A/N) Whee, Ashfur! (don't hate me, I love all three. Squirrelflight, Brambleclaw, and Ashfur. I just thought that Ashfur would be more fun to write) POOF. It turned into this emotional mess right here. Character death, character death...
Do you remember when you left me, hurt was in my eyes? Did you even look into my eyes at that time, trying to see how I felt? I stared at yours, your beautiful emerald eyes, even as you bent your head in definite apology, saying that we couldn't be together anymore. When I tried to ask why, you just bowed your head lower, tears leaking out of the corner of your eyes, and turned tail before running away. I had stared at your retreating back brokenly, wondering: What had happened to the Squirrelflight I knew? What happened to the fierce she-cat everyone loved?
One answer: Brambleclaw.
I narrowed my eyes, the eyes you once called a beautiful sky blue - I should have known it was all an act. You were infatuated with him all the time. Why couldn't I have foreseen that?
Another answer: I loved you too much to see that.
My pelt bristled - the pelt you called a pretty stone-gray, the same color as the sunning-rocks. Why couldn't I have seen your love towards him? Why couldn't I have noticed your broken tone every time he left after arguing with you?
Remember? Why, even after your many arguments with him, why couldn't you have forgotten him, and moved on with me? Don't you know how much it hurts?
I chased after you, gripping your tail tightly and drawing you backwards, baring my fangs at you as I leered at you. Can you see that this is just an act? Can you see the hidden tears I kept from falling out of my eyes?
You glare at me, hissing, "What in the name of StarClan are you doing, Ashfur? We're over!"
I stare at you stoically. "I love you so much I would kill you to keep you," I hiss.
"What?" Your eyes were filled with terror, your voice filled with disbelief.
Closing my eyes, I clawed your back repeatedly, trying to block out your yowls of pain and the blood spattering on the ground. Opening them again, I bend over you.
"Do you see my love for you now?"
"Yes! Yes! Let me go!"
I tighten my grip on your back, blood leaking out. "I don't believe you."
"Please!"
A maniacal grin spread over my face, you stare at me hopefully. I slash at your face, flinging it to one side and dug my claws into your chest.
I wash my claws in the stream before coming back to take a look at you. You were lifeless now, but your eyes, wide and open, betrayed a last sentence of weakness.
'Why...?'
I cackle loudly. Why? Why? WHY?
Didn't I tell her?
I loved her more than anything.
A/N) Uhh, I'm going to pretend I never wrote that. I KNOW I write lots of emo one-shots, cut me some slack!
I've been sitting in the Emo Corner for nine months straight. -is depressed-
You should be able to understand what is this.
Storyline: Ashfur is hurt that Squirrelflight chose Brambleclaw over him, and claims that he is too in love with her to let her go with Brambleclaw. When Squirrelflight says that she understands that he is in love with her, he doesn't believe her, and kills her. One thing that I DIDN'T mention is that Ashfur never wanted to kill Squirrelflight. It was that he didn't believe her, and killed her.
Bah, if you can't understand the last part, leave it. You can just think that he gone crazy. Which he did in the books, but in this it happened much, much sooner. Woot.
