Everyone wanted Brindleface, so here's Brindleface. I know it's probably rushed, but I tried. This song is not mine. It's Nickelback's "Side of a Bullet".

Side of a Bullet - Brindleface

---------------

I watched from my hollow in the warriors den as Cloudtail disappeared into the gorse tunnel with Fireheart. A purr rumbled in my throat with pride. Cloudtail wasn't my son, but in my heart he would always be, whether he was my blood or not, my kit. Sometimes, even to me that didn't make since, but I loved Cloudtail as my own. And that's why I was afraid to see him leave, especally with Tigerstar on the loose, as well as those dangerous dogs, who had already nearly killed Lostface. A shiver went down my spine and I winched. Poor she-cat, burdened with the horrible name that reminded her of her injuries.

I was proud of Cloudtail. I could tell he loved Lostface with all his heart, even if she was disformed from her attack. Dogs...rotten creatures. Ones that deserved to die painfully.

Uncle Sam taught him to shoot
Maybe a little too well
Finger on the trigger, loaded bullet
He hit the stage so full of rage
And let the whole world know it
Six feet away, they heard him say
"Oh God, don't let him pull it"

I stretched and got to my paws, blinking as I stepped into the bright sunlight. Even for leaf-fall the sun was still warm and bright. I looked toward the fresh kill pile, my stomach roaring with hunger. Only a mouse, a finch, and a starling remained. Licking my lips in hunger, I padded toward the gorse tunnel, but I heard my name before I even reached the entrance.

"Brindleface!" came the call of my good friend, Mousefur. She was running up to me, and I flicked an ear in greeting. "The fresh kill pile's low. I thought you might want to go hunting with me and Thornpaw." She flicked her tail toward the apprentice. (A/N: I think he was still an apprentice anyway...maybe not Mousefur's...) Brindleface nodded toward the eldest apprentice and looked back at Mousefur.

"No, I think I'll head out on my own today," she meowed, kneeding the ground. "I need to think awhile. Sorry. Maybe tomorrow?" Mousefur, the kind she-cat she was, nodded in understanding, and I slipped through the gorse tunnel.

Please God, don't let him pull it
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched you do it

My catch was good. I managed to catch a finch, a magpie, and a raven. Even though I wasn't on a hunting patrol, I felt need to bring my kill home before I ate myself. By now, I found myself heading toward Snake Rocks, and I shuddered at the foul scent that I imagined I smelt. I turned direction, and trotted toward the camp.

The scent of fresh kill was making my mouth water, and I was just about to sink my fangs into the finch when there was a rustling of bracken behind me. Starled, I froze. That was too big to be prey. I tensed, ready for a badger, a fox, anything to step from the bushes. But I wasn't prepared for what did. I nearly dropped te prey in my mouth as I stared at the famliar large tabby.

How could you take his life away?
(What made you think u had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world all wonder why
I sat at home and on my own,
I cried alone

"Tigerstar," I growled, dropping the fresh kill quickly. I was ready to fight, though I knew that I would stand no chance against him, especally if he had warriors. He smirked at me, purring smugly.

"Brindleface," he meowed, stepping closer. I snarled a warning, but he only proceeded quicker and quicker, until finally I swipped at him.

Obviously, he had been preparing this, for he swipped back and counter my attack with one of his own, before he pounced with flying paws at me. I struggled, everything spinning as I rolled to the forest floor, hissing, yelling, and fighting. I wasn't going to let him kill me before I left him a few marks to remember!

But soon, my effort became weaker. I wasn't as young as I used to be, and it was starting to show. Pretty soon, I made a wrong move, and Tigerstar pinned me under his weight. I struggled weakly, and he smirked at me.

And scratched your name
On the side of a bullet

And in the wake of his mistake
So many lives are broken
Gone forever from a loaded bullet
And no excuse that you could use
Could pull somebody through it
And to this day so many say
"God why'd you let him do it?"

"Brindleface, Brindleface, Brindleface," he purred, pressing his paws against my throat, cutting off my breathing. He was silent, and terror filled me when spots layer my vision from lack of air. My lungs burned and I struggled desperatly to free myself, to get a glup of air, but it was futile. Finally, when I was weak, and my struggles were gone, he let air into my lungs, and bent down to my ear.

How could you let him do it?
How could you put us through it?
His brother watched him do it

"Your little ThunderClan leader will be dead soon," he meowed casually, hauntingly. "All of ThunderClan will. And I will rule." He leaned back up, and I saw a flash of silver, and felt something slice in my throat. Extreme pain flitered through my body as blood poured from the wound. But Tigerstar wasn't done. Claws flashed as he ripped and tore at my chest. Then, as pain became the only feeling, he bent and ripped my throat out with his fangs, and I choked on my own air. Thrashing and gurgling a scream in pain, I watched as Tigerstar became dimmer and dimmer, before he was finally a dark gray outline on black. I'll never forget his finally words.

"Say hi to Redtail for me."

My vision faded to a black, and rest filled me.

He won't get away with it...He just can't...

How could you take his life away?
(What made you think u had the right?)
How could you be so full of hate?
(To take away somebody's life)
And when I heard you let him die
And made the world
all wonder why
I sat at home and cried alone
and on my own
I scratched your name
On the side of a bullet
