Disclaimer- I do not own OneRepublic(artist), Apologize(song), nor warriors(book). Nor this video: If you didn't notice, this is Ashfur to Squirrelflight
I'm holding on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the
ground
I'm hearin what you say but I just can't make a sound
Ashfur watched Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw together.
Hurt filled his eyes.
'"I love you,"' Squirreflight had said earlier.
He felt foolish for believing her.
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me
down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd
turn around, and say...
'"I need you,"' she had said. '"I want you.
'"I love you."'
"I love you too," he said quietly, pain filling his eyes as he stood watching them.
"I'm sorry," she said earlier as Ashfur ate his mouse.
"It's too late to apologize," he said, his eyes dull.
She was shocked.
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too
late to apologize, it's too late
Ashfur got to his paws and walked out of the camp entrance.
"Ashfur!" he heard her call.
He ignored her.
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for
you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothin
new
He jumped into a tree and watched the forest sway in the wind.
He scented a fox, and looked around for it, his ears pricked.
Alert.
He saw Brambleclaw and Squirrelflight walking, and a shadow in the bushes.
The fox!
Squirrelflight! he wanted to call, but his mouth was dry.
As the fox stepped out of the bushes, he heard Squirrelflight gasp, but not at the fox in front of her.
"Twolegs!" Brambleclaw spat.
"They're going after the fox," Ashfur told them from the tree.
"Ashfur, get down from there!" Squirrelflight called.
He opened his mouth to speak, but watched as the Twoleg aimed the gun at the fox.
As it fired, the fox jumped out of the way, and was heading toward Squirrelflight.
"NO!" Ashfur screamed, and jumped in front of it.
I loved you with a fire red-
Now
it's turning blue, and you say...
"Sorry" like the angel
heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
Fire seared his chest and he let out a screech of pain.
"Ashfur!" he heard her voice say next to his ear.
"I'm so sorry, Ashfur."
His eyes opened and he gasped for breath.
"I never lied," he panted.
"What?" she asked, puzzled.
"I said I needed you.
I never lied.
I need you like a heart needs a beat
But
it's nothin new.
I loved you with a fire red-
Now it's
turning blue, and you say...
'Sorry' like the angel StarClan
let me think was you
But I'm afraid...
It's too late to apologize."
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too
late to apologize, it's too late
He felt her tears hit his face and he tore away angrily.
"It's your own fault.
But I still love you."
With that, his body shuddered.
He was gone.

apologize, yeah-
I'm holdin on your rope, got me ten feet off the
ground...
