I Swear
All-4-One
Brackenfur X Sorreltail
I swear by the moon and the stars in the sky
and I swear like the shadow that's by your side
Sorreltail flicked Brackenfur with her tail. "Let's go hunting!" she mewed excitedly.
And I swear by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there
I swear like the shadow that's by your side I'll be there
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
"Don't you trust me? I'll bring Leafpaw back safe and sound," Sorreltail said quietly. "Of course I trust you, Sorreltail," Brackenfur meowed back. Purring, he rubbed his head along her flank.
And I swear
I'll give you every thing I can
I'll build your dreams with these two hands
We'll hang some memories on the wall
And when (and when) just the two of us are there
You won't have to ask if I still care
Cause as the time turns the page
My love won't age at all
"I'm having your kits, Brackenfur!" Brackenfur stood silently, jaws agape. "My…. My kits? That's great!" he said at last. "I love you, Sorreltail."
Leafpool looked on in horror and amazement. Badgers everywhere, her mentor was dead, and, yet, life prevailed. Sorreltail had four healthy kits, and Brackenfur was with her. He was torn. His sister was dead, yet his mate just had his kits. Unknown to him, Cinderpelt still walked among the living.
For better or worse
Till death do us part
I'll love you with every beat of my heart
And I swear
Sorreltail looked up weakly. A purr rose in her throat as she saw her mate beside her, but it was cut short. She saw a dark shape in the distance, and she knew it was Cinderpelt. Dead. Leafpool sat beside her in eerie silence, mourning her mentor. She lifted her gazes from the horror that had occurred, and looked upon her kits. Shocked, she nudged one. "I name you Cinderkit. Cinderpelt would like that."
And I swear (I swear) by the moon
And the stars in the sky I'll be there (I'll be there)
I swear (and I swear) like the shadow that's by your side
I'll be there (I'll be there)
Sorreltail sat in the middle of camp, watching Cinderpaw, Poppykit, and Honeykit play-fight. She thought she had lost everything. Her father, Whitestorm, to Bone, her mother, Willowpelt, and her brother, Sootfur, to badgers, Rainwhisker to a tree branch, and Molekit to sickness. Yet she couldn't help but purr as she saw how much life was around her. And, she still had Brackenfur. He was her life now.
For better or worse (better or worse)
Till death do us part I'll love you
With every single beat of my heart
I swear I swear I swear
