p style="text-align: left;"Briarlight crouched down. She slowly and silently crept forward. Once she was close, she pounced and landed on the mouse. She quickly killed it. Briarlight let out a yowl of joy and victory./p
p style="text-align: left;"Briarlight blinked open her eyes. She saw the entrance to the medicine cat den. emWhat am I doing here?/em She started to get up, then she remembered what had happened to her legs. She sighed. Everyday it was the same. She'd have a dream about standing, walking, jumping, and running. Then she'd wake up and remember. She'd remember when the tree fell and killed Longtail, and crippled her. emIf I could do it again, I'd still try and save him./em "Will you quit feeling sorry for yourself already and get up?" a voice snapped. Briarlight whirled to see who had spoken. She relaxed when she saw Jayfeather. Briarlight growled defensively," I'm not feeling sorry for myself! I'm..stretching." Jayfeather rolled his blind eyes and continued sorting herbs./p
p style="text-align: left;"Briarlight actually did stretch this time, then she dragged herself outside. She should be use to this by now. She'd been crippled for moons now. Briarlight dragged herself over to the fresh-kill pile and began to eat a mouse. She looked around camp. Millie, her mother, was sharing tongues with Graystripe, her father, Bumblestripe was discussing something with Dovewing, and Blossomfall was eating a vole and talking with Icecloud. Briarlight soon finished the mouse and went back to Jayfeather's den./p
p style="text-align: left;"emWhy did the tree have to fall on my legs? Couldn't Starclan have prevented it? Did they have to claim Longtail as theirs? /em"Do you need any help, Jayfeather?" Briarlight asked. Jayfeather bristeled for a moment, but then his fur laid flat and he sighed," I could use some help sorting these herbs." Briarlight went over and started to sort herbs. When they were almost done, her paw brushed against his and she felt a rush of emotion that surprised her. She looked at Jayfeather, but he was continuing with the sorting. Briarlight saw something in his eyes. Surprise? She shrugged it off and finished up the sorting. She mewed," I'm er-going to get some fresh air." Jayfeather 'looked' at her and nodded. She dragged herself to the entrance of the den and lay next to some ferns outside of it. emWhat was that feeling? Why did I feel that way? I only touched his way. What was it?! Could it possibly be love?/em/p
