AWAY FROM YOU

A Lion x Frost Songfic

"Lionpaw, from this moment on, you will be known as Lionheart. You have proven your loyalty to your Clan through sorrow and hardship. May StarClan light your path." The old leader grinned as Lionheart licked his shoulder. "Lionheart! Lionheart! Lionheart!" I chanted. Thistleclaw and Tigerpaw looked angry. I didn't know why. Tigerpaw was a very new apprentice. I entwined tails with the new warrior. "You were great," I purred. He responded by licking my ear lovingly. I couldn't imagine anything better than Lionheart existed. I flicked my tail across his flank. He touched his muzzle to mine. Then, Lionheart was called over to sit his vigil. The moment was over.

Oh, I feel so bad tonight
My friends aren't cuttin' me any slack
How it pains to be away
Away from you
I know you'll sing me a song
When I come home

Can't you see that I must go now
I don't have any sort of idea how
I'll be able to see you tonight
So, good-bye, and to me please hold tight

I know you'll sing me a song
When I come home

Oh, I feel so bad tonight
My friends aren't cuttin' me any slack
How it pains to be away
Away from you
I know you'll sing me a song
When I come home

Featherwhisker examined me carefully. "Frostfur," he announced at last, "you are expecting kits! Who is the lucky father?" I felt so overjoyed that I stammered over my words and couldn't get them out. I dashed off to go tell Lionheart. I knew he would be proud. If one day both of us died, I hoped my kits would make our blood be respected long after StarClan had received us. I hurriedly told Lionheart the good news. He purred and wouldn't stop. ...So, when I saw him there, dying, I knew that StarClan was punishing me. For what? For being rude to Ravenpaw? His fault. For not accepting Firepaw with gratitude? He's a kittypet. I bowed my head and told Greypaw that I wanted to grieve. He understood, but I don't think he knew why. He just assumed I had been his apprentice, or that I had mentored him. I quickly buried my muzzle in his fur.

Why did you have to leave me
You don't know how it hurts
Why did you have to say good-bye
When that would only make it worse

I know you'll sing me a song
When I come home

Oh, I feel so bad tonight
My friends aren't cuttin' me any slack
How it pains to be away
Away from you
I know you'll sing me a song
When I come home

The Twoleg monsters crashed down the trees. They were destroying everything I knew. Speckletail wailed. I sighed. Her mate, Redtail, had been killed by Tigerstar. He was noble. She hardly remembered him, though. I remembered Lionheart clearly. His deep voice, his proud walk, his valiant actions. He was an intelligent, brave cat, and ThunderClan respected him. Maybe they would respect me one day, too. As I braced myself for death, the monster roared over me and Speckletail. Good-bye, world. Lionheart walked over to me, and I knew I was dead. We brushed muzzles. I loved him, and I wanted him to know that I was happy now. He didn't need to do anything more for me.

I'm here with you, and I ask
What is behind that golden mask
Are you happy now that I'm with you
Or is there anything you want me to do

I know you'll sing me a song
When I come home

Oh, I feel so bad tonight
My friends aren't cuttin' me any slack
How it pains to be away
Away from you
I know you'll sing me a song
When I come home

How it pains to be away
Away from you

How it pains (oh, how it pains) to be away (away, away)
Away from you (from you, oh yeah, away from you)
