"his wounds are pretty deep..." stripefur mumbled. "he has a very low chance of surviving...." she meowed emotionless. mudspots was starring into nothing, her gaze glaring through everything that was so strong, it could scare starclan. (lol the randomness) mudspots turned and glared at stripefur. "j-just-can you leave." she shuddered. stripefur stared at her, mouth gaped. "i-i..." she nodded and ran toward breezepaw. "he's probably in so much pain...'
--------------------------------
tigerface was not in any pain. for all he knew, he was still in battle. he tared apart every badger he saw...he even killed the dog. he was running, and could not stop. it almost seemed like a dream. he was running still. he began to run into darkness, then he saw light. whispers echoing off invisible walls, them all saying the same words. 'tigerface! TIGERFACE!
TIGERFACE!tigerface! tigerface...' he began to panic. he tried to stop running but his legs kept going. the voices got louder, and stronger. they were screaming his name, all in different pitches. tigerface began breathing harder. he was even closer to the light. a huge mouth with razor sharp teeth appeared. it opened its mouth as if it was going to swallow him whole. "no no no!" tigerface yowled. smoke was flying around him, and whispered words he could not understand. ice cold rays shined down on his fur. tigerface tried to yell for help but he suddenly could not breathe. the huge creature growled and laughed. the vision disappeared into power and was replaced by sad green eyes. a singing voice ringed around him. "if i die young...bury me in satin, lay me down on a bed of roses..." tigerface did not understand any of this. currently, he could not think much. the green eyes slowly faded and tigerfaces limp body flew into the light. he opened his mouth but it filled with blood, and he choked on it. his eyes rolled back and he fell over. all he could see was bright lights. his eyes flew open as he felt air entering his body. he gasped and coughed. "tigerface!" a familiar voice yelped. tigerface looked around frantically. he was still a bit blinded from his dream. he was shocked that he could not move and that there was a sharp pain in his stomach. "w-happ.." he tried to speak. "no, wait! stay here!" mudspots ran off in a direction. he struggled to look over in the way she ran to. he teared up when he saw his two young kits staring at him with question. he lay his head back down when he hear mudspots and stripefur running toward him. 'sink me in the river at dawn...' he heared a voice whisper in his ear. "w-hee-" stripefur flicked her tail to silence him. "save your strength..." she whispered in a concerned tone. tigerface slowly closed his eyes. 'the sharp knife, of a short life...' the voice sang. he opened his eyes again. he looked at a small grey cat with a stubby tail. sitting next to it was another grey cat with huge, round, orange eyes. the kits starred at him. "the sharp knife of a short life..." the smaller one mewed. they had tears in their eyes. tigerface had never seen these cats before in his life. the kit with orange eyes padded toward him. she looked like a new warrior. "what i never did is done." a tear ran down her face. the cat leaned over and touched her nose on his forehead. tigerface blinked and the cats disappeared. he seemed to have regained some strength. he knew now what needed to be done. he looked up at mudspots. "mud-spots...you and the kits are the best thing that ever happened in my short life. he looked down at treekit and flamekit. "d-dont you ever...forget me or how much i loved you..." he shook. he looked back at his mate. "dont. let you, or them forget it. promise me...?" he meowed sternly. mudspots nodded. "y-yes." she whispered. tigerface looked at them sadly for a long while then he lay his head down. he began to close his eyes. "i've had...just enough time..." he slowly closed his eyes.
the last thing he saw was treekit and flamekit.
for those who have lost a loved one ...
Lyrics:
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh, uh oh
Lord make me a rainbow, I'll shine down on my mother
She'll know I'm safe with you when she stands under my colors, oh and
Life ain't always what you think it ought to be, no
Ain't even grey, but she buries her baby
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
And I'll be wearing white, when I come into your kingdom
I'm as green as the ring on my little, cold finger, I've
Never known the lovin' of a man
But it sure felt nice when he was holding my hand, there's a
Boy here in town says he'll, love my forever
Who would have thought forever could be severed by
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
What I never did is done
A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell them for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when your dead how people start listenin'
If I die young, bury me in satin
Lay me down on a, bed of roses
Sink me in the river, at dawn
Send me away with the words of a love song
Uh oh (uh, oh)
The ballad of a dove (uh, oh)
Go with peace and love
Gather up your tears, keep 'em in your pocket
Save them for a time when your really gonna need them, oh
The sharp knife of a short life, well
I've had, just enough time
So put on your best boys and I'll wear my pearls
