White paws, silver fur
Little whispers of black
Amber eyes that shined so bright
Now duller than dark grass
How did this happen, you might ask
A very peaceful night
One where the moon shined bright.
"Let's climb a tree!" she said and ran
Out of sight
Out of life
She ran so fast, he couldn't keep up
He didn't even try
He followed her scent, knowing he'd find her
But what he'd found…
He hadn't expected.
Sprawled on the ground, at the foot of the tree
Blood seeping from her furry head
Life absent from her eyes
The clan mourned, all through the night
For the apprentice they had lost
But one tom cried the most
Stayed by her side the longest
She visited him in his dreams
Every single night
They'd play in StarClan
But not in trees.
One day, as he sat alone
He pondered what to do
Live through life without his love
Or live through death with her.
At sunset, his mind made up, he jumped.
His body fell, landing hard on water
His mind light with happiness
For he knew, he'd see her
He knew this was the end
The end of Hawkpaw
But the beginning of Hawkpaw and Songpaw.
