WindClan and RiverClan Feud

==Hawkpaw(soars) Attack ==
While the feud did not initially start after Hawkpaw (later Hawksoar) of RiverClan was attacked, it was the main reason surrounding it. While he was out hunting at night, he was attacked by another RiverClan apprentice, Blackpaw. Blackpaw at the time was being manipulated by a Dark Forest cat and the soon-to-be deputy Adderfang that the Clans needed to be purified of half-Clan cats. Hawkpaw just so happened to be half-ShadowClan. When Blackpaw saw Hawkpaw, he immediately attacked, and left the apprentice nearly dead. Adderfang had been watching in a hiding place the whole Hawkpaws attack. Not sure what to do, a rouge named Rose took Hawkpaw by the scuff and took him back to RiverClans camp by following the other twos scents. When Rose got to the camp, she quickly explained that she had found Hawkpaw near death and took him back to be healed. She was thanked for bringing him back, but was forced to leave soon after. When Hawkpaw recovered enough and was questioned about what had happened, he said out of fear that he did not remember anything about the attack or his attacker. In reality, he did in fact know who attacked him, but he was afraid of what Adderfang or Blackpaw might do to him, so he kept his head down. A few days after the attack, a warrior named Minnowstream was out patrolling when she overheard Blackpaw and Adderfang discussing who to blame for Hawkpaws attack. She tried to slip away unnoticed, but Adderfang quickly saw her and forced her into silence with threats. Later that same day, Adderfang found Rose near RiverClan territory and attacked her. He returned to camp claiming that he had heard Rose confess to Hawkpaws attack and had successfully driven her out. The Clan believed him and for a while things settled down.
==Rose Joins WindClan ==
Meanwhile, Rose had wandered into WindClan territory, only to spot a WindClan patrol fighting off a dog. During the fight, Mossystar had lost her second life, and Talonclaw, her mate, fell unconscious due to excessive blood loss. When the patrol returned, Rose followed them out of mere curiosity, wondering how it was possible for any cat to rebirth. Hidden in the branches of a large oak tree near the camp, Rose watched the medicine cat, Sunfur, attend to the injured warriors. When the day neared sunset, she began to feel clumsy with exhaustion and accidentally sent a branch tumbling to the ground. The only sound then was as two of Mossystar’s kits, Mousekit (Later to be known as Mouseberry), and Needlekit (Later recognized as Needleheart) stirred from their sleep. Needlekit, spotting the broken branch before her sister, raced over and saw Rose, persuading her to get down. Mousekit frowned at the loner and told her to leave, whereas Needlekit invited her to stay. Much to Mousekit’s satisfaction and Needlekit’s disappointment, Rose declined the invite and left. By the river, she met a BloodClan apprentice named Cobra. Soon after, Needlekit, wanting to prove her sister wrong, went out in search of the apprentice aged loner, only to nearly freeze to death by the river. Rose, passing through the place, panicked when she found the unconscious kit and returned her to WindClan. Mossystar, grateful for the loner’s help, offered her a place in WindClan. Rose then became Rosepaw of WindClan, Mossystar’s own apprentice.
== The Full-Moon Gathering ==
Everything had calmed down, and soon enough, the apprentice den was filled with newly appointed apprentices.  Rosepaw, Needlepaw, Brackenpaw, Finchpaw, Branchpaw, Cherrypaw, Sheeppaw, Thornpaw, Sunflowerpaw, and  Mousepaw (The Medicine-Cat Apprentice). Plus a young ShadowClan warrior named Wolfshadow. Soon, a full-moon Gathering took place, and Mossystar was approached by Adderfang. The WindClan leader was informed that Rosepaw was possibly a murderer, as she had ‘attacked Hawksoar’. Mossystar, refusing to believe this, gathered her Clan and left the Gathering.
== The Battle ==
Flamestar came to WindClan to warn Mossystar of Rosepaw, now Rosethorn. He threatened to drive her out himself if the WindClan leader hadn't in 3 days. Mossystar didn't wait, and took two patrols into RiverClan territory to attack. RiverClan soon arrived, with Adderfang leading a patrol of RiverClan warriors and a couple apprentices including Blackpaw and Hawksoar. He confronted Mossystar again and tried to convince her to exile Rosethorn, but she outright refused. He then confronted Rosethorn and managed to break her hindleg, nearly killed her before Hawksoar stepped in and stopped him. Hawksoar and Rosethorn briefly manage to escape from the fight, where they confessed their true feelings for one another. Rose, forfeiting her warrior name, tells Hawksoar she will leave to stop the battle, and though heartbroken, he lets her go. He returns to the fighting cats and announces Rose's departure, stopping the battle and letting everyone go home.
