I Don't Have - Redtail

The scent of blood surrounded me as I slashed at the RiverClan warrior. He yelped and snarled, and I chased him off of Sunningrocks. I looked around, the wound on my head dripping blood into my eyes. I looked around and I saw more RiverClan that ThunderClan and I cursed under my breath. There were too many. This battle was lost.
I saw Tigerclaw wrestling with a RiverClan warrior, and I turned to see the warrior Stonefur snarling and lifting a paw to strike me. Hissing, I jumped to one side and leaped at the tom, and we rolled to the pebbles at the banks of the river. I lifted a paw to strike, but I was suddenly bowled over by a much bigger tom, and when I looked up I saw the RiverClan deputy, Oakheart, snarling at me.
I don't live anymore
I don't love me this way
I don't have wings to fly
I don't have, gone away..
"No ThunderClan cat will harm that warrior!" he snarled, and lifted a paw to strike. With a hiss, I kicked out with my hind legs and Oakheart flew into the boulders known as Sunningrocks. I leaped, and heard a sudden crashing sound. Before I could dash away, the rock above me fell, and I watched with horror as it fell directly on top of Oakheart.
And on my left forepaw.
I howled with pain, the howl mixing with the other howls nearby as the battle continued. I pulled myself out from the rocks and cringed and I looked at my crushed paw. I looked at the boulder, filling a mixture of guilt and sadness for the lost RiverClan warrior. It was going too far. I dashed to the bushes and noticed Tigerclaw, heading back into battle. I stopped him and shook my head.
I don't have anything
I don't need a space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have, have a space to...
"Tigerclaw, there are too many warriors!" I hissed above the screeching cats. "It's already out of hand. Oakheart was just crushed by the rock. We have to retreat."
"Redtail, no!" Tigerclaw snarled, shaking his head and dropping droplets of scarlet blood onto the ground. "ThunderClan will never admit defeat!"
I don't claim to know just why
I don't try to pacify
I don't love me just yet
I don't care, gone away
This ones mine
This ones mine
This ones mine
All mine
Not this time I won't deny
This one's mine
All this time
Not this time I won't deny
All this time, Yes it's mine
"ThunderClan honors your courage, Tigerclaw, but this is a battle we can't win!" Tigerclaw looked at me, and I thought I saw white hot anger in his eyes, but it was gone, and with a curt nod, he let out a yowl of retreat. The ThunderClan cats retreated into the woods, and I followed them with Tigerclaw behind me. The triumpht yowls of RiverClan stung my ears, but I didn't turn back.
Suddenly, there was an enormus weight on my back, sending me sprawling to the ground. I hissed in surprise and defiance and twisted around under the weight of my attacker to look him in the face. What I saw made my blood run cold.
Tigerclaw.
I don't have anything
I don't need the space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
I don't have... I don't have...
I don't have... I don't have...
I don't have anything
I don't need the space to breathe
I don't hide in sanctity
I don't need what you need
"Your time is up, deputy," he snarled, and dug his fangs into my neck fur. I yowled with pain as he dug deeper and deeper, until something cracked. The last thing I ever saw was Ravenpaw dashing away into the forest, a look of pure horror on his face, before everything faded into nothing.
You'll pay for this, Tigerclaw...
I don't have... I don't have
I don't have... I don't have
