June 10th Gathering

[dogfang]

'' You think you're so so big and bad don't you? '' he hissed to Shattergaze. All he needed to do was look at her for a second to know that he was much bigger and had more muscle than her. '' Killing Fallenleaves and Flamestar? Those cats were weak. Not unlike yourself actually. '' he whispered again. He enjoyed this cause he knew she couldn't lay a claw on him, and if she did he would love nothing more than to rip a few chunks of her pelt off. '' I heard DeathClan is getting desperate. Taking in silly little rouges are you know? They probably expect they can scrape a few meals off of DeathClan. But I've seen DeathClan's poor hunting skills, poor rouges are gonna starve. '' he said again. He didn't even care what Shattergaze's retort would be, as far as he was concerned she was worth nothing, so why would her words be worth anything?

[Silverleaf//xoxoDinosaurxoxo]

Silverleaf walked slowly down into the clearly, the last SoulClan cat to appear. She looked to both her sides to see DeathClan on the right side of the clearing, and SoulClan on the left. Silverleaf simply sighed and walked into the very middle where no one else was, and sat. As her gaze landed on Shattergaze, her eyes lost emotion and her fur spiked up. She dug her muscular claws into the ground violently, staying in place. Silverleaf looked lifeless as she looked up at Whisperstar with a very sad, empty expression.

She was obviously still upset with losing her best friend. Silverleaf looked at the other two Clans, still having a terrible air arround her, until her gaze landed this time, on Blackdeath. "What is that idiot cat doing?!" She thought. She looked back up to see Dogfang and Shattergaze talking. Silverleaf was almost as big as Dogfang, but unlike him, she was probaly more graceful and light from climbing so many trees. Compared to Shattergaze though, she was a little bigger and once again, thinner. Silverleaf got bored of looking around and sighed loudly, closing her eyes and falling deep in thought.

Joypaw looked at Blackdeath levely. She understood from his eyes that he was trying to make her and Goldenshard angry- Not going to happen. "You'll know soon enough how SoulClan has been doing," she mewed, trying to match his fake politeness. "And she's not Goldenpaw anymore. She's Goldenshard." Joypaw could not help the swing of pride in her voice. "Come on, the Gathering's going to start soon. I wonder what Darkstar will say. How's DeathClan?" she asked. "Still trying to kill us all off? Still your ultimate prime goal to make SoulClan fall?" Joypaw forced her voice to keep from rising in sudden anger.

[whitekit]

Whitepaw's whiskers twitched irritably. She wouldn't be stuck here. No she would not take that. Taking a careful paw step forward, she began to walk away causally but stiffly. She wanted to find out so much. She wanted to be at that gathering to know exactly what they'd said. To enrage anyone. Slinking across the forest floor, her shadow followed silently. The moon was at the top now, but she doubted anyone would notice. All they cared about was the doom of the other Clan, but it was dazzling in the night sky.

[Sweetsnow]

(lol Dogfang, at first i was wtf? then i read the rest XD)
Sweetsnow sighed and sat down in a spot not really close to any cat. She looked around and her tail tip twitched a bit as she turned her gaze to the Leaders and waited for them to start.
Deathsong: "Oh, fine. Our StarClan has helped me alot in the way of herbs. Though I mainly use marigold and cobwebs from all those seemingly pointless battles. Yes some had significance, but others were just angry quarrels, using up my supply." She shruggs and turns her head to look at Sandheart, still having to look up. "But I am fine, thank you. You are well?"

[Golden /~/ Shatter]

(OOH yeah, check this post!!! XD)

Goldenshard narrowed her eyes as the DeathCat came over to sit by her and Joypaw. His false politeness and fake smile were annoying as hell. He might want me to snap, or whatever other perverse goal he has, but if I do he'll regret it when I rip his face off. So instead she laughed when he said her name. "Joypaw is right. It's Goldenshard now. Might want to get your information right." Then she heard what Joypaw said and rolled with it. "Yes Blackdeath, how is DeathClan? Killed any defenseless kits lately? Been trying to hunt?" She put on a half grin, eyes blazing. "We've heard that your hunting 'skills' are keeping you short on prey this season. That true?"

~

Shattergaze listened in silence at Dogfang's words. Just like any other hot-headed SoulCat. They try to talk big and just end up sounding stupid. I was hoping for better, Dogfang seemed more evil than this... And to make him look even more ridiculous, it looked like he was puffing out his chest to make himself look bigger. Bigger than me? Ha. That's cat's only made of hot air and fat. Pathetic.

Once Dogfang had finished his little speech, Shattergaze shook her head and laughed. "Your words show how ignorant you are. And if Flamestar and Fallenleaf were weak, well then I just pity the rest of you because you wouldn't last in a fight with a DeathClan cat for two minutes." Shattergaze knew he was trying to egg her into fighting, which she would have been great with, but from his temper Shattergaze could see he'd probably crack first.

Then he went on to try and insult the strength of her Clan, jabbing at the fact they had taken in rogues. Shattergaze laughed again. "You think it shows weakness that we took on those rogues? If I recall, a pair of rogues not too long ago burnt down your territory. That seems strong enough to me," she grinned. "And at least we're adding new Clan members." A sickly sweet grin crossed her face. "You seem to be having them killed off faster than you can get more." Then her eyes blazed. "And you have no reason to call us out on taking in rogues when you have taken in a traitor to your own Clan, Stormheart."

[Silverleaf//xoxoDinosaurxoxo]

Silverleaf walked calmly to where Dogfang sat and raised a sheathed paw. She swatted it across his muzzle, "Flamestar?! Fallenleaf?! Weak?!" She hissed out the words through gritted teeth, making it a hoarse whisper. "Look in the mirror. You haven't been around in SoulClan for long, and if there wasn't a truce right now, You would have more than a red mark on your sorry excuse for a face!" Silverleaf continued to spat out, now showing no respect for the deputy.

"I suggest you never say that again. If you never learn your place, which is only deputy, and when you haven't been in the position long at all, your gaurenteed to get more than a complaint or two from the rest of the Clan. I don't know why Whisperstar chose you," As she whispered those last words harshly, she stalked away to the very back of the SoulClan side, where only a few other warriors were.

Blackdeath - Fierce and Unbearable

Blackdeath grinned at Joypaw and Goldenpaw, er, Goldenshard. They weren't getting mad, or angry, or even showed a bit of resentment, but he could tell they would crack sooner or later. DeathClan cats, unlike others, were so heartless, they knew how to keep their cool. Unlike the mangy SoulCats, who couldn't keep a straight face even if their lives were depending on it. At the two she-cats' harsh words, he blinked. He was rather surprised they had surged up that little amount of words. SoulCats were known to not have a big vocabulary, and here they were, insulting him. The whole time they were talking at the end, he wasn't paying attention, more like zoning out.

Yes Blackdeath, how is DeathClan? Killed any defenseless kits lately? Been trying to hunt? Goldenshard had said.

The caramel tom looked up, finally. Before she said her next sentence, he interrupted her, "That is for DeathClan and DeathClan alone to know. Maybe for you to find out, or to never know." He smirked, not even sure if the golden she-cat had heard him. he interrupted her again, and added, "I heard you SoulCats are getting weaker by the second, loosing kits, cats betraying you and coming to us, rouges killing you off, setting fire to your territory, you loosing half of you camp, and basically everything else StarClan have decided to forsaken you upon. Is that true?" He smirked, knowing he had basically turned her words vice-versa.

Ah, how he loved torturing SoulCats. It was so much fun, and more amusing than killing kits, as Goldenshard had mentioned. He wasn't really paying attention to Joypaw now, his attention was on beating Goldenshard down, then going to Joypaw. That's how he worked. Take down one, make sure they're done, down, and lifeless, then just move to another and do the same till everyone had bowed down to his ruling. That's how he had been when Tanglestar had been alive, and that is how he still was, no matter what. Shoot. All SoulCats cared about was spreading the love. Seriously. Come on. Who based their whole pathtic, shrewing life, on spreading love. Not him! How pathetic. Wait a moment. He smirked, maybe, if possible, he could make this work...trap everyone on the island and demand Leadership.

Hm.... Its so crazy, it might just work! he thought smugly. Without waiting for Goldenshard or Joypaw's reply, he walked off towards Two Rocks. He stared up at the spot where Darkstar sat, then he looked at where Whisperstar was. If he became leader, he would keep Shattergaze as deputy, and maybe, if Dogfang showed his loyalty, make him into a second deputy, but only all in a day's work. He pricked his ears at the direction in which Dogfang, Shattergaze, and Silverleaf had been.

Hm, hm, hm, hmm. Dogfang really did it this time. He could tell because Silverleaf walked off, looking pissed. Dogfang must have said something about her Clan, and Flamestar. It didn't help that the silver she-cat came back to find her best friend dead. For a second, he felt a prick of doubt, but less than a minute later, the doubt he unplanted itself from him and he was overwashed with his usual bloat, crazy, insane self.

(( my siggy rules <8 xD))

[Silverleaf//xoxoDinosaurxoxo]

(Omg it does!)

Silverleaf sat at the darkest part of the SoulClan side of the clearing, her ears flat against her head and her lifeless eyes narrowed to slits, glaring daggers at Dogfang. Her claws unsheathed and sheathed and in a process, making marks in the poor soil. Her gaze turned to Blackdeath who looked like he had just lost his marbles, she rolled her eyes at this. One of them was going to crack anyway, its a good thing it was him.

Silverleaf raised an unsheathed paw and sliced in down across the ground, leaving deep claw marks. She looked up at Whisperstar with a partly sad, partly lifeless, and partly depressed look.

[Clemence]

Whisperstar didn't hear what had started the argument, all she heard were Silverleaf's last words.

((OOC: aka, she didn't hear Dogfang call Flame and Fallen weak xD she's still blissfully unaware that Dogfang is bad))

She stared down at the base of TwoRocks in horror. She couldn't imagine Silverleaf would explode like this! And at a Gathering, too, in front of DeathClan! Whisperstar felt her pelt burn in shame. It looked like she couldn't even control her own warriors. Whisperstar grimaced and held her tail up to Darkstar. "One moment, please."

Before Dogfang could retaliate, she leaped down from TwoRocks and crossed the clearing in a few bounds. Whisperstar bared her teeth and jerked her head toward a small bush, indicating that she wanted to talk to her privately. She stalked over and whirled around to face her old friend. "I don't care whether you have a problem with Dogfang or not, you do not bring this up at a Gathering of all things!" she spat. "You have embarrassed me in front of DeathClan, and you have shamed your Clan. Whatever problem you have with my deputy, it's for you two to work out ALONE. I don't want to hear one more word about this. If you distrust my judgment so much on choosing Dogfang to help me lead this Clan," Whisperstar paused, her green eyes blazing with anger. "Then you're not the cat I used to know."

[poppy]

(( Dogfang is pissing everyone off x3! ))

[Silverleaf//xoxoDinosaurxoxo]

Silverleaf sat infront of Whisper, not moving. Her eyes looked more like holes than the happy, cheerful ones they used to be. In a quiet whisper, barely enough for the leader to hear, "It appears I've lost another best friend hasn't it? Why is StarClan so cruel...and...I'm sorry Whisperstar, but I will not let the name of Flamestar be smudged by your beloved deputy..." Tears streamed down her face but they were hidden in the dark. She emerged out of the bush and into the moonlight, were her tears could be seen by the few cats that were looking at her.

Silverleaf walked out of the Gathering clearing, leaving all the cats to wonder why. Her fur looked matted, and her tail dragged across the ground. When she was halfway to the camp, she stopped. She let the tears spill and splash lightly on the ground, until finally she couldn't take it anymore. Silverleaf let out an ear-splitting yowl the the cats at the Gathering, SoulClan, and DeathClan could hear before running as fast as she could in the direction of the mountains. "StarClan... why... why are you so cruel?!" She whispered hoarsely while tears flowed endlessly.

[Starpaw]

Starpaw scurried through the clearing, unnoticed, after Silverleaf. She found her broken, staring up to Starclan, crying." Oh, Silverleaf, it's not your fault. Life has up and downs, like clouds passing through the sky. Some of them will hold a storm and some will disappear and make life nice. Things happen that we all endure and you just have to keep a strong hold on what you believe." Starpaw finished confidently. Silverleaf looked astounded by the wise words she had said. Starpaw had surprised herself even." Always remember Silverleaf, Starclan can only watch, not interfear. They don't hold all the answers."

[Silverleaf//xoxoDinosaurxoxo]

Silverleaf stopped in her tracks and whispered, "Starpaw... will you help me with something?" She didn't turn around, she only stared up at Silverpelt. Her eyes stared to get a little more lively, "I want Whisperstar to know what Dogfang said about her best friend," Silverleaf turned around fully and gave a mischievious smile, "And then, I will accept my punishment. She has the right to know, but first... I need to take a long walk. I'll see you later Starpaw. Hurry up and go back to the Gathering, I'm expecting you to tell me what happened when I get back!" She smiled and walked again i nthe direction of the mountains.

[Starpaw]

Starpaw had a dreadful feeling in her stomach. Something wasn't right. By the time Silverleaf was out of sight she whispered."No..." She raced as fast as she could back to the clearing." Whisperstar!!!!Whisperstar!!!" she screeched, interrupting the leader's voice. She stood panting and guiltily stared up at her leader." I'm really sorryto interrupt but Silverleaf may be in t-to,"Starpaw gulped" kill herself. She told me," now talking to the whole clearing" that an imposter used Flamestar and Fallenleaves names in vain, calling them weak." she stared at Dogfangs blazing eyes.Could she really do it? She loved him, yes against the code. But she did." Your deputy, Dogfang, said that to our once, faithful leader, and your long missed deputy. That was his way for thanking you for making him deputy!" outraged cries sounded but she spoke louder," Dogfang has caused one of his fellow warriors to go on edge and end herself. He cares not. He never did. Saidie," she meowed and looked at the fragile queen," He never felt anything for you. He only cares for one thing: Power!" Starpaw was aware of his large figure, slowly creeping towards her.

[dogfang]

Dogfang sat where he was, unphased. '' Starpaw, now is not the time. Well there should never be a time for lies. Please take your seat so we can begin the gathering. You are disgracing your clan Starpaw. '' he mew gently, his voice barely a whisper. '' And I love Saidie. I can't believe anyone would deney our love, especially you Starpaw. '' he said looking at her sadly. '' If you must, go comfort Silverleaf. This is no way a cat should return to their home. '' he said just as quietly, with icy calmness in his voice. He then turned away from from Starpaw and looked back up at the Two Rocks as if nothing had happened. (( Dogfang really does love Saidie x3 ))

[Silverleaf//xoxoDinosaurxoxo]

Silverleaf padded quietly through the trees, but stopping when she heard what sounded like angry cried coming from the Two Rocks, "Starpaw... what did you say?" she murmured quietly as she then continued to pad away, following the moon. When she reached a clearing, she saw about three dark figures coming out from the bushes, chanting "Clan cat must die... Clan cat must leave.... Silverleaf backed up, her fur poofed out and her claws unsheathed. As the three cats drew closer, her eyes widened. She slashed her unsheathed paw across one of their throats, and when the other two pounced onto her, she let out a loud mix of a battle cry and a yowl of pain.

[joygirl33]

Joypaw glared at the insane Blackdeath as he padded away. "I'm glad he's gone," she muttered to Goldenshard. She saw Silverleaf talking to Dogfang, and something tugged at her that it wasn't any congratulations. Then Whisperstar leaped down from Two-Rocks, and began talking to Silverleaf in a quiet hiss. Joypaw watched Silverleaf exit the Gathering, wondering what Whisperstar had said, or what she held against Dogfang. Personally, Joypaw thought Fallenleaf was a better deputy then Dogfang. Espicially when he had been so rude to Thornclaw. StarClan, was Dogfang the right choice?, Joypaw prayed. Then Starpaw burst into the clearing. Joypaw stared at the medicine cat apprentice, giving her a look that said, What's going on? Joypaw listened to her angry accusations, and joined in the outraged cries. Flamestar was already dead when she was born, but she'd heard stories about him, and she had known Fallenleaf. And now Silverleaf was probably going to kill herself, and... the worst part of all, Dogfang was so ambitious he only cared for power, and didn't really love Saidie? Joypaw had met Saidie when she was just a kittypet trying to join SoulClan, and Saidie had done her best to defend her and Heartkit. Joypaw wondered what Saidie was thinking now. She's probably heartbroken and horrified. Joypaw heard a loud yowl of fury and battle. Silverleaf! Joypaw raced up to her, and found her trying to battle three rogues. Fighting at a Gathering? "Stop!" she cried, trying to thrust herself between the fighting cats, and felt unsheathed claws rake her side. "Stop!!" she yowled again, thrusting the two cats pouncing on Silverleaf before they could pin her down.

[Silverleaf//xoxoDinosaurxoxo]

Silverleaf had blood covering her, while the light of the moonlight hit her. She looked like an angel who had just fought. She gave a small smile and mouthed, 'Thank you' before blacking out. She landed on her side with a thump and her blood made a small pool around her, most dripping from her head, her mouth, and one of her forepaws that she had broken at least three times when she was an apprentice.

As the rogues ran away, silence engulfed the forest. A light breeze blew through the trees, carrying fresh green leaves.
