Okay, this is my first song-fic, as well as my first fanfic, so I would be very pleased if people would make reviews. Don't be afraid to criticize, but please don't be rude. If any of my readers have ever gotten a review from me, than you know that I am not rude in my reviews, instead I praise their work, and possibly offer advise, so please do the same to me.
Anyways, this takes place after the death of Hawkfrost, and Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight get back together. They are sitting in front of the lake when they begin to reminisce about their past experiences. (Some lyrics to the song have been altered to fit the story).
Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors, Erin Hunter does, or There's No Honor Among Thieves, Toby Keith does.
Brambleclaw & Squirrelflight: There's No Honor Among Thieves
Brambleclaw padded up to sit beside Squirrelflight, who was facing the lake. "What are you doing here alone?" he asked softly.
"Oh, just remembering our old lives, from back in the old territories to now after the end of Hawkfrost," she replied, scooting herself closer to Brambleclaw's side.
"Care to share some of your memories?" he asked.
"Sure, I'd like that," she sighed, resting her head on his shoulder.
This world's a forest,
There ain't no justice,
Codes of Warriors rule this land.
Better hide your heart,
Bury your anguish,
And hold your she-cat anyway you can.
"Do you remember when we first began to take interest in each other?" Squirrelflight asked.
"Yeah, back after we first returned home from the Great Journey," Brambleclaw reminisced.
"As I recall, you wouldn't say you loved me, but you got jealous anytime I got near another tom," Squirrelflight chuckled softly, a slight purr rising in her throat.
'Cause there ain't no right or wrong,
Nothin's wrote in stars,
It ain't stealing if you don't get caught.
Victors laugh and
Losers grieve 'cause
Out here, there's no honor among thieves.
"While we were on the Great Journey, we had only the stars to guide us. Sometimes it seemed as if even they weren't there," Brambleclaw remembered.
"Yeah," Squirrelflight replied. "Also, whenever we ate, it felt as if we were stealing from our Clans by eating so well outside the territories, while they starved within them."
That she-cat you been loving,
She was another tom's,
You stole her heart while his back was turned.
Up every tree
There's an outcast waitin'
Who wants to teach you what you shouldn't learn.
"Brambleclaw," Squirrelflight meowed suddenly. "I have a confession to make."
"Yes?" Brambleclaw was suddenly alert.
"Before I liked you, I kind of had a soft spot for Ashfur," Squirrelflight mewed tentatively.
"I can forgive you for that, if you can forgive me for this," Brambleclaw replied slowly. "You probably know this, but before I killed Hawkfrost, I had been training with Tigerstar and lying to you about it.
"That's okay, Brambleclaw, it's all over now, and I'm sure you'll never do it again. I forgive you."
"Thank you. I forgive you, too."
'Cause there ain't no right or wrong,
Nothin's wrote in stars,
It ain't stealing if you don't get caught.
Victors laugh and
Losers grieve 'cause
Out here, there's no honor among thieves.
"You know, when I was confronted by Hawkfrost, I didn't know what to do at first," Brambleclaw confessed. "I couldn't seem to get any advice from StarClan, either! The prospect of stealing leadership almost seemed right."
"That's okay, you did what was right, and in the end, we shared the last laugh," Squirrelflight purred.
This world's a forest,
There ain't no justice,
Codes of warriors rule this land.
So don't go crying when
Her love goes flying to
The stealing claws of another tom.
"One of the worst things about training with Tigerstar was watching you and Ashfur get close, you know," Brambleclaw reminisced.
"I know," Squirrelflight answered.
'Cause there ain't no right or wrong,
Nothin's wrote in stars,
It ain't stealing if you don't get caught.
Love's a pile of prey,
Lose it and weep
'Cause out here, there's no honor among thieves.
"I'm just glad that, in the end, my days of grieving about you and me were over when I eliminated Hawkfrost. Watching you with Ashfur was like watching the whole of ShadowClan take what prey I could scavenge in leaf-bare. It was torture!" Brambleclaw shuddered.
"All is well that ends well," Squirrelflight meowed, as she stood and turned toward camp.
"Not for Ashfur. He no longer has much honor, after having lost you twice, and lying about me to the Clan," Brambleclaw softly countered, rising to stand beside his once again mate.
"Yes, but there is no honor among thieves," Squirrelflight replied tersely, beginning to walk towards camp.
"Yes," Brambleclaw agree, following Squirrelflight through the forest towards the settling camp. "There's no honor among thieves."
So, that was my first fanfic and first songfic! Did you like it? Please review! I'm hoping for atleast 6 reviews! I want to know what needs improvement! Thank you for reading! :D
