AN- I had an awesome idea! A series of Warrior Cats poems, in one story! So, I'm going to start it and see what you guys think of it!

Warrior Cats and all character in it are the intellectual property of the Erin Hunters. Sandstorm Warrior only claims ownership to her own words and ideas.


Cinderpelt's Heart

Sometimes when I lay awake at night I dream

Of all I have lost

Of all I shall never gain

I see myself where I have always known I belonged

In the forest, running after him

But I will never be there

As the monstrous shackles holding me here will never break

The chains that force me into a fate I know I didn't earn

This is not my destiny

This shouldn't have been my life

I am not the cat you know

I never meant to be her

I wanted to have a future

Like I did on the only joyous day of my life

The day I stood next to him

Being told I would be great with his help

My heart has never felt so full, so joyous

So full of a future by his side

I wanted nothing more than to please him

Than to be by his side forever

But my zealousness doomed me

In a flash of metal, my future, my love, my destiny was stolen from me

I will be forever grateful I found a place

That I was able to help

But I never wanted to be who I was forced to become

Anyone could see my pain

With every step I took I felt it

But I hadn't a choice

My only option was to be her

To heal others like I never could have been

She taught me everything she knew

Every herb, every poultice, every concoction

But never did she teach me what I needed to know

I could heal greencough, chills, even diseases no one else knew

But never did I find the remedy for a broken heart

Every time I looked at him, it broke once more

For what could have been

For what should have been

For what I wanted more than anything else

Every time I looked at her, it broke twice over;

She had the only two things I had ever wanted

Freedom and him

But neither would ever be mine

I see that now

But she cannot see the path she has taken

She has faltered and fallen

She cannot accept her fate

To be apart from the one who makes her happiest

I have lived with this

Why can she not, when her pain is so much less than mine?

She has the fate she has always wanted

She is exactly who she has always wanted to be

But she finds it unfair

She thinks her injustice merits fleeing

But she does not understand how little she is suffering

I know I sound a bit full of myself

A bit too critical, too harsh, too concerned with my own feelings

But I find her just as much so

But this is my fate

And I will accept it

Because this is the fate I was given

And I will work to see it through to the end

With all of my heart

So I do not fear this

I know it shouldn't be my time

But it is

And I shall accept it

So goodnight, dear Leafpool

Sorreltail, I wish your kits well

Give Firestar my love

I could not have changed this…

But I can have the courage to accept it…

What- What is going on?

My fate…

Is it being changed?

Please, I cannot go on like this!

Is this my fate?

Is this what it should have been?

So this is what it should have been?

This is joy?

This is fulfillment?

This is love?

Thank you

Thank you for giving me this

Thank you for your life

But this is your life, not mine

So you are free, just as I never was

Live well, love Lionblaze, goodbye dear Cinderheart

It is time for me to leave

Thank you…


AN- I hope you liked it! And understood it. Most of it is an ongoing monologue from Cinderpelt, and then her death, her revival, and her separation from Cinderheart. Tell me who you would like me to write for next!

Thank you for reading!
