Willowstar lead her clan down the foothills of the mountains, quitely they sprinted towards the fallen tree where they would cross the river to get to fourtrees. When they arrived the water was unusually high and flowing quickly beneath ready to suck down any cat they happened to fall in. She turned around to face her clan before going over the tree and told them over the rushing noise of the water "Try to stay in the middle, cross in single file and no joking around." Her eyes were dead serious with dread that one of her clan mates would fall in. Carefully she jumped onto the slippery tree and walked slowly across, reaching the bank and looking back at the rest of them to follow, telling them it was safe.

Oakstar left the the camp and sped into the forest. Her clan came to the beavers dam they had to cross to get to fourtrees. Alot of it was washed away, "I'll go first," she said stepping out on it. She felt the sticks split as she walked over them, but the dam held. When she was across the dam she signalled to her clanmates, and they followed. They approached the clearing and not seeing anyone, signalled for her clan to wait.

As Willowstar's clan slowly crossed the fallen tree she watched, ready to spring into the flooded river at any moment but they were all over safely. She gahered her clan, relieved that the most dangerous part was over and they began the run again toward fourtrees, they were late so they rushed in, surprised to only see the iceclan there. As Willowstar padded up to Oakstar she said "The other clans must have had tropuble getting here because of the flood, how was your trip here?"

She nodded in greeting to Willowstar. "Farly easy, the only trouble we had was crossing the beaver dam." she said looking around. "How about you?"

"Well Willowstar started "the tree that we had to cross was really slippery and the river was really fast, but we all made it and everyone is safe" she looked over at her clan which were mingling with the Iceclan's cats. A warm breeze carring the smell of spring wisked through the trees scattering the dead leaves from the winter, blawing the cats's pelt and whisker, promising warmth. and floods for us she thought why does something so wonderful always have to bring something so bad? She turned back to Oakstar "So, what is new with your clan, anything happening?"
please make your post longer, as you can see in the square thing at the top of the home page I have asked that all gathering posts be at least three lines long, thankyou

((Sorry I didn't read it.))
"Yes, the beaver's dam was falling apart. If it breaks we may not be able to come to the gathering. " She said with a sigh. "Well, we have a new apprentice, but we haven't had a mentorship ceremony yet. And the Icepond melted." she whispered. "Completely, and utterly." she said. "I don't even want to think about what might have happened to the ice caves." she said with a groan. "And think about MarshClan, I mean thats were all the riverwater is ending up. Major flooding."she was starting to depress her self, "So, anything new with your clan?" she asked on a happier note.

"Not much" she replied, "but the snow on top of the mountains are melting causing major flooding near the camp, it hasnt been close enough for anyone to get hurt but I fear that it will in a short time. My only hope is to keep the cats dry so they wont get a cough, that is the least we need right now" not afraid to showa small weakness to Oakstar, Oakstar was her friend and would never attack her clan she wouldnt would she Willowstar thought Well just in case I wont say anything any more about that she reminded herself.

"I imagine thats where all the water is partly coming from, I mean the mountain waterfall feeds into the river." she said, thoughtfully. She thought for a moment, then drew closer the Willowstar, "Have you talked to your medicince cat about any of this?" she whispered. "I may be a sign from StarClan." She didn't speak her fear of the Icepond melting as a sign, The ICE pond melting, could that mean that ICEclan, is in danger?she thought , I really need to talk to Emberflame.

Icedawn listened to the leaders talk. This is worse than I thought. suddenly she saw Oakstar draw closer to Willowstar. Her voice was low, which must mean she didn't want anyone else to hear. What could they be talking about? What is Oakstar telling her? Icedawn looked up at the moon. It was nearly visible beyond the treeline. "Sorry to interrupt but we should be going. We don't want to be late." Oh, I hope that wasn't out of line! she thought.

Willowstar turned to look at Icedawn "Oh, yes, thanks for reminding us" nodding her head with thanks she turned quickly and bounded up to where they would announce clan news. After Oakstar came up behind her she sat down to wait for the other leaders to bring their clans. She gazed around at the assembled cats and they quieted under her gaze and seperated into the clan groups. She stepped up and said "For the moment the other clans havent made it here yet, probably due to flooding so we shall wait a little while longer before starting the gathering, you may go back to what ever you were doing" She turned around and padded back up beside Oakstar.
((where they say the announcements, is it a tree or a rock??))

((I guess it's a rock if it's fourtrees.))
Oakstar nodded and turned her gaze from the cats, to Willowstar, "I expect it would be hard for Marshclan, but I see no reason SunClan is late." she said grumpily. SunClan has been very secretive lately. she thought I wonder what there up to. She shook her head, there was no reason to go accusing a clan.
((Sorry for the short post, writer's block.))

Icedawn fidgeted with the ground. Where are SunClan and MarshClan? Did something happen? She knew what she was thinking was paranoid but... She looked up at the moon again anxiously. The moon was almost over the tree line. I hope they're alright. The stale scent of mouse drifted toward her. Oh, it smelled so good, but she didn't follow it. At least it keeps my mind off of the Meeting until MarshClan and SunClan get here.

Willowstar gazed around the clearing expectantly, Marsh clan and Sunclan have never missed a gathering before she thought, her tail twitching at the slightest noise that might signal the arrival of the late clans. After a few more moments of waiting she decided that it was time to start the announcments, maybe they will come in the middle she thought as she stepped up to the edge of the rock. She yowled loudly to get everyones attention. "Hello" she said quietly "Sunclan and Marsh Clan havent made it to the gathering, possibly because of flooding, though they are not here we still must continue the gathering before the star clan becomes unhappy with us." She pawed at the ground for a moment then started again "FogClan is doing fine, but there are many floods in the surrounding areas near our camp, it is very difficult to get to at the moment ha she thought lets she them try to attack a camp surrounded in water "We have not been plagued by a cough yet and we have a stash of prey left untill the flooding goes down" she looked around at the cats one more time before retiring down the rock onto a patch of grass, waiting to hear Oakstar's announcements.

Oakstar didn't like the idea of starting the gathering without two of the four clans, but she went ahead with the annoucments anyway. She padded up to the front, "IceClan has a new Apprentice, Cinderpaw." she said. "The heat has also melted the Icepond, and I think the Icecaves are effected as well. The Ice pond is also exceeding it's banks. The river is flodded and making the ponds over flow. We had some difficultcy crossing the dam to get here, but we haven't had any major problems." Yet.... she thought gravely. Nothing good could come from this flood. She sat back with Willowstar. And whispered to her, "What do we do now? Do we wait here all night for them to come?"

"Well replied Willowstar I guess we can wait a little bit longer and if they dont come in a minute or two we will leave I cant believe that they couldnt make it here, it feels so wrong to only have two clans, they really need to come "maybe we could send a patrol to find them, they might need help" Willowstar implied, she hoped they would show up any minute.
