Song: It's Not My Time by 3 Doors Down

It's Not My Time

Looking back at the beginning of this
And how life was
Just you and me loving all of our friends
Living life like an ocean
But now the current's only pulling me down
It's getting harder too breath
It won't be to long and I will be going under
Can you save me from this?

"Come on, Tigerstripe, leave her alone," Stonetail hissed, looking at his brother. The dark tabby tom glared at him and unsheathed his claws.

"No," he snarled, glaring at his brother. "Nightspark is mine, Stonetail, and I will fight for her, whether you want to or not." Tigerstripe crouched to the ground and lashed his tail.

Stonetail narrowed his eyes as his brother jumped for him.

Cause it's not my time, I'm not going
There's a fear in me, it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won't go

His brother's long claws sank into his skin, and the two toms fell to the ground, locked in combat. Nightspark stood, staring at them in shock, as they clawed at each other and drew blood from one another.

Tigerstripe's teeth found Stonetail's throat, and he bit down on his brother. Stonetail choked in pain, and blood dripped into a puddle on the ground. His gray fur soon became red, and Tigerstripe loosened his grip.

I look ahead to all the plans that we made
And the dreams that we had
I'm in a world that tries to take them away
Oh but I'm taking them back
Cause all of this time I've just been too blind to understand
What should matter to me
My friends this life we live, it's not what we have
It's what we believe in

Nightspark cried out for him, but Stonetail didn't hear as he fell to the ground. His eyesight blurred, and he couldn't hear anything but a loud roaring sound in his ears.

Suddenly the tom woke up, and he saw several starry cats around him. Looking to his right, he saw Nightspark staring at him with terror and guilt in her gaze. What...

Cause it's not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me but it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it's not my time I'm not going
There's a will in me and now I know that
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh but I won't go
I won't go

"I'm dead?" Stonetail choked, looking at the StarClan cats. Nightspark cried out in sorrow and ran up to him. She rubbed her pelt against his, and a glittering drop of water fell from her liquid eyes. To his surprise, he felt the same water coming from his eyes.

"H-He can't be dead!" Nightspark cried, looking around at the other starry cats. She turned her gaze on Stonetail and cried, "We're part of a prophecy! If he dies, I can't complete it!"

One of the starry cats walked up to them.

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

But it's not my time I'm not going
There's a fear in me it's not showing
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
But it's not my time I'm not going
There's a will in me and now it's gonna show
This could be the end of me
And everything I know
Oh

There might be more than you believe
(There might be more than you believe)
There might be more than you can see

"Relax, young cats. He will not die," he meowed, flicking his tail toward Stonetail. Nightspark gave an audible cry of relief, and the two rubbed their pelts together. "You both will not be able to die until after the prophecy is complete."

Stonetail nodded his head.

A flash of white clouded his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was in the medicine cat den. Tigerstripe was staring blankly down at him, his face unreadable. "How did you live?" he demanded. "That bite should've killed you."

The grey tom flinched at the disappointed tone in his brother's voice, but he rasped, "It's not my time."

But I won't go
No I won't go down
Yeah

TADA!!!
