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!
