Luckily Bramblepaw wasn't badly hurt, just a few bloody scratches on his flank from Icegaze. He just managed to recover enough to go the gathering tonight. Meadowstar was already waiting all the chosen cats under the highbranch. She decided to take Braveclaw, Thunderheart, Heartpaw, Woodpaw, Shrewpaw, Littlepaw, Stonelight, Violetpool, Oakpelt and Sunear. Meadowstar then leaped down from the highbranch after everybody formed into one huge group and flicked her tail as a sign for them to follow. Every cat ran after her pelting through the jungle as vastly as they could. They had to trespass on FrostClan's territory just to get to Fourtrees, they practically glided over streams and confidently marched into the clearing with the Great Oak in the middle. FrostClan and SeaClan were already there but there was no sign of MoonClan yet. Small little fireflies  were fluttering about above the Clans. All of the cats started sitting down and chatting amongst themselves whilst they were waiting for MoonClan. A frail-looking apprentice from SeaClan approached Bramblepaw and settled down beside him. "Hi there," meowed the she-cat happily. "Hello," greeted Bramblepaw in return with a soft-spoken mew. "I'm Squirrelpaw," meowed the she-cat with energy. Bramblepaw noticed her bushy tail. No wonder  they named her Squirrelpaw. "I am Bramblepaw. How is everything in your Clan?," mewed Bramblepaw to the frail apprentice. "Everything is great! Except for how there are a lot of sea adders and stonefish this green-leaf," replied the she-cat with excitement. He let out a mrrow of laughter but immediately stopped when MoonClan finally arrived. All of the Clan leaders then gather up onto the outstretched branches of the great oak. Each Clan looked up expectantly at the leader awaiting their news. Quietstar from FrostClan decided to speak first. "Ever since Green-leaf coming way earlier expected these past few moons our herb supplies are over-flowing. Other than that there is no important news to report that I'm aware of," meowed Quietstar then looking over at Ravenstar so that she could speak next. "The rogue that we took in a few moons ago that has settled in to the elder's den ventured out more into the sea than allowed and was bitten by a sea adder, she is in the paws of StarClan now," SeaClan sent small meows of grief across the clearing. When everyone fell silent again, Ravenstar looked to Meadowstar beside her. "We have recently celebrated the addition of three new apprentices this moon; Bramblepaw, Littlepaw and Shrewpaw. And I would also like to keep everyone informed on the attack from MoonClan,"  shocked and startled meows rippled through the other Clans about Meadowstar's report. "There is nothing new to report other than to remind LeopardClan that the territory is ours," came out the snarling voice of Russetstar her pelt completely fluffed out. "Only over my own dead body," spat Oakpelt menacingly at Russetstar, but the tabby she-cat either chose to ignore his remark or didn't hear it. "Actually that territory you claim is yours is rightfully ours, and it is not for you to steal it Russetstar," replied Meadowstar steadily although Bramblepaw noticed her pelt slightly shaking as if she was growing more agitated. "Alright fine, but watch yourself, because you can trust that this will not be our last argument Meadowstar," growled Russetstar. "That's awfully weird of her to give up territory so easily," whispered Bramblepaw to Squirrelpaw's soft ear.  She nodded in response inquisitively  and then flicked her tail from side-to-side saying farewell as she was departing with her Clan. Bramblepaw then shortly stood up and followed LeopardClan out; the fireflies hardly visible now as they were pacing towards their camp.
