'First' Patrol {Open}

[Lionstar]

A gray cat padded towards the river. The sounds of the gurgling water stroked his ear fur as the wind rippled his pelt. The new warrior, Stonefall, padded to the river and stepped in. He wadded farther and farther, until he was swimming across the deep channel in the middle of the river that separated RiverClan's territory from ThunderClan's. When the gray tom pulled himself out of the water, he shook, showering droplets onto the ground around him and leaving tiny ripples on the edge of the water. Stonefall scented the border markings and refreshed one as he waited for the other members of his first border patrol as a warrior.

Thunderthorn followed slowly, tired from staying up all night playing around. He was going to have to figure out a way to have fun and still be responsible, or else something was going to happen, for sure. He notices as his white paws touched the water, that it was dirtier than ussual and had a faint smell of carrion. He picked up one paw and for sure it looked almost black, hey narrowed his eyes and glanced down the river, searching for any movement in the river. "Hey Stonefall, does the river look unusually dirty? And where are all the fish?!" His voice sounded almost helpless, as he was starving, and he was happy he was on a border patrol and not hunting, so he could have a small snack.

[Lionstar]

Stonefall looked down at the river. Indeed, it looked much dirtier than usual. he hadn't noticed when he crossed, too excited about having become a warrior. Shifting his gaze to his paws, he noticed they were streaked with filth and had become nearly black. A few things floating in the middle of the river and the gray warrior splashed out to investigate. There was strange twoleg trash that smelled like carrion but worse. Near the twoleg trash, a few fish floated dead. "The river is being poisoned!" Stonefall called, swimming back to where Thunderthorn stood on the bank.

[•The Speedster•]

Thunderthorn looked around in horror. How where their clan going to eat!? Then an idea opened in his head. "Sunningrocks." He said, almost to himself. "We'll have to take Sunningrocks back!" He pushed himself deeper into the river, to where his was no longer standing, but swimming. The current seemed to be stronger, but not dtrong enough for a trained RiverC;an warrior. The black water surged around him, and he pulled his paws forward, heading to the other side of the river. His orbs blazed with detirmination and finally he set one paw down on the river bank. He could see the biant boulders not far off, but before he started off that way, he turned back to his freind. "Come on Stonefall, what are you waiting for! We can have prey now!" His voice was strong and he pulled the rest of his soggy bodice from the water. He shook himself off, then headed to the closest rock. He marked it as his own, just to see what ThundertClan would do about that. Then right away he spotted a rabbit, just wandering out of the forest. He crouched slowly, ears back as he headed for his first meal. The rabbits foot started hitting the ground, and Thunderthorn realized that after his next movement, the rabbit would dart. So instead of moving slowly, he just pelted towards it. The rabbit was fast for sure, but Thunderthorn held up. But after a while of chasing, his paws got asore, and his heavy oily fur pulled him down. He was disapointed that he couldn't eat, at least until he spotted the next prey, a water vole.

[Lionstar]

Stonefall followed, a little shocked. RiverClan had fought ThunderClan for Sunningrocks before, but they had never won. Could they do it now? But how else could they survive? Stonefall bounded after Thunderthorn. "Don't go too far into ThunderClan territory!" he called. "Even if we are taking Sunningrocks, the rest still belongs to them right now!"

[gaaah, short post! I'll try to make longer posts when I finish school. TT-TT I'm gonna faaaiill...]

[•The Speedster•]

[dat ok, im probably gonna fail too! my parents put me in a freakin privet school thats frakin too hard for me! I got Ds in almost all my classes and every one else makes a big deal that they got Bs! They a B is like an F to them, and I just kinda walked away then. T-T]

Thunderthorn lashed his tail, he could go as far as he pleased. This new cat couldn't boss him around, just because he became a warrior, although he shouldn't go too far, just in case. He shook his head, and focused on the vole. His paws were soft on the ground and he moved quickly and quietly. The vole was about to jump into the river, so Thunderthorn moved faster, his paws almost flying the whole way there. As soon as he was a tail-length away from it, he pounced, and although he landed flat on it, he slid in the mud and into the river. The voles limp body started to sink and the brute dove down, and quickly pulled up. He climbed out, setting the vole on the ground, then shaking his oily fur.

[Lionstar]

Stonefall spotted a mouse near one of the Sunningrocks. He fell into the hunter's crouch almost instinctively and pulled himself forward. He pounced and his paws smashed the mouse against the ground. The young warrior gave it a quick death blow and picked up the limp body. "Let's head back so we can tell [insert leader's name here] about the river," he called to his clanmate. Then he headed for the river. Just as he was about to step into the murky water, he stopped. "We should cross using the stepping stones. The poison could affect us when we swim through the water!" Stonefall meowed to Thunderthorn, dropping the mouse. He picked it up again and bounded along the riverbank to the stepping stones. He crossed them quickly and headed for camp.

[•The Speedster•]

Thunderthorn agreed with the brute. He finished drying himself off, then picked up his vole. He flung himself across the rocks, only one paw touching each one. The tomcat sped up to his friend, and came in step with his fast trot. They soon arived at camp and looked for the leader. His paws first brought him to the center of camp to set the rodent down. Then he headed to the leaders den, although it didnt smell like she was in there.

[eep! museless!]
[who is the leader???]

[Lionstar]

[Ummm, good question.]

[~.:Lunar:.~]

-The leader was Greenstar, he appointed Lunarfur as deputy, and then became unactive. You decide, I dunno if I'm aloud to be leader of WindClan AND RiverClan-

[Lionstar]

[You can only be one. But you can be the temporary leader for now.]

[kk, lunarstar!]
