Another half moon had passed, and Firesky was actually enjoying the elder's den. She liked hearing old stories, and she smiled whenever the elders disagreed about if something happened or not. She also liked being treated like a leader. But sometimes she felt like she was useless to the Clan.
Outside the den Spottedstar called the Clan for a meeting. Firesky limped out of the den on her own.
"Will I even be picked to go to the Gathering?" she wondered. She wanted to see Leafheart. She wanted him to know how she was doing. He was probably worried. But she found that she was starting to forget about him. She never would forget him and his love, but she kinda had a crush on Treestripe. She looked over to the tabby Tom and smiled. He smiled back a warm smile. She limped to him and sat down.
"Silverlight, Treestripe, Beestripe, Firesky, Squirrelpaw..." She looked up as she heard her name. She did a little hop of excitement. She lost her balance and stumbled to the ground. Treestripe smiled and helped her up. They smiled each other. Silverlight took her attention away from his green eyes.
"I'm so excited!" She ran up to Firesky. You better get rested!
Spottedstar looked back as his Clan. Then he turned and ran through the tunnel, his Clan following him. Firesky was at the back, trailing behind. Treestripe looked over his shoulder at her and slowed down, then helped her run. She smiled at him and looked forward.
ShadowClan was already there, Cobrastar sitting be dad the Great Rock. As Firesky sat, her ShadowClan friends all gasped and ran over to her.
"What happened?" they all gasped. She explained the story over and over.
"I think she's answered enough questions..." Treestripe meowed, taking her in the center if the ThunderClan crowd. She sat close to him and waited for the other Clans.

"Go outside and play," Blizzardwing told her kits.
-
She smiled as her kits ran out of the nursery.
-
Firesky stared at him. Was he leader now? She suddenly hoped that he wouldn't see Treestripe.
Spottedstar nodded at Leafheart. "Prey is running well," he began. "And because of injuries, Firesky has joined the elders." Firesky crouched lower as all eyes turned to her. She shyly looked up to Leafheart. She and looked at Treestripe as he stepped closer and put his tail on her shoulder to calm her. -
Gingerfur blinked her eyes. She was in StarClan. Lilaccloud was with her.
"Lilaccloud," Gingerfur meowed, knowing what to do. "Do you promise to hold aside Clan rivalries, and take the responsibility of the Clan?" -
The smell of rain filled her scent. She stepped outside. She looked wide-eyed as she didn't see her kits.
"My kits!" she yowled. Cats came out of their dens. "We need to find them before it rains! They're gonna soak! With that she ran out of the tunnel. Her kits were right there. She gasped.
"Why aren't you in the camp? You had me worried sick!" -
"That's for Hollyleaf to decide." She called the medicine cat over.
OOC: Waterpaw you be Hollyleaf -
"Hunting is for warriors. For now, you play. Is that so hard to ask?" She grabbed both kits by their scruff and carried them into the camp. Relieved faces came from the cats in the camp. No matter how mad she was at her kits, she felt proud that her kit had caught a mouse. She set the kits down.
"Go to the nursery," she instructed the kits. "Eat your mouse. It's not like anyone else can eat it." -
"Why are you two smiling? You are in big trouble. I'm going to go tell Hazelstar how badly behaved you two are, and maybe you'll have to wait 7 month to become apprentices."
-
She looked over at Snowkit and back to Foxkit.
"Do you promise not to leave the camp until you are an apprentice and you are with a warrior?" -
"Is that a yes?" She didn't break her stern look.
-
"Come on." She started to feel a little sympathy. But he had to learn. She swooped the three kits up with her tail and led them into the nursery, grabbing the puny mouse in her mouth. She walked in the nursery and set the mouse down. Then she walked to her nest and plopped down, leaving the kits to eat the mouse. She was exausted.
-
She growled and looked up.
"Do you not know that you did something wrong!" she yowled. "Why don't you get it?" Poppyheart looked over to them. "Why don't you go to the elder's den? I'll watch the kits," she meowed gently. Blizzardwing was a little nervous.
"It'll be good training," she begged, signaling towards her swollen belly.
She sighed. "Ok." She walked out of the den and into the elder's den. She lied in the corner and fell asleep instantly.
Poppyheart crouched down to the kit's level. "What your mother is trying to say is that you are not supposed to leave the camp. She's only doing this because she's worried about you. What if you ran into a fox?" Her voice was gently and sweet. -
"She was very upset when Redheart died, and she doesn't want any of you to die also."
-
She padded to the tom.
-
Poppyheart narrowed her eyes. "Can't you kits listen?" she hissed angrily. She walked over to him, grabbed the mouse, and carried it back to where she was laying. "You kits have no manners!"
-
She reached over and clawed the fluffy out of the nest. She quickly put the puny mouse in her mouth and ate it quickly. Then she stomped outside and let the fluffy go, letting it blow away in the wind. Then she stomped back in the den and sat down.
"Your mother lost her mate because of you kits! He saved your life! Do you want to die and waste his death?" -
"YOU are disappointing him!" she yowled, ignoring her. "He didn't drown in a river so you could live and be a thorn in your mother's pad! He drowned so he could see his kits become great warriors!"
-
"You had to be there when your father died. The Clan thought that with the death of 1 great warriors, the life of 3 great warriors would come. You were supposed to be great warriors for your Clan, but right now you are disappointing them. You are disappointing the whole Clan."
-
She jumped forward and grabbed Icekit's scruff. She pulled her and settled her before speaking.
"If you show the Clan how great of warriors you are, I will go catch you a fluffy thing. I will catch you the most fluffy fluff thing and I will catch them whenever you want."
