Stormfur
I admired her strength and will. But echoes of my parents forbidden romance, of my mother's death, of my father's hurt haunted me. Did I really want that for myself? Could I survive any consquences? Or the pain if something happened to her? I thought I might. Although it was clear she'd never think of me as a potential mate, she liked Brambleclaw so much better. I don't think I ever would've told her how I felt or wanted to. But then I met Brook. And my heart belongs with her, no one else. I'll always admire Squirrelflight as a friend, but I don't think I'd ever say we were more then that.

Brambleclaw
She always had energy. She was full of fire and ideas and determination. It was great, having her by my side during all of our advetntures and expeditions. I needed her with me. When she left me for Ashfur, every time I saw them together, it made me so angry. I thought that was because she was being fox-hearted, for being with Ashfur just because my brother was Hawkfrost. But later I figured out it was because I was jealous. But when Squirrelflight told me we were meant to be together, StarClan had said so themselves, I was so joyful. And when we had Lionkit, Hollykit, and Jaykit, I was even happier. I was so proudof them, so proud of her. But then the truth came out. And everything I had, everything I thought I had, was gone. It never rains, but it pours.

Ashfur
I loved her. Some might even call me obsessed. When she was an apprentie I always went to her training sessions and tried to be on lots of patrols with her. Because I saw something in her. Even before Brambleclaw did. And I tried to make her notice me, even when she was with him. And when she finally choose me it was amazing. I tried to protect her, hold onto her as long as I could. Some cats said I should've let her be free, that was how she needed to be. But they don't know what their talking about. Then she left me for Brambleclaw. It's amazing how you imagine what pain feels like, and then when you feel it, it's so much worse...I wanted to hurt her. Show her what it felt like. So that she knew what the feeling of having your heart ripped open everytime you see someone feels. Then maybe she would see that I could match her fire.
