Warrior cat ships

Jayfeather x Brairlight

Brairlight pov:

Brairlight stood in the medicine cat den by herself. Jayfeather had left to gather some herbs so Brairlight was left by herself allowing her to be stuck in her own thoughts. The news of being nearly paralyzed on her bottom half of her whole body struck her by so much surprise so badly, though like countless times before she hid her worry with a simple smile. She knew she couldnt worry anyone around her, especially with how worried and protective her mother got of her after that terrible day.

A memory of the tree falling on her flashed in her mind, 'she was only trying to protect and save Longtail, but like the cruel irony in life as soon as she dared tried to help her hopes were diminished as she heard a sudden cracking sound. She turned petrified of what the sound's source was to find that the source was no other than the tall tree crashing down towards her. She didnt have time to barely run out of the way, but by then it was too late. The moment the tree hit her hind legs her vision blurred along with the rest of her memory of that terrible night...' The imagery in her memory hit a nerve and she found herself suddenly flinching like the memory scratched her across the muzle, and she began to tear up.

Ever since the incident she had been having night terrors and anxiety attacks that constantly vividly reminded her of the event. She wiped her tear away with her paw lecturing herself in her own mind, 'Brairlight stop crying... I... I cant let anyone worry about me... I have to stay strong for my clanmates, right?' Then  suddenly something within her added to her thoughts, 'Of course you pathetic piece of crow food! You are all ready the biggest inconvenience Thunderclan has ever had to deal with, you dont want to cause any more trouble! Look at how selfish you are being, you hit an all time low... Stop being such a pity party!'

Brairlight barely even flinched at the insults her mind called her, used to such manor towards herself for she insulted herself that repeatedly for moons. For like her thoughts said she had to hide that as well, if anyone finds out it will only worry everyone around her even more. Then suddenly a voice abruptly interupted her thoughts, "Brairlight what happened, Is everything alright?"

Brairlight turned to see that the voice belonged to Jayfeather, the cat she became so close to after her incident. Brairlight smiled hiding her sadness and added, "I'm fine, I just had a bad dream that's all..."

Jayfeather's pov:

Carefully I drag the mouth full of herbs I collected and walked inside of camp. I think to myself annoyedly, 'Finally, I got these starcaln forsaken herbs... It took forever just to collect this pathetic escuse of herbs... What a waste of my time when I could have been doing something else... I dont have all day...'

Then a saddened and hopeless thought from somecat in camp echoed through my mind, 'I cant let anyone worry about me... I have to stay strong for my clanmates... You are all ready the biggest inconvenience Thunderclan has ever had to deal with, you dont want to cause any more trouble! Look at how selfish you are being, you hit an all time low... Stop being such a pity party!' The pain and sudden self hatred hit me emotionally for some reason. Usually Im immune to such thoughts, but the cat's voice sounds so familiar it's quiet uncanny. 

Then as if I was hit by a monster of realization I realized the voice belong to my dear old friend, Brairlight. I suddenly regretted in my thoughts, 'I never knew she felt so badly about herself, and that she had been hiding it this whole time...'

Sighing to myself, for I knew what I had to do, I walked in the medicine cat den grudgingly. Usually I hate getting in mouse-brained emotional issues, but something makes me want to help Brairlight despite my usual personality.

When I entered the medicine cat den I could imagine how hollow Brairlight's eyes seemed as she faked a smile. Even her posture was weak and slanted down in defeat, but she seemed to hold together all her pain with one simple smile. I know know the truth behind that smile, but really seeing how much she is struggling really is pulling at my heart strings. I grumble in mu thoughts, 'Stupid feelings, why do you suddenly care so much? Its not like I like her or anything... Or is it? I dont know, but I ain't breaking the medicine cat code anytime like my unloyal mother, Leafpool, who just disregarded us for her own needs and fame... Just... Just act normal and ask her what's wrong. I know how annoying it can be when somecat gets in your business so I dont want to rush her into telling me what's wrong.'

Brairlight seemed hesitant at first and just stayed quite for awhile, filling the medicine cat den in an tension filled eairry silence. Finally she replied staring at the ground trying terribly to hold back tears, "Im fine, really. I just had a bad dream that's all..."

Something inside of me had made me feel even more bad for Brairlight, and that sudden empathy froze me. It was like her pain stabbed me in the heart. Secretly I question in my head, 'What is going on? Why do I feel so bad for Brairlight? Why cant I react, and help her already? Or at least get back to sorting herbs, I dont have all day after all, right? I keep having a strong need to help her through this, it's like I dont want to leave her side... Weird...'

Brairlight pov

Finally I raise my head to face Jayfeather again, but instead of seeing his cold unmoving expressions I saw instead a sudden worried expression. Seeing him so worried I began to feel the fur on my face heat up from blushing slightly. I lectured myself in my mind, 'Brairlight stop being so mouse-brained... After all Jayfeather would never like you and he is a medicine cat so it's against the warrior code. Stop causing a scean, you have to put the other's first.'

I saw Jayfeather sigh for a moment and then he gently sat beside me and added in an unnaturally understanding tone, "Brairlight you are not an inconvenience, you are one of the most amazing cats I've ever known. You are not only the sweetest cat, but also one of the most supportive cats in Thunderclan. Whenever someone feels bad you are the first to help them, while everyone else is to busy you always make time to be there for everyone around you. And everyone in Thunderclan is happy to have you here, and share prey with you anythime. So what if you cant hunt or fight, you will always be the heart of our clan. Especially... Especially to me..."

My face started to blush more, but I tried to ignore the fact as I then thanked sensirely thanked, "Thanks Jayfeather. Your really specail to me too, you are one of my best friends and I dont know what I'd do without you." Jayfeather stayed by my side that night, and I rested my head on his shoulders until I could finally fall to a peaceful sleep for once since the incident.
