Another challenge from clans of the seasons. A cat is shocked to find that other cat from their Clan is mates with a cat from a different clan. That cat loves the other and is not sure if they should tell the Clan and betray their lover, or watch them grow distant from them.

Heartbreak and betrayal

Emberheart sat outside watching the moon shinning it's light on her. She had betrayed him, she betrayed her friend, the one she loved. Emberheart found her self curl into a tighter ball as she remembered everything she didn't want to remember.

Emberheart caught sight of Stormclaw leave the camp. She couldn't help but follow him, he was her friend and she was extremely curious. She also cared deeply about Stormclaw.

She followed him all the way to the ShadowClan border. What was he doing here? He wasn't hunting or checking the borders, it looked like he was going to meet someone. Emberheart found her mind racing through all the reason's he was there, they weren't pretty.

Then a she-cat came from the ShadowClan side of the border and Stormclaw's face lit up with joy. Emberheart felt her heart shatter, why did she have to be right. Stormclaw was breaking the warrior code, his mate was a ShadowClan cat.

"Whitestrip I've missed you so much" Stormclaw said much to Emberheart's sorrow.

"So have I Stormclaw." Whitestrip said with a smile that was as bright as StarClan

"My clanmates keep trying to get me a mate," Stormclaw said and Whitestrip's smile fell "However I only have eyes for you."

Whitestrip smiled again and asked "Do they have any one in mind"

"Don't let small matters bother you my dear." Stormclaw told her.

"I'm just curious my love" Whitestrip said

"Just like the she-cat I'm told would be my perfect mate. I don't know if you know Emberheart" Stormclaw said making the she-cat in question let out a small gasp. Other cats had said they would be perfect together. If she had known this a moon ago she would have been over the moon, but now her heart was wounded and would never heal again.

"I've never heard of her. Do you care for her?" Whitestrip asked.

"We are friends, very close friends." Stormclaw admitted making Emberheart smile much to her annoyance.

"I see" Whitestrip said her smile slightly faltering

"Is everything ok?" Stormclaw said noticing Whitestrip's distress.

"I'm just worried you might leave me." Whitestrip said her eyes glistening

"I love you to much to leave you" Stormclaw said nuzzling her

Emberheart couldn't help she jumped out of her bush. Stormclaw's jaw dropped while Whitestrip stiffened. Emberheart suddenly froze, this was a horrid idea. Stormclaw was glaring at her and Whitestrip looked like wanted to tear her into shreds

"Emberheart." Stormclaw said barley managing to say her name.

"This is Emberheart!" Whitestrip shouted

Emberheart found herself shouting at her friend "I can't believe you Stormclaw, you broke the warrior code! I'm telling Vixenstar!" She turned around and walked away to the camp. Stormclaw got up and blocked her path

"You can't do it! Please Emberheart, we have to protect our kits!" Stormpelt said in desperation. Emberheart froze and looked at Whitestrip, the she cats belly was swollen with unborn kits, how did she not notice! Emberheart's heart turned to stone.

"You should have thought about that before breaking the code."

Stormclaw was now a rouge and Whitestrip was dead, killed by a fox before her kits were born.

Emberheart began to cry. She may have been loyal to her clan but her heart was destroyed.
