You Promised [Roselocke]

Tansyleaf wasn't sure how long it had been. She just knew it had to of been a while, since night fall had arrived. The warm greenleaf sun had slowly sunken beneath the horizon beyond the mouse ridge. The sunset had been magnificent as usual but Tansyleaf just hadn't been up for watching. No instead the she cat had lay amongst the soft tendrils of grass and sniffled. Trying her utmost not to completely break down, her head filled with memories of the day's earlier events. Kodiak's arrival on the border and then Cloudflight's arrival. The way Cloudflight had changed when he saw Kodiak how he'd nearly hurt the tom she'd come to call a friend. but what hurt the most was the lie. Cloudflight had lied straight to her face, not only that but something had been terribly wrong with Kodiak. The tom who was normally so kind to her, had left without a goodbye. All of it was just too much for Tansyleaf, she had to leave. She had to get away from Cloudflight to clear her head. So the petite feline had ignored his desperate calls and run off. At first she'd considered going back to camp, but at the last moment she decided against it. She needed to be alone, she needed time to think.

So now the stunning little calico she-cat lay amongst the grass contemplating her day. Fighting back the tears which welled up in the depths of her sky blue eyes. Only allowing sniffles to escape her, as she licked obsessively at her pelt. Her feathery tail wrapped around her body, like it always was when she felt uncomfortable or in this case sad. It hadn't taken much thinking over for Tansyleaf to figure out what had happened. Cause with a clear head and no worry that the two toms might kill one another, she'd had time to think. She'd come to realize that Kodiak was jealous of Cloudflight. That he liked her, probably more than a friend. It made sense since he'd been so tender with her at the end of their last meeting. As for Cloudflight he too had been jealous and that jealousy had been directed at Kodiak in a rage. His lie was that he was trying to protect the clan against an outsider, he'd thought she was in love with the loner. Or at least this was what Tansyleaf thought the pair had felt. She couldn't be sure... especially when it came to Kodiak. He'll probably never speak with me again... She thought feeling saddened by the idea. She couldn't say she had feelings for Kodiak beyond that of friendship but she had cared for him deeply. Now he was gone forever, and with no goodbye. Sighing softly, Tansyleaf blinks her clear sky blue eyes rapidly to avoid more sniffling. She wasn't sure why this had her so emotional, only that it did. The whole thing hurt, like a gaping wound in her heart. Mixed feelings of regret, sadness, confusion, love, and more just overwhelmed her small frame. Causing her to break down atop the mouse ridge.

Burying her delicate face into her paws, Tansyleaf closes her eyes tight. Taking deep and careful breaths of the earthy greenleaf smells. Her white fur with its calico patches groomed to perfection, was dancing in the luminescent glow of the stars and sliver of moon overhead. Making the tiny feline stand out against the dark grass even more than normal.

Vibrant green eyes stared ahead, only deep sorrow in those pits of almost nothing. His lips were a straight line as he stared into the dark, from where the spot where love seemed to punch him in the gut, and then send claws stabbing into his delicate heart. Tear streaks laid upon his cheeks, yet now they were dry, as if he had finally recovered from the blow, the blow that sent his heart pushing back with pain. His fluorescent white fur glowed in the moonlight gently, with every single thing seeming to be surrounded around him, and the shadows straying away, as if afraid to touch such a broken creature. Those usually bright, gentle green eyes were now dull, dead, as he had gone through yet another heartbreak, yet this one being so much more severe then the last. His chest hurt physically, as if he held a scar there, but it had been reopened, but today, a scar over his heart had been the thing to reopen, to become a deeper cut and wound.

His steps were small, measured, so much different from his normal stride that blessed him with an aura of confidence. Every step pained him, yet he was determined to roam until he died. Hey, maybe when he died, he would forget all the heartbreak he would have and had suffered. And then, to even continue the pain, was the only thing he remembered, the image that replayed over and over again in his evil mind. There was the pained look of those sky blue eyes, before that beautiful calico that he had fallen for ran away, which only faced himself with so much sadness.

Finally, he stepped into a small clearing which only highlighted his short white fur, and then the cool breeze. With a swift nod, he almost continued on his journeys, until a familiar firm caught the corner of his eye. The beautiful, petite calico form that he had fallen so deeply in love with, yet he almost didn't want to speak. He didn't want to face the loss of heartbreak. Yet that deep,smooth voice ringed through the air as he let his eyes close in pain."Tansyflight..." Cloudflight's voice touched the air, yet today it was as if he was broken, a husk of what he was only hours before. Because he had suffered the heartbreak.

Tansyleaf is stirred from her sniffling at the sound of a familiar voice. ' Tansyleaf?' She jumps with surprise, her head shooting up and looking around. Her sky blue gaze automatically finding the blazing white form of Cloudflight. She blinks rapidly, and looks at her paws in a shy manner. " Oh C-cloudflight." She says her voice almost a whisper. Trying her best to hide her sniffles, she sits up her tail still hugging her small frame. She didn't want Cloudflight to see her like this, she realized. She didn't want him to know how much she was hurting. What if he thought her weak? Pushing herself up onto her paws, she shakes bits of grass from her fur before settling back down. This time she sat upright with her paws tucked neatly beneath her and her tail laying over the top of her paws.

Glancing at Cloudflight once more she feels at a loss for words. She wanted to confront him about his lie, to tell him how much it bothered her. but at the same time just the idea made her heart beat speed up. What if it made him angry? What if that rage she'd seen directed at Kodiak got directed at her? Nonsense he'd never hurt you, says a voice at the back of her head. " Cloudflight....." She starts, her sky blue eyes attempting to meet his but failing. Instead she looks at his broad shoulders. " Do y-you remember the promise I asked y-you to make?" she whispers, eyes flicking to his then back to his shoulders.

The snowy white tom starred ahead almost blankly, a small frown etched upon his dashing face, yet masked in a facade of blankness, yet he knew he was so very close to broken inside. Every moment of her beautiful body and face made his heart crack in a new place, and more placed then he thought could ever crack. All those former dreams of his love one day for Tansyleaf, and maybe even their future family had been crushed when he saw her with that loner, and that sad look she held when Kodiak walked away. Even when he spoke, even though the incident was only hours ago, his voice was blank, non-expressive, rather than the gentle and affectionate tone it held whenever he spoke to her. With a curt nod as she took notice to himself, her beautiful voice touched the air, which only caused himself to flinch from what he felt, the pure pain he felt. Why had he fallen for her? He should have known some other cat had stolen her heart, rather than his average self with nothing as distinct, nor his broken heart hidden inside himself. Who would love such a tom that could barely hold himself together?

In an instant his thoughts snapped back to her, his ears flicking to a perked adventure. The only emotion he exposed was the plain look upon his face, nothing distinct as their used to be, rather than the broken look in those usually bright green eyes. Finally, he heard her whispered words, where Cloudflight simply bowed his head with the pain arching through him, before he spoke, with only his deep voice blank, unemotional."I would never forget the promise." IN an instant he almost wanted to state how the promise only too soon to be broken, how he had changed so drastically in the last few hours.

Roselocke Sorry for the delay!

Tansyleaf stared at Cloudflight, into his green gaze. Only to find his gaze blank and unemotional. Unreadable, like a blank piece of paper. It confused her even more than she already was and caused her belly to twist. What was he hiding? Was he mad? Sad? Confused? She wished so bad to be able to just read minds. It would be so much easier, she thought anxiously. Watching as the tom inclined his skull, her black tipped ears flicker up at his words. She nods some, her mouth feeling dry and her heart feeling like it was going to jitter out of her chest. " I asked that you never c-change who you were, never be anything e-except the s-sweet tom....." He voice falters, and her face warms up. " Than the s-sweet tom I fell in l-love with...." She whispers, her sky blue eyes now on her paws. Her heart beat could be heard in her ears and she twitches her tail tip nervously. " but t-today on the border with Kodiak...." She shakes her skull and blinks away a tear. " You weren't that tom... C-cloudflight. You weren't even a cat I recognized. Y-you scared me...." She admits, her gaze blinking and flickering up to his green ones, willing them to show emotion any at all. " You b-broke your promise...." She finishes shakily, her whole body quivering now. What would he say? Would he be mad? Would he get enraged? Would he take back the things he'd said in the past? Would he still feel for her the way she felt for him?

Yet that same facial expression stayed dormant upon the white tom's face, the bright and affectionate glow that used to radiate off of him was now gone once more, just as it had been before. Just as his heart finally had been lifted up, it had been healed, that careful, delicate object had been smashed only once more, this time by the one cat he trusted, the one cat he let in once more. After moons of struggle, he had opened up for a final time, and yet only to be denied of his affections. Those vivid green eyes stared into her light, sky blue, and it only took every thing of confidence and will-power to stay rooted in that single spot, and not to run over there and cry and confess into Tansyflight's soft, long fur. but the second that single idea struck his mind, he was only reminded by the infamous encounter hours before, the encounter that broke him once again, where his heart received a crack-right in half. With a flick of his long, feathered tail, the tom returned to reality, to only be met with another strike of her soft, melody of a voice touching the air, and almost causing him to strain to hear, to hear the soft melody that he had missed so very much.

Even with only hours apart, he felt the pain of not hearing that voice.

but her sentence was only met with anger-anger at himself, no where near his own love. If he had not be stupid, if he had never left camp, he would been happy. He would have been ignorant to Tansyflight's 'friend' who only caused himself jealousy and pain, and he would be avoiding seeing himself to be broken once more, with his heart touched and slashed upon. Then she spoke once more, and then pain soared through him. Cloudflight almost wanted to shout into the night and let his fear and pain be released by his screams as he heard her sentence, which was now all about him. She had been in love with him. He were to always be that had been. With a final, soft, defeated sigh, he let his blank voice touch the silent air once more,"I didn't mean to scare you. but the fact that I was being broken, being hurt once more, it was worse than any feeling." That deep, comforting voice was gone-replaced by a deep toned, expression-less  voice that was exactly different from before.

Then, she finally finished her statement.

And that hurt like hell."I never broke my promise. I stated that if I ever got my heart shattered again, where that promise will be gone. My heart died those few hours ago." Yet again his voice not gentle, but rough and sharp, with his green eyes lighting up with angered flames, but that anger was only pointed at one cat.

His self.

Tansyleaf stares up at Cloudflight's emotionless eyes. Watching his every move, her heart feeling like it might just hammer right out of her petite chest. Then he spoke and his words gave her no comfort. In fact they left her feeling cold, and even more confused than before. Her black tufted ears pulled flat against her delicate skull, she wraps her tail around her tiny frame tightly. " but Cloudflight..." She starts but then he speaks again. Sending her mind only into a spin of more confusion. She stares up at him with round sky blue eyes. He really thought that she had been romantically involved with the loner. He believed that she'd gone back on her promise, that she'd given her heart to another. but this was so far from the truth, and it hurt. It hurt that the tom had so little faith in her, that he believed she would break his heart so easily.

Her sky blue eyes falls for a moment and she fights back a sniffle her eyes brimming with tears. The tears of so many emotions that she didn't know how to control. That threatened to swamp her and leave her unable to speak. To say what had to be said. Finally she pulls herself together, and rises to her delicate paws. Padding forward, she brings herself right up close to the white warrior, trying to ignore the anger in his eyes, the hurt. Her shy side wanting so bad to recoil and hide from the anger. but she couldn't, and she wouldn't hide. Cause no matter how much his words had hurt and cut her heart and half. She couldn't let him go on believing a lie. " Y-your wrong..." She whispers standing so close her breath tickled his fur. Her head tilted back so she could look into his green gaze, her own still fighting tears. " I didn't do any such t-thing Cloudflight." She says, her body still trembling uncontrollably. " I love y-you..." She says meaning the words with all her heart. " but it hurts.... that y-you don't trust me..." She adds, fighting herself not to look down, to keep her eyes on his. " Kodiak was my friend and o-only my friend. Like I t-told you earlier I hoped to have him j-join the clan. Not because I was in l-love with him but because he was a g-good and kind hearted tom." She says, her feathery tail flickering behind her nervously. " No one could replace you..." She adds her voice on the higher pitched side now, her nerves getting the better of her. " but you h-have to learn to trust me." She says lifting a paw to place over his larger one. " Because we c-can't do this if you don't. I can't have you thinking the w-worse whenever I talk with a tom who isn't you..." She adds wincing a little, and hoping this wouldn't anger him. He has to hear the truth, she thought determined not to back down. Even though she was afraid of the outcome of her words, afraid of the anger in the tom's eyes.

Most of all afraid of losing him forever.
