Squirrelflight & Brambleclaw

Bramblestar- Droplets

                 Bramblestar ran after her, never letting the sound of her pawsteps nor her scent slip away from him. He wasn't going to lose her, not this time anyway. 

You left a mark
I wear it proudly on my chest

  Above my heart  

                 Yes, he wasn't afraid to admit it, he was proud to have raised such beautiful kits with Squirrelflight and to see what they had become today made him even more proud, he was proud of the memories shared with Squirrelflight throughout all those moons, as well as the memories of the journey to the sun- drown place to find new homes for their clans. All in all, he was glad to have shared those memories with Squirrelflight, the only cat he would've only shared it with had he had a choice. 

To Remind me that I feel the best

                  He sighed, was Jessy really worth letting Squirrelflight go? 

When I'm with you  

                  He missed Squirrelflight, truly missed her, like he's never missed any other cat before- not even his own sister Tawnypelt. She had brought out the best in him- until he found out she lied, which then caused him to shut her out. But he couldn't deny that she still did bring out the best in him, especially in choices a leader needs to make in day- to- day clan life. 

Everything is effortless
You know it's true  

                   He knew he'd be lying to himself if he said he didn't need Squirrelflight's presence- hence why he was currently chasing her. He needed her to help him with clan life, he needed her advice, her supportive nature- not that Jessy wasn't supportive, it's just that Jessy was.....different. But most importantly, he needed her companionship which he had known he had lost the moment he decided to give her a cold shoulder. She made difficult things in life easy  with her quick thinking and he knew Squirrelflight knew that too. 

 My eyes are painted with regret  

                   Bramblestar was relieved that it was dark in this tunnel so that there would be no cat or animal present to see the regret in his eyes, regret that he had let Squirrelflight go, that he had chosen the easy way out of their relationship, thus leading to her and Greenfern's relationship. He stumbled accidentally as his right paw hit some hard thing jutting out of the ground. "Stone," Bramblestar muttered angrily, his right paw throbbed in pain as he continued running. He needed to concentrate here, or he'd be losing his claws next!

And I don't need it

                   Suddenly, he smelt rain ahead of him and his pulse quickened in excitement, there was an end to this tunnel after all! He propelled himself as fast as possible, he couldn't wait to get out of this cold, damp place. His head swam with images of Squirrelflight, probably he could rescue her from this place? Probably then she would want him back? 

   Cause I'm walkin down this road alone and figured all I'm thinking bout is you,

                     His heart expanded as he thought of the possibility that Squirrelflight would love him back again. The word love nearly caused him to stop running and freeze, it was a very strong word to use and the fact that he could think of Squirrelflight loving him again showed him his desperation for her. Was he really that desperate? He thought to himself.

 is you my love

                 The fresh scent of rain seem to be getting stronger and just when he looked to the left he could see a faint light lighting up a cavern. "So this tunnel leads to a cavern," Bramblestar thought with delight. He tried to look for Squirrelflight but he couldn't see her, she must've ran into the rain which was already trickling down to a drizzle. He hesitated, he simply hated being out in the rain, then another thought flashed through his mind, he had to look for Squirrelflight and bring her back safely to the clan. He owed her that, at least. 

  And my head is in a cloud of rain  

                       His head was getting wet and he flicked his tail in annoyance. Looking up, he saw a huge hole gaping down at him- but it was very high. He looked down again and that's when he saw her.

And the world it seems so far away

                   And all he could think about was burying his nose in her fur.   

And I'm just waiting to fall and sink into your fur

                 Fat. Chance. But still, he could imagine, couldn't he?

  You are like the raindrops, the raindrops falling down on me

               Just then, Squirrelflight seemed to realize he was there and the world seemed to hush into silence as Squirrelflight caught his gaze- and held it.
