Brightheart's POV:

I glanced happily at Cloudtail, who was next to me eating a piece of fresh kill. Whitewing was over giving Icepaw some pointers about which fresh-kill was the easiest to catch.

My daughter. I swear, I could feel my eyes glowing while looking at her.

I glanced at Cloudtail again and mentally went back in time where I got attacked by those dogs. What if Cloudtail had never been there for me?
Life would be very different, and I might not be here right now.

He's the one who helped me pull through all of that.

Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice pulls me back like a wake up call
I've been looking for the answer
Somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right there
But now I know what I didn't know.

I mean, it felt like the end of the world when those dogs killed Swiftpaw and ruined the side of my face. And I lay there in Cinderpelt's den, I just wanted to die. But then, I heard Cloudtail's voice and looked up, and there he was. And the answer to all my questions was him.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
And because he was there, he helped me believe in myself, and suddenly Starclan's pull on me disappeared. It wasn't my time. Cloudtail basically...in a way...saved me. Nobody else could have done that. I got starry-eyed everytime I looked at him after that.

Cloudtail caught my gaze and purred. "Is there a reason your looking at me like that?"
"No...just thinking about how lucky I am to have you Cloudtail." I said, and cuddled into his side.

He purred and licked my ear. "I was thinking the same."
It's alright, I survived, I'm alive again
Cause of you, made it through every storm
What is life, what's the use if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone
Who was there when all my hopes fell
I wanna fly, looking in your eyes

Yes, I survived because of him. I'm alright. I make it through everything because of him. He's my angel sent from Starclan. My sister or anyone weren't there when I woke up, no, it was him.

"And...thanks for saving me."

He got a confused look on his face. "What?"
I smiled softly and purred. "Cloudtail, if you hadn't given me the confidence and wouldn't have been there to help me, I wouldn't have lived. Or at least, I wouldn't have lived a happy life."

"Oh." He smiled back, and he twined his fluffy tail with mine.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live, I live

"I love you." I said.

"I love you too Brightheart. You know, your name matches well." He mused. "You do really have a bright heart. Your like my own personal, bright sky."
I haven't felt this happy since Whitewing was born. "Oh Cloudtail...because you live, I live."
"And it is the same here Brightheart."
Because you live there's a reason why
I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always

"And if I'm ever losing a fight, I just have to think of you. And I'll be strong again. I'll carry on. Because I want to give you what you've given me."
He smiled. "I think that's all I can ask for." He licked me all over.

And I licked him back. "Your all I need...well, Whitewing too of course."
He purred in amusement. "Yes, you two are my gifts from Starclan."
"You know...I'm surprised you admired me after what happened to my face."
He almost gasped. "Brightheart I'd love you if your whole face was scarred! Looks don't matter!"
Wise words from my wise mate.

I smiled. "Your amazing Cloudtail."
"Your more amazing Brigtheart. Seriously."
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
I snuggled into his side more. He was so warm...and his fur was the color of fresh snow, even after being on Warrior duties all day. My strong and brave Cloudtail.

Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live, girl
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live, I live, I live
