Cloudtail and Brightheart

Disclaimer: I do not own warriors or the song Your Guardian Angel by The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus

When I see your smile
Tears roll down my face I can't replace
And now that I'm strong I have figured out
How this world turns cold and it breaks through my soul
And I know I'll find deep inside me I can be the one

Cloudpaw gazed at Brightpaw's ravaged face. The ginger and white fur was ripped off one side. Cobwebs swathed it and prevented the bleeding, or at least slowed it down. He didn't look away, or flinch, or grimace in disgust at her wounds. He sat there beside her, keeping her company even if she wasn't conscious, even if she didn't know.

Brightpaw murmured gently in her sleep, and Cloudpaw laid his tail on her flank. He gently licked her ear and whispered to her.

"It'll be okay. I promise."

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

Lostface! thought Cloudtail, almost hissing out loud. How could Bluestar call her that? He wanted to yowl at her, to convince her to change it, but Bluestar wasn't 'all there' anymore, and he didn't know what she would say. Plus, her name had been approved by StarClan, if it wasn't just a myth. If it was true, how could they let it happen?

Even if he couldn't do anything about her name right then, Cloudtail knew he would help her persue her dream. She couldn't give it up, not after she had been so close to it. He'd help her through it all, no matter what. He'd protect her, no matter what. Even if it cost him his life.

Seasons are changing
And waves are crashing
And stars are falling all for us
Days grow longer and nights grow shorter
I can show you I'll be the one

Cloudtail crouched down, narrowing his eyes at his opponent. She slithered towards him, one side of her face never turning away. He hissed, baring his teeth, and struck out with a forepaw. The she-cat dodged him, and then darted forwards, knocking him off balance and sending him sprawling into the dust.

"Well done Lostface!" he mewed happily. He rubbed his cheek along her face, and gently licked the scarred side. He couldn't wait until they showed Firestar. Finally, he could see that Lostface was as skilled as any warrior! He had spent many, many days with her, and any cat could see how much he cared.

I will never let you fall
I'll stand up with you forever
I'll be there for you through it all
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

"ShadowClan, attack!" yowled Blackstar. The huge ShadowClan warriors launched themselves into battle, claws unsheathed and sharp teeth bared. Cloudtail fought alongside Brightheart, who had formerly been known as Lostface. At last, she was free from the dreadful name cursed upon her.

The two cats weaved back and forth, confusing a dark, muscular tom. He leaped at Brightheart, trying to pin her down, but she darted away swiftly. While the enemy was preoccupied, Cloudtail jumped in, raking his claws down his side and making the tom loose his balance. Brightheart used this to her advantage, and together they sank their claws into his flesh and sent him yowling back into his own territory. Panting, the two cats gazed at each other. Each trusted the other with their lives. It was a bond of love so strong, something no one could ever replace. Just because one cat who said he would help her. One tom who said he would make sure she got her dream. And he did.

'Cause you're my, you're my,
My true love, my whole heart
Please don't throw that away
'Cause I'm here for you
Please don't walk away and
Please tell me you'll stay

The stream gently tricked by as two cats sat side by side, watching the sun as it made it's way behind the hills. Their two tails were entwined, and their pelts were touching. The tom suddenly turned to look at the ginger and white she-cat.

"Brightheart?"

"Yeah?" she asked, turning to look at Cloudtail.

"You do know that.. I love you," he said, his voice slightly shaking with nervousness. What if she didn't care? What if she had someone else in mind? These thoughts raced through his mind, almost making him regret what he had just said.

Brightheart gazed at him with intense happiness. She flicked his cheek lightly with her tail, her eyes glittering with amusement.

"Mousebrain. Of course I know. And I love you too," she said softly.

Use me as you will
Pull my strings just for a thrill
And I know I'll be okay
Though my skies are turning gray

"And you know that no matter what happens, I always will? No matter how hard it is?" he asked her, moving closer.

"You know the answers to these questions already, Cloudtail. I would give my life for you," she replied.

I will never let you fall!
I'll stand up with you forever!
I'll be there for you through it all,
Even if saving you sends me to heaven

"Through anything and everything," Cloudtail said softly. He laid down beside Brightheart, and closed his eyes. It didn't matter that some cats would never believe she was truely a warrior. It didn't matter that she only had one eye, or that half of her face was ravaged and would be scarred for the rest of his life. All he cared about was being there with her, and knowing that no matter what, they'd always love each other. That they'd be there for each other. That nothing could ever tear them apart.
