A/N: This is a story-ish thing that is told through poetry. The italicized text POV of a ThunderClan cat, and the underlined text is from the POV of a RiverClan cat. Underlined, italicized text is what they are both thinking.
ThunderClan kit (ginger tom)
I want to fight for my Clan
I want to fight
I want to protect my Clan, ThunderClan
Make it the best
I want to fight.
Right now, we fight with another Clan, RiverClan
They steal our prey
How dare they!
They are terrible
Thieves
Cowards, only coming out in the dark of night
Despicable.
They should die
All of them.
How dare they
Steal our prey!
How dare they
Try and challenge us
Dare deny this terrible crime
How dare they!
We'll show them
I'll show them
I'll crush them all
And they'll run away from my terrible power
As I fight as a noble warrior
On the battlefield
Bringing victory
A glorious trophy
Back home
As a shining warrior.
But now I am still a kit
"Not of age"
Clanmates say,
I am too young to fight
They mean that I am too weak to fight
I'll show them!
I'll show them that I can fight!
Just wait until I am six moons old
I'll show them
I'll blow them all away
But now I am still a kit
Still under six moons old
Still "protected" from every little thing
Still unable to fight
For my Clan.
For now, I'll wait
I'll wait until I am six moons old
But then I'll shine
I'll show them all
What a warrior I am
What a warrior I am!
Now I'll wait
Wanting to fight for my Clan
Wanting to shine on the battlefield
Wanting to drive the RiverClanners away
Wanting to win
I want to fight for my Clan
I want to fight

RiverClan kit (gray she-cat)
What am I?
I am a small kit
Not yet six moons old
What am I?
I am just a tiny kit
Unable to help my Clan
In its war against ThunderClan
What am I?
Everyone takes care of me
Feeds me
Protects me
But what do I give in return?
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
What am I?
Am I just a burden?
Just a burden?
Right now RiverClan is at war with another-
The lying ThunderClan.
They say we are stealing their precious prey
As if!
We eat fish.
Those terrible ThunderClanners
They lie!
They just want an excuse to attack us
Take what is ours (SunningRocks)
Hurt us
Kill us
They just want an excuse
Those miserable, lying, cheating flea-pelts
They just want an excuse
To launch us all into war
I can see the stress on my Clanmates' faces
I can feel their anxiety
I know their nervousness
Their hidden rage at ThunderClan
Their invisible burden
Yet still they take care of me
Feed me, protect me
But I give nothing in return
Am I just a burden?
Just weighing them down
In this war against ThunderClan?
I am just a burden
I won't be
I refuse to be
Just wait until I am six moons old
Just you wait
I'll be a burden no longer
I'll be of benefit to this Clan, my Clan
I'll fight
I'll fight
I'll fight for my Clan
I want to fight.
