WARNING: This might be a sensitive subject for some people.

ShadeClan:

Snowyblossom- A slender, long and silky haired pure white she-cat with clear crystal blue eyes

ShiningClan:

Beesong- A small, dark gray/almost black tabby tom with bright yellow eyes

Quick Explanation:

So, in this story, the Clans are ShiningClan, ShadeClan, CrystalClan and IceClan.
The system in this story is the exact same as normal warriors, except for one major change. There is one royal family in each Clan. Only those in the royal family can become leaders and are chosen every generation by the past leader. The royal family is respected and treated like royalty. Of course, this can lead to evil, unfair leaders but StarClan usually takes care of those stuff, so it’s not much of a problem. There are usually up to 2-5 cats in the royal family.
This “thing” was created from the very start, when cats were fighting to become leader, but now the cats find it unnecessary. Everyone is unhappy with this, but don’t want to go against StarClan’s will.
Deputies and medicine cats are chosen by StarClan. Deputies are usually the best cat in the Clan and hold a lot of power and will remain the deputy until they die.
Forbidden relationships are strictly banned and the cat may be killed for breaking it. (I know, it’s messed up. I might even do a second series about the future cats fixing the problem)
You can’t have relationships with; cats from other clans, medicine cats and also the royal family MUST have kits with someone else in the royal family, which most of the time is their siblings or even their parents sometimes.
One cat in the royal family is picked when the kits of the royal family become warriors and will remain in the royal family and become leader and their siblings will be kicked out of the family, unless they get married with the chosen cat.
Which results in royal family consisting of the leader, their mate and occasionally their kits or their parents or the to-be leader and their mate.

So Beesong was born into the royal family of ShiningClan. He was an only child, so the ShiningClan leader/his mother Rosestar picked him to become leader. (Note: Rosestar is evil, but hides it well. Also, his father was secretly murdered by his mother)
Unfortunately, he fell in love with a cat named Snowyblossom, who was the medicine cat of ShadeClan. What’s even worse is that ShiningClan was ancient enemies with ShadeClan which makes it the worst possible combination ever.
Anyways, everyone found out and Rosestar tried to kill them but they escaped and now they are running away to a better place.

Chapter One:

The blazing sun wavered at the edges of the hills as it slowly dipped down the sky. Two shapes left a trail of trampled grass behind them as they treaded along the seemingly never ending fields of lush plants. Flowers lit up in a eerie orange light, hidden between the green stalks of grass. “How can such agony exist in such a beautiful world?” Snowblossom wondered sadly, brushing against the tall sunflowers growing high above the rest. She pressed her pelt, exhausted, to a small dark gray tom as they stepped onwards. Beesong’s eyes were dull, his fur mangled as if he hadn’t groomed it in moons and his fur filthier than any rat, debris sticking to his pelt. A small pang of guilt weighed in her stomach was she was reminded again of all the things he had done for her while she was injured. Snowyblossom shook her head to clear the incoming memories as a sharp pain up her foot distracted her from her thoughts and she lifted one dirty blood stained paw. Close up, a claw was missing from the paw and blood and mud was caked onto the wound, almost hiding the large cut. One ripped up piece of fern was covering the wound, but it hardly covered the injury. There was a constant agonising throb pounding in the wound. She stopped for a moment to lick her foot, gently soothing the pain. “Does it hurt?” Beesong asked, his soft yellow eyes full of worry as he examined her paw. “I’m fine,” Snowyblossom looked away, “I used to be ShadeClan’s medicine cat for StarClan’s sake.” “I know,” Beesong whispered, “But it hurts me to see you in such pain.” Snowyblossom felt Beesong’s breath warming her neck fur was he put his head close to hers. “H-how’s the infection?” he asked gently. She sighed, “The infection is getting worse. Without proper treatment, I might even die.” “I thought you said the infection was getting better!” Beesong’s eyes widened, shocked. “It’ll be fine,” Snowyblossom refused to meet his eyes as they reached a steep slope, “After all we’ve been gone through, I can’t just die now, can I?” She picked up her pace, only to stumble onto her side as she flopped down, unable to go further due to pain and exhaustion. A sudden searing pang of pain burned in her chest and grew more painful, until she could hardly breathe. “I-I can’t go any further,” Snowyblosso, squinted her eyes and winced as the dappled red light glistened on her frosty pelt. The blazing sun was like a burning fire to Snowyblossom, drying the mud stuck to her pelt and hardening the blood splattered across her body. “Just try to go a bit further, Snowyblossom,” the Beesong whispered, “There’s a cave we can rest at a little further.” His eyes were full of agony and clearly he was disagreeing with his words. “Beesong,” Snowyblossom rasped, trembling violently , “Did you not hear me? I don’t think I can go any further. I feel as if I’m going to collapse any second.” Snowblossom looked sadly at Beesong, her clear blue eyes glinting behind her ragged white fur. Her chest was rising up and down rapidly. Beesong looked back at Snowyblossom, speechless, and smiled weakly, “What happened to the Snowyblossom I knew? She used to have more energy than ten apprentices put together.” Snowyblossom’s eyes fogged with memories, as if she was remembering a forgotten past. “That was a long time ago” she murmured, “Now, things are different.” She looked up at the sunset, and the grief in her face was as clear as day. Beesong followed Snowyblossom’s gaze, his face unreadable. “Come on,” Beesong gently nudged Snowyblossom forwards, flicking his tail over her mangled pelt in comfort. Snowyblossom grunted as she heavily stood up again, and took a step forwards. The two set off again, agonisingly slow, but still making progress. “They can’t chase us forever, can they?” Snowyblossom mewed softly, looking behind her, as they walked on. Beesong looked doubtful, a shadow casting on his face. “Rosestar will do anything to kill us. She won’t let us go as easily as that.” “So, does that mean we’ll travel like this forever?” Snowyblossom wondered, “Just you and me, just barely surviving, always hurting and starving?” “In a few moons, we’ll move to a nice new place with lots of prey,” Beesong promised, “Somewhere where they can never find us.” “A place with clean water, juicy prey and tall trees,” Snowyblossom sighed, “A place we’ve been dreaming of for seasons.” “And where we can have kits together,” Beesong breathed, wonder in his eyes. They trudged along in silence as shadows started to cover the ground and the moon rose up, glowing with faint light. After a while, Snowyblossom could spot the outline of a small cave and as they got closer, she could spot small pebbles piled on top of the ground. Snowyblossom was panting heavily, her paws dragging along, getting caked with mud as she went along. Snowyblossom could feel the coolness of the dry grass beneath their pads and the sharp rocks as they went under a vast rocky overhang that formed rippling shadows on their pelts. As they got closer, she could also spot moss and vines climbing around the surface of the cave and broken shards of rock scattered around the place. The entrance of the cave was as dark as night and gave off an unusual smell. Snowyblossom cautiously sniffed the air, weary. “Are you sure there’s nothing here?” “I can’t scent anything out of the ordinary,” Beesong replied, “And besides, we have nowhere else to stay.” He glanced at the stars starting to glow in the sky, the moon shining brightly. “We have to risk it.” “I guess it won’t hurt…” Snowyblossom staggered a little, her eyes drooping with tiredness. Beesong took one look at her state and without another word, both of them entered the cave, their paw steps barely making a sound as they reached the surface of the cold stone ground. As they entered the cave, Snowyblossom could hear the gentle trickle of water as the rock beneath became damper. Her dry throat nearly cried with happiness at the thought of finally drinking some water. “There must be a pool nearby,” Beesong mewed, his yellow eyes glowing with excitement. His footsteps grew a little faster as he continued through the cave towards the sound. The sound of gushing water was a lot more clearer now and Snowyblossom could glimpse the surface of a rippling pool of what seemed like magical water. The cry for water became even more unbearable and she gulped to keep herself calm. Beesong was already trotting ahead, reaching the glistening pool and dipping his head to take a sip. Snowyblossom could feel the icy cold spray of water as she reached a pile of wet rocks only a few tail lengths from the water. After what seemed like moons to her, she finally arrived and immediately plunged her head into the water. The freezing water was like soothing honey to her, flowing past her throat and giving her new energy. Some of the blood and mud washed off her too, creating red stains of the smooth wet stone. Both her and Beesong settled down near the pool, sticking their wet pelts together near some lonely plants.

They were so distracted that they didn’t notice a thump of footsteps and a tall dark shadow looming over them as they closed their eyes…

Chapter Four
Dovepaw ran into the Apprentice Clearing, followed by her sister, Cloudpaw, and their mentors, Scorchflame and Infernofeather. Dovepaw and Cloudpaw had all their lessons together, as their mentors were mates. They had finished hunting and could now hunt rabbits, falcons, wrens, robins, and more birds. Rabbits are not birds, but Dovepaw and Cloudpaw could hunt them anyway.
“Okay, today we’re going to learn how to go under a cat’s belly and bite one of their legs and dash away before they can get you,” Smokeflame meowed, “You two look like you won’t be very bulky, ’cause some WingClan cats, like myself, are, and can’t do that, so that’s why we’re teaching you this.”
“I’ll show you by going under Smokeflame and not really bite him,” Infernofeather meowed, as she had a big but thin build, just like Dovepaw and Cloudpaw were growing into. Dovepaw and Cloudpaw nodded eagerly.
“Okay, I’ll pretend to be an evil IceClan cat,” Smokeflame meowed, “And Infernofeather will attack me.” Infernofeather darted under Smokeflame and pretended to bite his back leg. Smokeflame spun around, but Infernofeather was quick, and she slipped around him before he could get her. Then, with her claws sheathed, she lept onto Scorchflame’s back, scratching it, claws still sheathed.
“Okay, now it’s your turn, but remember: No real biting or scratching!” Scorchflame meowed. Dovepaw and Cloudpaw nodded. Infernofeather took Cloudpaw across the clearing to do it, and Dovepaw stayed with Scorchflame, her mentor.
“I’ll be an evil IceClan cat, and we’re fighting, okay?” Scorchflame meowed.
“Got it,” Dovepaw meowed. While Scorchflame was positioning himself, Dovepaw snuck under him and pretended to bite his back leg. But she wasn’t quick enough. Scorchflame spun around and pinned her down.
“Pinned ya, try again,” Scorchflame meowed as he got off of Dovepaw. Dovepaw tried again. She went under him and pretended to bite his leg. Scorchflame spun around, and Dovepaw was quicker. With sheathed claws, she jumped onto his back and scratched it. Then when he tried to roll onto his belly, Dovepaw let him, and she pinned him.
“Nice work, Dovepaw!” Scorchflame meowed.
“We’re done, are you?” Infernofeather asked.
“Yes, we are,” Scorchflame meowed.
“Can we do another lesson?” Cloudpaw asked.
“Please?” Dovepaw added.
“Oh alright,” Infernofeather agreed, “This one is fun. So, when a cat has you pinned, you lift up your legs and kick them off, and then you pin them! It’s called the old pin trick. Oldest trick in the whisker.”
“I’ll show you,” Scorchflame meowed.
“I’ll pretend to be an evil SeaClan cat, and Scorchflame has to pin me, but I have him pinned down,” Infernofeather meowed. Scorchflame and Infernofeather adjusted themselves. Scorchflame kicked Infernofeather off and pinned her down.
“Now you two try,” Scorchflame meowed as he got off of Infernofeather. Once again, Infernofeather took Cloudpaw across the clearing, and Dovepaw and Scorchflame stayed in the same spot.
“I’ll be an evil SeaClan cat who has you pinned down,” Scorchflame meowed. Dovepaw nodded and slipped under Scorchflame. She tried to kick him off(with sheathed claws), but he was too heavy.
“It’s okay, maybe you should try it with more force,” Scorchflame meowed, “Keep your claws sheathed, though.” Dovepaw nodded and tried again. With her claws sheathed, she kicked Scorchflame off, ran over to him, and pinned him down.
“Nicely done, Dovepaw!” Scorchflame meowed. Dovepaw got off, and Infernofeather and Cloudpaw padded over.
“It’s getting dark, we should head back to camp,” Infernofeather meowed. Scorchflame nodded in agreement. When they got to camp, Dovepaw ate a rabbit and curled up next to Cloudpaw in the Apprentices Den. She was worn out.
Well, if I become Queen, I’ll be worn out everyday, Dovepaw thought, But I don’t mind now and I don’t think I’ll mind then.
