Bramblethorn,
Where to start? I have so many things to say to you. I thought I would write you this letter to tell you how I feel about some things. As you know, I'm not too good at saying things face to face. So I thought it would be better to write how I feel, where I don't have any fear of saying something wrong and I won't twist up my words. I'm hopeful that you're able to talk to me once you read this and get back to me on it, please and thank you!
Recently, I've realised that you've been doing really well with hunting, and I think that is really great! I'm proud that you're doing so well for yourself and for the clan! Your battle training always leaves me in awe whenever I see you doing it, you always look so graceful and elegant when leaping from tree to tree or when you're working on your moves and techniques. I find it very enjoyable to watch. Maybe you could even go easy on me and teach me how you do those amazing tricks one day? I'd absolutely love that!
Your parents may never have thought that you were worthy of accomplishing much, but you've proven them wrong. More than wrong. You always have. You've always pushed yourself to the limit, even when you didn't think you could keep going or it seemed too hard. Your determination astounds me and it really is a trait to be treasured by many. You no longer need to worry about your brother's achievements overshadowing your own or not being good enough. You no longer need to be the best at everything you do in order to please cats that you never liked. We are here for you, all of us. We all love you just the way you are, no matter if you fail or fall. Just as long as you try and be yourself.
In saying this, you really have earnt your place in stormclan and we have all loved the change that you went through. From snappy rogue to a happy, bouncy clan cat with a lot of determination to do what's best for everyone. I mean it when I say that everyone adores you, even if you don't think they do. I know that thistlespot finds you a worthy opponent for battle training and loves challenging you because of it. Wolfstar admires your determination and your spirit, neither of which ever seeming to fail! Icewing admires your pelt and swirl of colours, something she wishes that she had. Dovecall admires who you are and your friendship, he loves to tell you everything because he feels like he can really trust you. Smudgenose admires you for the way you're able to stand up for what you think is right and wishes that he one day will also be able to do the same. Thunderkit loves to play with you and loves the colour of your eyes, or so he keeps telling me at least. Then there's me. I adore absolutely everything about you, but I'll get to that a bit later.
Life can be a silly little thing, you're never too unsure on how your paths meet someone or just how things happen. Most even seeming coincidental. The way we all ended up in stormclan is definitely an interesting one, but I feel that it is no coincidence. All of us were brought here for one reason or other. Whether from our own will or by some other outside force. Either way, I'm glad our paths met. I can't express how happy I am to have you in my life.
I'm honestly so relieved to see how happy you've been lately. Such a bleak and dull way to look at the world, always being afraid of something going wrong or not the way you'd expect it to be. It has now changed into eyes full of life and a cat that is trying her best for not only herself, but for everyone else too. I've seen you go from sad and angry at the world, to a much happier and better cat, which honestly just makes me so happy to see how far you've come.
Now I know that you have had and may still have feelings for dovecall, which I really do respect the decision you took to remain friends with him. I will always support your friendship with him and I honestly think he is a really good cat! I'm glad he was able to change your perception of thinking to a much happier one from when you first arrived to the clan. He is a cat that I look up to and strive to be just as happy as. One day I might even be.
But there's something I'd really like like to tell you...
Bramblethorn... I've liked you for a long time now and I'd like to ask you a question. Would you like to do me the honour of becoming my mate? It would make me very happy to have someone as special as you to call mine. If not, that is okay! I'm more than happy to remains friends and I will be happy to support you either way, just please let me know how you feel? I'm happy with whatever the outcome and just want you to be happy, no matter who you end up with. I will gladly toss my feelings to the side if it makes you feel better. Because in the end, I don't want to hurt you or force something upon you that you don't want. It is all up to you!
I honestly love everything about you. From the way your eyes light up when you get excited or hear something that makes you very happy, the way you fluff your pelt up on cold nights to stay warm, the way you never give up despite how you may be feeling or even just the gentle way your tail sways in the breeze when you're feeling calm. Please, never change how you are. It's what makes you, you. It's unique and I love it, just how I love you.
Love from your hopeful new mate, Finchfrost <3. (1,042 words)
extra:Bramblethorn's face instantly lights up after reading such words from the warrior that she had looked up to and liked for quite some time now. She felt eccentric just seeing the words, being able to read how accepted and proud of her that someone else was of her. She felt free of her parent's grip on her. Alive, once again.
Finchfrost was just behind her, nervously shuffling his paws on the forest floor, unsure of how she would react to his thoughts.
"Of course finchfrost!" She happily yowls out, quickly moving to place her head under his chin, rubbing against his chest fur.
Finchfrost, instantly becoming a jumbled mess. His cheeks go bright red as he has just realised what has happened.
"You... You will?" He looked at her, curiosity in his cool blue gaze.
"Of course, silly! I've..." She takes a step back and nervously looks at the ground.
"I've liked you for quite some time too." She couldn't get the words out quick enough as this time, it was finchfrost's time to do the cuddling.
He was so happy with how this turned out and couldn't stop purring at the thought of someone so perfect being his mate. (200 words exactly)
