Rowanstar padded with Yewberry as he was disgusted with his newest warrior for bumping Tawnypaw's fluffy butt. He was furious with him.
"I am sick of you going around and rolling yourself in she-cats Yewberry, you've only been a warrior for one day and yet you want to get yourself a mate?! I am disgusted with you and your behavior and as your punishment; you will be taking care of the elders. I'm will also not be giving you any apprentices until you grow up as a suitable warrior." Rowanstar shouted at Yewberry. He was fed up with his desire for she's. But he turned away to check on Tawnypaw who was under Shadowstep's care. He peeked into the den to see Tawnypaw in pain.
"It hurts when I move." Tawnypaw complained, she felt a stinging sensation on her rump as Shadowstep applied some herbs to it.
"I know it hurts, you're sore down there." Shadowstep mewed as finished applying the herb mixture that was still good.
"So she admitted that they both bumped fluffy butts." Rowanstar mewed to Shadowstep.
"I hope it's not too bad, I don't want to see Tawnypaw expecting kits, and this would hinder her performance since she is the best cat that we've had in moons." Shadowstep mewed as he turned to the apprentice that was lying in her nest.
"You sure she is just some ordinary cat?" Rowanstar asked. "All cats are the same."
"Different, is what makes ever cat special. She might bring new life to the forest." Shadowstep mewed as he continued to look over Tawnypaw.
"So you've caught wind of the prophecy? Took you long enough." Rowanstar smirked. He turned away as he began to pad away when Shadowstep spoke out.
"Starclan told her directly then they weren't able to talk to us for several days, then I was told about it when you were at the gathering." Shadowstep mewed.
"Then why didn't you tell me in this is the first place?" Rowanstar mewed.
"You were at the gathering when the prophecy was told to me when I was asleep." Shadowstep mewed.
"Then why is Yewberry constantly into she cats?" Tawnypaw asked.
"He constantly is. I feel concern for you and your safety." Shadowstep mewed.
Later that day Crowstorm padded back with some fresh kill he caught by himself. His ears were drooped as he felt lonely. He saw Tawnypaw padded out of the medicine cat's den.
"How are you Tawnypaw, you were in there all day." Crowstorm mewed.
"Yeah Shadowstep had me in that den for all day as he applied something to my rump and he had me lay there all day. I am itching to train again for tomorrow." Tawnypaw mewed happily.
"I am glad to hear about that, anyways there's a finch in the fresh kill pile for you, we'll resume tomorrow morning." Crowstorm mewed as he padded away. He soon mewed something to himself. "I don't blame her for being cooped up in that nest for all day."
Tawnypaw soon padded her way outside of the medicine cat's den as she went to get the finch to eat. Yewberry padded up to her as his face was smiling as he was happy. Yewberry brushed his paw across Tawnypaw's soft fur.
"Why hello Tawnypaw, did you know that we are destined for each other?" Yewberry mewed as he was trying to woo her over.
"Why is that Yewberry?" Tawnypaw asked as she was a bit irritated.
"For one, I think you're attractive, and for two, I'm your only option." Yewberry mewed as he hugged Tawnypaw, Tawnypaw was feeling uncomfortable around Yewberry from last time upon which he was pinning her.
"Oh star-clan can you be with some cat else?" Tawnypaw shouted as she was irritated at Yewberry.
"How about we just start being mates because it's going to happen anyways." Yewberry mewed as he was still smiling.
"Yewberry I'm not going to be your mate just because you're the only cat not related to me." Tawnypaw mewed as she was very irritated now. Yewberry padded away as he was unsatisfied.
"Ugh, anyways, thanks for wasting my time Tawnypaw. I'll get over it, don't worry about me, you're lucky I'm not Ashfur right now, just saying." Yewberry mewed as he padded away. Rosepetal soon padded up to Tawnypaw as she was standing there.
"Why are you so rude to Yewberry all the time, he just likes you. Is that such a crime? Get it together!" Rosepetal shouted. Tawnypaw wasn't listening. "Are you listening to me?"
"Don't bother her at this point, she's just irritated from being in that den. After all, Yewberry was trying to rape her last night." Crowstorm mewed.
"How is that so, my apprentice would never do such a thing." Rosepetal mewed as she said Yewberry was a perfect angel.
"Rowanstar told me about it. And Yewberry is far from perfect, he's quite the opposite." Crowstorm mewed.
"So you're saying my apprentice is bad?" Rosepetal mewed as she was getting angry.
"Yes he is, no wonder he's been delayed his warrior's ceremony for so many moons since he keeps getting himself into trouble and just because he's a warrior means that he can get away scot free and continue his bad habits, I feel worried about Tawnypaw now." Crowstorm mewed telling Rosepetal mewed as he wanted to tell her that she was wrong.
"Tell Yewberry he's allowed any she-cat that he wants." Rosepetal hissed as she was super irritated.
"I'm willing to make Yewberry an apprentice again if you wish." Rowanstar threatened her to strip Yewberry of his rank. "We often want to hold strict rules for the warrior code so everything runs smoothly; I would like to see you run the clan." Rosepetal was speechless, she soon padded away as she knew she couldn't take on Rowanstar.
"Thanks for helping me stand up for Tawnypaw." Crowstorm mewed.
"You're very welcome; I'm also concerned for her as well. As well as I'm concerned for Yewberry and Rosepetal and her strange turn of behavior." Rowanstar mewed as he was concerned with her as well.
A few days passed by and nothing important have happened, other than Yewberry trying to pressure Tawnypaw into becoming his mate. She continuously turned him down as she didn't like him. She and Crowstorm were padding alongside Shadowclan's border. Pebblestar, Robinpaw and Falconwing had agreed to meet with them in secret to discuss what happened last night.
"So what happened last night?" Crowstorm asked.
"We received news that the territory in the swamp has escalated as Riverclan and Windclan had stood out in a face off as they shouted at each other. Luckily they agreed to back off before the conflict could escalate any further and start an all-out war." Falconwing mewed.
"Are you all right Tawnypaw, you seem bothered." Robinpaw mewed.
"It's about Yewberry." Tawnypaw mewed.
"About him, he seemed to feel free reign as he's no longer an apprentice, he padded up to our territory and we tried to drive him away but he didn't go away." Pebblestar mewed.
"I know, things are going wrong quickly." Crowstorm mewed.
"It's normal that clans want more territory plus Thunderclan and Riverclan rarely use the swamp for hunting since it's very dangerous there to begin with. For all that we know is that we can just let Windclan have the entire swamp to begin with. Some from Riverclan and some from Thunderclan and they can have more food than they could deal with, after all, the water is receding at the swamp since most of the water has flowed out of it. Big animals such as bears, wolves and Wolverines patrol there for the abundance of big prey. Windclan will have a field day when they are going to have the entire swamp." Pebblestar mewed.
"What's the catch?" Crowstorm mewed curiously as he wanted to make sure that this offer was full proof.
"If Windclan attacks Riverclan after we give them the swamp, it means war to try to teach Briarstar a lesson. Even if Riverclan is looking for the most diplomatic way to solve their problems, we will always have their back." Pebblestar mewed.
"And you know about this is?" Crowstorm mewed as he was a bit puzzled about what Pebblestar meant.
"We sent Falconwing and Robinpaw over to Riverclan last night to speak with Ravenstar on how we can prevent Windclan and Skyclan from annexing a mouse length of territory from Windclan. Since Riverclan never hunts in the swamp, we might as well give it to Windclan and Ravenstar agreed with 24 out of 6 cats voting excluding the kits and apprentices." Pebblestar mewed. "Anyways we need you, Tawnypaw and Rowanstar to help participate in our next debate with the Riverclan as we think about the consequences if Briarstar decides to take over the rest of Riverclan."
"When?" Crowstorm asked.
"A couple of days from now, we need more cats to describe their opinions so we can get more points of view." Pebblestar mewed. Soon Tawnypaw began to puke out the remains of her fresh kill. It was clear she was sick. "Is Tawnypaw sick?"
"I think she might, she has been complaining about a bellyache since this morning." Crowstorm mewed.
"Oh we should send her over to have her treated by Mudpool, she always has the answer to a lot of the problems. I think the sickness is going to get worse before it gets better." Robinpaw mewed as he helped a sicken Tawnypaw to her paws. "I got you, let's get you treated. He soon helped her along with him as he was making sure she would make it without passing out.
[A/N]: Before I would like to end this chapter off I would like to say thank you to Grayshadow Warrior for a review that caught me off guard. And to answer your question, yes it happened and second I don't think I will try to break the story's continuity anytime soon as I would rather focus on trying to prevent a war between all the clans since Briarstar is trying to annex all of Riverclan territory for her greed.
Also which tom do you think makes the best ship with Tawnypaw? Yewberry, Crowstorm or Robinpaw. Review if you want to voice your opinion if you want to see this story go in another direction. I don't think Tawnypaw really likes Yewberry since he might be this story's version of Bumblestripe. Keep reading if you want more. Cheers.
