The orange and black cat in the back is Tigerstripe, the faded cat in front is Nightfur. Nightfur- Thunderclan she-cat. Tigerstripe- Shadowclan tom. Redleaf- Nightfur's mother, turns out to be evil. Darkwind- Thunderclan tom hired by Redleaf to kill Tigerstripe. - story - Nightpaw met a Shadowclan cat Tigerpaw at a Gathering. It was love at first sight, but they didn't know it. Even though they didn't know they loved each other, they kept on sneeking out of their camps at night and seeing each other at the border. Then one day, Tigerpaw- now Tigerstripe- came across the border to give Nightpaw a rose that he had found. Nightpaw saw him and told him about an apprentice called Beetlepaw who would call war at a tuft of Shadowclan fur. Tigerstripe didn't leave fast enough, and Beetlepaw saw him. Tigerstripe ran, and the leader of the patrol reported to the leader. The leader called a battle and Thunder clan won in the end, but only Nightpaw didn't celebrate. She had swiped her claws across Tigerstripe's face in the battle, overtaken by the fighting instinct. She cried in her nest. The next day, she went out to hunt by herself before dawn and bumped into Tigerstripe on the way deeper into the forest. She saw the bright red scars that she left on his face, and told him that she had promised never to hurt him. He asked why and she admitted that she loved him. He said he loved her as well, but then Redleaf called from the camp to come back, so Nightpaw ran. It turns out that it was Nightpaw's warrior ceremony so then she was Nightfur. Tigerstripe and Nightfur kept on seeing each other after that, even more frequently than before. Once, Redleaf caught sight of them together. Redleaf couldn't break them up herself- she was too old. So insteqad she hired a younger warrior, Darkwind to kill Tigerstripe hoping that Nightfur would forget about him afterawards. Darkwind saw Tigerstripe in the deep forest where the sun never shone. They battled. It was a long hard fight, but Darkwind won with a winning swipe across his throut and ran as Nightfur came through the bushes. that part of the forest was where Tigerstripe and Nightfur and had agreed to meet. This is a picture of what happened when Nightfur found Tigerstripe laying almost dead in the forest. She ran to his side and begged him to die. "You are all I have," she had cried. He told her that she was expecting his kits so he would live in them. "It will never be the same," she said. But, Tigerstripe didn't respond. His eyes were blank, staring at the dark leaves of the trees- he was dead. Nightfur shrieked for him to stay with her stay, but he couldn't hear her. She turned and sobbed while blindly digging a deep hole. She dragged Tigerstripe's body to the hole and dropped it in. Then she ran back to camp. I havn't thought of anything after that, but I will give you chapters of my book, Nightfur's Destiny, when it's done. Thanks for watching. A message from Nightfur- I am still sobbing over losing Tigerstripe, but he was right. He lives on in his kits, Wildkit, Petalkit, Frostkit and Tigerkit. Tigerkit looks excactly like his father so I chose his name so that I would never forget my one love.
