Since 'Wishclan' isn't really working, I decided to post a few of the threads finished by members on WSOW (There not mine, and I only take partial credit for the threads I participated in

Solar~Ginger tom with a black diamond on his forhead: former kittypet

Chapter 1
The Tradgety of Family
Part 1

Confusion and Sorrow

Solar walked through the flowers, sighing inwardly. He had only come this far into the forest to see if Lunar would follow him, wich she hadn't. Him and Lunar had been drifting appart, and he was scared she didn't care about him anymore. Solar felt like yowling at the top of his voice and making this entire field burst into flames. He bit his toung, he felt oddly like it was the people talk that had made Lunar desire other cats instead of her brother. His collar felt tight around his neck, Solar wanted it gone. "Brisnak" he muttered, as the red collar fell to the ground as a pile of ash, only the black tag remained. Solar padded some distance away from the small pile of ash, and sat down with his tail curled around his paws. Sorrow and confusion plain on his face.

Moonwhisper was on a patrol. Suddenly, she stopped. "Alright, who gave you permission to intrude on Frostclan territory?" she hissed. She didn't know who this cat was but she was going to find out one way or another.

Solar turned his head slowly to face the new cat, hints of sorrow still lingering on his orange-and-black face. The usually black diamond shaped mark on his forhead seemed a dull gray. "Permission?" Solar had never asked permission to do anything before, why start now? His eyes dulled as he tried to forget about his sister, and focused on the cat in front of him. "Why do I need permission?" He was secretly glad that he wasn't wearing his collar anymore, or else this cat might have attacked him immidiatly.

"Don't play dumb. What clan are you from?" she asked unsheathing her claws.

"I'm not from a clan" Solar said stubbornly, he wouldn't mention he was a kittypet. He snorted, and looked away with his nose shoved up in the air

"So where are you from then? Don't you know you can't just come on anyone's territory whenever you want?" she asked.

"I don't see why not" He mewed, purposly ignoring her first question. "If I want to go somewhere, I will" He meowed, flicking his tail. Solar was briefly reminded of how him and Lunar used to fight like this. He shook the memories away, hoping this cat didn't notice. "Who are you anyway?" He meowed indifferently.

"I am Moonwhisper of Frostclan. And you are?" she asked, a hostile tone still in her voice.

"Solar, as I told you before, no clan" He meowed. "You don't have to be so hostile, it's not like I'm doing anything wrong" The only other clan cat he had met was Autumnstar, and she hadn't been anything like Moonwhisper.

"Well I can see you're no threat but listen, you can't just wander into clan territories like that. I won't hurt you but not all cats are like me." she warned him.

Solar sighed, "I don't even care any more" He meowed. Not to long ago, he might have grined with a note of difiance in his eyes. Lunar had always been with him then though. His tail laid limp against his side, his eyes were drawn to a red flower wich he had a strong urge to trample and destroy in any way.

Moonwhisper could tell something was troubling Solar. "Is there a problem?" she asked.

Solar remained silent, he didn't want to talk about his sister, he wanted to forget about her. He slowly shook his head, "Nothing..." he meowed, not managing to make his voice convincing.

Moonwhisper slowly nodded. "Would you like a peice of fresh-kill?" she asked. "We have plenty to spare."

Solar looked thoughtfull, "I guess I would" He hadn't eaten since he came into the forest, and there wasn't any denying he was hungry.

"Alright then." she responded. She found a mouse nearby and swiftly killed it. "There, now hurry and eat. If Goldenstar knew I was doing this for you, she wouldn't be happy."

Solar looked down at the mouse before hungrily devouring it. It hadn't occured to him how hungry he was before he saw the mouse. "Thanks" he mumbled after he finished the mouse. He didn't know what else to say.

Moonwhisper watched as he devoured the mouse. "So um.. what bringts you into the forest?" she asked trying to make conversation.

Solar shrugged, "I felt like being by myself" He meowed. It was half true at least, he wasn't really sure of the rest of the reason. He sighed, looking down at where the mouse had been. The other part of the reason probably had something to do with people-talk. "And I can't go home anymore" He meowed. If Lunar didn't feel like being with him anymore, then he didn't want to be a kittypet.

"But aren't loners always alone?" Moonwhisper asked as she listened to Solar.

Solar shrugged again, if he was a loner now, then so be it. "I used to do everything with my sister" He meowed, not really willing to tell moonwhisper the rest.

Moonwhisper understood. "Oh. I see." she said giving him a nod. "Maybe you should talk to Goldenstar about joining our clan then." she suggested. "She's a great leader and I'm sure she'd be happy to have another Frostclan cat." she smiled. She hoped that Solar would join after all.

Solar looked at her almost hopefully. Being alone was nice occasionally, but he still prefered company. "Really?" was all he managed. Would he ever go back and see Lunar? would she ever come try to find him? None of that would matter if he was allowed to join Frostclan.

"Yes. I can bring you to Goldenstar and see what she says." Moonwhisper told him. "Do you want to join then? You know there will be lots of dangers and it will be hard work right?" she asked him.

Dangers and hard work wouldn't be a problem, "Yes, I'd like to join" He meowed, the diamond shaped mark on his forehead seemed to be back to it's usual black, instead of gray.

"Alright then. Follw me." Moonwhisper said as she started walking in the direction of the camp. She hoped that Goldenstar would let him join and that this wouldn't be a problem.

Icefire~White tom (insignificant to story): Desertclan Warrior
Autumnstar~Golden she-cat with brown stripes along her back; brown eyes: Stormclan leader

Chapter 2
To Conquer or Destroy

Crossing the line

Darkstar walked easily onto stormclan territory, white paws leaving prints in the soft earth. He looked around without really noticing where he was, his flawed green eyes scanning the clearing for any sign of another cat

Autumnstar watched Darkstar. "What are you doing on Stormclan territory?" she growled.

"Don't you know?" said a white figure.

Darkstar didn't bother to look at the two cats. One, he knew, was Autumnstar, who he so desired to rake his claws through. He was fairly sure the other was one of his though. He turned his icy flawed eyes at the tom, and hissed, this was something he wanted to do himself.

Autumnstar growled at Darkstar. "What are you doing here?" she hissed coldly. "Go home or die here and now!" she spat waiting for Darkstar's answer.

Darkstar turned to Autumnstar, "oh, now would you even try? I wouldn't mind a nice work out" He threw a cold glance at the white tom, "leave, now." he hissed.

Autumnstar sprang at Darkstar. She bit into his spine, hoping to kill him, or at least take awayone of his lives.

"yes, Darkstar." He left only to follow his leader's orders, pausing to watch at the border.

Darkstar rolled his back away from the attack, escaping Autumnstar's jaws. He laughed at her attack, and swung a heavy paw at her exposed side, knocking her to the ground. Darkstar pressed his forpaws down on Autumnstar's shoulders, and grined in her face. "Surely you weren't actually trying to beat me then? You have about as much a chance at that as you do at entering Desertclan camp" He sneered in her face.

I have an idea! she thought. Autumnstar suddenly went limp.

Darkstar rolled his eyes, "such a kit trick, do you think I'll actually fall for that? I barely hit you and your pretending to be dead. You insult me" He pressed his paws even harder on Autumnstar's shoulders.

Autumnstar could barely move her paws so she swung her hind legs and kicked him at full force. He was finally off her. She sprang on him and pinned him to the ground with her claws dug into his skin. She didn't want him to counter her attack with the same thing she had done so she sat on his hind legs while digging her back claws into them for extra security.

Darkstar looked up at Autumnstar with a bored expression, despite being kicked off her a second ago. He briefly considered her position, before closing his jaws around her whiskers and pulling at them. A kit trick if there ever was one, but enough to throw off any cat's balance.

Autumnstar fell off Darkstar but her claws were still buried in his skin. She didn't let go but instead, scooted around on the floor pulling him around with her. Then she loosened her grip on his hind legs and swung them into his face to scratch it up.

Darkstar rose up instantly and slashed Autumnstar's face, hitting her between the eyes. "Will you just roll over and die already? This is getting annoying" He hissed, hackles raising slightly at the golden she-cat. He raked his claws over her exposed belly, hooking them to hurt her even more. His tail lashed behind him, a sign that he was fairly ticked off.

"You forget, I have nine lives." she purred slightly wincing from the pain. She bit into his paw, attempting to crack the bone. Then she used her old kick and scratch trick on him. She knew eventually she would have to try something else but that would do for now. She wasn't about to be killed by Darkstar.

Darkstar almost grinned against the pain in his paw, and snapped it over her head, allowing little movement without immense pain in her head. He leaned down so his mouth was by her ear, "And so do I" He whispered with a trace of malice, "Except I can polish off any of your lives without breaking a sweat" As he finished his sentance, he placed his other paw on her head, and pressed down hard. "The more lives, the more interesting the fight!" he yowled as he pushed down even harder.

Autumnstar struggled, scratching Darkstar's face sevral times in the proccess. Eventually, she broke free. She dug her claws into his face using the same trick Darkstar did. She bit his whiskers. She hissed at Darkstar angrilly. While still holding his whiskers between her teeth, she slashed his ears.

Darkstar didn't like having his whiskers pulled, and bit down hard on the bridge of her nose, feeling blood seep into his mouth. He briefly remembered something that had happened years ago; A pure white tom sinking his teeth into the face of a black and white she-cat, hearing yowls of pain echo inside the den. The white tom raked his claws across the she-cats chest, dripping blood across the ground. Darkclaw mimicked the movement, draging his long claws across Autumnstars chest, and staining his white paws red.

Autumnstar fell to the ground. She was completely washed in pain and blood. That move did it. She had to get back to camp and rest. If she continued fighting, she would lose a few lives. "Alright, you win for now." she hissed struggling to get up. "Just stay off Stormclan territory." she mewed feebly.

Darkstar laughed maliciously, "And why would I do that? you chalenged me, so naturaly, you should fight me until one of us is dead" He moved dangerously towards her, easy jumping distance for him. "I could kill you, at least once, right here and now. Save me the trouble of possibly taking more later. After all, why would I stay off stormclan territory, when the leader is weakened, and very close to losing a life?" With that, he shoved his shoulder roughly against Autumnstar's side, and pressed his paws on her shoulders, sitting on her so she couldn't kick him off this time. A wicked grin crossed his blood stained face, making it clear that he had no intentions of releasing her.

Autumnstar couldn't stand it anymore. How could she have thought that Darkstar would be the kind of cat to calmly go? She put he back paws on his back and raked them down his pelt. While she had barely injured him she twisted around and he fell off of her. She sprang at him with full force closing her paws around his neck and unsheathing her claws. She hooked them the same way Darkstar had done to her earlier. He was right. She couldn't give up and expect peace. While her claws were buried in his neck, she dug her back claws into his exposed belly hooking them as well. While she was at it, she chomped into his ear.

Darkstar was slightly suprised at the force the injured cat could attack him with, but didn't plan to allow his beutiful pelt to be further mottled. He lowered his head, and furiously drove it into her belly, knocking her away from him. Then he opened his maw, revealing his bloody fangs, and sunk them into her neck, just missing her throat, but still biting deeply, so she couldn't shake him loose. He pushed her back, raking his claws across her shoulders as he gained more room to move. If she proved to much of a challenge after this, he decided to just scratch at her chest until she finally lost one of her stubborn lives.

Autumnstar growled. She didn't like the way Darkstar's teeth felt in her neck. Since he wasn't holding her down or anything, she swiftly slashed him accross the face. Blood trickled into his eye. She took her other paw and dug her claws into his face. She hoped this would keep him off her.

Darkstar's tail beat against Autumnstars side, as his claws stuck in her shoulders. He burried his teeth even further in her neck. He began to rise onto his back paws, and force Autumnstar backwards, so he was almost on top of her. He jerked his head, keeping his teeth embeded in her neck, and feeling more blood trickle into his mouth.

Autumnstar struggled even more against Darkstar. She tried kicking him again but it was no use. I'm losing it! No! I can't lose a life! I have to fight for it! she thought hopelessly in her mind but she knew that wouldn't change anything. She couldn't take it anymore. She went limp.

Darkstar felt her go limp in his mouth, and pushed her onto her back, teeth still embedded in her neck. his claws released and he positioned them on either side of her shoulders. He shook his head, dragging Autumnstars neck with him. If he was really the winner, he wanted to make sure she had died.

[color=yellowAutumnstar blankly let Darkstar shake her around like a rag-doll.[/color]

Darkstar released Autumnstar and pressed his ear against her bloody chest. His da's lessons might be useful for something. He listened for that heartbeat, and could dimly hear a thump. His eyes closed briefly, annoyed that she wasn't fighting back anymore. He placed a paw underneath her chin and pressed down on her throat, "Will you at least make this interesting?" He said with more of a taunting air then interest for battle. He was playing with now, and would only leave her alone when he was sure she lost her life, in other words when she came at him with new power.

This was her chance. Autumnstar sprang at Darkstar, partially recovered. She bit hard into his neck, not letting go for anything. She dug her claws into his blood-stained belly to keep him from attacking back. Looks like he's stuck. she thought laughing to herself.

Darkstar recoiled as she grabed his neck in her jaws, not a killing bite, but enough if he couldn't shake her lose. He tried the simplest manuvers availiable, dropping heavily onto the ground, trapping her under him, and simply becoming dead weight. "That's better" He grined, he was going to make it difficult to breath for this fool. the heavy tom 'collapsed' on top of her, and came close to overwhelming her mouth with his long white fur. He wriggled, placing his back paws on her belly, and pressing down. He dimly registered the pain in his neck, near the pain that Whiteflower had given him. Any she-cat that reminded him of his sister just had to die![/color]

Autumnstar held on to his neck as if it were her last life. She pushed him just so she could have air. She dug her claws into his head scraping against his skull. She bit even harder into his neck. Lots of fresh blood oozed into her mouth. She was ticked off at Darkstar now and was going to make sure that she won this fight.

Darkstar narrowed his flawed eyes at her, not enjoying the feel of claws in his head. He jerked his head up hard, and began to trot around the field, draging her along with him. He made a point to step on her whenever she was withing stepping distance, and he kept his head up. His claws remained unsheathed, so everytime he stepped on her he battered her even further. He was determined not to lose any of his lives here, despit draging a heavy she-cat by his neck.

Autumnstar fought back. She climbed onto his back and clung, weighing him down even more. She unsheathed her claws and dug them into his back. She closed her claws around his spine. She also dug her back claws into his hind leg. This made it very difficult for him to walk.

Darkstar turned his flawed eyes at her, glaring angrily at the golden she-cat on his back. He buckled his legs beneath him, and rolled onto his back, kicking feircly in an attempt to dislodge Autumnstar. "Useless furball! Get off my back!" He writhed angrily, pushing her deeper into the earth below them. As an afterthought, he beat his head against whatever parts of Autumnstar he could reach.

Autumnstar was growing weaker by the second. She was very tired out. She just wanted to get back to camp or have one of her warriors by her side. "WHITEEYES!" she screamed hopelessly. She was out of plans. She slowly started giving up. She didn't care what happened now. There was nothing more she could do.

Darkstar felt her grip loosen, and rolled over, so his claws rested on her throat. "Why won't you just die?" He hissed into her ear, thruthfully, he didn't know how much longer he could keep this pace. "Why would anyone trust that fool who you just called to help you? He couldn't save a mousetail from an overstuffed kit! Let alone save you from me" He pressed his claws deeper into her throat, the sound of WhiteEyes name being called had enfuriated him. He couldn't understand why though, the feeling was strange and alien to the white tom; the feeling of guilt. He snarled into her face, a drop of blood rolling onto her nose, whoevers blood it was was impossible to know at the time.

Autumnstar glared at Darkstar with pure, fury in her eyes. "WhiteEyes is the strongest and most loyal warrior I could ever ask for!" she spat in his face. Her anger gave her enough power to throw Darkstar off of her. She stood. Her back fur spiked up and her lip curled into a snarl showing her fangs. She was ticked off now. She couldn't believe she let Darksta toy with her for so long and what she couldn't believe evn more was that she had been about to give up. She threw herself angrily at Darkstar and started ripping his pelt apart with fang and claw. If he retaliated, she would be ready.

Darkstars furious eyes matched hers in every way. "Why won't you stay down, you stubborn pile of mouse-dung!" He spat in her face. Getting his pelt dirty was never a favorable affair for Darkstar, and he deeply loathed any cat who stained his beutiful white fur with blood. He felt like tarnishing Autumnstars view on her most loyal warrior, but that would mean ruining his appearance to, so he kept his snarling mouth as shut as his fangs would allow. He swiped a now rust colored paw at Autumnstars head. "If you'r so eager to stand in my way, then fine! Keep as many lives as you can hold on to, because your going to need every one! Just remember this; I won't stop until the forest is mine" He spat at Autumnstars, turning his rust-white tail on her, and bounding over the stormclan line.

Autumnstar stared after Darkstar in disbelief. I won! she thought excitedly. She was badly injured though. She needed to visit Scarclaw for some herbs or something.
