Day One

Barkfoot looked at his sister. "Still asleep." He murmured about his sister, Stonefall. He was easily bored.
Stonefall blinked and got up. She looked at her brother. "Why are you staring?" She asked. Barkfoot sighed. "It took you moons go get up!" He chuckled. "Come on, let's get ready for the gathering tonight."
"Wait, what time of day is it?" Stonefall perked her ears.
"Almost moonrise. They are already headed out for the gathering." Barkfoot told his sister.
"Oh no!" She began to groom. After a few seconds she began to follow Barkfoot out the camp. Her fur felt the brambles and thorns getting stuck onto her gray and dark gray pelt.
Now, they just had to find a way to go around Windclan's group.
A few minutes later, they found themselves at the gathering. All the cats in Thunderclan and RiverClan sat down. They were waiting for Shadowclan and Windclan to arrive. The cats just waited and talked.
"Hey, Barkfoot, how's Thunderclan going?" He heard a voice behind him. It was a Windclan cat. Twigfeather.
"Oh, you're here! We're fine. How about you?" He smiled. Twigfeather was his only friend in WindClan, really. Twigfeather looked at him. "Just wait, the gathering is about to start!"
Hailstar climbed upon the tree first. He scanned the clans and then began to talk. "Windclan is all good, we have enough prey to feed all of our clanmates, and our queen, Greengaze had kits recently. Their names are Moorkit, Dashkit, and Turtlekit. But one more thing..." The leader paused.
"Windclan patrols have scented Thunderclan warriors on our territory, along with some Shadowclan." He looked at the clans again. "Well, Hurricanestar, Cloudstar, can you explain?"
Cloudstar looked at the leader. "We live a clan away from you, Thunderclan or Riverclan would have scented us."
"I didn't smell any Shadowclan near our borders lately," Hurricanestar admitted.
"Me either," said Rainstar.
"Hm, well then we must have been wrong," Hailstar looked at the Thunderclan leader.
"Well, what do you say? We have also scented you on our territory."
Hurricanestar got up. "I will tell you when it is my turn, which is right after you." He climbed up the tree as the other cat climbed down. Barkfoot turned his head to look at Stonefall, who was looking up to the leader.
"Well, we have enough prey as well. No kits yet, but we have named two more apprentices. Palepaw and Brightpaw."
The clans chanted the names.
"We also have Silvertail, who is expecting kits."
Hurricanestar gave a second for the clans to congratulate her for a minute, then continued.
"We have scented Windclan on our territory as well."
He stopped. "It was I!" A voice yelled. It was Palewhisker. "I was collecting some herbs."
"There were more than one cat, I remember," Hurricanestar told her.
He jumped off the tree and the Riverclan leader, Rainstar climbed up. He scanned that clans.
"Well, we're low on prey, but we stand strong. We got one new apprentice, Swimmingpaw. He did not come here tonight." The cats chanted the name, and he continued.
"We didn't smell any warriors on our territory. Go ahead, Cloudstar." The cat climbed down and Cloudstar came back up.
"Well, we have more than enough prey to feed our clan. We haven't gotten any new apprentices or kits, but we have a new warrior. Shadespot!" The clans chanted the warrior's name. "We have not scented any warriors on our territory. "
"Hm, gathering is finished." Cloudstar stepped off and Hailstar hissed at Hurricanestar.
Hurricanestar ignored.
Barkfoot followed the leader through Windclan's border. He scented herbs and lots of animals running around. He also scented the cats.
He looked back at Stonefall. She was gazing up at the sky, but continued walking. She liked Windclan territory because of the sky, the trees aren't blocking everything out.
Soon they reached their territory.
"Well, do whatever you gotta do to get to the camp, Thunderclan. I'm going to get something to eat," Hurricane informed them as he walked away.
Barkfoot watched the leader.
"Come on Barkfoot, we should get some rest," Stonefall suddenly said and began to walk towards the camp through the trees. Barkfoot followed silently. He had bad feelings about Hailstar. As soon as they reached the camp, they both grabbed a vole, walked into their den, and began to eat.
"Hailstar's trying to find a reason to fight us," Barkfoot growled at once.
"We can get past them, Bark. Nothing you had never gotten through," Stonefall smiled.
They continued to eat. A few more warriors came in.
"I'm gonna rest. We have a big day tomorrow."
Barkfoot slowly dropped to the ground and yawned.
Just seconds later, he was asleep...
He woke up to the sound of whispering. He got up and ran out the camp. He smelled someone from Windclan.
"Show yourselves!" He tries to tell as quiet as he could so the clan could not hear him.
A brown figure jumped out.
"Adderpaw?" Barkfoot stepped forward.
Adderpaw's ears shot up.
"Oh... uh, I was chasing a rabbit!"
"Get out!"
The apprentice ran away.
Barkfoot followed him, quiet as he possibly could.
He soon found himself at the camp. His eyes turned to the nursery.
"Heheh..." he grinned and stalked in. A queen was asleep, along with her two kits.
Barkfoot lunged at the queen, and dragged his claws down her stomach.
"This is how Adderpaw's going to pay for trespassing!" Barkfoot whispered.
He stopped for a minute, then came back and bit her neck.
His eyes narrowed and he ran after hearing a cat screech after it heard the kits meowing loudly.
He ran across the moor until he found the forest.
"Hm, I almost got caught."
He painted and sat down.
"They wouldn't dare come back here... after what I did to her... Heh, she didn't know that she could have at least tried to fight back. PATHETIC!" He laughed.
He found himself at the camp with Stonefall staring at him. "You..."


Oh no! Stonefall just figured out he murdered someone. Great.
