I had two people wanting Runningwind, so here it is. Btw, I can't remember the direct cats that were with him when he died, but I do remember who was standing over him when he died. So, if I get something wrong (and more 'en likely I will!), tell me in a review and I'll fix it. Thanks for reviewing! Thanks Purplekit, Leopardheart, and gniph for the reviews! And yes, this has a bit of Runningwind/Mousefur in it. Don't ask, as long as they aren't brother and sister. -gags-
Disclamier: I don't own Warriors. I don't own this song either. It's No Doubt's Running.

Running - Runningwind
---------------
How glad I was to get away from camp. The wind flying through my fur made the worries that layed upon my shoulders just disappear. I was one with the wind and it let good. The best I've felt in moon, actually.
It was only me and Mousefur doing a patrol around ShadowClan. I was surprised at the she-cats speed. She almost evenly matched my own. I glanced at her, and found her looking back. I purred slightly and sped up, as if challenging her. She narrowed her eyes and there was a flicker of amusement and a smirk in them. I blinked and got faster. We continued this until we reached the Thunderpath.
Run
Running
all the time
Running to the future
With you right by my side
I slowed down, my breath coming in short pants. It was a long run from the camp here. Looking over at Mousefur, I realized she was gasping as I was. We sat down and rested for several minutes before I finally spoke. I looked at her, my eyes sparkling.
"You're fast...for a she-cat," I purred, flicking her with the tip of my tail. She rolled her eyes, a happy purr erupting from her chest. I felt my fur grow hot as she looked at me, and I turned away. I had such feelings for her, but she didn't even know it.
There was a sudden rustling from the bushes and I bristled slightly, jerking my head toward the bushes. Mousefur stifened, and I didn't dare act as if I was trying to protect her. That she-cat would take your ear off for it. Instead, I move to her side, and we both bristled, growling.
"Well, well, well," purred a familiar voice, one that made the forest under me spin with horror. No, it couldn't be. But it was. The massive brown tabby stepped from the bushes, an evil glint in his eye, as well as an angry one.
"T-Tigerclaw," I growled warningly, but I couldn't keep the stutter of surprise out, which seemed to please the ex-ThunderClan deputy.
Me
I'm
the one you chose
Out of all the people
You wanted me the
most
I'm so sorry that I've fallen
Help me up lets keep on
running
Don't let me fall out of love
"I trusted you, Runningwind," he meowed coldly, his purred cutting short as he looked at me. His huge claws scrapped the ground as he talked. They glared at me, and I could see the lust to kill in Tigerclaw's eyes. "I treated you the best. But you betray me. Why?"
I snarled slightly, my eyes narrowing. Fear pumped adrenaline into my bloodstream. "I could have never let you kill Bluestar. I am loyal to ThunderClan." Tigerclaw narrowed his own eyes and I felt even more fear pump through me. "I'm not scum like you."
That was obviously not what he wanted to hear. He growled and snarled before he leaped at Mousefur. She yelped in surprise as the huge tabby landed on her. There was ringing in my ears and a sudden need to kill. He had hurt Mousefur.
So now it was my turn to hurt him.
Running,
running
As fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it?
(Do
you think we'll make it?)
We're running
Keep holding my
hand
It's so we don't get separated
"Get off her!" I snarled loudly and threw myself at the tom. The world spun as I collided with him. I heard a yowl of pain and then a thud as I felt pain course through my body when I hit the ground. I was pinned underneath the tabby's weight. Anger burned in his eyes and I struggled, panic rushing through me like water over my head.
"Mousefur! Get help!" I screamed, and wasn't able to see if she listened. I closed my eyes and struggled. But it was no use. I was doomed. Tigerclaw snarled angrily at me and leaned down.
"You had your chance, Runningwind. And you failed it. Say hi to Redtail for me."
Be
Be
the one I need
Be the one I trust most
Don't stop inspiring
me
Sometimes it's hard to keep on running
We work so much to
keep it going
Don't make me want to give up
Those last words sent chills up and down my spine. Redtail, the bushy tailed deputy before Tigerclaw, had been killed by Tigerclaw because of his deadly ambition. I struggled, panic and fear pulsing through my body. But Tigerclaw had me, and there was no getting away. There was a sudden flash of white through my vision, and unbearable pain coursed throughout my body. I gurgled and struggled a bit more before there was another slash, and my vision faded black.
I'll never forget the horrific eyes of two warriors in the bushes behind Tigerclaw.
Running,
running
As fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it?
(Do
you think we'll make it?)
We're running
Keep holding my
hand
It's so we don't get separated
Running,
running
As fast as we can
Do you think we'll make it?
(Do
you think we'll make it?)
We're running
Keep holding my
hand
It's so we don't get separated
Fast as the wind? Afraid not...
Running,
