Brightheart Speaks: A Loyal Cat

Many cats can't believe their eyes when they look at me..

Daisy: What happened to your face!?

A lot seem to be afraid of me...

''Princess: Oh my... *backs away*''

But there's one cat who stands by me. One cat who remains loyal to me. One cat who loves me the way I am. Cloudtail.

I can tell that Cloudtail will always love me; besides him telling me all the time, the way he acts around me is proof enough. The day I recieved my injuries from the pack, I felt like I would never have a friend again. But I was wrong. Cloudtail defended me from everyone who made me feel uncomfortable.

Cloudtail: You're still beautiful...

''Cloudtail: Lostface... I hate that name!''

I hated the name Lostface terribly, but no cat dared to speak against the leader about it. Only Cloudtail respected me enough to say to his leader that my name was a cruel one and demand that it be changed. I love Cloudtail with all my heart. He could have picked any she-cat who didn't have a mate after a while...

Sorreltail, before she mated with my brother, Brackenfur; Ferncloud; before she mated with Dustpelt, though she's shy and Cloudtail's outspoken; Daisy... that loner with those kits that fear me...

But no. Cloudtail doesn't feel anything more than friendship for any of them. I'm special to him, and he's special to me. I like his carefree lifestyle; I respect his lack of belief in StarClan; I don't care that he used to be a kittypet. All that matters is that he's mine and I'm his.

Cloudtail, my dependable clanmate.

Cloudtail, my temporary mentor.

Cloudtail, my closest friend.

Cloudtail, my lover.
