⛆ FrogPaw was scared… She was really scared… The gathering was only last night and something really bad happened at this gathering… Picture this; You make a friend… A friend that couldn’t remember anything but who she and immediate family were… The only reason the toms memory got any better was because of dear FrogPaw… All that time with someone, you’re destined ti feel something towards them, right?

⛆ Well, FrogPaw only truly realized this as she was on her way to the gathering… 15 moons old and she had thought she finally felt something for someone… In ThunderClan, she never got much of that love and care growing up… That sweetness she was given throughout the younger years of apprenticeship had only made her heart larger… She had feelings for ScalePaw back then…

⛆ She had been so excited to see him that night, even fixing up her fur in hopes of making the awaited interaction as magical as she dreamed of it being… But even so, without being there a second, her dreams came crumbling down upon her, everything was ripped away… And now the place she oh-so wished to belong in might just be ripped away too… She wondered if another clan would take her in if she begged hard enough…

⛆ FrogPaw found a part of herself, however… She didn’t like fighting but she would want nothing more than to stand on the bodies of those WindClan cats that had wronged her. Poison… maybe…? Shaking the gruesome thought out of her head, she makes her way into BumbleStars den, ready to face the worst. “BumbleStar…?” Her voice cracked slightly as she padded in… Before the leader even had a chance to speak, she began…

⛆ “I wanted to talk about last night… I know I’m in trouble but let me just explain for a moment… Please…” As much as the apprentice hated eye contact, her green gaze rested in the mollie in charge… Gulping down her fears, she continued. “Back when I was younger, I was so desperate to find a way to unite the clans by becoming friends with as many cats I could… I believed that we were all equally great and wanted to find a way to show that…” Oh yay! A story similar to every kit story!

⛆ FrogPaw somehow, still manages to maintain eye contact, however you could see it made her heavily uncomfortable. “I met scale… scar, then ScalePaw at my first ever gathering… He was an outcast, scared because he couldn’t remember some of his own clanmates… I empathized, simply because some of my clanmates in this clan hadn’t even bothered to introduce themselves to me… So we became friends…” she realized the memory part seemed irrelevant, though it was actually the biggest part of the story. She decided to touch on that…

⛆ “I have great memory, I’m really really good at remembering faces, smells, names… Being alone for so long, you don’t really have much to think about… I taught ScalePaw how to remember things by teaching him strategies and techniques to use in situations when needed to remember… We spent so much time together… And I… I felt appreciated… Something I’ve never truly felt here…” even though she spoke with a bright voice, tears leaked from the corners of her eyes…

⛆ “CinderPaw knew… And she warned me, she warned me that the other clans were selfish and would use me. CinderPaw was right…” At about now, tears that she had been trying to hard to hold back had begun pouring out her green eyes. She cried for a solid minute before continuing again… “This whole situation taught me that there is no peace, there will never be. There will always be wars but ThunderClan must always come out on top.” Wiping her face in her own paws, she sat up more professionally. She didn’t want to speak so much but she let her heart speak instead.

⛆“I mean it this time, I’m all for ThunderClan… And regardless if fighting makes me uncomfortable, I will take down those that disrespect me and my clanmates. I’ve learned there will never be peace or harmony or any of that gross nonsense…! I swear BumbleStar, I’m in it for real this time…” She had some sort of fiery gaze that was fierce and unexpected from a cat like her… She was being serious… “The warrior code, Starclan and ThunderClan are all that matter now.”

Bumblestar had just been about to go find Frogpaw herself when, lo and behold, the apprentice stepped in. The cream and brown tabby sat up straight and fixed Frogpaw with a steely stare, not having forgotten the scene that had unfolded at the Gathering. Her explanation did not make her feel any better about this.

"Good to know you can at least recognize when you're in hot water," she said gruffly. "Just stop the damn crying, it's irritating."

The crying made Bumblestar want to swat her upside the head. Utterly ridiculous, how hard was it for someone to keep their composure?

"You're an apprentice. You should be focused on learning and providing for ThunderClan instead of galivantin' off with cats from other Clans. You said it taught you that there isn't any peace? You should've understood that already. What it should have taught you is that you are young, and inexperienced, and in no way equipped to be pursuing something like this, especially with someone of his rank, and especially with someone you should be considering an outsider. Stay there, I'm not done with you yet."

With a lash of her tail, she shouldered past Frogpaw and stuck her head through the curtain of lichen. "Alderstep!" she barked. "My den! Now!"
