"Yes, this is the gathering place," Lynxpaw to Soulpaw. "Isn't it beautiful?"

"It is," Soulpaw said gleefully, tail twitching."Have you been to Gatherings before?"

"No, this is my first one."

Soulpaw smiled. "This is my first Gathering too."

((ZOMG He has Rabies!!!!!))

Sparrowpaw catiously went over to Wolf. "Wolf, It's me, Sparrowpaw, remember? You helped me join Stormclan." She backed away a little. "You don't look too good.."

(( No he doesn't. He just has a tiny bit of poison in his body that has a tracker device in it. LOL. The humans are testing again. *sighs and laughs* ))

Wolf flinched slightly, then he lay still, his eyes glaze. "Sparrowpaw..." he said, his voice toneless. He flinched and he sat up. He turned to his thigh and looked at it with his blind eyes. he sniffed around until he found the needle. Then, he yanked it out. His yowl echoed through the forest. He clenched his eyes and tears sprung to them.  He began licking the wound, even though each time, he trembled with pain. He spat out some of his blood. "There's tiny flecks f poison. And something else. A tracker?" he wondered out loud. he continued cleaning the wound.

Foxpaw kept her paw on her head to staunch the bleeding. head wounds really did bleed a lot. 

((Omg this was totally unexpected yet so good! And just wondering, but don't the cats call humans twolegs and how in the world would a cat know about a tracker? O.o Oh well! XDD And we should so totall have sombody here RP out the twolegs! Maybe not but oh well!))

Nightstar looked at Foxpaw sympathetically. "I can't leave right at the moment, why don't you go and find some cobwebs for yourself? But don't stray too far. I don't want any other cats ending up like Wolf." She turned back to Dogheart, seeing him go. She flicked her tail a good-bye, then faced Wolf again. She pawed at the needle Wolf had pulled out, examining it closely. She bent down and sniffed it. The smell wasn't too pleasent and her eyes were clouded with worry. "When did this happen?" She asked Wolf.

((Should we act like the peoples are coming because Wolf pulled the needle out?))

(( Wolf has been alive for longer than normal. He's learned some of the human speech, but is still patchy about it. the knows what a tracker is because an old fox told him long ago when he was still young The fox had been friendly until it had been given a tracker and set wild. It died on the road. ))

Wolf flinched. "A few hours ago. Many miles from here." he said slowly, carefully. He flinched again when he felt something pulse in his thigh. The tracker?

Foxpaw nodded and she went scavenging. It felt good to get away from Wolf and the other cats. Peaceful. She found some cobwebs and she placed them on her head. The flow of blood ceased to a tiny drip occasionally. She smiled and she lied down, closing her eyes. Suddenly she heard voices. Not cat voices, but two-leg voices. She froze, her fur blending slightly with the red and brown leaves. It wasn't enough. She felt the sharp pain stab her leg and she let out a silent yowl of pain. She ran back to her Nightshade, her leg throbbing. Everything went black and she skidded to a stop.

~

Wolf lifted his head when he felt Foxpaw's pain. He turned to Nightshade. "Foxpaw." he whispered. 

~

Foxpaw opened her eyes to a blinding whiteness. Then the white faded and the pain that racked through her body was too much. She let out a tiny and silent whimper. She felt like a kit again.  She tried to move her body, but she was paralyzed. She could see the needle in her leg and the blood oozing from the cut, but she couldn't reach it. The pain was too much. She sank into the dark abyss again.

Nighstar dashed into the forest, searching for Foxpaw. She could sense something was wrong as she tracked down her apprentice, frantically scanning the territory. After a bit, she found Foxpaw bleeding...with a tracker. She quickly padded foward only to hear footsteps behind her. She froze, hoping it would all just go away. It was right behind, as she tried to run away but only got two tail-lengths away before falling down and seeing nothing but blackness.

Nighstar woke up, opening her eyes and then closing them once more. Pain seathed through her as she couldn't feel her front right leg. Blood was spilled around her leg as she held back a yelp. Screaming in agony inside her head, She worked her way up and stood up, then opening her eyes. She almost fell down once more, but took her strength and stayed up.

Fishleap stared in horror as she watched Nightstar take off, not coming back. She also couldn't bare to see the poison seep out of Wolf's body. She held her breathe, staying in the bush. She was too scared to come out in case anything happened.

((I gotta go take a shower. Bbl!))

Wolf grabbed a heavy and thick branch. No cat could probably break it. He clamped down on it hard and nodded his head.

Foxpaw shivered and opened her eyes Nightshade looked different. Suddenly her form shifted and there stood Swiftstar. His eyes were a blaze with anger, but his face was full of concern and worry. "Foxpaw? I need you to wake up. I'm going to help you stay alive, but you must stay awake." he said urgently. he glanced behind his shoulder, staring into space as if someone was calling. With that, Swiftstar melted into Foxpaw. Foxpaw let out a loud yelp. Foxpaw jumped to her feet, careful to stay of her wounded leg and nodded her head. "Yes, Im fine. What about you Nightstar?" She said. her voice had gained a feral purr to it. it must have been because Swiftstar had entered her. She froze. She had talked! Because Swiftsar had entered her, he had not only eased the pain, but had cured her muteness! Or until he left he had. She smiled broadly at Nightshade. her fur seemed a little off it's usual color and her left eye was the same shade as Swiftstar's eyes while her right was the same color as before. Swiftstar and done the impossible and entered her body, becoming not only her by appearance, but by mind and soul.
