My first challenge, Whispers in the wind for Songclan! Enjoy!

Whispers in the wind

"Filth! Rot! You're not truly belonging in here. Go away !" "No..no...NO!!!" Wintersong gasped, jerking awake from her nightmare. She panted, as her friend, Stonewing, snored beside her. As her eyes adjusted to the musty Willowclan warriors den, she shuddered from the dream.

One moon later

Wintersong's head was filled with criticism of the other clans and her own clan's voices. Later, when she snuggled up in the warriors den, her blue eyes crackling with fury, she strongly, furiously vowed:"I will kill thd Lightstar's kits! "She will know what devastation feels like... As Wintersong fell asleep, her friend, Stonewing shuddered. What...what does she mean? I must stop her.

"Warrgh!" Hailkit rolled over onto her belly, causing Darkkit, her brother, to rake a soft paw over her belly. "Hey! That's not fair!" Hailkit grumbled rolling over and batting a soft blow onto her brother's ear. "That's enough, kits." Lightstar's calm voice rung through the air. " You shouldn't play so roughly. You'll hurt yourself." As Lightstar mentioned this, she noticed that the half- Lakeclan warrior, Wintersong, was sitting under a Willow tree, staring coldly at her and her kits. A wave of suspicion overcame her, and she called out to Wintersong. As Wintersong padded across the clearing, muscles were rippling under a narrow Willowclan frame. Her pure white coat shined, and her cold blue eyes were emotionless- even Lightstar herself wouldn't want Wintersong as an enenemy. She takes after her Lakeclan father- cold blue eyes and rippling muscles, strongly built and not an easy oppenent to fight with. She is also able to swim expertly and easily, even under a stong current. And her narrow Willowclan frame just makes it worse- she can easily balance on narrow tree branches and aim directly at her target... As if a cold leaf-bare wind passed through Lightstar, she shivered and drew a tail protectively over her kits. Wintersong stopped when she was face-to-face with Lightstar, and a warm purr rumbled in her throat, this time reaching the eyes. "Well, hello, kits. What are you playing today? Anything new?" The kits squealed and happily leaped 9ver their mother's tail. As they began mewing happily, a warm purr formed in Lightstar's throat. Perhaps we can trust a half-clan warrior after all...

Hailkit and Darkkit, now Hailpaw and Darkpaw, stood beside their mentors, Stonewing and Wintersong, as they began to explore clan territory.

"Want a snack? " Wintersong asked the two new apperentices, who panted excitedly and collapsed, exhausted, onto the floor. As Wintersong went to the bushes for a snack, Stonewing followed her. He gasped as he saw Wintersong gather deathberries onto a big leaf. He bounded over to her. "No! Wintersong! Please stop! Revenge isn't everything.." He trailed off as he saw her beatiful blue eyes, iced with deep hurt and fury. "You don't understand, Stonewing. You're not half-clan. Nobody taunts you. Everybody respects you. Me, I'm a nobody. I don't belong here.After I kill Hailpaw and Darkpaw, I'll eat deathberries myself.Then I'll be free. I'll have somecat to love..." Suddenly, the deathberries were carried by a hawk, and she was cornered by Stonewing. " I love you, Wintersong. I always did.I always will. The moment I met you, I knew you were..." he trailed off, love in his eyes. " I love you, Wintersong. Will you be my mate?" Wintersong's fury was replaced by surprise, and love, too. "Yes.I will." she buried her face in his gray chest. The handsome gray tom's amber eyes shone, and they stood there for a while. Wintersong removed herself from his warm body, and with love, she whispered, "Let's get them a snack."

7 moons later.

Wintersong padded heavily out of the nursery, her eyes shining with pride as Hailstorm, her apperentice, went to a border patrol. Her flanks were swollen with kits, and she and her mate, Stonewing, lay on the grass, Stonewing's paw gently stroking her exploding flank. " How's the kits?" He murmured. Wintersong winced as the kits moved in her belly. "Half-clan ready." She purred.
