I'll start:
Seedcloud's tail flicked as she waited for Beechfur to finish as,sighning the patrols for the day. What if he didn't want kits? What if he was too busy as deputy to get to know them? Her mind was was filled with questions that tugged at her like thorns. Finally the cats surrounding her mate filed out of the camp on their patrols. Seedcloud took a deep breath and trotted over to Beechfur. "Beechfur," she said. He turned his head and his eyes lit up, "Seedcloud! You missed the morning patrols!" he teased. "Yeah I know. But I need to tell you something. I...I'm, I'm expecting kits," she told him. He looked stunned for a moment, then his face lit up with happiness, "Thats great!"

Beechfur pranced around on the tips of his toes. 'Oh honey I'm glad that you're happy... I wasn't quite sure what you were going to think.' 'Why? I've been wanting kits forever.' 'Oh, good! Let's tell Dappleshade and Mosspool the great news!' Seedcloud and Beechfur pranced through the open fields, into Mosspool and Dappleshade's territory.
You go!! :D

Beechfur and Seedcloud pushed under the gorse bush that led to the warriors den. Beech fur rushed over to where Dappleshade and Mosspool dozed and prodded them both in the side. Sleepily they both raised their heads and yawned. "Beechfur? What is it? Are we on a patrol?" Mosspool asked. "Seedcloud's expecting kits!" Beechfur meowed excitedly. Immediately they both stood stood up. "Thats great! When will you be moving to the nursery?" Dappleshade asked. "Not for another half moon." Seedcloud replied. Beechfur turned his head to her. "Are you sure? What if you get hurt on a patrol? Or you get sick? Or-" Seedcloud laughed. "Beechfur relax, I'll be fine." she reasured him. "Do want to hunt a little?" Seedcloud asked. "I guess," said Beechfur. The two chatted and twined their tails as they headed out of the camp.
Yer turn!

The two cats dashed in perfect harmony. "I'm really craving Rabbit.' "Okay honey.' They pranced around a shrub and found a tiny bunny. 'It's not worth it... it's too small.' The two searched for hours on end, when the perfect bunny sprang out of a bush. "Catch it!' Yelled Seedcloud. They ran as fast as their legs would go; the rabbit scattered to a hault, gasping for air. It's breaths finally slowed to a stop. The two happily munched on their dinner.
Yuuurrr turn! :D

The two caught another rabbit and brought it back for the fresh-prey pile. Sagestar noticed that Seedcloud looked slightly plump, she trotted over to the couple. "Seedcloud, will we have kits in our nursery soon?" she asked. "I believe so, I'll be moving to the nursery in a half-moon," she replied proudly. Beechfur rubbed his head against her cheek. "You should rest after a hunt like that," he mewed. Seedcloud sighed and reluctantly followed him to the warriors den.
Yer turn :D

Seedcloud curled up into a ball, being wary of her stomach. Beechfur snuggled up next to her, and drifted into a deep slumber.
Suncloud outstreched her body, her claws ripping the earth beneath her. Beechfur padded over to her, linking tails. "Morning dear'. 'Good morning sweetheart!' Yur turn :)
07 Apr, 2013, 1:54 am
Seedcloud followed Beechfur to the camp clearing where the warriors and apprentices were waiting. "Okay, Dappleshade, Mosspool, and Breezefleck will go out for the morning hunting patrol. Me, Seedcloud,and Heatherpaw will do the morning border patrol. Mothdust, Redwing, and Cloudpaw will do the evening hunting patrol. And Featherjay, Sunscar, Sandwhisker will do the evening border patrol." He reported. Heatherpaw, a ginger she-cat with blue eyes, pranced over to them. "Ready?" Seedcloud asked. "Ready." said the other two. And they headed out of the camp.
07 Apr, 2013, 2:03 am
Heatherpaw and Seedcloud raced to the border, pacing back and forth; briskly spinning on there paws at each turn. Abruptly, a small, sleek, RiverClan cat stalked over to the border. The familiar scent of stale fish wafted over to Heather & Seed, making them retch in disgust. The small cat continued forth, and finally stopped. 'What do you want, Fish-face?' 'I go by the name of Pebblestream!' 'What is it?'
07 Apr, 2013, 2:05 am
Heather shot daggers at Pebblestream. 'One more step, and you're minced meat.' Heather dared. 'Wait Heather! Let her talk'.
07 Apr, 2013, 2:24 am
"Do you teach all of your apprentices to have a sour tongue?" Pebblestream sneered. "Explain yourself or we'll make Heatherpaw's threat a reality," Beechfur snarled. "RiverClan is taking the marsh back," he declared. The three WindClan cats fluffed up their fur and unsheathed their claws. "Well tell Newtstar that WindClan doesn't give up easy. But why would he send just one warrior to tell us?" Seedcloud snarled. Heatherpaw hissed beside her. "He sent only one warrior because everyone knows WindClan cats are soft," Pebblestream responded smugly. Suddenly a lightning fast paw slashed Pebblestream across the muzzle. Pebblestream yowled and began rubbing his nose. "That'll show you soft, fish-face," Beechfur growled. Pebblestream hissed and dashed for his own territory. Beechfur turned to the two she-cats. "Are either of you hurt?" he asked. "No, we're fine," said Heatherpaw, her voice filled with excitement, "That was my first border skirmish!" "And it won't be your last. Those fish-furs are surprisingly persistant," Seedcloud meowed with contempt.

'We we need to tell Sagestar! This is mutiny!' Beechfur spat. 'Wait... something doesn't seem right... the feeling in the air is... off...' Seedcloud panted. Abruptly, Sage & the gang scattered into the area. 'Hey! Are y'all all right? News spread like wildfire!' 'Sagestar! A riverclan cat by the name of...um... I forgot... but he was black with piercing yellow eyes. He said riverclan was taking back 'their' area!' Seedcloud yelped. 'All right. I need 3 patrols constantly guarding the borders. ALL BORDERS. "I'll do it!" Cloudfeather chanted. 'I'll second that,' Moss said. 'Count me in!' Jadewing yelled. 'All right. Now, here's the plan. If they even DARE try to cross the border, rip them into shreds! I want blood-curdeling, gruesome, tactful fighting technique.' Sage commanded. Yur turn! :3

"But Sagestar," Cloudpaw called. "The Warrior Code says that we do not need to shed blood for victory," Sagestar sniffed, "I didn't say that, RiverClan just needs to know that we will not accept this disrespect. And if that message must be delivered through pain then it shall be," she stated, but then her gaze softened, "But you are right Cloudpaw, I think its time you and your sister became warriors," Cloudpaw and Heatherpaw looked at each other excitedly. "These apprentices have trained with us for six moons and are ready to serve their clan as warriors, I name you Heathersong and Cloudfeather," Sagestar said. The cats that were gathered chanted their names and their parents, Sandwhisker and Redwing, looked at them proudly. "Tonight they will sit vigil for the clan," Sagestar continued, and they returned to camp.

As they passed through the gorse bushes that led to the camp cats gathered and pelted them with questions. "Whats going on? What happened?" asked Fawnfoot. "RiverClan wants to take back the marsh," said Jadewing. Mothdust hissed in disgust, "How dare they?!" Sunscar inched towards the nursery, clearly worried about his mate Gingerbee; who was only a moon from kitting. "All we can do right now is practice our battle moves and hope for a sign from StarClan. And we shall be protected tonight because we have two new warriors amongst us," Sagestar promised. Beechfur gave Seedcloud a worried look. "Don't worry, I'll be fine," Seedcloud reassured.
12 Apr, 2013, 2:35 am
'Okay sweetie. I just want you to be safe is all. You know Riverclan and their ways.' 'I know hon. I will be fine. We have to just believe that Starclan will show us the way into our hearts. There, we will know what to do.' Seedcloud and Beechfur wrapped tails and tickled noses. Then the two padded over to Sunscar. 'Hey man. So... how's Gingerbee?' Sunscar's eyes sunk into a sad expression. 'Well, she's doing fine, but I'm really worried about her. I mean, being so close to kitting, and Riverclan and all. 'I hear ya man.' Beechfur smacked Sunscar's back. 'Man up. It'll be fine, I promise.' Dappleshade and Mosspool trotted over. 'Hai! What happened?' 'Well, riverclan is going to try and override our territory. Those fish-brained, wimpy scoundrels have nothing on us.' Beechfur replied. 'Are you freaking kidding me?' Mosspool said, his breaths in puffs. 'Now honey, let's not get too worried. We've had this territory for quite a long time and we've all been through rough times. We just have to grin and bear it.' Dappleshade explained.
Yo tuurrrnnn!! XDD

"Its almost sundown, maybe you should sleep in the nursery tonight," said Beechfur. Seedcloud rolled her eyes, "Let me have one more night in the warriors den, and then tomorrow after the Gathering I'll find a nest in the nursery, okay?" she asked. "Okay," Beechfur answered reluctantly. Suddenly Seedcloud heard pawsteps behind her and she turned to see Gingerbee padding up to them, her belly rolling with every step. "Did I hear we may have another queen in the nursery?" Gingerbee asked. "You heard correct, I'm moving to the nursery tomorrow," said Seedcloud. "That's great! I've been so lonely in the nursery, not that Sunscar doesn't keep me company," said Gingerbee.
14 Apr, 2013, 11:44 pm
Seedcloud washed her paw as she heard Gingerbee's pawsteps pad away. Suddenly she began to wonder, were there really tiny lives growing inside of her? She leaned her head down and licked her belly. "You should probably check in with the medecine cat," her mother, Jadewing's voice startled her. "Yeah, Beechfur will want to know how many," said Seedcloud. Jadewing purred as she watched her daughter pad to the medecine den. "Seedcloud, what can I help you with?" asked Cherryleaf. "Well, I'm expecting Beechfur's kits," she explained nervously. "Thats great!" Cherryleaf exclaimed as she padded over. "Well considering you've only been expecting for a few days and your belly has already swollen slightly, I'd say around three," Cherryleaf reported. "Thanks Cherryleaf," Seedcloud called as she headed out of the den.
your turn!
13 Apr, 2014, 5:50 am
The next night Seedcloud Beechfur and several other cats were padding down the narrow trail that led to the Gathering Island where all five Clans met to discuss important issues every full moon. As Seedcloud hopped on to the tree trunk that led to the island she heard the cats behind her muttering about RiverClan. "Be careful around RiverClan okay?" she heard Beechfur's concerned mew. "I'll be fine." she reasured him. She hopped off the tree and immediately heard the angry snarls of RiverClan cats. A few WindClan cats snarled back, but Seedcloud just kept walking forward. Suddenly vicious hissing broke out behind her. She looked back to see two RiverClan cats grappling with Sandwhisker. Seedcloud tried to run over but Sunscar was already there, separating the three. As soon as the fight was calmed a yowl sounded from the Tall Trees. "May the Gathering begin!" Shouted Volestar pf ThunderClan. "Would you like to go first Sagestar?" He asked. "Yes, thank you Volestar."
13 Apr, 2014, 6:06 am
"The first item I would like to bring up. We have two new warriors: Cloudfeather and Heathersong!" Sagestar meowed. The two siblings ducked their heads as the other Clans chanted their names. "Also, Seedcloud will soon be joining the nursery. All in all, WindClan is thriving." she finished. Newtstar stepped forward to speak when suddenly Sagestar added abruptly "However, we have been receiving threats from RiverClan cats. And if they continue, they will not go unpunished." Sagestar stepped back on her branch and cast a grim look at Newtstar. "Sagestar!" Newtstar snarled. "You know that the marsh is RiverClan's! It was ours when warrior cats first settled here! And we intend to take it back!" "It would do you good to control your temper Newtstar! We won that land fair and square, a long time ago. And we have no intention of giving it up!" Sagestar hissed. "This Gathering is over!" Newtstar nearly roared. "Hey! You can't just--" Hopstar started, but Newtstar was already gone.
17 Apr, 2014, 3:42 am
The trip back to camp was quieter than Seedcloud would have expected. The only sounds were paws padding along the dirt and the occasional whisper. Once the word got out at camp; it was complete chaos. Angry yowls and hisses seemed to be coming from every den. "How dare they?!" "They did what?! At a GATHERING!?" "We need to show them we're not afraid to use our claws!" Seedcloud felt Beechfur's warm pelt brush against hers as he sat down next to her. She smiled. "Time to pick your spot in the nursery," he said. Seedcloud rolled her eyes and followed.
