Carrie
A Songfic using Carrie by Europe. Carrie represents Silverstream.
This is dedicated to Silverstream and Graystripe.
Graystripe's Point Of View
"The kits are coming, Fireheart, but something is going wrong, get Yellowfang," I hissed, gently licking Silverstream's flank. Fireheart casted one last glance at us before hurrying way from the scene.
When light goes down, I see no reason,
For you to cry.
We've been through this before,
in every time in every season,
"You're going to be fine," I meowed to Silverstream, licking her face, "I know you'll be fine."
Silverstream didn't reply as she let out another chilling yowl of pain. I continued to lick her flank until Cinderpaw arrived.
"Whats going on here?" Cinderpaw glanced up and I followed her gaze to find Tigerclaw glaring down at them from the top of the rock. Fireheart stood beside him, gazing at them with horror in his eyes.
"The first kits coming," Cinderpaw meowed, "Fireheart, I need you." Taking the first kit, I saw her hand it to Fireheart, "lick it. Get it's blood flowing," Cinderpaw ordered before turning back to Silverstream.
"Come one, Silverstream, I know you can make It through," I meowed, gently licking Silverstream's face as Tigerclaw padded down into the hollow.
God knows I've tried,
So please don't ask for more.
"Here, chew these herbs, we've got to stop the bleeding," Cinderpaw meowed, pushing a pawful of herbs toward Silverstream who feebly licked them up.
"Come on, Silverstream, I know you can do it," I meowed to Silverstream but she gazed back at me with doubt in her green eyes. She doesn't believe she's going to pull through, I thought, horror freezing into my limbs.
Can't you see it in my eyes,
This might be our last goodbye
"The second kits coming," Cinderpaw meowed and once the second kit was out, she placed it in front of Tigerclaw, "here, lick."
Tigerclaw glared at her, "I'm not a medicine cat," he protested.
"You've got a tongue don't you," Cinderpaw snapped, "lick, you useless lump of fur, do you want the kit to die."
Even in this moment, I couldn't help but feel surprise that Cinderpaw had spoken to the Thunderclan deputy like that. From the look in Tigerclaw's eyes, he was probably thinking the same thing. Leaning down, he began to lick the tiny kit. I turned my gaze back to Silverstream's face.
Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend,
Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again,
Silverstream looked up at me and I could see her eyes were starting to dim. No! I thought to myself, feeling despair well up inside me. Please Starclan, no! Don't take her away from me, I wanted to wail out to Starclan like a lost kit.
I read your mind, with no intentions,
Of being unkind, I wish I could explain,
It all takes time, a whole lot of patience,
If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain
Surprisingly, Silverstream was as calm as ever as she lifted her head and gently licked my cheek, "Goodbye, Graystripe," she whispered, in a voice that was so calm that I was surprised she didn't feel sad that she was going to Starclan, "I love you. Take care of our kits." Then she laid her head back and went limp, her spirit joining Starclan forever.
Can't you see it in my eyes,
This might be our last goodbye
"No! Silverstream!" I yowled out loud. Why Starclan? I thought, why have you taken her from me?
Almost as if my voice had called her, Silverstream's voice whispered into my ear, "Things change, Graystripe," she meowed, "I'll always love you. I know we'll meet again, walking among the stars." And then her voice was gone.
Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend,
Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again,
Goodbye Silverstream, I thought, still yowling my pain to the stars above, we will meet again, someday, walking among the stars.
When light goes down
A/n what do you think? It's my first songfic so please be nice. I chose to use Carrie because to me the meaning of that song was the lead singer of Europe lost someone close to him. Either by breaking up with her or she died I don't know which and thats why I chose this song. Please review and I really hope you liked it.
