Tears of an Angel - Ryandan

Part 3

Old age was the way to die, old, wrinkly and wheezy, surrounded by family and friends whilst lying in a soft mountain of pillows. I simply sighed a little as I listened to my families whispered conversations in the other room.

"Great-Grandpa Misto is going to sleep for a very long time, but he's going to see Great-Grandpa Tugger And our Great-Aunt Victoria and our Great-Uncle Plato so it'll be ok…" whispered the voice of my great-granddaughter, Eliza by the sound of it, to the younger kittens, herself being the eldest of them knew exactly what was happening and chose to let the little ones hear the softer side of it.

"Daddy? When will he wake up?" The voice of one of the younger ones, probably Marcus, asked.

"Well," Ashley started before continuing.

"What's going to happen is when Great-Grandpa Misto goes to sleep he'll go to The Heaviside lair, which is where all of us go to sleep but he's staying there this time. He'll be waiting for us though, he'll wait for us and I'm sure he wont forget us" I smiled when I heard that. There were sounds of Mira and Darin and their mates talking discreetly amongst themselves. And I heard my grandchildren talking with their kittens, some I heard were crying. I sighed as I waited for Olivia, the newest medic, to let them in.

I didn't have to wait long, they soon came in a tidal wave.

"Hey, what's the crying for?" I asked as Dani and Mol jumped onto my cushion beside me, tears in their eyes I wearily sat up and hugged them.

"Dad, he s-says that you are going to s-sleep forever, and that you wont wake up and that your going to Heaviside and we don't want that!" they wailed together as they buried their heads in my once black fur that was now a deep gray.

Soon all my great grandkittens where on my sleeping surface doing the same. I grinned a little as I hushed them, I found it rather silly, I was happy to finally find the total peace I had wanted for so long.

"Is there anything that I can do to make it better?" I asked as I stroked their fur, their parents watched helplessly as their kittens cried. There were several cries of 'Don't go to sleep!' I just chuckled when the least out-going of all my Great-grandkits, Pepper, climbed her way to my ear and stroked my head fur.

"Don't forget me, please." she whispered lightly. I lifted my arms and picked her up by the scruff.

"Pepper," I smiled as I pulled her into a hug.

"I promise on the sun, the moon and stars that I will not forget you," I smiled, she nodded as she clung to me.

"I promise I wont forget any of you" I promised all the Kittens gathered around me.

"That better?" I asked them all in general, they simply nodded but stayed hugging any part of me the could.

"I'm always forgotten," Pepper frowned as she sat in my lap. I shook my head at her.

"Never, I bet your really a shining star, you just need to find your talent," I smiled as I ruffled her head-fur.

"Thanks," Pepper smiled gratefully I nodded as my grandkits collected their kittens and got them ready to go to bed. It was getting rather late.

Later that night, when my great grand Kittens were asleep and I was nearing my time I finally called over Mira sand Darin.

"Darin" I smiled, my voice crackling here and there.

"Yes Father?" he asked as he watched me mournfully.

"First of all don't be so glum, I have lived a long life, celebrate it like you did with dad," I frowned glancing to Mira who also looked rather forlorn. They both chuckled at me a little.

"You still got it" Mira smiled.

"Damn right I have" I chuckled along with them before going back to Darin.

"Darin, remember to Protect them, you always was that sort of cat, make sure they are ok when I'm gone" I nodded they order to me.

"Mira, make sure they pass on the song" I smiled, it had become a mission of mine so that every cat and pollicle in the world knew of that song, even if they wanted to or not.

"And for everyone," I sighed closing my eyes briefly.

"I love you, and don't forget to pass that to the kittens too," I smiled, Mira and Darin's paws found my own.

"Come here you Muppets" I smiled as a small tear rolled down my face. Mira sobbed a little as we hugged for most likely the last time.

"Father?" Darin murmured. I 'hummed' as a response.

"Tell dad we love him," Darin and Mira whispered together.

"I'm sure he already knows, he's waiting for me, he's probably watching and listening to everything right now," I smiled letting them go. I closed my eyes briefly, I could hear the distant call of his song. I began to murmur along.

'Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie
It cant be true
That I'm losing you
The sun cannot fall from the sky'

I opened my eyes again when I heard other voices join in. Mira and Darin had started to whisper along themselves.

'Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an angel
Tears of an angel.'

Soon my Grand Kits, had joined in as well. I smiled as they held each other, at least I was leaving them with each other, they would look after each other. I could hear Tuggers voice, faint like a summers breeze.

'Stop every clock
The stars are in shock
The river will flow to the sea
I wont let you fly
I wont say goodbye
I wont let you slip away from me

Can you hear heaven cry
Tears of an angel
Tears of aaaaaaaa...
Tears of an angel
Tears of an Of An Angel

So hold on
Be strong
Everyday on we'll go
I'm here, don't you fear
Little one don't let go
Don't let go
Don't let go'

We sang together, all at the same time, we all knew this song perfectly, Tugger's voice was stronger now, as if in the room. I closed my eyes and gripped my Kittens paws.

'Cover my eyes
Cover my ears
Tell me these words are a lie'

I was certain that if I opened my eyes and looked past the crowd around me I would see Pepper at the entrance with her favourite pillow, singing along. Even as the song finished I heard her voice. 'love you Gran'pa' it whispered, but before I could reply my last breath left me.

"It's good to see you again, my angel," whispered the voice I loved and had missed so much, I opened my eyes to see Tuggers Caramel ones above me. I was in Heaviside.
