IC:
Earthfeather looked at the kit with large curious eyes, she turned towards Juniperpaw who whispered her everything. She looked at the kit with eyes of guilt and sadness and looked at Juniperpaw who was narrowing his eyes at his unsheathed claws.

Spiderstar led the clan towards the ditch, It was a rather large ditch in Scarlettclan along the river and a large stone the two leaders spoke from. He looked back at his clan leading them into the woodland part of territory that only had a fair amount for prey to hide in. Leafstripe was still speechless, but then realized that Gorsepool wasn't that old. He was trotting all over the place! He wasn't that old! she thought looking up ahead with extended eyes.

Minnowscale slowed to a trot, "You wish to see me, Fernstar?" Fernstar nodded, "It's not that important, but I wish it to be private, come along." She got up and walked into a hole which was her den. Minnowscale followed into the warm den, even though green leaf, it was cool at dusk. He sat down and started to groom himself as Fernstar began, "Do you... trust Darkclaw?" Minnowscale looked up at her with suprise, "Of course, he's the deputy, the future leader, I have to trust him." Fernstar nodded, "Yes, but as personality, do you think he's loyal? I see him everday visiting a cat from Eclipseclan, his sister, Dawnsky." Minnowscale answered, "Dawnsky is his sister, he misses her, that's all." Fernstar nodded, "Thank you, that will be all."
She exited the den with Minnowscale and yowled, "We're going to the gathering!"

They started bounding towards the deep ditch.

Spiderstar spotted the Stream, he slowed down and padded the rest of the way with a steady pant. Featherpelt caught up with him and meowed, "We're the first ones." Spiderstar said, "That's fine, they won't be long." THey came to the stream and one at a time crossed by the stones. Spiderstar strolled towards the bottom of the boulder and fell down and groomed his coat.

Fernstar ran across the route planted in her head she nearly forgot every gathering. Her clan followed her as she bounded from tree to tree. Minnowscale was running in place besides Hollyheart and Russetpelt. He tried not to look at Hollyheart and fall clumsily in front of the clan.

They came after a few minutes to the deep ditch. They joined with Eclipseclan into chatter of welcomes. Fernstar padded to Spiderstar and dipped her head, "Greetings, Spiderstar." Spiderstar meowed, "Greetings! How is your clan?"

Juniperpaw looked back up at Earthfeather, who was laying her soft eyes at the little kit. "Would you like a vole?" he asked. Earthfeather looked back at him with a slight nod, "If There's enough." Juniperpaw turned away before exiting looking back at the kit. The kit's suffering what I went through... he thought and then padded towards the fresh-kill pile.

Nightpaw bounded towards Troutpaw and leaped at him playfully as they rolled in a circle and stopped Nightpaw pinned down by Troutpaw, "Nice to see you too, Nightpaw!" Nightpaw chuckled as Troutpaw got off of him. Nightpaw Got up with a quick lick on his back and walked somewhat closer to Troutpaw. Streampaw padded towards them with Squirrelpaw at her side talking away like old friends. Troutpaw spotted Crowpaw laying down resting his head on his paws. "Leave him be, he's to serious!" Nightpaw meowed. Troutpaw looked back at him and yawned, "He really wants to be a warrior..."

Soulspirit (actually Darkclaw's sister not Dawnsky) bounded over to Darkclaw with a purr of welcome. Darkclaw meowed, "Hey, Soulspirit!" Soulspirit giggled, "Hello, Darkclaw, how's it being a deputy?" Darkclaw sighed, "Stress..." Soulspirit smiled, "Good!" Darkclaw hissed, "Hey!" Soulspirit laughed, "I was just joking!" Darkclaw meowed with a slight chuckle, "OK, Fox brain, how's the prey in your territory?" Soulspirit purred, "Plentiful! Green-leaf is the best time of all the moons!"

Hollyheart padded towards Leafstripe. Hmm... Where's Gorsepool? she wondered. "Hello Leafstripe." Leafstripe was at the stream part looking at herself and meowed with silence and gloom, "Hello, Hollyheart..." Hollyheart walked to her side and sat down, "Where's Gorsepool?" Leafstripe hissed and narrowed her eyes at the reflection and unsheathed her claws. "Leafstripe?" Hollyheart meowed again. Soulspirit looked at them and she flattened here ears, "Almost, perfect..." Hollyheart looked at Soulspirit with lost eyes. Soulspirit threw her head towards Darkclaw. Hollyheart got up and padded to them, "What's going on?" Soulspirit answered, "It's best if not told by us."

Fernstar leaped onto the boulder as Spiderstar pounced after she landed. Fernstar turned to the clans, "MAY THE GATHERING BEGIN!" The whole crowd stopped there meows. Spiderstar sat down and nodded at Fernstar. Fernstar dipped her head and turned to the clans, "Scarlettclan is doing well this green-leaf! Vinegarfur is in camp with Lostnose and her new kits! Born after the gathering last moon, they are only one moon old! Bluekit, and Sandkit!" The clans cheered in delight, Eclipseclan not as much.

Fernstar nodded at Spiderstar and sat down. Spiderstar dipped his head and stood up, "Eclipseclan is well this green-leaf, just as Scarlettclan! But I am afraid all is not well. Our medicine cat, Gorsepool, has died of old age-" "He didn't die of old age!" a she-cats voice broke into Spiderstar's speech. Many cats started asking questions, others were puzzled. Leafstripe came to the bottom of the boulder, "He was to young to have died of oldness, no, he was poisoned! By some cat! I do not know which cat, but I know it was from Eclipseclan!" Eclipseclan broke into panic. Spiderstar yowled, "STOP! Leafstripe, If you wish to announce something at the gathering, you must go through me first!"

Leafstripe took a step back. Spiderstar growled in a yowl, "Well, that is all, let's go!" Darkclaw looked at Soulspirit and she looked worried as she followed her clan to the camp. Troutpaw watched the three littermates exit, two of them looking frightened the other angry. Streampaw padded to her brother and watched the last of the clan disapear. Fernstar nodded, "Right, Scarlettclan, depart!" She leaped from the boulder and started to bound to camp with her clan following her.

Spiderstar padded into his den. The apprentices into their's. The warriors into their den. Silentfall walked heavily with her kits into the nursery, and Leafstripe halted and padded int oher den and scented Gorsepool's final breathe place. (They allready buried him) She scented it and found a squirrel filled with a juice. No flies were around it, Poisoned! But by who? She only knew that she saw Nightpaw padding out of the den when she arrived. Nightpaw! But why would he kill Gorsepool! She only knew that she never could find out a murder at moon high. She curled up in Gorsepool's old nest she felt a tear come down her cheek and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Minnowscale tumbled over Russetpelt's head. Russetpelt yowled, "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA!" Luckily only she was asleep. Minnowscale blushed clumsily, "Sorry." Russetpelt grunted, "I'm going to make sure, next gathering, we're not LATE." She got up and stretched. Minnowscale padded the rest of the way and took a first breathe of morning air, it showered earlier this morning and made the ground slightly more mossy, the rest more slippery.

Gorsepool was walking along a stream. Leafstripe yowled, "Gorsepool!" He looked at her with a friendly, old smile. He started to fade. Leafstripe paniced, "Wait! Who killed you?" But he allready had vanished. She woke up with a slight pant of air. She looked at the squirrel still no flies disturbed it. She saw through the daylight of the den, there was a mush of berrys, Deathberries! She herd Spiderstar pad into the den. "Spiderstar..." Spiderstar meowed, "I'm not mad at you, Leafstripe." Leafstripe looked at him, "I wasn't lieing about the poisoning."

Fernstar padded besides the north part of river. Sagefeather, Troutpaw, and Rivertail padded behind her. They marked the borders again and headed for the east side they only patrolled scented once a quartermoon. They marked that border and Fernstar scented something un familiar to Scarlettclan, "Badger!" Troutpaw leaped back. Sagefeather came to Fernstar's side and scented it, "A half moon ago, came to fish." Rivertail meowed, "Maybe we'll find more downstream." Troutpaw sighed in releif that they only SCENTED it.

Crowpaw followed Featherpelt, with Brownfur and Soulspirit. They stopped near woodlands. They seperated and he followed his mentor, Brownfur. Brownfur crawled towards a thrush, he slided through the long grass. He was a fox length away from it. He pounced and caught it between his jaws. He gripped it with deathblow and landed. He buried it and nodded at Crowpaw. Crowpaw scented around for a bird, he smelled a sparrow. Perfect! he stalked along from tree to tree until finally spotting it pecking the ground for insects. He unsheathed his claws and leaped.

Minnowscale padded into Hollyheart's den. Hollyheart meowed, "Welcome Minnowscale, please, comein." Minnowscale touched noses with her and purred. Hollyheart licked his muzzle and she blinked charmingly. Minnowscale licked her on the muzzle as well. Hollyheart yawned, "It's a nice day." Minnowscale nodded, "It's rainy too, the prey will want to come out." Hollyheart walked to the entrance of the den, "I need to collect some more Dock leaves, Streampaw and Troutpaw tripped into the river, their pads are better but they probably will need more." Minnowscale padded to join her, "I'll help!"

Juniperpaw picked a vole from the pile and walked back towards to nursery.

Earthfeather watched the kit lovingly as if it were hers, but she also tried not to look sad. She remembered she found Juniperpaw wandering alone hungry, and a kit as they came from the mountains.

Autumnstar shared tongues with her brother, Harelegs. "What will we do with the kit?" Harelegs asked biting a chunk out of a squirrel. Autumnstar replied after swallowing a peice, "I don't know yet, but of course keep it safe."

Spiderstar meowed as he looked towards the squirrel, "I understand, but I wish you wouldn't announce it like the world was ending." Leafstripe hissed, "If someone tries to kill the medicine cat that can mean death for the whole clan, Spiderstar! If I wasn't a medicine cat apprentice, we'd be better off the world ending!" Spiderstar wasn't afraid of the she-cats feirceness, "Very well, do you need help solving this case? Leafstripe sighed, "You might not beleive me, but I've found a suspect... Crowpaw."
