That's Okay
A/N: Okay, this is the rewrite. Tell me if its any better than the original.
Tawnykit couldn't speak, but she could see, and she could see her mother looking down at her. She could see her brother next to her. Bramblekit… She would love him forever, no matter what. No matter what anyone said. Sometimes she saw a bright ginger tom come in. He was scared of Bramblekit; she could see it in every way he moved, in everything he did. 'I'll protect you Bramblekit,' she thought. 'Forever. I promise.'
You were a child who was made of glass
You carried a black heart passed down from your dad
If somebody loved you they'd tell you by now
We all turn away when you're down
Tawnykit could see the way Fireheart looked at Bramblekit. There was fear in his eyes. Fear of what? Fear of Bramblekit? Or what he might become? How could Fireheart be afraid of them when they had such a brave warrior of a father? Brambleclaw would be just as good as their father; Tawnykit could feel it deep inside her.
You want to go back to where you felt safe To hear your brother's laughter
To see your mother's face
Your childhood home is just powder white bones
And you'll never find your way back
Tawnypaw stared in shocked amazement at Fireheart. How could their father be a traitor?! It was impossible! But it explained the looks Fireheart gave Bramblepaw. He and Tigerstar looked exactly alike… But no! Tigerstar was a great warrior, and the leader of ShadowClan! Surely ShadowClan wouldn't accept him if he was a traitor!
And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay
If not, that's okay
Tawnypaw couldn't take it anymore! The looks, the sneers, the glares, the frightened eyes – all of it directed at Bramblepaw. It wasn't fair! He hadn't done anything wrong! He wasn't Tigerstar! Bramblepaw couldn't be blamed for Tigerstar's mistakes! He hadn't done what Tigerstar had. He hadn't done anything like what Tigerstar had done! And Tawnypaw was blamed too. They hadn't done anything, and they were still blamed for their father's mistakes. This was all over.
She was leaving.
You are broken and callow
Cautious and safe
You are boundless and beauty with fright in your face
Until someone loves you, I'll keep you safe
But like them, I will give you away
Tawnypelt snarled. She didn't need Tigerstar. And neither did Brambleclaw. Why couldn't he see that? Tigerstar was twisting Brambleclaw around his paw. Her brother was going against everything Tawnypelt believed in. He was going to become Tigerstar. Was he stupid? He was as bad as Hawkfrost! As bad as Tigerstar himself! Tawnypelt didn't need Tigerstar, and she didn't need Brambleclaw either.
And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
If not, that's okay
Tawnypelt curled her tail around the kits. She had already named the little tabby, but a voice whispered in the back of her mind. 'Will you condemn him to Brambleclaw's life?'
Tawnypelt ignored the voice and pulled Dawnkit, her daughter, closer. Tigerkit would be to Dawnkit what Brambleclaw was to her. Her protector, her link, her best friend. Bonds like theirs had been forged before, but they were broken. Squirrelpaw left on the journey to sun-drown place, Feathertail died, and Tawnypelt had left for ShadowClan. But Tigerkit wouldn't leave. Tigerkit would hurt Dawnkit. He would be her best friend.
Her own personal little Brambleclaw.
And when you're gone, will they say your name?
And when you're gone, will they love you the same?
Oh, when you're gone, we won't say a word
But you know, that's okay
Don't you know that's okay
A/N: How was the rewrite?! You have to tell me! I know it sucked before… Also, I HATE BRAMBLECLAW BUT LIKE TAWNYPELT. If I seem like Brambleclaw lover, I'm not. Review!
Off to take over the world,
Crazy Girl
