace please...?" she asked.

Jaystreak looked up at her deputy and nodded. Her snarling had quit but she kept her eye on the female. No wolf was going to get in Jaystreak's way.

The creature acknowledged the pressing wolf in silence, but shot a fiery glare at the opposing wolf.

Riversong perks her ears, and looks at the two wolves. She folds her ears, tilting her head, before glancing at the one who had stopped the threat of a fight.

Jaystreak continued her hasteful glare wondering if the Riverclan female has any guts to come up to her face. The she-wolf continued her posture but had no snarling in the mix. She continued to have a stand-off.

The leader nodded. "I agree with Cherryblossom." She said simply. Before looking at Stonestar and Shadestar, Lilystar nodded at them. "I'll guess I'll start." She said loudly before positioning herself where she can be seen. "Riverclan is well, and we just had two new apprentices. Hunting is well, and everything is at peace where we are."

She would take no more.
"Why waste your time over here, surrounded by a slew of us when you can be with your friends? I'd say you are outnumbered, good stranger."

Then words caught her ears, seemingly by a leader of sorts. She listened carefully.

Riversong narrows her eyes at Jaystreak and gives a small bark. "I would not tempt a RiverClan Warrior. We may look docile, but we can fight," She whispers, and twitches her tail.

Darkfeather sighed as she sat down, the gathering had started at last and as she sat listening to Lilystar speak she kept glancing around. She didn't like being around so many cats but she had to remember there was a truce at four trees, hopefully no one would attack, and s far as she knew there were no arguments going on between any of the clans.

Jaystreak snarled loudly the proceeded her attention with a quiet tone on the leaders. She looked up at them waiting for some announcements.

She looked at the wolves below again silently while Lilystar spoke, she cleared her throat loudly to try and keep the ones growling at each other's attention. She looked toward the other leaders "Do either of you want to speak first or?" she asked, feeling rude if she suddenly started talking.

"Thank you for your assistance, friend," she noted, acknowledging the help of a fellow "RiverClan" warrior as she put it. This life was appealing to her more than she'd imagined.

A snarl came from the mongrel that dare challenge her.
"My friend, were you taught to ever snarl quietly? At least if you have some anger, hide it, to show some respect. Thank you stranger."

Lilystar had enough. "You guys. Its truce here, and if you wanna ruin it, go drown now." She said with the most nicest tone she could ever put when she was irritated.

"I warned you with a snarl, Riverclan warrior. I asked you not treat me that way. Seeing I was annoyed would of been your first sign to back off." She snorted as she paid attention to the leaders.

"I hope with sincerity you are directing this to the animal that is still snarling. Loudly, at that," she growled in irritation as her eyes lashed vigorously. "I don't believe it is one of us. Therefore, I fail to see why it STILL is lingering where it simply does not belong. Someone rid us of this thing and take rightful ownership of it. Be responsible for your products, please."

Riversong twitches her ears, and nods, before looking at the leaders and deputy. "I'm sorry, we mean no disrespect to the truce," She whispers, and looks at the other two. "We can continue this conversation at our borders," She whispers.

Although, Stonestar had said nothing during the last couple of minutes his large ears seemed to take in every word within earshot. The Windclan leader found himself particularly amused when a warrior from Shadowclan appeared and began to flirt with the recently arrived Lilystar, of Riverclan. It amused him further when another of what appeared to be Shadowclan came and scolded the male for flirting with someone from another clan. Breaking free from the brief source of entertainment Stonestar, brought himself into the conversation just as Cherryblossom stepped up to the Great rock and presented herself as Thunderclan’s deputy.

So it appeared that all of the clans leader like figures were now here and with that the gathering would commence soon. Stonestar simply shifted his paws as he listened to a brief source of conflict stir, between a few of the warriors. Thankfully, none of the wolves involved with the verbal conflict had been from his own clan. That thought alone made Stonestar’s black lips part and smile. Focusing his attention on the leader of Riverclan, Stonestar gave her his full attention and listened as she spoke about Riverclan’s condition amongst other bits of news.

When she seemed to be finished his attention changed to someone else who seemed to be speaking. It was Cherryblossom and she seemed to be asking who wished to go next. With a dip of his head, Stonestar simply stared at her before responding. “You may go next if you wish, Cherryblossom, deputy of Thunderclan.”

Jaystreak snorted at the females. Her tail rosed and she stood her ground. Soon, she paid attention to her deputy.

She nodded at Stonestar "Alright then." she said, before stepping forward and clearing her throat quietly. "Thunderclan is small, but we are still doing well, gaining new members, including pups. Hunting is fine and there has not been any news of danger in our clan from what i've heard. I'm also proud to be serving Thunderclan as their new deputy." she said, before stepping back and looking at Stonestar again, she felt pride in herself for speaking so confidently infront of many strangers.

"It... needs... to go back.. to its... side... of... the... clearing!" she whispered back, with anger flowing from her lips. "Do they not separate you animals at all if you apparently have rivalries? Shouldn't groups be sitting with those alike rather than those whom are different?"
