Janna blushed as all the cats in the clearing looked at her. She glanced at some of them, nodding curtly, trying to be friendly. Her paws trembled as she sat there. 'Get used to it...' She thought, 'It's gonna be a comman thing now...' she sighed and sat up staighter, and made her fluffy fur lie flat again.

Bloodclaw felt his fur bristle as Rowanstar adressed the four clans. He couldn't help but glance over at Janna, who seemed to be taking the attention from the other cats surprisingly well. A low growl rumbled deep in Bloodclaw's throat, but he did not show his continuos displeasure at having the kittypet with him at the Gathering. Looking back at his leader, the amber tabby thought he caught a flash of anger in Rowanstar's eyes when he looked at Bloodclaw. But, whatever it was, it was gone in the blink of an eye and he decided to dismiss it as a trick of the moonlight. ~ Willowstar listened calmly as Rowanstar started off the announcments and patiently waited for her turn to speak. She could feel a cold chill drift up her spine at the mention of a kittypet joining ShadowClan. In her opinion, Rowanstar would have been the last person she expected to welcome a stray cat into his clan - let alone a kittypet. Still, Willowstar accepted his choice with not so much as a twitch of the whickser and stepped forward as he retreated. Standing at the head of the Great Rock, the RiverClan leader stared strongly down at the clan cats. After a moment of silence, she began in a voice that rang through the clearing. "RiverClan is thriving after the harsh leaf-bare, and we have some new apprentices here with us tonight." Willowstar dipped her pretty head to Sandpaw, Redpaw and Graypaw as she said this. Then she continued, her gaze level and betraying nothing. She spoke seriously with no hint of the usual cheerfulness in her tone. "But we are not as prosperous is I would have wanted. As many of you have noticed, RiverClan has come tonight without a deputy. This is because the position is currently un-occupied. I am not ashamed of this, however I will be appointing a new deputy very soon. This leaf-bare was long, and our deputy at the time died tragically in a sudden blizzard. Since then, I ahve not had the heart to replace such a wonderful, clever cat and very good, true friend. This is not a sign of weakness, and should not be interpretted as such. RiverClan thrives none the less." And with that, the RiverClan leader stepped back without another word, sitting down in her original place and waiting for the other two leaders to say their peices.

Lightstar nodded at Willowstar and stepped foward. She was impressed how well the kittypet was taking all this. "Thunderclan is doing well, we now have a medicine cat apprentice, Scarletleaf. We also have am kit whom is working very hard to become an apprentice. One apprentice in our clan is working very hard indeed. I am very proud of him." One of her eyes trailed over Owlpaw, "i am sure he will be a warrior soon. Thunderclan has been having good prey run since Leaf bare ended....one of my warriors was out hunting yesterday, when he cam across a large, strange creature. He said it had horns, large hard feet, brown fur, and a big nose. We don't know what this thing is, but i advise all the clans to watch out." She stepped back and waited for Gryphonstar to speak. (Gryph won't be here for awhile, so let's say the gathering is over) ......(Go back to camp!)

((ooc: I wasn't sure wiether was able to post, Rowan. Well, I'll do it anyways. I'm bored.)) "Lightstar speaks of truth. Some of my warriors have scented an unfamilar scent near Clan territory. It is none of our Clans. And nor it is rogues" Gryphonstar added, stepping forward to speak "but I'm not sure about the horns, part..." he added "it smells of feline...but it is not any cat that I have smelt. We may have two different creatures."
He let a pause go on, before continuing on a happier tone; "Mothwing, one of our queens, has given birth to two healthy kits. Our warrior count is thribing and we hope to get new apprentices soon. Our current medicine cat apprentice, Sandpaw, is doing an excellent job on her training."((ooc: Not the most exciting things...but I wanted to bring the mountain lion crud up. >D))

((ooc: *Screams!* Lions! Grabs Lighty and hides in bedroom))
Lightstar looked at him, "we've scented no unfamiler cats, but we might have them, AND the creature my cats found."
Sandpaw blushed at her name being called. She settled her self more straight next to owlpaw, her tail straight up in the air.
Janna looked up at the Windclan leader, a cat...but doesn't smell like a normal cat...she shook her head. This was purplexing indeed.

Gryphonstar awaited for the news of WindClan's discovery to sink in, before continuing on. He was well aware no other cats cared about anything but the mystery behind the unknown beings, but he persued in finishing his brief news anyways.
"Like with Willowstar, WindClan has no Deputy. I am well aware of the issues surrounding this. The members of the Clan will be sharing the responsibilities of a Deputy until I approve one" WindClan's leader added over the cats "I ask StarClan to forgive me...but I cannot simply appoint a Deputy that I, myself, do not believe will serve WindClan above all the cats that I currently have in my Clan."
I hope that did not sound offensive to WindClan... Gryphonstar thought.
"That is all WindClan has to address..." he finished, stepping down.

Lightstar nodded, "Well, if all the clans are done, we should end the gathering. So, until next time!" She leapt down and trotted over to her clan.

"Too quick" Lynxclaw muttered, too quiet for anybody to hear nearby.
Bothersome...what was the point of COMING? Batpaw sighed inwardly, getting tiredly to his paws.
Gryphonstar nodded and leapt down from the rock, padding over to his scattered Clan. He was content that WindClan was socializing with others, but now they needed to return to camp.
"Every cat from WindClan, follow me!" he yowled above the assembling cats.

Owlpaw caught Lighstar's eyes as she swept her gaze over where he sat. Did she mean that he was about to become a warrior? Despite whether or not it was true, Owlpaw felt excitment well up inside him. He also looked over at Sandpaw as her name was mentioned by her own leader. I wonder if Littlewing will let her become a ture medicine cat soon? he thought to himself. He would enjoy coming to Gatherings, as a warrior, to meet Sandpaw as a fully fledged medicine cat. The knowledge that medicine cats held and the power they could achieve with such knowledge daunted Owlpaw, and he admired Sandpaw for her position in her Clan. He slowly got to his paws as Lightstar called the Gathering to a close. He grinned at Sandpaw. "Well," he mewed, "I'll see you next time!" He touched his tail-tip to her sandy shoulder then padded past to join his Clan. ~ Dawncloud noticed Janna's slightly puzzled expression as she gazed up at Gryphonstar. Then she remembered that Janna would be unfamiliar with the other scents. She leaned over to whisper, "Be sure to pay attention to all the other Clan scents. You should know ShadowClan's by now, but start trying to decipher the others." She then smiled warmly at her friend. "You'll get used to it." As Lightstar ended the Gathering, she got to her paws and turned to Bloodclaw. "Let's get going." She padded past the tabby warrior, sweeping her tail beneath his chin as she did. "Come on, Janna." she called over her shoulder. ~ Rowanstar stood in his spot for a moment, glaring at Lightstar. Who was she to end the Gathering? Rowanstar could have called it to an end much better than the ThunderClan leader. Sighing, he turned to the remaining cats. "ShadowClan," he yowled above the hustle and bustle, "Let's go. There may still be time for some sleep before the dawn patrol sets out." He bounded down from the rock, signalling for his Clan to follow him out of the hollow.

Gryphonstar made a warning yowl once more for his cats to follow, then padded to the downs of WindClan. He was silent on his return to the territory, not stopping to chat with any of the other Clan members.
"Goodbye" Lynxclaw said to Batpaw, trotting off after Lightstar.
"Yeah, yeah..." Batpaw muttered, getting to his paws and following his leader. Waste of my time... he thought, eyes focused on Rowanstar's back.
