The Battle Calls

<sup>Sorrelpaw stalked in circles, her tail lashing in impatience and rage. Why didn't I get to go to the gathering, but Crimsonclaw could? This is so unfair! The tortoiseshell apprentice thought angrily. She was wide-awake and hyped up about going to the Gathering, but she was left disappointed when she wasn't announced to go.

But of course the all mighty Crimsonclaw could. Of course. He always gets to go. But it seems that she was too troublesome to come along too. And here she was, unable to go to sleep and daydreaming about actually going to the Gathering. Sorrelpaw clawed the ground in frustration with a growl slipping through her throat.

Her furious pace stopped for a moment, her ears perking up. Excitement suddenly rose in her chest like a rising flame and her green eyes brightened. Was that...battle cries? Yowling? Hissing? It can't be...what happened? Is there actually a battle going on in the distance? In a Gathering? This is insane!

At first the she-cat thought she was imagining things, as stubborn as she was. But the battle was just raging on, getting louder and louder, echoing in her ears as if begging her to come. It was irresistible. And she could finally be useful for once. So why not give it a chance?

"Hey! Hey!" Sorrelpaw yowled, hopping up and down. "Get your lazy butts up! Do you here that? Yeah! A battle! At a freaking gathering! Do you want our Clan to die at it or are we gonna get up and fight? Because I sure am!"</sup>

Snowfeather leapt up onto the Great Rock.
"Warriors to me!" She yowled.
"Our clan is in danger, and though we have not been allowed to join the battle, let us move forth and attack. It is our duty as warriors to protect our clans. We need all cats, even queens if your kits are older than four moons. This is our time. We will save the clan from whatever is happening."
She waited for the sleep cats to assemble.
"Firestep, you are with me. We will lead the charge together."

(I need something to happen that will make Wolfshade make her deputy when this is all over, this seemed the logical thing. Assembling the clan for battle and running over there to help)

<sup>ooc: I only got Wavekit xD BTW since Sorrelpaw was the one who detected it she also gets to become a warrior :3

Wavekit perked her ears, a battle? At the ga-gathering? Narrowing her eyes she prodded Ravenkit with a paw,
"Hey! Your hear that?! There's a battle at the gathering!?" Turning to Snowkit she meowed, "Hey Snowk-" she stopped, wa-wait where's Snowkit? Eyes wide she swung her head side to side, "Snowkit?"

Nasty she-cat! Probably went to the gathering without us!Rolling her eyes she muttered to Ravenkit,
"Come on Snowkit already left for the Gathering so we have to go too!"</sup>

Snowflower sighed. She knew these kits were nearly old enough to be apprentices.
"Very well Wavekit, you are with me. It is time I took on an apprentice again." She grinned a little.
"You are old enough to be an apprentice. And we need all the help we can get. I am sure Snowstar will understand." She nodded to the kit. There was no time for formalities right now. It was time to assemble and go into battle.
