TawnyxBlack, a request from Snowfrost


It was a cold leaf-dare day, Tawnypelt was out on patrol with her mate Rowanclaw, her best friend Snowbird, and her son Tigerheart. The dark tortoiseshell she-cat was thankful for the lush pine trees that grow in ShadowClan's territory and thinking it was better cover then ThunderClan's maple, birch, and other trees that lost their leaves when leaf-fall came around. The patrol came to a stop when Rowanclaw start to sniff the air.

"I think I scent a rouge... I will go check it out." The ginger warrior announced started to head off, but before Tawnypelt could say anything the ShadowClan deputy was out of sight.

"I'll go incase he needs back up." Tawnypelt nodded to her patrol before following her mate.

Rowanclaw walked till he came to a small clearing, there she saw a spotted silver tabby she-cat. It was a rouge, but when Rowanclaw came in sight of the she-cat he didn't attack. He ran up to her with warm eyes and happily rubbed his muzzle against her. Sorrow clouded Tawnypelt's green eyes as she saw the love in the two cats's eyes. Turning around the dark tortoiseshell she-cat ran, she ran as fast as her paws could carry her. Teas falling from her eyes clouded her vision and she soon ran into Blackstar.

"Tawnypelt!? Is everything ok?" Blackstar asked, worry in her amber eyes.

"No... It's Rowanclaw... he.. he.." Tawnypelt whispered, but stop herself from saying more. She knew that what Rowanclaw was doing was braking the warrior code, but she couldn't bring her self to say it out loud.

"What did Rowanclaw do? Is he cheating on you, and if so with whom?" The large white tom asked pressing his pelt close to hers.

"Y..yes... I seen him with another she-cat..." Tawnypelt managed to get those words out, but what shocked her the most was when Blackstar started to lick her cheek. Trying to lick up her teas.

"Tawnypelt!? What are you doing with Blackstar!?" A shocked voice demanded.

The two cats looked up to see Rowanclaw looking at then with wide eyes.

"What where you doing with that she-cat! With that rouge!?" Tawnypelt snapped, forgetting that Blackstar was there. "I thought you loved me!" she soon added.

"I did... but now I love Frost." Rowanclaw answered, he was about to say more when Blackstar growled.

"You pick a rouge as your mate when you have a beautiful loyal she-cat that has had your kits!? You not only betrayed Tawnypelt but you broke the warrior code, and with a crime like that you should no longer be deputy." Blackstar snarled, glaring at the ginger tom.

Latter that day Rowanclaw lost his post as deputy, in his place was Dawnpelt. The cream she-cat had just gotten an apprentice not to long ago, Ivytail's kit Birdpaw. Blackstar had been there for Tawnypelt whenever he could.
