Doves and Hawks
Doves and Hawks single write
So the plot of this is that there are two political parties. The Doves and the Hawks. There are other third parties, like the Owls and Ravens, but they have no importance to the story. The Doves and Hawks are the two magor third parties. And each has a represenitive to run the country of Hummbya. But recently the two have not been getting along, saying that their party would be better at running Hummbya.
"Tisk tisk. Hawks are more important and able to run the contry then Doves." The Hawk ruler said.
"Now now, Hawks are eragont and have no sympathy. If they were to rule then only the first class would survive." The Dove queen whispered.
"Yes but if the Doves were to rule then the goverment would be in dept more then we already are. The bussness would go without people to run them, and all togeather die off. The economy would die off. And without jobs, we would die off." The hawk ruler growled.
"You would end up dieing off too, if the contry was only ruled by hawks. Without sympathy or basic needs, the poor would all die, the middle class would be taxed so much they would be poor, and die off. And you need to tax someone, so, eventually your richest person would go into dept and die without basic needs." The Dove queen responded.
They stared at eachother for a long moment. "Without the Hawks you would die."
"Without the Doves you would die."
There was a long moment of silents. "I have an idea. What if we split the contry in half. Each of us gets a half. One part Doves and one part Hawks."
The hawk ruler smiled. "Well see which one gives in first. Make it a deal."
They shook on it.
~~~~~~
Now there is two parts of Hummbya. The Hawk side and the Dove side. All Doves are on one side, and all Hawks moved to the other. The theird parties made their own part on the top cornner of the contry, called the Otherpart.
Rules:
As you can tell this is a single write. I will take everyone in 48 hours that joined but once I start you cant make a charrie sheet.
The Hawks as told in the obove passage are hard hearted and strickt. Most Hawks are bussnes men or woman, they belive in millatary forces, and belive that the poor are poor because of their actions and should becom rich on their own terms with no help from the goveremnt.
The Doves are sweet and sympathetic to all. Most are teachers or doctors, they belive in neotagation over war and help the poor no madder how it effects the economy and how indept the goverment becoms.
There can be as many people as possible if you join in the next 48 hours. You can have two charries.
You can either be a Hawk or Dove. They are people and usually look no different from eachother. If there are too much of one type then I may change someone's charrie to a different party.
You must be between 10-16 unkess you want to be the rulers. There is a Dove ruler and a Hawk ruler. There are rulers of the other parties and you can make a charrie sheet of the other parties but they surve no importance to the single write and may not be used.

Guys I'm gonna let this slide just this once so keep in mind if you post that I will NOT keep it and I'm gonna twist the plot a lot so please don't.
~Reeana Whispersong
My mom was at it again.
"Sweetly, there is going to be a nesting tomorrow between the Hawks and Doves....And Owls and Ravens and Pidgions. But they are of no importance. Honey, stay inside. I don't know what's going to happen. Knowing the Hawk emporer...He might start a war foe more land."
When she left I was only left with the tv on. We were sitting in the Pink house, my pink hair only a bit lighter then the walls. I adjusted my cat ears and sat down to watch.
~Miss Whispersong (the queen Dove)
I stand up on the stage next to Rainsford. We shake hands, then sit down. I can hear the guards shuffling out side, the tried to ignore the bleeping cameras all around us.
"Rainsford...." I started.
"Hush, Whsipersong. You've been having the same problems in yours?"
"What problems?" I remember clearly what he had said when we made the deal. We needed more business people, hard, strict workers and teachers. But I wouldn't admit it. Not now.
"Well, you see our poor are....how do I put this? They're.... we have an underemployment rate that has skyrocketed since the recent events. Our poor are slowly dieing of hunger and thirst. We think it's the lack of land we have. We need more space for more buildings and factories and jobs for the people who cannot get any."
I cocked my head. "No. I have none of those problems. We actually have plenty of jobs. Like military forces and judges and jurries...we also need more business men. Our people are suffering from lack of resources. You need no more of my land. We easily divided the borders. We each have an equal amount of land. Plus if you build more factories you might destroy the environment."
"But my economy is falling....."
"So is mine. It has been falling for years now, Rainsford. And its because of you Hawks. All your business man taking all the jobs and making millions, and LEING so they don't have to pay taxes! At least my economy is trustworthy, unlike yours. Our rich get taxed and our poor get Healthcare. Can it be any more perfect then that?"
"Who does all the hard work? All the Labour so you filthy Doves can have peaceful, easy lives? Us Hawks are people of business. We only lie to make sure someone doesn't get taxed out of being able to work their jobs!"
"Well we make sure people don't get taxed from their lives!"
"Taxed from jobs is more important to fix."
"Taxed from living a normal life is important to fix."
"Jobs are more valuable."
"Lives are more valuable."
"Jobs make sure others have lives."
"Yes but if they have to pay so much money as they can't by the stuff your business people make and do, what's the point?"
There was a long moment of silents. And then Rainsford said in a low voice, so the cameras couldn't hear, "look, Jennifer. I didn't want it to come to this, but if you won't hand us over more land then we'll have to take it." And louder he added. "Do you want war over peace? This is your chance Whispersong. Hand over the land....or we'll take it by brute force."
I sighed. We needed that land just as much as them, but was it worth fighting for?
Of course the doves had their own military unit, that would be stupid other wise....."Rainsford violance is never the answer. But if you wish..."
"I declare war on the Hawks."
"And I on the Doves."
"Then it has started. Whoever surrenders first, the other gets 1000 miles of land."
They shook on it.
~Barbary Whitewing
I placed the painting on the rock the girl was sitting on yesterday. I didn't recognize her, but her drawing was beautiful. The way the sun made my hair almost gold, and my eyes sparkled like green gems.
And then I waited.
And waited.
And waited.
Finally, I saw her braids amonsk the crowd comming towards me. I quickly looked away so she wouldn't run away again. "There it is." She whispered. And I heard her pick up the painting. And I turned my head and smiled at her.
"I never got to tell you my name. I'm Barbary. Barbary White wing. But my friends call me Barby. Yes like the doll."
I rolled my eyes as I remember all those people asking, "why, like the doll?" And then I smiled at the memories. She thought I was smiling at her.
"Oh, um, you didn't mind that I painted this of you?"
"No not at all. It's gorgeous."
She smiled. I smiled. I think we were going to be friends.
~Catheryn
I wait in the same spot. I took IB profen before I went out today, my mother was worried that I might be making the cough worse by going out like this all the time.
And I waited for his footsteps. When they came, they were rushed. He badly noticed me, if not for my cough again. "I hope that's not contagious?" He asked. A small smile slipped his lips. But then he covered it up with a sincere glare. But I knew he didn't mean it.
"I'm not sure. It's been awhile and my mother hasn't caught it so I think you're okay." I smiled. Deep inside, my chest throbbing and my heart racing. I didn't even know what this was, really. It might be a cold, strep even. Or maybe cancer.
I shrugged off the thought. If it was strep my throat would hurt more. Cancer would be worse then this.
I saw him look me over with concern. Was he trying to figure out if I had was really contagious? Would he not like me anymore if it was?
~ Lee Raptor
I looked her up and down.
The recent news on TV, about the Doves ans Hawks going to war, should I tell her I was a Hawk? What if she didn't like me anymore. Suddenly she blurted, "Well I don't know if it's contagious. I don't even know if it even is a cold or something worse. Please don't leave me alone because of a cold."
I looked at her with a straight face. Maybe she was just as concerned as I was....just about something way less important then what I was worried about. "No, I would never. Not just because of a mere cold. They have cures for things like that....And if I do catch itthen the doctors will cure it like they will with you."
"Thanks." She whispered.
She reached over and grabbed my rough hand. Calluses scraping against her smooth skin, but she didn't mind.
But I did.
This can't go too far. I'm from the Hawks, she's a Dove....how could this ever work?
(October 20, 2016 - 10:44 pm)

~Lee Raptor
"Frank, we can't meat anymore."
He stopped in the shadows by the wall, hand resting on the smooth stone. "Why not?"
I continued looking for the handle. "Disnt you hear? We are going to war. War Frank. We are on apposing side's. Frank, Frank do you hear me?!"
"Well your finding quite enough time for that girl."
"Who Catheryn? No, I-...." I trailed off not knowing what to respond after I just totally gave myself away.
"You what? Is she more important then I to you?"
"No. I, I ended it, okay? It's over. And it never was a thing to begin."
~Catheryn
"It's over. And it never was a thing to begin." The words sunk in. They swelled around my heart and tightened my throat. My eyes brimmed as I listened.
"Well, Lee, I guess if we're on allowing side's.....I should fight you the next time you come through that door?"
He looked at Frank with unwavering eyes. "Rivals to the end of this war. Doves VS Hawks. That's how it all ways will be. All ways will. Only one side will come out victorious. And I plan to."
The handle clicked and the door to the opposing side clicked open. And that's when my chest tightened and my heart leaped.
"No...." I gasped right before I started coughing.
~Franklin Reed
I flipped around, fists clenched, as I spotted the source of the coughing. Lee looked at me and I caught a whisp of fear cross his eyes.
"Catheryn!" He yelled.
~~~~
Sorry it's so short guys it's all I have time for.....

Thanks guys! This one is going to b short too sorry!
~Franklin
"So this is Catheryn." I almost chuckle. "This is the girl you've been crossing the borders for."
Lee stopped in his tracks, staring at me. "You were never friend's with me in the first place, were you? It was always about her."
I slowly walk towards her, boots clinking through the air. "No...." Lee whispered, unable to do anything.
I approach her, still coughing, and grab her shoulder. She looks at me frightfully......And I know I couldn't hurt her. Instead I turn towards Lee. "What are you going to do, knowing your on pposite sides?"
~Catheryn
I finished coughing and took two deep breaths before pulling myself together and looking him in the eye. "What are we going to do, Lee? A dove and a hawk....how is this ever going to work?"'
Suddenly a light flashed and a high ranking voice pierced through the night. "What are you kids doing out so late? And what are you doing crossing borders?!"
The voice challenged Lee. He stared at me for a long moment, his expression blank and emotionless. "Just leaving."
And before I could say another word the door had slammed shut. "Better activate this soon.....government would not be pleased... " The officer mumbled before saying, "you kids, you could catch a cold being out so late. Go home."
I turned without another word, walking in a different direction then the boy who Lee was meeting before he ran into me.
Oh Lee.....
A dove and a hawk.....this was never ment to be in the first place.
Or was it?
(October 24, 2016 - 10:41 pm)
Cool! I hope I come into this soon.
(October 25, 2016 - 9:48 am)
yay!

~Barbary Whitewing
It's been three days since I met that girl, Aby. I waited for her by the rocks today, but she never came. I didn't knew where she lived even, so I couldn't like walk up to her house and ask.
Wait.
She was very secretive about where she came from. And also has that strong, pride way them hawks carry themselves.
Could it be?
News on the yellow said that we were going to war with the hawks. I swallowed hard.
Had she been a hawk this whole time?
"Hi." She was out of breath, sitting herself on the rock next to me. I scooted away from her cautiously.
"What took you so long today.....?" I started cautiously.
"Nothing." She said it all too quickly.
I slid farther away, so far that I had to get up to avoid falling off the rock. "What's wronge?" She asked, worry seeping into her voice.
"Your a hawk." The words cracked in my throat. "Aren't you?"
She stared at me for a long moment. We were a few feet away from each other, but her gaze was unblinking. "Yes."
I gasped, loud enough for a few people yo look over at us. But I ignored them. "But it's not what it sounds like!" She added no quickly.
"It sounds exactly what it is. Your a hawk. We're at war with hawks. Aby, you need to leave."
"But...."
"Now! It's for your own safety. Your not safe here. Not even the dove side are you safe during a war. Everywhere. Everywhere they will punish and kill others who don't agree with them. Now go! Before someone sees you."
Eyes stone cold she gets up and walks out of the park. I sigh, releasing all my nerves ans sink back onto the rock. I stare up at the sky. "Not even safe on the dove's side." I whispered to myself.
And then suddenly a shadow interrupts my vision. I turn around and see a tall willowy figure with glasses and hair like fire. "Oh, um, hi, I, um, heard your conversation." I said with a tight smile.
I swallowed hard.
~Quinton Edgewood
The girl stared at me like I was nutzo. Which I kinda was. What was I thinking going up to her like this?! "Um, I, um.....Sorry for eves dropping.......But um......l think it's wrong we are going to war over political parties. Don't you?"
A relieved expedition crossed her eyes. Oh. She thought I was going to challenge her about that. "Um, ya it does seem a little off." I knew she wanted to add, and you sound a little off two! But she had some respect and kept it to herself.
"Anyway, um.....the war is comming up. Any applicable person is recommended to go for it. It gives collage credits so I think I might. It's wronge, you got that right, but but for your sake it's also........"
"But it's also a nother way to secretly meet up with Aby!" She finished for me. "We can get inside each others territories and meet up! Your a geniuses!" She kept up and hitched me. I turned bright red.
"Thanks. I'll go catch up to Abby and tell her."
Then she left, with me staring after her.
(October 25, 2016 - 10:56 pm)
