Hmmmm..... so much fighting before the actual battles begin. Although, Claaws' idea would make a rather interesting and dynamic plot, and might add a bit of depth to the story if we don't take the whole hatred thing too far. Let's maybe see how it works out...... If ya'll want to do it, that is. 

Cloudstorm~

Cloudstorm stared intently at the clear, rushing water that bubbled and chortled smoothly by the green banks of the Riverclan bank. A cool breeze ruffled his fur, and he silently thanked Starclan for the brief respit from the oppresive greenleaf heat.  (greenleaf is summer, right? It's been a while) A solatary fish swum lazily into the current, and his paw flashed out over the water, grabbing hold of the struggling fish in an arc of bright silver. He pulled it onto the ground and killed it with a quick bite to the neck, then dragged it over to rest beside the three other fish he had caught that day.

He glanced down at his prey, and had just decided to take it back to camp when a quiet purr cut through his thoughts. "Need help carrying that?". He glanced up to see Lilypaw trotting towards him, her deep blue eyes sparkling with amusement. She shot him a confused look. "Why are you out here all by yourself?" Cloudstorm blinked in surprise, than gestured towards the fish with his tail. "Sure, thanks." He grabbed two, leaving the other two for Lilypaw. She scooped them up and followed him. Around a mouthful of fish, she muttered "You didn't answer my question." Cloudstorm glanced over his shoulder. "I just wanted to be alone for a bit. Ripplestar insisted." They crossed into the camp, and Cloudstom gave a small snort of amusement. "Besides, when you're as ancient as I am, you need time to think." Lilypaw dropped her fish on the fresh kill pile and nudged him playfully in the shoulder. "Oh come on. My warrior ceremony is tomorrow, and I'm not that much younger than you." Cloudstorm purred. "Then we can be ancient at the same time, you and I." Lilypaw gave a mrrrow of laughter. "Yeah. We can have Echopaw bring fresh kill to the elders den for us." Cloudstorm glanced at the fresh kill pile. "Speaking of elders, would you mind bringing Darkfang one of the fish we just caught? I have to go organize a border patrol." Lilypaw nodded. "All right. See you!" With a twitch of her tail she ran off to the fresh kill pile, and Cloudstorm trotted off to organize the evening patrol. (Or whatever you call it.... dang it, I forgot. Sorry guys. Oh, one more quick question. Where does Riverclan gather? Like, what do they have instead of a highrock? Thanks!)

Alright. That's it. I'm out. Sorry for trying to suggest ideas when no one else would. Again, SUGGESTIONS. If anyone else had a suggestion, I wouldn't tell them off! And I was kindly suggesting that you move clans because, again, 26 cats in Windclan, and people keep on telling me off for suggesting alternitives to switching cats from other clans. Oh, and I did ask people to make more Thunderclan cats, but no one did. 

~Wolfpaw

~Echopaw

Tried to save Wolfpaw. Drowned.

~Downyfeather

~Tigerfang

Tried to save kits from fox. All four of them and her died.

There. 

Dovepool~~

I woke up with a gasp, I was having a terrible dream. I frown as I try and remember it.

"Something about kits... why can't I remember? Starclan what are you trying to tell me?" I whispered to myself.  

I sigh and heave myself out of the comfortable bed, and walk across the clearing to the fresh-kill pile. There's just a rabbit and a vole that someone was lucky enuf to catch. I pick up the vole and head over to a quiet spot to sit.  Windleap came out and called to her apprentice Icepaw slipped out of the den. Windleap spoke quiety to her then they went off to join the dawn patrol. I went back into the medicine cat den after eating and sat down to sort some herbs.
