Sasha's not gonna' write Tigerstar a love song
"Join me, Sasha," Tigerstar whispered, his voice softer than a falling leaf, amber eyes as alluring as cool water in the heat of the day. "Join ShadowClan."
"Wh- What?" I stammered, trembling all over at just the though of it. I saw myself in those deep amber pools, and I looked terrified.
Head underwater,
And you tell me to breathe easy for a while.
I can't! Yet… there's something about him… how he makes me feel… My heart still races every time I see him, I still shiver under his touch. Every time he stares at me with his dark eyes, I still feel myself get flush hot. You can only find love like that once in your short lifetime.
"Are you OK?" Tigerstar's burnished eyes searched me. My eyes were downcast, but I felt his stare burning through my fur. I shuffled my paws on the forest floor, which was strewn with autumn leaves. The dead leaves split under my paws. Just like my heart I thought with an ache.
Temptation hit me with the force of a boulder, but I quickly forced it down.
NO! You know what he's planning! I shrieked at myself.
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
"Yeah," I replied gently, forcing myself to squash the wave of panic and fear. I willed my bristling fur to flatten, and my breath to regulate. I couldn't breathe; the blood pounded in my ears, and I shrank under his stare again.
"So?" Tigerstar's eyes flashed dangerously "You're answer?"
"I…" I faltered.
Made room for me, but its too soon to see,
If I'm happy in your hands
"Is… Is there room?" I asked lamely, desperateness for an excuse overwhelming me, pushing me on the brink of panic.
"Of course," he purred silkily in amusement. A spark of uncertainly hit me. Would I be happy? Everyone in ShadowClan were so kind to me, they made me feel at home. Clan life seemed almost ideal.
Almost.
I'm unusually hard to hold on to
I lived to wander; to live on my own, to run through the woods without the weight of a Clan on my shoulders. I would not last long in the difficult hierarchy. I would not last long with a killer.
Blank stares at, blank pages,
No easy way to say this,
You mean well, but you make this hard on me
"Hurry up, now," Tigerstar said perilously, quickly losing patience.
In a surge of certainty, I knew what I had to say.
"No," I said; my voice wavered at first, tinged with doubt. My body trembled. But I took a deep breath and righted myself "No," I declared again, my voice clear and even for the first time that night.
"What?" Tigerstar asked, his voice menacing and wicked. His luring amber gaze changed into cold, hard bits of rock. He was clearly not used to be opposed. I shrank for a split second. But I was not a coward. Shy, maybe, but everything that has happened to me made me brave and strong.
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you asked for it,
'Cause you need one, you see,
I'm not gonna write you a love song,
'Cause you tell me, it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you, to stay
If all you have is leaving,
I'mma need a better reason
To write you, a love song, today
"I said, no," I said with infinitely more force, drawing my self up, closing the deal. "I know what you're planning, Tigerstar," I spat "You want to take over the whole forest." I was on a roll, and had no intention of stopping. "I saw the ever-so-evil Firestar explaining to YOUR SON AND DAUGHTER why you are ShadowClan leader," the breeze ruffled my fur, and I raised my chin fractionally to look Tigerstar into his icy eyes. "How many cats did you kill?" I asked malignantly.
Tigerstar's mouth was agape, the only state of vulnerability I've ever seen in him. As I stared defiantly into the amber eyes I was once so drawn to, he collected him self "You're making a big mistake," he snarled, curling his lip to show immaculately sharp teeth.
I laughed a cold, hard, laugh "No, I'm certainly not. Good bye, Tigerstar."
I left.
Promise me you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me because I say
I won't write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
Is that why you wanted a love song
'Cause you asked for it?
'Cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this
If you're on your way
I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it
I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas when I believe that there's a reason to
Write you a love song today
Today
I could never be with someone I knew was a cold-blooded killer. Just never… If I had known, maybe his kits wouldn't be stirring in me.
Well yeah, that was my SECOND fanfic. Kinda short, but I tried to capture the emotions of Sasha... so tell me what you think! OBVIOUSLY I don't own Warriors, Sasha, Tigerstar, or Love Song. :D
