The End of a Legacy
A songfic in memory of Hawkfrost

Song and Lyrics By: Linkin Park
In the End
It starts with
One thing, I don't know why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know, time is a valuable thing
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings
Watch it count down to the end of the day
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal, didn't look out below
Watch the time go right out the window
Trying to hold on but didn't even know
Wasted it all just to watch you go
I kept everything inside and even though I tried it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when
Hawkfrost waited patiently in the bushes by the lake while he watched Firestar writher in the fox trap. Brambleclaw was late! His precious clan leader would be dead even before he could kill him! Hawfrost grinned evilly. They were so close to ruling the forest, he could almost taste it.
I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
Hawkfrost stared at his brother in horror. "I thought this is what you wanted," he spat. "Yes, I want to be clan leader someday, but I want to earn it the right way." "Fool, if you won't kill Firestar, then I will." Hawkfrost advanced toward Firestar, but Brambleclaw suddenly attacked. "I won't let you kill him!" Brambleclaw yelled. Stupid cat, Hawkfrost thought, he's ruining everything! "If this is what you want Brambleclaw, then so be it." And with that, the two brothers locked into a fierce battle.
I put my trust in you
Pushed as far as I can go
And for all this
There's only one thing you should know
Suddenly, Brambleclaw pulled out the fox trap stick and jabbed it into his throat without warning. Hawfrost stared at him in shock, and then collapsed by the lake. "I thought I could trust you, to help me avenge our father", Hawkfrost managed to choke out. Brambleclaw said nothing, just turned his head away. "I thought we were brothers." He mumbled and then, in his last final moments, Brambleclaw and him had the same vision, a vision of StarClan repeating the prophecy that had been hovering around them for ages: "Before there is peace, blood will spill blood, and the lake will run red. Sure enough, Hawfrost's blood was spilling into the lake.
"You will pay, Brambleclaw, you and all the clans will pay for what you have done!" And with that, he collapsed dead.
