I am not really sure where to go with this. Anyone can add to it if they want.
Stormpaw padded through the woods, listening to the rushing of the river. A dark form sprinted across her path, and she caught the scent of a cat she did not know. Furious that anyone dare trespass, she gave chase. The strange cat was fast, but she thought she could be faster.

Heatherpaw was trotting absently in EmberClan's territory. The absence of Blazestar was beginning to bother the she-cat, though she knew well that the leader was on a quest from StarClan, and being particularly close to StarClan, she knew how they could be, often leading a cat away from their home for extended periods of time. EmberClan does not fare as well as it has in the past, Heatherpaw thought, more troubled by that thought than any else. Feeling an itch to begin running in her paws, she began to walk faster, then broke out into a full run. Wildly aware of everything around her, she bolted across the path, aware of Stormpaw but not quick to stop her onslaught. Skidding to a halt, she felt most of the hugely abnormal electrically-wild energy ebb out of her, and she was easily able to master her feelings, as before. She stood towards the middle of the path, a little aloof as she always was.

Stormpaw skidded forwards, almost flattening her Clanmate. She quickly scrambled up, eyes narrowed with hostility. "What are you-" She blinked. "Oh, Heatherpaw. I thought you were someone else."

Rosedawn was hunting stealthly in her territory. She lunged on top on her mouse and hissed in satcfaction. Then she barreled straight into Stormpaw and Heatherpaw! "oops... soory, guys" she mewed. Heatherpaw was the medicine cat apprentice and Stormpaw was pretty good at everything.

Stormpaw let out a faint hiss of annoyance. She had thought that she was chasing an enemy, when it was just a few night-wandering members of her own clan. "It's okay, Rosedawn," she meowed. "I was just a little confused, I guess. I thought Heatherpaw was an enemy warrior!"

(Cloudii and Hawkii said my bio was accepted earlier though they hadn't moved it yet, so I'ma post if you guys don't mind my joining. ^^ Cinnamon's always up for action.)
Cinnamonstreak wasn't in a good mood. He'd found a pile of bird feathers near the edge of EmberClan territory and the scent on the feathers wasn't EmberClan. Food stealers... He lashed his tail in anger again at the thought. The drought was hitting all Clans hard, but for other to steal food was unheard of! If he got his paws on the thief...
Suddenly, a flash of fur caught his attention followed by a few thuds and voices. Geared up for battle, he shot off through the brush thinking the thief was in the territory. With a yowled battlecry he leaped through the wall of shrubbery only to see three of his Clan mates and no food, no strangers and definately not looking like they were in a battle. "Where'd they go?! Did you see them?!" He asked, spinning around and itching for a fight. "Why when I get my claws on them, they'll wish they'd never HEARD of EmberClan!" He meowed triumphantly, if a little darkly.
Glancing at his clan mates and noting no one looked even remotely hyped up for a battle, he felt only slightly stupid for having leaped out of the bushes ready for an apparently imaginary fight. He settled his fur down and licked a paw casually while waiting for a reply and trying to act like he'd known all along it had just been them, though his eyes were still blazing with the intense desire to defend his Clan and it was obvious he was still itching for a fight.

ooc - One of my charries is gonna (sorta) steal! *trumpets* Hope you guys don't mind...
Cloudmist was chasing a temptingly plump rabbit, her green eyes intent on the prey. The tortoiseshell warrior drew closer and closer until her claws sank into the rabbit's flank. She pulled it towards her and finished it off with a bite to the throat. Oakpaw and FEatherpaw should eat this, they're young and growing, she thought, with satisfaction in her gaze. Suddenly the scent hit her. Looking around, she saw four EmberClan cats close by. She was on EmberClan territory! Quickly grabbing the rabbit she raced back to her own side of the border, but she was too late...
ooc - dun dun dun...

Stormpaw's eyes narrowed as she saw Cloudmist race back across the border. "She's stealling food!" Stormpaw cried. "I'm going after her!" She raced through the bushes, her heart pounding. How dare that cat trespass! EmberClan may be fewer in numbers, but that didn't mean they couldn't defend their territory.

(ooh yes, action! *charges after gleefully*)
Cinnamonstreak hadn't been sitting there long when the sound of a cat pursuing prey and then making a kill reached his ears. Jumping to his feet, he whipped his head around to see who it was and as Cloudmist stood up, her scent reached him... STORMCLAN! If he hadn't been seeing red before, he sure was now at seeing another cat actually steal food in front of him!
Stormpaw was just as furious and shot off after Cloudmist, but she was only an Apprentice. Cinnamonstreak knew she shouldn't do that and was about to call her back, but decided against it. The urge to fight and show that thieving pile of fur that EmberClan wasn't to be messed with was welling up and numbers WERE numbers. "Come on you two!" He snapped at the other two Warriors standing there before yowling a battlecry and following Stormpaw.
Racing after Cloudmist, Cinnamonstreak's policy about trespassers, not to mention thieves, was one of no mercy. Being the fastest cat in EmberClan ((uh, you guys ok with that claim?)) had it's advantages in that regard and he put it to use as he ran Cloudmist down. Not caring how close they were to StormClan territory, his only thought was to stop her from reaching the safety of her border with EmberClan's prey.
Scaling a fallen log, he raced along the length, his claws shredding and scattering dead bits of bark to the forest floor below as he overtook her and passed her. Leaping down he cut her off from her border with a furious hiss and unsheathed his claws. "You're going to pay for that rabbit you filthy thief!" he growled unmercifully at her as he stalked towards her, eagerly preparing to attack her.
(come on Stormpaw! lol)

Stormpaw hissed in agreement, stalking forwards to stand alongside Cinnamonstreak. "So you think you can steal prey from EmberClan? We'll make you sorry you ever scented that rabbit!" She flexed her claws, but hung back slightly, waiting to see what Cinnamonstreak would do.

Cloudmist bristled and she snarled, "This is a StormClan rabbit," she hissed furiously at herself for being not quiet enough about it. "It ran across the border, but it is StormClan's rabbit," she insisted, her green eyes burning with a fierce fire. "Why don't you go and tell Blazestar if you're so concerned about losing prey, weaklings?" This was not at all like her usual character, but Cloudmist was furious with the EmberClan cats for accusing her for stealing, besides, her Clan and kits needed the prey.

This was too much for Stormpaw to tolerate. The normally calm and respectful apprentice looked like she would tear Cloudmist to pieces right then and there. "Who're you calling weaklings? At least EmberClan cats aren't mousebrained enough to chase prey across borders- and make enough noise to wake half the forest while you're at it!"

Rosedawn chased after them and sroked Stormpaw's tail warningly. "I'm sure it was an accident, Cloudmist," she said icily. Rosedawn shot Heatherpaw a gaze to play along and not start fighting. Itwas a bit dark already and secretly Rosedawn hated nighttime fights. "Um... Cinnamonstreak, Heatherpaw, Stormpaw, let's go." Rosedawn vainly tried to escape the battle. "And, Cloudmist, if we're weaklings, why steal our prey?" she shot the ending mew at Cloudmist. But her clanmates really seemed to wanna fight. "Um..." Rosedawn sighed. "Stormpaw." the warrior apprentice seemed to have the most hostility. Or was it Cinnamonstreak? "Cinnamonstreak." Only Heatherpaw was ok-calm. Cooly Rosedawn turned to Cloudmist. "I see no need to tell Blazestar this now, Cloudmist." She swept her icy gaze around her clanmates as if they wished to protest. "Right, guys?" Rosedawn glared at Cinnamonstreak and Stormpaw. "You guys... gotta calm down. And Cloudmist, leave our territory... now." Rosedawn tried hard not to snarl. "Or we will attack." she twitched her tail and fixed her cold gaze on Cloudmist. "Come on." Rosedawn snapped. her temper control ebbing away. She flexed her claws. "You better leave too, Cloudmist."

Stormpaw sighed, feeling the anger ebb out of her like a receeding tide. "Sorry, Rosedawn." She turned to Cloudmist. "Sorry for chasing you." But her eyes flashed as a touch of spirit returned. "But you shouldn't have said those things about EmberClan!" She scurried away to stand beside Heatherpaw, knowing that she had to get her temper under control. Attacking a warrior from a different Clan over a misunderstanding would be stupid.

(oooh bad thing to say Cloudii. hehe action time! xD)
Cinnamonstreak growled again at Cloudmist as Stormpaw came to stand next to him and was in complete agreement with him about Cloudmist's thievery. Cinnamonstreak was glad Stormpaw was here because now was a perfect chance for her to learn about Clan loyalty and defending what was rightfully EmberClan's.
Cinnamonstreak was inwardly proud as he listened to Stormpaw speak strong words, though she didn't move in to attack. Cinnamonstreak got the idea she was watching to see what he'd do and that was fine with him as he could demonstrate his policy of take no prisoners. Before he could move in or otherwise comment, Cloudmist growled and furiously snarled her excuse for trespassing.
"This is a StormClan rabbit, it ran across the border, but it is StormClan's rabbit. Why don't you go and tell Blazestar if you're so concerned about losing prey, weaklings?"
Cinnamonstreak sneered at her words about the rabbit having run across the border line. "It might have started on your border, furball, but the second it crossed our border it became OURS." He snipped coldly at her. As she continued, she said the WRONG thing to him. She insulted EmberClan. Cinnamonstreak bristled up and slowly started to see red. No one. insulted. EmberClan. NO ONE.
"Who're you calling weaklings? At least EmberClan cats aren't mousebrained enough to chase prey across borders- and make enough noise to wake half the forest while you're at it!"
Stormpaw shot back exactly what Cinnamonstreak was feeling and he backed it up with a furiously snarled hiss. Oh she was gonna pay for that remark - dearly. It was no secret Blazestar had been gone for awhile and that the Deputy wasn't exactly around much either, but that didn't mean EmberClan was weak and Cinnamonstreak wasn't about to let Cloudmist continue in her ignorance and arrogance of that statement. He unsheathed his claws and lowered his head, sizing her up and readying himself to attack her.
Cinnamonstreak had started to advance on Cloudmist, but then Rosedawn appeared and stopped next to Stormpaw. Glancing at the other warrior, he waited for her to back up their claim, but instead, she did the exact opposite and caved to Cloudmist! She told Cloudmist her stealing was OKAY and worst of all, was she got Stormpaw, a promising Apprentice, to follow in her cowardly pawsteps and actually APOLOGIZE to CLOUDMIST! Staring at Rosedawn in shock, he thought it couldn't get much worse than that. Oh, then she wanted everyone to just tip toe home and pretend this never happened and saw no reason to tell Blazestar?!?!?! That was too much for him to take.
Whipping around on Rosedawn he slashed his claws at her in full fury, missing her on purpose as he wouldn't attack a Clanmate unless for a VERY good reason, but he was furious at her and it showed. "You COWARD!" He snarled in rage at her. "You are a disgrace to EmberClan! You would have us slink home with our tails between our legs and ADMIT to another Clan that we agree with her opinion that EmberClan is weak with Blazestar being gone on a mission for StarClan?!" He practically shouted at her. "Great idea Rosedawn!" He continued with heated sarcasm. "Let's teach Stormpaw that it's okay to let other cats walk into our territory and steal our prey too!!" He added with another furious hiss while pointing a paw at Stormpaw.
Not waiting for her to reply he turned to Stormpaw as he lashed his tail. "Let a REAL warrior show you how theivery and insults to EmberClan are handled Stormpaw!" He spat before turning on Cloudmist. "NO ONE insults MY Clan and they definately aren't going to steal from us either!" He hissed as he lunged at her with outstretched claws, looking to rip her apart and teach her a lesson. "The only thing you're leaving our territory with, is injuries!"
(heh. can you say temper? and he's not going for -kill- just for "teach her a lesson". and ah, would someone like to intervene? *giggles and eyes the other StormClan cats*)
