Me: I'm honestly still trying to write good Warriors fics, but have almost continually failed. I pray you enjoy this. This is completely Squirrelflight's point of view. And I'm sure this isn't a very original idea. Please forgive me. This is extremely short, and a one-shot.

Why did I do that…? Maybe it was for the best, but I could have said it less harshly. They may not forgive me… they may NEVER forgive me. But the truth hurts, does it not?
I know that I have been making Brambleclaw live a lie, to be proud of kin that were never really his own. Of course, he can be proud of them, but he acts so fatherly, it almost pains me.
I myself have lived a lie. I don't especially enjoy lying, even if it's for the best. (And Ash-fur's death only added to my pain.)
Though I wish I could have told them when their lives weren't in danger.
Hollyleaf, Jaypaw, and Lionblaze should continue their lives in peace, and soon I may tell them of their true parentage. Their mother won't forgive me though.
I am glad to share my feelings with you, and I hope you understand it wasn't very easy.
(Telling the truth when you especially think it's risky is never easy.)
Soon we will have to tell Brambleclaw, too. But he might find out anyway, when the three of them either come storming to him, or walk away in disgust. One thing: They shouldn't be sure he isn't their father, after all. All they know is that I am not their true mother.
My life has taken a dangerous path, one forged with confidence, but traveled with fear.
My wish is that they will continue to live normal, wondrous lives filled with adventure, and put this at the back of their minds.
In short, that is my way of putting it.
