So this popped into my head one day and I thought I should try it. The song is Falling in the black by Skillet. Please review and tell me if it should be a one shot or I add another chapter! Enjoy!

One cat sat alone in his den. A scar from an encounter with The hidden paw laced across his now useless leg. His mate had left him because of it. Now she refused to talk to him. He couldn't protect the tribe alongside Munk anymore, heck, he couldn't even catch his own lunch! His black and white fur was unkept and matted with knots. He began to sing, something he could only do alone.

"Tonight I'm so alone

This sorrow takes a hold

Don't leave me here so cold

(Never want to be so cold)"

He began to think of his ex-mate. Cassandra. The name used to enchant him. It used to make his heart feel alive and limitless, as if he could fly. Now it made him feel dry and useless. Like a rock in the desert.

"Your touch used to be so kind

Your touch used to give me life

I've waited all this time,

I've wasted so much time

Don't leave me alone

Cause I barely see at all

Don't leave me alone, I'm..."

The tom paused to think of the right words. Black, he thought. I'm falling to hell. I'm falling. Falling in the black.

"Falling in the black

Slipping through the cracks

Falling to the depths can I ever go back?

Dreaming of the way it used to be

Can you hear me?"

He had raised his voice. He needed to get it out. To let it flow out. The agony, the pain, the yearning. He raised his voice higher.

"Falling in the black

Slipping through the cracks

Falling to the depths can I ever go back?"

The two-toned tom wondered if things would ever be the same. Maybe she still loves me, he thought. No, you're useless, you can't do anything right anymore. Face it, your days of rising to the top are over! Now you're just...

He paused from his thoughts and began to sing again, the agony visible in the song. Those had been the words Cassandra had said to him before she left.

"Falling inside the black

Falling inside, falling inside the black."

Again he thought of his love. His everything. He still loved her, even when she had left him when he needed her most. What about Jemina, or, no. Cassandra was his light. She was his love. It would always belong to her. He had done so many crazy things to impress her. He wanted her back. He felt stranded, no one could reach him. Besides, Jemina was only a kitten with a crush. It wasn't like he had a crush on her too. He voiced his thoughts.

"You were my source of strength

I've traded everything

That I love for this one thing

(Stranded in the offering)

Don't leave me here like this

Can't hear me scream from the abyss

And now I wish for you my desire"

He paused to choke back tears.

"Don't leave me alone

Cause I barely see at all

Don't leave me alone, I'm

Falling in the black

Slipping through the cracks

Falling to the depths can I ever go back

Dreaming of the way it used to be

Can you hear me?

Falling in the black

Slipping through the cracks

Falling to the depths can I ever go back

Falling inside the black

Falling inside, falling inside the black, black, black, black"

He needed to get everything out. He couldn't keep it in. He echoed the words.

"Falling in the black

Slipping through the cracks"

He paused the song again to see if anyone had heard. He gasped at the pain in his leg. The dirty bandages had started to leak after he had shifted his leg. He refused to see anyone. Jenny had tried to change the bandages but he wouldn't let her. He refused to talk to anyone. Not even his younger brother. Oh Misto, he thought, I want to tell you how sorry I am! But, you probably hate me now.

He flashed back to that day. Cassandra had left him the day before. He refused to come out for anything. All the other jellicles had left that part of the junkyard. They hated seeing him like this. Mistoffelees had stayed behind. His older brother had always helped him, he was determined to take care of him. He quietly crept up to the unkept den.

"A-Alonzo?", he called, uncertain what to expect.

"What?", was the answer he received.

"Please, won't you come out?"

"NO! I won't! Just go away!"

"But-"

"I said, GO AWAY!"

Misto lept back a little at the response, but he didn't leave. Alonzo grabbed an old hairbrush and threw it at the young tuxedo tom, not intending to hurt him. It hit the kitten hard in the head, causing him to fall in pain and cry out.

(Now that doesn't seem like much of a hit, but to a cat, it's like a death sentence! And a kitten, it would hurt much worse!)

Misto sat up slowly, his hand where the brush hit him. He felt something warm and sticky. He pulled his hand down to look at it. Blood. He was bleeding hard. Munkustrap rounded the corner, alerted by the cry of pain. He took one glance at Misto and rushed over to him. Helping the kitten up, he glared over at Alonzo's den. Misto tried to choke back another cry as he started to feel lightheaded. They headed towards Jenny's den.

Alonzo snapped back to the present. He had hurt his beloved brother, out of anger. He remembered glancing out of a crack in the den and seeing Misto. His head was bandaged and he wasn't allowed to leave Jenny's side, incase he hurt himself worse because of his current injury. He began to sing once more.

"Falling in the black

Slipping through the cracks

Falling to the depths can I ever go back

Dreaming of the way it used to be

Can you hear me?"

Alonzo raised his voice even louder. He was sure no one was around his den. It was further away from the others.

"Falling in the black

Slipping through the cracks

Falling to the depths can I ever go back

Falling inside the black

Can you hear me?

Falling inside the black

Can you hear me?

Falling inside the black

Can you hear me?"

Alonzo let the tears flow once more.

"Falling inside

Falling inside, falling inside

The black."
