Fourtrees #6

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. Also, there is a small opening in the rock with a space big enough for many small pups to fit into.

Snowflower smiled. "So, where have you been?"she asked. "By the sound of it, you haven't been to camp."she said. "If you need any help, ask. One good turn deserves another."she yipped. She looked to Bluepaw and Hawkpool curiously but shook it off.

Fangclaw somehow looked at Apachewind and his flirtatious skills, as if it came handy. The warrior himself on the other hand, he found it awkward. Not when he had someone special in his mind. Shrugging and nodding a good bye to Hawkpool as she led the apprentice away, Fangclaw kept himself alert in case something bad happens to Bluepaw. He wouldn't want that. "I'll see you guys later." With a dip of his own head, Fangclaw left Apachewind and Snowflower alone as he padded back to the bush he was previously at.

The male looked at Fangclaw. "Good bye then Fangclaw, I look forward to talking with you again." He replied with a dip of his head, before his replied to Snowflower. "Indeed I have not been to my camp, it seems things have kept me away." At the inclination that he might be struggling with something the Warrior smiled, "No, no, I quite content I am in no need of assistance but i thank you for your kind offer I will certainly remember that."

Tall feather jumped when Bluepaw asked him what he'd been looking for. The young apprentice had a sharp eye; too sharp for Tallfeather's comfort. For a momen, he stumbled, blindly looking for an answer, but was relieved when the apprentice finally padded away. Thank Starclan. Like heck was he going to admit to these virtual strangers that he was looking for a Stormclan she-wolf. Nodding to Apachewind and Snowflower and deciding to them them to their business, Tallfeather wandered over to the Stormclan warrior, Fangclaw.

"Having fun?" He asked somewhat gloomily as he sat down by the wolf.

"Bye Fangclaw."she said. "What seems to be troubling you?"she yipped. "You seem to be troubled."she tilted her head. "Are you worried about something?"she asked.

Fangclaw heard pawsteps approaching, and it was that male... Tallfeather. There we go. "Why so glum, chum?" He could see right through his act, and so sitting up with his tail twitching along the snow, the warrior looked at Tallfeather with a tilt of his head, mostly because he was questioning someone. Now, Fangclaw had never known Skyfeather, so there was no way he would know who she is. Just putting that out there. "And sorta, waiting for an old friend of mine to arrive." Fangclaw was trying to enjoy himself at this gathering, as Fangclaw never had been able to before.

Watching in bewilderment,he blinked and swallowed. Jow can she be my sister? I mean yes,she looks like my mother but. He couldn't find an explanation. He shook his head. "I guess its true then."

Wind padded into the area and sat down. His instinct is to glance all around to ensure no danger was around. He scanned the trees and all around agin, nothing. Happy that no danger was close, he stood and padded towards the others and waited to saw what the leaders were going to say.

Silverstone trotted gracefully into the clearing. Yawning, she shifted herself over to Snowflower. "Hows WindClan?" She asked the fae.

Silentwhisper padded into the area. He nodded at his sister who was sharing-tongues with Snowflower. He went to join Fangclaw. He sat down next to his clan-mate and listened to Tallfeather. "Good evening Tallfeather."

"Very well."she smiled. "And how is StormClan?"she asked cheerfully. Snowflower looked to Silverstone, not knowing a thing about her but talked anyway. "My name is Snowflower."she added. Snowflower nodded a greeting to Silentpaw, which was actually Silentwhisper now.

Firespell bounded into the clearing and stopped in the middle. She smiled. Fourtrees. She trotted over to a bunch of wolves not far away. "Hello," she said, wondering if anyone would remember her from the previous gathering. Firespell saw a glaring StormClan wolf but just ignored her.

Silverstone gave a disgusted wolf at Firespell. Then she turned her attention back to Snowflower. "That's great! We've just had warriors and apprentice ceremonies and Starclan has blessed Silverheart with a litter of pups. I'm Silverstone." She told the female windclan warrior.

"Silverheart had pups?"she looked shock. The shocked look gave way to an excited expression. "That's great!"she said excited. "Its nice to meet you Silverstone."she smiled. "I've heard Bluepaw is now an apprentice. Who else? Are you mentoring anyone?"she asked.

Shadowstorm padded into the gathering, appearing to have beaten those at camp here and Oakpaw too. He looked around and sat down, waiting in silence for everyone else to arrive. He was a warrior now, more proud then he'd ever be in ShadowClan. Oh wait, that's right, they're StormClan now. He thought.

Silentwhisper padded from Fangclaw to Shadowstorm. He sat down in front of the large male. "Hello Shadow... storm is it now? How are things in Sunclan?" He asked. He licked his chest and sneezed.

Silverstones smile faded a bit. "Sadly no. But there is a pup, Sparrowpup. She is about 6 moons. I think shes also keen on me as a mentor. Though it would be nice for Fangclaw to get one." She told the warrior. "So do you have any new pups in your clan this the last gathering?" She asked curiously.

Shadowstorm looked at Silentwhisper with a smile. "Yes, it's Shadowstorm, things are fairing quite well in SunClan. A lot better then I have hoped. How is it in StormClan? Are Bluepup and Lunapup apprentices or even warriors now?" He asked calmly, his eyes content on Silentwhisper.

Silentwhisper nodded. "Yes, things are well. Silverheart and Snowstorm were blessed with a litter of... four i think, pups. And Bluepaw and Lunapaw are apprentices now. Bluepaw is getting on fairly well with his training. Not sure about Lunapaw though." He told the Sunclan warrior. "So. How are Direstar and Moonwhisper. I heard that Moonwhisper is pregnant, am i correct?"

"Thats a bummer."she frowned. "I hope you get an apprentice soon."she smiled. Upon hearing whether there were new pups, she lightened up. "Actually, yes."she smiled. "Wolfpup, Whirlpup and Spottedpup." she said.

Silverstone grinned. "They sound like a cheeky bunch." She laughed. She then turned around and looked at her brother having a conversation with Shadowstorm. Then she turned her attention back to Snowflower. "And Russetstar? I havn't seen him yet?"

Shadowstorm grinned a bit, deciding to leave Isenpaw out of this gathering for he did not want to break down into an emotional mess. "I was at the river on our territory with Oakpaw, I assume your sources are correct, but I was probably gone when it was announced." He admitted. "They're good otherwise. Direstar was my mentor through apprenticeship. He's really a great wolf in general. We even chased away a mountain lion."

"Thats cool." Silentwhisper said with a nod. "So," He decided to say, getting a bit playful. "Any girl problems?" He asked with a slight smirk. He licked his paw and yawned.

Shadowstorm frowned when he asked this. He had major girl problems. "The love of my life fell into the gorge on our territory while hunting, she died." He said, a tear from the corner of his right eye. "Nobody had been to the gorge yet and she slipped on some ice. Her head cracked open." He sighed, looking at his paws to avoid eye contact. "Isenpaw." He murmured. "It was during my warriors ceremony too."

She sighed and went and sat down next to the Highrock. Hawkpool's here at least, as well as a pup from ThunderClan that I don't know. The firey wolf wondered why Silverstone was being unfriendly but quickly dismissed it. It's nice to hear about pups though, thought Firespell.
