Warriors Songfics Chapter 20: What Hurts the Most, a warriors fanfic

Chapter 20

A/N: So sorry for not updating sooner! I've been so busy with school, soccer, and getting ready for my birthday. Anyways, this was submitted by Yalith's wolf. It is a Brambleclaw and Tawnypelt brother/sister relationship with the song What Hurts the Most by Rascal Flatts.

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me
I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while
Even though going on with you gone still upsets me
There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone
Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret
But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh...

"Fear me! I'm the mighty ThunderClan leader!" Bramblekit meowed as he leaped onto is sister. "This is Thunderclan territory, rogue!" He batted at his sister's belly.

"Not for long!" Tawnykit meowed, lashing out with a paw and knocking Bramblekit on the side of the head. The dark tabby kit went sprawling in the grass.

"Bramblekit!" Tawnykit shrieked. "Are you okay?"

Her words were drowned out by a triumphant yowling as Bramblekit leaped off the ground and onto the tortoiseshell. Tawnykit squeaked in surprise. The two kits rolled around on the ground for a few moments, before they stopped, Bramblekit pinning Tawnykit on her back.

"Beat you again," he said.

"Bramblekit?" She asked, turning to face her brother. Bramblekit raised his head sleepily.

"Yes Tawnykit?" He meowed, yawning.

"Promise me that whatever happens, you'll always love me," she meowed. Bramblekit pushed himself into a sitting position.

"Okay," he meowed. "But promise me that whatever happens, we'll always be together. Promise?" He meowed. Tawnykit nodded.

"Promise," she meowed. Bramblekit nodded, and laid his head back on the ground, closing his eyes. Tawnykit watched him, before doing the same thing.

I promise.

"I hate that cat!" She meowed to her brother. "He deserves to have his ears clawed off!"

Bramblepaw laid his tail over Tawnypaw's shoulder. "He's an elder, what do you expect?"

But this had little affect on Tawnypaw. The tortoiseshell lifted her head and marched off into the forest.

"I'm going to get some moss!" She called over her shoulder. When she got into the forest, however, she broke into a run. Not heading towards where the best moss grew, but towards FourTrees.

And ShadowClan.

"Tawnypaw!" Come back to us! You're a ThunderClan cat!"

Tawnykit shuffled her paws nervously; aware that almost every cat was watching her. Beside her, Tigerstar began to meow, his voice ringing out through the clearing. When he stopped, she heard Bramblepaw's voice, stronger and more determined then she had ever heard it before.

"Join you? After all you've done? I'd rather die!" He meowed, lifting his head. Tawnypaw blinked.

"Good job," she mewed quietly to herself. Her mind began to wander back several moons, to a frosty night, and a promise…

She could almost see my brother's mind right now. You promised, Tawnypaw. You promised.

Guilt swept over her. I did promise.

"Tawnypaw? Who's she? I'm Tawnypelt now, if you don't mind," Tawnypelt meowed. Beside her, her brother's eyes lit up.

"That's great! So am I-I mean, I'm a warrior too. My name's Brambleclaw," he meowed. She pressed my muzzle into his fur.

"Congratulations," Tawnypelt meowed. Brambleclaw nodded.

"Tawnypelt, do you remember when we were kits, and we used to make promises to each other?" He meowed suddenly. She nodded.

"Yes," Tawnypelt meowed. "The ones that I broke," she added.

"That's what I thought at first," he meowed. "That you didn't care. But now I know, that you do care," he meowed. Tawnypelt purred.

"You're right. I do care. I promise."

I promise.

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Ooohhh...

A/N: Aww! So cute! I can really see some of those scenes happening, especially the two kit scenes.
