I DO NOT OWN WARRIORS OR "THE KILL"! 30 SECONDS TO MARS OWNS THE SONG AND ERIN HUNTER OWNS THE CATS. IF I OWNED EITHER OF THEM I WOULD BE VERY RICH AND FAMOUS.
What if I wanted to break
Laugh it all off in your face
What would you do? (Oh, oh)
"Ashfur, I don't love you." Squirrelflight meowed; her eyes were narrowed with concern. Ashfur let out an mrrow of laughter. Squirrelflight's face was serious. Her green eyes were clouded with sadness. "Y-you're serious?" Ashfur stammered. Squirrelflight gave a small nod.
What if I fell to the floor
couldn't take all this anymore
what would you do, do, do?
A black paw swiped, and Ashfur fell to the ground, blood trickling out of a deadly gash in his throat. He tried to say something, but it came out in a pained gurgle. He closed his eyes, thankful that his life was finally over.
Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Ashfur's fur started bristling, "What?!" He spat. "I loved you! I cared for you! I protected you! And you don't care about me at all! You wouldn't care if I dropped dead on the spot!" "Ashfur, please don't make this harder than it already is." But Ashfur was already gone.
What if I wanted to fight
Beg for the rest of my life
what would you do?
Ashfur watched as Brambleclaw was made deputy. He glanced at Squirrelflight; pride glowed in her eyes. His stomach churned. Please take me back! I can't live without you!
You say you wanted more
What are you waiting for?
I'm not running from you (from you)
Ashfur ran through the forest. Images of him and Squirrelflight reeled through his mind.
Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you
Ashfur watched in the background as Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw sat side by side, watching the sunset. Tears trickled down from his eyes and stained his fur. That should be me with Squirrelflight. He thought to himself and let out a silent wail.
Look in my eyes
You're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
Ashfur watched as Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw's three kits tumbled around, mewling. Those should be my kits. Squirrelflight looked up, her eyes glazed with emotional pain. She mouthed, "I'm sorry." Ashfur snarled and turned his back on her.
I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Squirrelflight slashed at a badger's muzzle, hissing in fury. The badger roared and Squirrelflight closed her eyes, but no pain came. She opened them again and saw Ashfur clinging to the badger's flank; his teeth sunk into its neck.
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am.
Ashfur stared at Hawkfrost, "Firestar will be dead, Brambleclaw would be to blame, and I would rule the forest. Squirrelflight would be yours." Dark thoughts whispered in his head. If she won't notice you, maybe she'd notice her father dead at Brambleclaw's paws. She would never forgive him. Ashfur nodded, "Okay."
Ah, ah
Oh, oh
Ah, ah
Ashfur stood on the branch separating Squirrelflight and her precious kits. Flames lapped hungrily at his paws and his fur was starting to singe; but he took no notice. "You cut me open, every day I'd bled onto the rocks. I can't believe you failed to see the blood."
Come break me down
Bury me, bury me
I am finished with you, you, you!
Ashfur curled up in a ball in a clearing. Rain poured down onto the dirt and soaked his fur. He was caked in mud. Ashfur let out a sad and lonely wail, but nobody would come to his aid.
Look in my eyes
you're killing me, killing me
All I wanted was you
Ashfur watched as Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw shared tongues, each purring loudly. Ashfur winced as he felt a tail rest on his shoulder. He turned to see Firestar, who gave him a nod of sympathy. "Hunting patrol," he meowed and gestured with his head to the waiting Sandstorm and Brackenfur.
Come break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)
Break me down (bury me, bury me)
(SPOILER! DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVE NOT READ SUNSET!)
Ashfur stared up at Hollyleaf, still clinging to the life he had left. He barely choked out these words, "Thank you." Tears streamed out of his eyes as he let his head thump to the ground and his chest rose in his last breath. The tears were still streaming, but covered up by the water swirling around him.
(You say you wanted more)
What if I wanted to break...?
(What are you waiting for?)
Bury me, bury me
(I'm not running from you)
What if I
What if I
What if I
What if I
Bury me, bury me
Ashfur looked on at the lake, his eyes shadowed with pain. Soon, they narrowed as he decided on his revenge. The sun set, leaving him in darkness; all that was visible was the outline of his fur, and his narrowed blue eyes.
