Willowstar strutted regally out of her den in the Highstump. She stood in the clearing for a moment and skanned her camp. Everything seemed peaceful; the fresh kill pile was well stocked; a few apprentices were rolling around outside their den and an elder was lying infront of their own den, soaking up the warm new-leaf rays. With a satisfied nod, Willowstar contracted her muscles and leap swiftly up onto the highstmp. She opened her jaws wide and yowled the familiar call for a clan meeting. She waited until the majority of her clan had gathered, then began in a cool, assertive voice. "As most of you know, tonight there is a gathering at Four Trees." A ripple of agreement fluttered through the crowd for a moment, then died down again as the RiverClan leader continued. "I will attend this gathering, along with Crowfur, Robinwing, Mudpelt, Goldenrod, Firefox, Wolfcry, Redpaw, Sandpaw and finally, Graypaw. Mentors, be sure that your apprentices know the procedure of the gatherings. Everyone else, we shall meet by the camp entrance in a moment. I must speak with Crowfur now." And with that, the grey and white leader leap from her perch and padded smoothly up to her medicine cat. She sat down beside him and was silent for a moment, her eyes fixed on the cats gathering by the entrance. Then, without glancing at him, she muttered, "What will the other Clans think of my not having a deputy? I do not want to appear weak to the other leaders." Though her voice and expression were cool and calm, Willowstar's eyes betrayed the rare uncertainty she felt just now. She waited silently for Crowfur's response, still staring directly ahead.
