Disclaimer: I do not own Warriors
Author's Note: I already did this, but I just had to redo it because I had a better idea. I now officially hate doing Jayfeather pairs. I'll still do them if you request them, but I find him annoying now
Jayfeather and Cinderheart
Jayfeather sat in his den and went through a pile of herbs. Every once in a while he would discard one with a grunt. I can't believe I'm stuck in here; I should be out in the forest! Jayfeather pushed the thought away. What use was a blind warrior?
A cat suddenly came crashing into his den. It was Lionblaze. "Come quickly!" He was panting. "Cinderheart was just crushed by a tree!"
Panic filled Jayfeather. "Is she alive?" He demanded.
Lionblaze nodded. "I think it only landed on her leg."
Jayfeather stood shocked. "Oh StarClan no!"
…
Jayfeather slowly stopped over Cinderheart. She was breathing heavily and she didn't look well. Jayfeather started to pace. "Get back to camp and bring more warriors. We have to get this tree off of her immediately!"
Lionblaze took off faster than Jayfeather had ever seen him. He sighed and turned to his patient. "It's alright, you're going to be fine. Strong warriors are coming, just hold on."
Cinderheart groaned in response. Jayfeather's heart lurched.
…
"3….2….1!" A group of warriors lifted the heavy tree off of Cinderheart and tossed it aside. Jayfeather snapped out an order to carry her to his den. Please StarClan, please. Jayfeather begged silently in his mind.
..
Jayfeather worked on Cinderheart for the rest of the day until finally deciding he had done everything he could. He left Cinderheart to sleep in the medicine den and went to his own nest. Jayfeather sat down and tried to doze off, but sleep didn't come easy.
Jayfeather eventually managed to get to sleep, but nightmares haunted him. He saw a tree falling on Cinderheart, she cried out in pain but Jayfeather was frozen and couldn't help her. Lastly, he saw an image of Cinderpelt, limping through the camp with her maimed leg.
The gray tom jolted awake. He peered outside his den, it was dawn. He turned to Cinderheart and gently nudged her awake. "How are you feeling?" He prompted.
"Fine." She responded. The she-cat obviously had no memory of the accident. She went to stand up but couldn't. Cinderheart shrieked. "Where's my leg!"
Jayfeather looked confused. "It's attached to you…"
She looked down at her torso. "That's not possible!" She protested. "I can't feel four legs, only three! What happened to me Jayfeather?"
Besides his best efforts, Jayfeather began to weep.
…
Days passed by, and Cinderheart never recovered. Jayfeather sulked in his den most of the day, unable to accept his failure. He tried to blame it on StarClan, but he couldn't. Jayfeather felt torn on the inside. Cinderpelt will never be able to lead a warrior's life. StarClan had her reborn, but she still will be unable to be a warrior.
…
The half-moon was soon approaching, and Jayfeather had formulated a plan. He was going to bring Cinderheart to the Moonpool to see if StarClan could perform a miracle. Jayfeather prayed that they had the power to.
…
"Why are we going so far out?" Cinderheart complained. "It's hard to walk on three legs you know!"
Jayfeather nodded. "We're almost there."
He listened to the way the she-cat walked. It sounded like an odd limp. It was as if she was trotting when she really was slowly trudging forward.
"We're here!" Jayfeather announced.
"Wow!" Cinderheart exclaimed. "I didn't know you were going to take me to the Moonpool!"
"Go down there and lay down beside the pool. Then close your eyes and touch your tongue to the water." Jayfeather nodded.
Cinderheart did so hesitantly. Jayfeather watched her intently and wondered about what she was dreaming.
He listened intently. Wondering what was going to happen. Something strange did happen indeed. He suddenly could see. It was strange and took Jayfeather a few seconds to register what was happening. Then something even more incredible happened. Jayfeather saw Cinderheart's twisted leg suddenly straighten. It looked as if nothing had happened. Just as her leg was restored, Jayfeather lost his vision.
"Oh Jayfeather!" Cinderheart exclaimed. "My leg's fixed! How did you know that StarClan would heal me?"
Before Jayfeather could respond, Cinderheart had taken off. She called over her shoulder. "Thanks Jayfeather! You're the best!"
Jayfeather smiled softly. "Anything for you, Cinderpelt."
You guys know I love making my stories short and to the point! I know this didn't have any real lovey-dovey stuff in it, but this is more of the start of a relationship. Just in case you didn't notice at the end, he called her Cinderpelt instead of Cinderheart. R&R
Happy Ending....ish.
