I drew this and wrote the story. for Andrew.
This is Sunfang. She was in love with the mate of the other clan's leader. His name was Smokefeather. She met him at the abandoned two leg nest where their territories meet. One day while they were together one of the apprentices from Smokefeather's clan saw them. The apprentice told their leader. The leader in a rage took half of his best warriors to fight Sunfang and Smokestorm. The leader ordered the warriors to circle the little cottage. The warriors burst into the two leg nest, destroying every thing. They found the mates curled up on a dusty and moth-eaten couch. The warriors circled the two, gnashing their teeth at the sight. The leader Runningstar came out from the crowd, trembling with fury. "YOU DARE TAKE MY SMOKEFEATHER AND YOU…,"turning to Smokefeather, "YOU DARED TO BETRAY ME??!!" Runningstar screeched through clenched teeth. The leader launched herself at Sunclaw, ripping her ear. Sunclaw slashed the she-cat's nose. The leader yelped and launched herself onto Sunclaw's leg scraping off fur and skin. Sunclaw flipped RunningStar on to her belly. Her claws dug into the she-cats chest but sharp claws gripped her sides pulling her off. She stumbled out of the house and on to the forest floor. Out came Runningstar, claws glinting in the sun. She dodged just in time for running star to hit the dust and not her side. Runningstar skidded across the lose dirt. Sunclaw flipped on to her paws and clawed at Runningstar's eyes. She yelped when a paw swiped at her jaw. She tasted blood. She looked back at the bloodied body lying on the ground not breathing. It jerked and shrank away on the ground. Then She starters breathing, sucking in unsteady breaths. She felt something brush passed her she turn to look, it was Sootfeather. His fur was stained with scratches and blood. "Run" he whispered nearly under his breath. "But what about you?" She asked. She looked for any doubt or anxiety in his eyes but all she could see was pure love and calmness. "run." he whispered again. "I'll meet you at the dead tree in your territory." She looked into his eyes and gave all her love anxiety pain and great fulness into that stare. She flicked her head at him and ran. No one came after her. She ran and ran until she came to the tree. She laid down on a patch of moss near it to rest. She waited and waited but no one came. Just as the sun was setting, Sootfeather came hobbling out of the woods. His fur tinged red. Was it the sun or was it blood? thought Sunclaw. He collapsed in front of her. "I love you." A parched gasp came from his mouth. He put his head on the moss and closed his eyes. "Nooooo!!!!," screamed Sunclaw.
