Feuds...Never Good for a Weakened Clan... [G/PG]

[Dark**Light]

-Before I start with this oober long post...I want to say that if you want to join and you haven't already, the bio area is in the fantasy bios...thanks for joining, if you plan to! The idea is that the clans are feuding but this is mainly about Thunderclan and Riverclan. Two cats from different clans become friends and then yeah…you get the point. Also, I don’t care how you start out, but to those who are starting out with kittypets…make sure they start out of the clan and are found by a warrior or another member of the clan. This post takes place in the old territories, Before all the forest was destroyed. And Harley…Featherpaw is a medicine cat. Her mentor died. She has still not received her warrior name…but soon. And Mintclaw is Riverpaw's mentor. They are out getting catmint for the mdicine cat.
BYEEE!!!-

~Thunderclan~

-Oakpaw and Sorrelpaw are about to go hunting...without their mentors.-

“Sorrelpaw! What are you doing?!” Oakpaw yowled. Sorrelpaw was sneaking out of the camp without her mentor, Birchtail.
“You are kidding…right?!” Sorrelpaw mewed. “You promised we would go hunting today.” Sorrelpaw continued.
“Yeah…I meant with our mentors!” Oakpaw replied.
“Ugh…Birchtail…I don’t like to hunt with him. He’s so loud and any time I am about to catch prey…he corrects me on something!” Sorrelpaw growled.
“Yeah…he’s supposed to do that. It’s his job.” Oakpaw retorted. Sorrelpaw muttered something that Oakpaw couldn’t understand…then she leaped out of the gorse tunnel and trotted off toward Sunningrocks.
“SORRELPAW!!!!” Oakpaw yowled. Oakpaw bounded after Sorrelpaw in a desperate attempt to catch up to her sister.
Oakpaw raced after her sister and then skidded to a stop beside her.
“Well…you got me out here…may as well bring the clan something back.” Oakpaw said. She was not happy. Her sister was the one that got in trouble…not her…but she was already outside and it felt good to be able to hunt without the critique of her mentor.
“You ready to hunt?” Sorrelpaw asked. Oakpaw nodded and stared into the glistening water at Sunningrocks. Sorrelpaw turned and padded toward Riverclan territory.
“Sorrelpaw! No!” Oakpaw hissed. Sorrelpaw ignored her and called for a Riverclan warrior.
“Moonpaw…Moonpaw!” Sorrelpaw whispered. There was a small rustle and a strange warrior appeared in the other side of the river.
“Riverpaw?” Sorrelpaw asked.
“Oh dear…what’s he gonna do? I mean…2 apprentices hunting without a mentor…Oh dear…We are in trouble.” Oakpaw hissed to Sorrelpaw.
“Oh she won’t do a thing…after all; he is out here alone, without his mentor.” Sorrelpaw hissed back. Oakpaw walked closer to the shoreline and bowed her head to the cat.
“Very sorry to be bothering you…we were only hunting…I don’t know what Sorrelpaw was thinking…coming over here. I guess she just wanted to see Moonpaw or something.” Oakpaw said, hastily.
“Yeah…Moonpaw is our sister…” Sorrelpaw said.
“Uh…Sorrelpaw…Moonpaw is in Shadowclan…” Oakpaw hissed to her.
“Oh…” Sorrelpaw said.
Oakpaw hissed at Sorrelpaw and then tugged her away from the border.
“What were you thinking?! Don’t you remember?! Riverpaw’s mentor was killed in the dog attack! Around the same time Bluestar was killed.” Oakpaw snarled. Sorrelpaw backed off and they both headed back toward Thunderclan camp. They had picked up a few pieces of prey on the way back.

~Riverclan~

“Mintclaw!” I can’t find the catmint!” Riverpaw hissed. Riverpaw looked through multiple kittypet bushes…then he realized that Featherpaw was gone.
“Mintclaw? Mintclaw?!” Riverpaw hissed. “This isn’t funny!” Riverpaw continued. Riverpaw searched through another garden and found what he was looking for. An awful hiss made him stop picking Catmint.
“Mintclaw…You aren’t going to scare me…I am like the ultimate un-scare-able cat.” Riverpaw said. He turned around and found himself face to face with an angry looking Black and white cat.
“What do you think you are doing in my garden?!” The cat hissed.
“Your garden?!” Riverpaw growled. He towered over the cat and realized the cat he was challenging was just old enough to become an apprentice.
“What’s your name?! Stripes?” The kittypet joked.
“No. It’s Riverpaw.” Riverpaw hissed.
The kittypet stopped. He was about to make an awful retort when he remembered his father telling him about an encounter with a cat named Moonpaw. He said the cat was stronger and knew how to fight better than any cat he had seen. He said that the cat had used skills he had never seen before. And he said that cats like this were WARRIORS.
“Riverpaw?” The kittypet asked. He had regretted everything he had just said. He was picking on a cat that could easily kill him faster than he could catch one of those kittypet toys.
“That’s right. My name is Riverpaw.” Riverpaw hissed.
“And your name is?” Riverpaw continued.
“Snowy…I love to swim…you look like a clan cat. My father encountered one. He learned all about the clans after that. I really want to be a part of Riverclan…” Snowy said.
“I am from Riverclan. My apprentice name is Riverpaw. I am training to be a warrior.” Riverpaw said.
“I wish to know more about this clan life…but I am stuck living in this house.” Snowy said.
“House? This is a twoleg nest…” Riverpaw said.
“Oh…right…you refer to humans as ‘twolegs’.” Snowy said. “Actually…may I join your clan?” Snowy asked.
“You would have to talk to our leader about it…Do you have any siblings who would like to join the clan?” Riverpaw asked.
“Well…my sister…but I’m not sure about it…” Snowy said.
“Go call her…we can go to the clan together…” Riverpaw said.
“And you are free to use our Catnip…erm…I mean Catmint.” Snowy said.
“Thank you…” River paw said. Riverpaw went back to his small pile of Catmint and continued to pick the catmint.
“PIXIE!!! PIXIE!!! COME HERE!!! I HAVE TO TELL YOU SOMETHING!!!” Snowy yowled as he ran back into the twoleg nest. Riverpaw laughed a bit and then continued to pick the catmint.

[Cheradongirl95]

Pixie had finally managed to find a way out of her humans arms,just when she heard snowy call."What is it now?"she quietly moaned and raced out into the garden."What is-:"Sees Riverpaw.Fur fluffs up to twice her size."Whos that?"Her eyes flashed in alarm and she unsheathed her claws.He's cute-but i shopuldnt let my guard down.

[Dark**Light]

(I accidentally put Featherpaw instead of Mintclaw)
~Snowy~
I ran up to Pixie and almost rammed into her.
"Sorry-anyways, that cat out there is Riverpaw!" I said. I figured Pixie wouldn't remember the tales that our father told us. The tales about his encounters with a clan cat apprentice. I think it's name was Moonpaw or something....anyways, I smiled and said
"Remember the stories about Moonpaw and our father fighting her. And how we both wanted to be in Riverclan? Well Riverpaw is from Riverclan!" I looked back out to Riverpaw and said
"I'm gonna take you to meet him now. He's actually really cool. He's a medicine cat!" I raced outside and said
"This is my sister, Pixie." Riverpaw smiled and nodded through a mouthful of catmint. Riverpaw gently placed the catmint down and said
"Hello...pleasure to meet you. Snowy has told me about how you kits want to be a part of our clan. You are old enough to become apprentices and start to learn the warrior code. You might train with me for a bit...or at least until we can find you both a mentor." Riverpaw touched his nose to Pixie's pelt and then did the same for Snowy.
"So what do ya say? Would you like to join the clan?" Riverpaw asked.
"YES!!!" I mewed.
"Well...then would you mind helping me carry some herbs back to the Riverclan camp?" Riverpaw said. He paused and looked at Pixie. "What about you? Would you like to join the clan?" He smiled slightly and then occupied himself with pointing out herbs to me. I then looked back to Pixie.
"Are you gonna join the clan with me?" I said. Riverpaw seemed to be very happy if Pixie joined. It's like he was in love with her...and he hadn't even met her that much...it was like love at first sight...

[Cheradongirl95]

Pixie dipped her head,"I would love too!"She picked up some catmint for Rierpaw and turned to her sister.Her eyes flicker with excitement.She waits for Riverpaw quietly wondering what Riverclan's camp looks like.Her mind also drifts back to the stories their father told.It seemed so exciting!Hunting birds that made so much annoying chatter,getting to race alongside other cats who would give their lives for her and vice versa,it was to wonderful to put into words.Suddenly she snapped back to reality.

[Dark**Light]

Riverpaw smiled and then he said
"Well then, shall we head off?" I bounced up and down with excitement. Then I grabbed a mouthful of Catmint and followed Riverpaw as he trotted toward the forest.
"Hey, any Thunderclan cats aroun here?" Riverpaw hissed. Two apprentices appeared.
"Oh good. It's just you two. Sorrelpaw, would you and your sister Oakpaw mind escourting me and a few new apprentices back to camp?" The two cats nodded and then stood infront and behind us.I smileed as we got closer and closer to the camp of Riuverclan. We approached a river and the two clan cats stopped and stood to one side of us. Riverpaw leaped into the river and began to swim. I looked back at Pixie and then shrugged. I leaped into the river after Riverpaw. My paws powered through the water until Riverpaw and I reached the other side.
"C'mon Pixie! It's fun!" I mewed. Riverpaw told me to take the herbs back to the camp.
"You'll know its the camp from the scent. Just tellthem why you are here and the clan leader should welcome you andgive you your apprentice name. I smiled and bounded off. I stopped to see Riverpaw leap back into the river and head toward Pixie. I headed toward the strong scent of cats. I carefully padded into the camp and all the cats stopped and stared at me.
"Whatr's that kittypet doing here?" Many cats hissed. The clan leader silenced the clan and I told him why I was here. The clan leader smiled and called for the clan to gather. The clan leader went through the ceremony to make me an apprentice and just before I was given my name, Riverpaw burst through the camp entrance. He sat at the back and I smiled when he gave me a signal the Pixie was on her waay. or at least when he left her she was walking. Anyways, I was given my apprentice name... Yarrowpaw

[Cheradongirl95]

(switching to first person if i already wasnt)I bounded across a few stepping stones.I was too small to swim through the deep parts like my sister,but i leaped into the water once it was shallower.I waded out of the river,but my fur felt very heavy.I padded into camp and watched in amazement.I got there just in time to see my sister be renamed yarrowpaw.yarrow paw?that is a strange name.I wonder if mine will be different too!Pixiepaw didnt seem like a logical name for a riverclan apprentice.I flicked my tail and sat down next to Riverpaw.
"So um Riverpaw?Are you a normal apprentice?"Of course he is a normal apprentice you idiot"Um i mean are you training to be a warrior or the other thing-"Whats it called?!?!"medicine cat!"I almost didnt hear the leader beckon me forward.Before Riverpaw could answer i was at the front of the clan.My paws trembled,and suddenly i felt as if everyone was judging me for who i was.Thats not how i wanted it to be!I wanted to be judged for what i had done,not from where i came from!I almost hissed but held myself back."I do"I mewed as calmly as i could.Anyways i got my new name and i found it wonderfully interesting and mysterious....Silverpaw

[Dark**Light]

(yarrowpaw is a dude....just FYI)
I watched as Pixie recieved her apprentice name.
"This is so cool!!!!" I mewed to Riverpaw.
"I'm training to be a warrior... just help out the medicine cat unti l he gets a new apprentice. His other one accidentaly went into...well....unfriendly teritory and got himself killed." Riverpaw mewed back to Silverpaw.
"Wow....what happened..." I asked, stupidly.
"Umm...well I really dont like to talk about it. He and I were friends and he just one day disappeared. We recieved word one day from a member of the other clan that they were holding him hostage. His name was...well....Yarrowpaw. He was going to recieve his warrior name that day but instead he went out and got himself killed." Riverpaw hissed.
"Oh...well...you and I could be friends. You, Pixie...I mean Silverpaw and I could all be friends. It might help fill that empty feeling you have..." I mewed slightly.
"Yeah...I guess....at least we'll all get to spend the night in the same den. So it might help. I sleep off in the far right corner. I have slept there since Yarrowpaw died. So yeah....anyways, let's go congradulate Silverpaw on her new name." Riverpaw said.
I raced up to Silverpaw and was quivering with joy.
"This is amazing!!" I mewed.
"Yeah guys...let me show you around. I can show you the nursery, the apprentice den, the warrior den, the high rock, and the apprentice hollow...or the training hollow. My mentor will have to show us the rest of the teritory." Riverpaw said.
"So Silverpaw...do you wanna come with me and Riverpaw to tour the camp? Then we can ask his mentor to take us around the teritory..." I asked Silverpaw.

[Cheradongirl95]

"Of course you Mouse-brain"I had to think back to the words thy called eachother when they were joking.i just hope Yarrowpaw knows im joking!Lets gaze drift around the camp.So many cats!How will i remember all their names?"Lets be off then!"I mew cautiously.(sorry its so short!Theres just not much i can say since you are showing me around)

[Dark**Light]

~Riverpelt~
I smiled and nodded. I padded around the camp and then stopped at the warrior den.
"This is the warrior den. This is where the warriors sleep. When an apprentice shows true loyalty to his clan and shows bravery. Then he is given his warrior name, showing he has learned all he needs to know about being loyal to their clan." I said. I walked over to the apprentice den and then stopped.
"This is the apprentice den. This is where we are going to sleep until we become warriors. Apprentices are in training to become warriors. We are learning to fight for our clan and we always have to obey the warrior code. The warrior code is a ton of rules about being loyal to our clans." I said. I walked over to the high rock and then stopped by the den and the high rock.
"This is where the clan leader sleeps. She is a great leader. And up there is where the leader goes to make announcements. Like upgrading apprentices to warrior, kits to apprentices, and a warrior to the Deputy. And the Moonpool is where the deputys go to get their nine-lives. I mean...that's when a leader loses all nine lives and passes away." I meowed. Then I walked to the training hollow and said
"This is where the apprentices go to train in combat and hunting. All the apprentices are here for at least once a week, if not once a day. After their mentors think they are ready, they will be sent out on a hunting trip to evaluate how they are progressing in training." I said. I padded back to camp and litsened to Yarrowpaw whisper words of excitement to Silverpaw. I walked up to the nursery and then said
"This is where the Queens come and deliver and raise their kits. Queens are warriors that are getting ready to have kits or have had kits and are taking care of them." I padded up to Mintclaw and asked,
"Hey Mintclaw, can you take Silverpaw, Yarrowpaw, and I to see the rest of the teritory?"
"Riverpaw....Yarrowpaw died. Don't keep acting like he's alive. Move on." Mintclaw mewed.
"Actually..I'm Yarrowpaw." Yarrowpaw said.
"Oh...the new apprentices. I might be your mentor until we can get you each your own." Mintclaw said.
"So about the touring the rest of the teritory. I already showed them the camp. All they need to know are the boundaries and where everything is in our teritory." I said.
"Maybe tomorrow...we can show them the teritory during the training session. I think that we should rest up and get some food so that we can have a nice a full day tomorrow." Mintclaw said.
"Okay..." I turned and looked at Yarrowpaw and Silverpaw, "Let's go get some sleep in the apprentice den. We need to get you both aa moss nest." I said. I padded into the apprentice den and got some moss to make Silverpaw and Yarrowpaw a mos nest. I curled up in my nest and then said
"You can remake your bed any way you like so it can be more comfortable. It's like one of those kittypet beds but made out of a more natural material." I curled my tail over my nose and fell asleep.

[Cheradongirl95]

I listened to the tour quietly and when Riverpaw spread out moss in front of me i quickly started forming it to how my bed at thehuman house looked.I layed down but it didnt feel right.Nope!What does Riverpaw's look like?I studied over riverpaw's nest for a couple minutes and mimicked it.I quickly layed down and it felt much better."Are you excited for tomorrow?"I murmered to yarrowpaw.I yawned and awaited his answer as i dozed off.(i need another chara hold on ima get one and then ill have moreto write/type)

[Stormsong]

~Stardapple~

Stardapple arosed from her catnap and padded over to her clan mates. "Is comething wrong? Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked before she quickly turned her head and knawed on a pestering flea.

(Note: All the herbs that I will be using to heal that warriors are real. For example I will use lavender to help you sleep and if you use it in real life then it really can help you sleep.)

[Cheradongirl95]

(Are you in Riverclan?)Silverpaw woke with a sharp pain in her side.She slowly pulled herself to her paws and limped over to StarDapple."Excuse me ma'am?I've hurt my shoulder.I dont know whats wrong with it."she didnt know this cat's name but she knew she would learn it soon enough.She was aware of the clan slowly waking around her and her fur still looked a little scruffy.Not how she wanted her clanmates to see her like that.

[Stormsong]

Stardapple smiled down at the apprentice. "Sure sweetheart and you don't have to call me ma'am. My name is Stardapple. Come to my den little one and tell what happened to your shoulder," she spoke kindly to the young cat.

(I guess I am.)

[Dark**Light]

~Riverpaw~
I woke up early and noticed Stardapple was tending to Silverpaw.
"Silverpaw...are you okay?" I asked with a hint of panic in my voice. It couldn't have been a fight...maybe the siblings had fought...
"Sis! What happened?!" Yarrowpaw mewed. Also slightly panicking. Yarrowpaw and I sat down in sinc and then curled our tails over our paws.

[Dark**Light]

(btw charadon, you can have the chara you asked for in the starter post.)

[Cheradongirl95]

(thnx)Silverpaw murmered "Ok Stardapple."She spotted her brother and Riverpaw."Im fine,probably just layed on my shoulder the wrong way!"She mewed trying to ease their concern.
-Graystar-
Graystar got to her paws.Sorrelpaw and Oakpaw can go on patrol with their mentors once their up,if they arent alreadyShe recalled them acting quite suspicious last night.she shook that thought away.I trust they wont have left camp or done anything mouse-brainedThen again Sorrelpaw was a little reckless,not thinking of the the consequences.She stepped into the sunlight,her mint green eyes lighting up."It will be a wonderful day!"She leaped down from her den on high rock and padded over to the apprentice den."Sorrelpaw,Oak-Great!Now I have to find them" She hissed to herself.Should've known!This is what i get for trusting them!

[Stormsong]

Stardapple rummaged through her neatly stacked herbs. "Here," she said dropping a plant in front of Silverpaw. "Eat this Rosemary, it'll help with the pain. Maybe tonight you should change your bedding and see if that might help too." She gave the apprentice a playful smile.

[Cheradongirl95]

"Will do!"She took the rose mary and headed to the apprentice den.

[Stormsong]

Stardapple flicked her tail back and forth on the dirt floor of her den and purred.

[Cheradongirl95]

Silverpaw ate the rosemary and rearranged her bedding.Already she was feeling better!"Anyone up for swimming practice?"
She mewed happily keeping her eyes on the two toms,who were the only cats she knew very well in this clan.
-Graystar-
Graystar mewed quietly to her deputy,"I dont need any other warriors with me except BirchTail and (the other mentor ).Ill be fine,we are in our own territory,nothing will happen!"without waiting she turned around and beckoned the two mentors to follow her as she tracked the careless apprentices.

[Stormsong]

(What do I do now?)

[Cheradongirl95]

(talk to cats,collect herbs,check on queens and elders,that kinda thing or pretend some cat got injured and you have to take care of it)

[Stormsong]

(okay!)
Stardapple got to her paws and yawned. It was time to make her rounds. She padded out of the den and went to the elder's den. "How is everybody today?" she greeted cherrfully.
