Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors or the song Runaway by Linkin Park.

Graffiti decorations
Under a sky of dust
A constant wave of tension
On top of broken trust
The lessons that you taught me
I learn were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Paper bags and angry voices
Under a sky of dust
Another wave of tension
Has more than filled me up
All my talk of taking action
These words were never true
Now I find myself in question
(They point the finger at me again)
Guilty by association
(You point the finger at me again)

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind
I wanna run away
and open up my mind

Jaypaw's fur bristled angrily. "Little? I'll show them!" He hissed. His tail lashed from side to side and his sightless eyes narrowed in fury.

He was tired of cats calling him weak and worthless. Even his own mentor, Leafpool, grew tired of his company! His siblings backed him up, but they needed to realize that he didn't need help! He was perfectly capable of looking out for himself!

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

He paced the camp angrily. He had wandered to far from camp, and ended up in WindClan territory. As a result, he had been confined to camp.
I was doing fine! I don't need warriors looking after me! He thought angrily. All cats seemed to do these days was fuss over little things.

Including him, to Jaypaw's great distaste.

Great. Another boring day or collecting boring herbs in the boring forest. StarClan, why couldn't something exciting happen today? Jaypaw thought angrily. His paws kneaded the ground. Just because I'm blind doesn't mean I can't have fun! I can hunt and fight and play like any other cat! They just need to give me a chance!

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Jaypaw angrily watched his siblings standing at the edge of camp, about to go out on battle training. Lionpaw trotted through the tunnel, his tail raised. Hollypaw turned and gave him a sympathetic glance before following her brother.

Jaypaw growled angrily under his breath. He didn't need anyone's sympathy, especially Hollypaw!

I'm gonna run away and never say goodbye
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and never wonder why
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)
I'm gonna run away and open up my mind
(gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away gonna run away)

Jaypaw stared up at the stars. Okay, Spottedleaf. This is your great plan? I'm supposed to sit around in a den full of herbs learning how to be a medicine cat? I'd really rather be doing something useful, like hunting or patrolling. Jaypaw sighed. But if you insist…

I wanna run away
Never say goodbye
I wanna know the truth
Instead of wondering why
I wanna know the answers
No more lies
I wanna shut the door
And open up my mind

Jaypaw stood watching Firestar and the old cat. They were the three cats in the prophecy. Him and his siblings. Jaypaw, Hollypaw, and Lionpaw.

His heart lifted slightly. He was part of a prophecy. He would make the Clan great. He was going to show everyone that he wasn't just a burden!

One day, he thought to himself. We'll be so powerful that we'll command even StarClan!

A/N: Well, Brambleclaw – One of Us is next, since that's the last one. I'll then have votes on "Themes" for the songs and storylines. I will try to work in as many requested songs as possible, but I might not be able to do them all. Please do not send in ideas for themes until the next chapter is up.

Thanks.
