Songfic for Greystripe and Silverstream
She was dying. Greystripe was blind to the world around him. All he saw was Silverstream. She was going to die. Their kits were going to die. Blood stained the riverbank. Greystripe let out a wail. Silverstream opened her mouth for the last time.
"Goodbye, Greystripe." She murmured weakly. He pushed his nose to her flank. Silverstream was dead.
Stay low
Soft, dark and dreamless
Far beneath my nightmares and loneliness
I hate me
For breathing without you
I don't want to
Feel anymore for you
It was a bright day, but to Greystripe it was the darkest night. He groomed her matted, bloody fur. He wailed once more.
Grieving for you
I'm not grieving for you
Nothing real love can't undo
And though I may have lost my way
All paths lead strait to you
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
He started digging in the soft muddy ground. He could feel it, but not see it. He was blinded by his grief. Grief for Silverstream, grief for the kits. Grief for his own wounded soul and mind.
Halo
Blinding light between us
Melt away and leave us alone again
Humming, haunted somewhere out there
I believe our love can
See us through in death
He put Silverstream's body in the hole. He trembled for nose to tailtip. How could StarClan do this to them?! What had they done wrong? What about their kits? They didn't even have a chance! Greystripe lifted his head to the skies and howled at StarClan.
I long to be like you
Lie cold in the ground like you
There's room inside for two
And I'm not grieving for you
He lowered his head and muttered in her ear;
"I'm coming for you."
I know it sucked, but R&R anyway!
