A dark grey queen flinched as a large silver tom stood over her, "How could you do this?!" the tom spat,
"Father, please, let me explain," the she-cat pleaded,
"Why should I?" the tom spat again, his neck fur rising, "you broke the warrior code!" he hissed as he ran his claws through her left ear, shredding the top of it, "father please!" the she-cat pleaded once again as tears began running down her cheek as a medium sized grey tom burst into the den and slammed into the large silver tom, knocking him away from the queen, his tail lashing furiously, "what do you think you're doing to Shadeclaw!" he spat, standing over the dark striped tabby, her ear bleeding heavily, "Silkfur, please, I don't want you to get hurt," Shadeclaw whimpered as she shrank back further into the den, trying to escape from her father, "What are you doing here!" the silver tom spat at Silkfur, Silkfur sighed as his tail lashed from side to side, with his claws unsheathed, "Can I not visit my mate without being questioned!" he spat back furiously. The silver tom narrowed his eyes as he hissed at the cat in front of him, "So you're the mouse-brained cat who has cursed my daughter to bear your half-blood kits!" he yowled as he leaped at Silkfur,
"Snowstar! You're being unreasonable!" Silkfur growled as he swiftly dodged the tom, having him land hard onto the ground, "I AM being perfectly reaso-," he spat back as he was abruptly cut off by one of Shadeclaw's paws slamming into the side of his head with her claws unsheathed, slicing deep cuts in his cheek, one of them running over his eye. Snowstar yowled in pain as he swiped his claws at Shadeclaw's shoulder but missed. Shadeclaw spat at her father, "if you're going to make such a fuss about it," she broke off, "then, I'm leaving Ice Clan!" with her tail low, she ran from the IceClan nursery with Silkfur close behind. Snowstar exited the den, in time to see them leaving through the brambled entrance of the camp, "Shadeclaw!" he yowled as blood dripped from his face.
"Shadeclaw! Wait up!" Silkfur mewed, "where are you going?" he asked as she slowed down to stand next to him, both of them panting, Shadeclaw Shrugged, "I don't know," she replied sadly pressing her muzzle into her mates fur, looking at the snow covered ground. Silkfur rested his tail on her back as he nuzzled her side, "come back to my clan," he replied quietly, "once they know the story Sharpstar is sure to let you stay, maybe you could join the clan permanently," he suggested as Shadeclaw sighed again and looked up at him,
"you think so?" she asked, her eyes glistening with hope, Silkfur nodded,
"it's worth a shot," he mewed as he led them towards EarthClan territory.
