Ok, so to decide who will be the new deputy of StormClan (since there has been some problem with that) I have decided to do a contest!
All stories must... -Be SHORT. That means, not going on and on and on. Starry and I do not want to be reading whole books. -Be warriors fanfic. Can be from this site or just made-up characters. -Not have any explicit language or sexual content. You already know that but I'm just putting it in. -NOT BE COPIED! If I discover you have stolen someone else's work you WILL be banned.
They will be judged on... -Originality -Talent (so please try to use your best spelling) -Entertainment (make it FUN to read! ex: suspenseful, humerous, thrilling, etc.)
PRIZES! 1st place- Deputy of StormClan and a drawing of that cat by Windy! (full body, full color, no background)
Post your stories here for them to be judged! WRITE WRITE WRITE!

((I wrote this... A little while back and forgot about this... XD Be it's waaaaay too long...))
A gentle breeze rustled through the tree tops. The sun was up high in the air but it gave off no warmth. Leaf-bare had come upon the forest, leaving everything covered in snowy white crystals. Suddenly a small furry ball came bursting out of the apprentices den. Her flame coloured pelt flashing over the snow. She slid to a halt in the middle of the BreezeClan camp. Her emerald green eyes wide with wonderment as more of the beautiful white snowflakes drifted down leaving little white flecks on the young she-cat's coat. "Wow..." she breathed, watching a snowflake drift down to the ground. "What... Is it?" she mewed blinking up at a dark gray tom that came to stand beside her.
The tom glanced down at her, his messy fur fluffed out against the cold. "It's snow..." he explained slowly.
The young cat stared at her mentor with huge eyes that danced with curiousity. She had never seen snow before as this was her first leaf-bare. The flame pelted apprentice blinked slowly before grinning with determination. "Come on Raggedfur! I have got to go train! If I ever hope to become a warrior I must get my training done!" she mewed before darting away as the snow below her paws was sent every which way.
"Wait for me, Foxpaw!" the she-cat heard Raggedfur call. She smirked slightly as she sped off through the trees like an orange juggernaut. The sound of Raggedfur thundering after her sent determination flowing through her and she sped up. Foxpaw whipped around a tree and slammed into another cat, sending the two ears over tail-tip into a large snowdrift.
The cat Foxpaw had crashed into sat up and began to groom his chest fur with an indignant snort. "Are you mouse-brained? Watch where you're going!" he snapped and Foxpaw imediately recognized the black pelt and gray paws of Shadepaw, a tom four moons her elder, though he too was an apprentice. "You could hurt somecat like that... Namely me..." he meowed in amusement. Foxpaw sat up, shaking snow from her pelt and gave Shadepaw a sheepish grin. "What were you doing running around like that in the first place? Shouldn't you be training or something like that?" Shadepaw inquired, tilting his head slightly and wrapping his tail over his paws.
Foxpaw flicked her tail-tip at Raggedfur as the dark gray tom padded over to them. "I am..." she retorted with an annoyed edge to her voice. Shadepaw just shrugged and went back to grooming his chest fur.
"I only asked... You didn't have to get so protective about it..." Shadepaw meowed, flicking his tail over her ears. Foxpaw twitched her black tipped ears in annoyance. Raggedfur smirked down at his apprentice then glanced at Shadepaw. The young tom stretched slowly and yawned. "Well... I've gotta get this squirrel back to the Clan... prey's pretty scarce in leaf-bare and I'm sure everyone will be getting hungry... I mean... I know it's not much or anything... But we have to try to get as much food as possible... Or the whole Clan will starve..." he meowed with a sigh before he turned and padded back toward the BreezeClan camp with the squirrel clamped tightly in his jaws.
Foxpaw watched sadly as her Clanmate padded away leaving her and Raggedfur alone once again. "Well... Let's go Foxpaw... We have to get back to work on your training and such..." Raggedfur commented and Foxpaw nodded before the two turned and continued onward.
((Sorry. ^^; I know you said short... But... well... I couldn't just end it yet!))

Yeah cause i want to make another for my other cat!
Starting now!
Leafdapple lead the dawn patrol towards the border. She scented the air... Mouse, Vole and something else... badger! She halted and snarled," Badger and close by!" She turned cautiously towards the scent. She stopped sharply when she saw the big black and white creature with tiny black eyes blundering into a cave at the edge of their territory. She crept up a tree and signaled for the others to follow," That badger is going to be a big problem if we don't deal with it... we're going to attack." *Making up names for warriors and apprentices* " Stormstrike stay with Breezepaw and watch your back. Willowpaw stay with me... together we can drive it off but... if we separate i don't want to say it. Okay wait for my signal." She crept down the tree and into the cover beside Willowpaw Stormstrike beside Breezepaw. She lept out of the bushes and Willowpaw followed the huge badger swung it's head around and growled. " NOW!" She screeched and ran along Willowpaw claws slashing at the badger's eyes. Suddenly she heard a shriek of pain and turned to see Breezepaw was lying on the ground by a thorn bush, his neck bleeding badly and his pelt covered in thorns. She ran over to him and dragged him out, licking his neck lightly. She turned back to the battle and saw the badger was giving up and it blundered backwards... right towards Breezepaw and herself! She grabbed his scruff and hauled him onto a slab of rock... as the badger neared she lept onto it's back and clawed it's ears and eyes. It gave a grunt of frustration and turned blundering through the woods. She snarled after it and turned to Breezepaw, the apprentice had fought bravely and she hoped he wouldn't die. She picked him up and turned back towards camp.

I'd like the contest to end on July 5th because I am leaving for a 2 week long trip on the 7th.
WF, it would be nice if you only entered one, so which one do you want to chose?

mmmmkay, will do.
A New One
I padded along silently, opening my jaws to taste the air. Vole and mouse flooded in, with the strong ThunderClan scent from my left. The camp was near; I knew it was, just as I had planned. I had to gain their respect if I planned to live here. I had been driven out everywhere else. Not that I blamed them. Slinking into a hunter’s crouch, I sneaked forward, downwind as I kept my eyes on the mouse, which was too busy grooming to notice me. About three fox-lengths away, I pounced, landing successfully with enough force to break its neck. Picking the fresh-kill up in my jaws, I brought it close to the nursery, where Ferncloud’s kits played. “Die, ShadowClan scum!” Foxkit yowled, jumping on his sibling playfully. “Psst.” I hissed to them. Their ears perked and they looked up. “Come here.” They padded up curiously, practically stumbling over themselves. I hate that I can never have kits. “Look, a gift.” I said, pushing the mouse out. “Hey, why doesn’t you paw have fur?” Icekit asked. I quickly retracted my paw. “I… I’m a little different from cats.” I mewed. I had figured this out long ago, how I had to bathe in the lake at night, how grooming with my tounge wouldn’t work, how I had to wear the pelts of other animals. It was embarrassing, but I had no choice. “Who are you?” Foxkit inquired, taking a bite of the mouse as his sister chowed down. I smiled, even though I knew he couldn’t see it. “A friend” I said with a purr. Well, my best imitation of a purr. “You sure smell funny.” “Now that’s rude. Perhaps I think you smell funny?” I asked with amusement. “All that milk in your fur, when what the last time you bathed?” Foxkit looked away shamefully. “Now where’d you get that?” Ferncloud said, craning her neck to sniff the mouse. I flinched- what if she deciphered my true scent? “From a friend!” Icekit chirped. My eyes widened in fear as I crept backwards. No! She can’t know who I am- not yet! “Who’s that?” Ferncloud said, wrinkling up her nose slightly as she looked to the kits. “Our friend! They’re right over there outside the barrier.” I barred my teeth in fear and panic, my blue eyes as wide as saucers as she turned her green gaze to mine. My jaw quivered as she leaned foreword. “Wait, you’re a….” “No!” I cried and turned heel, running though the forest. They don’t trust me yet! I can’t let them see or scent me! I looked back, chest heaving, to make sure no one had followed me. Satisfied with the stillness of the air besides my panting, I rested. What if she tells Firestar? My progress with have been ruined! I hadn’t realized where I had run to was the top of the gouge that surrounded the camp. “Hey.” I looked over to find Foxkit picking his way through my legs, coming up beside me. “Why’d you run?” I smiled sadly. “You mama won’t trust me.” “Why?” “Because… because of what I am.” I replied. “What are- AHH!” his paw slipped off of my soft skin, plummeting over the edge of the gorge. “Foxkit!” I cried, leaning over the edge to catch his scruff as I slipped, pebbles spraying over the camp as I switched my grip from my back paws to my front, heaving myself over just enough to put Foxkit down safely. “A Twoleg!” one of the cats cried from below. My head whirled around in panic as I saw the cats coming out, some of the warriors growling. I kicked franticly at the stone in vane, my claws slipping from the little grass at the top. I yowled as I landed on the ground in front of gasping group of cats. I scrambled up against the side of the rock, pressing my back against the stone as I fell on my rump, wide-eyed at the group as they began to hiss and approach me with extended claws. “No, wait!” The cats looked up above my head. “Hey, catch me!” a voice called. Foxkit?! I looked up just in time to see the red little tom leap over the edge. “Foxkit!” Ferncloud wailed. I thrust myself to my hind legs, catching the kit’s scruff in my teeth. “Oh!” Ferncloud sighed in relief as I put the kit on the ground. A ginger tom padded through the group of cats, eyes narrowing as he looked at me. “What is your name, Twoleg?” I sat up, attempting to flatten the little hair on my head, having cut it recently, and place my paws on the ground, pushing out my chest in a proper manner. “Star.” I proclaimed. “My name is Star.”
