She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
She'll never notice how you stop and stare
Whenever she walks by
The group of ThunderClan cats set off out of their camp. The full moon shone down on their backs as they headed towards the island where the Gathering would take place. Lionpaw walked beside his mentor, Ashfur. A brown tabby pelt caught his eye from up ahead, towards the front of the group.
"Honeypaw!" he called after the she-cat. She looked back at him uncertainly, and then slowed her pace. Lionpaw felt his heart beat faster. His eyes seemed to glow.
"Hey," she said coolly, matching him step for step as they walked.
"Are you excited?" he asked her, referring to the Gathering.
"Umm.. Yeah. I have to go. Poppypaw wanted to talk to me about something," she said quick, and then trotted back up to her sister. Lionpaw's eyes never left her pelt.
And you can't see me wanting you the way you want her
But you are everything to me
Heatherpaw's eyes narrowed as she scented ThunderClan. The group of apprentices she was sitting with all turned their heads as the last Clan to arrive came into the clearing. A golden pelt caught her eye, and she looked away quickly. It hurt too much.
Her back stiffened as Lionpaw, Hollypaw, Poppypaw and Honeypaw made their way over to her group. When she forced herself to look up off the ground and join in on the conversations, something crushed her heart. Lionpaw was ignoring everyone else, his attention only on Honeypaw. All he could do was stare.
"I have to go," she mewed, and walked away from them without looking back.
And I just want to show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
A loud yowl silenced all of the cats seated in the clearing. They all gathered below the great tree, staring up at their leaders. Lionpaw sat down at the back of the group, his gaze never wandering from Honeypaw.
"Hey Honeypaw, want to sit with me?" he asked hopefully, pointing with his tail to the empty space beside him.
"Sorry. I promised someone else," she said hurriedly, and trotted off away from him. His heart sank.
There's a fire inside of you
That can't help but shine through
She's never gonna see the light
No matter what you do
Heatherpaw watched as the meeting ended. All of the cats got up and began walking towards their Clans. She glanced at ThunderClan. They were the first cats to reach the tree bridge. Her blue gaze was trained on Lionpaw's pelt. She watched as he let Honeypaw go before him and followed right behind her.
Suddenly, Honeypaw stumbled and slipped off of the wet bark. She was falling, her small body spiraling towards the dark, rippling waters of the lake. Lionpaw darted forwards, grabbing her scruff with his teeth. Heatherpaw let out a small gasp; for a moment it seemed as if they would both fall in. Thankfully, Ashfur was behind Lionpaw and helped the apprentices get a better hold of the tree to safely make it to the other side.
Honeypaw didn't even thank him.
And all I think about is how to make you think of me
And everything that we could be
And I just want to show you
She don't even know you
She's never gonna love you like I want to
And you just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible
A daylight Gathering! Lionpaw was so excited. Maybe he could impress Honeypaw! The three other Clans had already arrived in ThunderClan territory, and excitement buzzed through the air. Lionpaw was to hunt with Breezepaw. He had to beat him.
Heatherpaw glanced down. She was so high! She closed her eyes. I have to make it, I have to! Maybe Lionpaw will notice, she told herself. Her claws gripped the tough bark and she forced herself to climb upwards. Honeypaw was at one side of her, a ShadowClan apprentice on her other. She just needed to climb to the top of Sky Oak!
She tried as hard as she could, pushing her protesting muscles to their limit. Soon she reached the top. Approving yowls from WindClan echoed through the air, and the three apprentices made their way back to solid ground. Heatherpaw was congratulated and praised, but she didn't want to hear it from anyone but Lionpaw.
When she saw him, his tail was drooping and he looked so sad. What did I just miss, she wondered. Then she saw Honeypaw walking away from him. Lionpaw's sister, Hollypaw, was beside her brother comforting him.
"All you did was try and compliment her. Who knows why she's so grumpy today," mewed Hollypaw.
Like shadows in the faded light
Oh, we're invisible
I just wanna open your eyes
And make you realize
I just want to show you
She don't even know you
Baby let me love you, let me want you
You just see right through me
But if you only knew me
We could be a beautiful miracle, unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.
Stupid toms, thought Heatherpaw crossly as WindClan headed back to their camp. Her eyes stared at the ground without really seeing anything, and her tail was twitching angrily. They don't know anything! She felt so helpless. He'd never see. She couldn't do anything. There was nothing she could do.
She can't see the way your eyes
Light up when you smile
Heatherpaw looked at Lionpaw one last time before ThunderClan disappeared from her view. His eyes shone as he walked past Honeypaw, a second attempt at conversation. He opened his mouth to talk, and Heatherpaw watched as the light faded from his eyes. Honeypaw turned away from him without a word. She'll never see him the way I do. Why can't he just realize it?
