Stairway to the Skies

Songfic by Leopardclaw

This songfic is a songfic of The Pain a bit. I suppose you could use it to describe a leader too, losing a life, or StarClan in general. Normal=Story/speech, Italics=Lyrics ''Seven seconds to the rise

Can't believe I'm still alive

And heaven was waiting for me

I thought this would be the end

But I know you'll understand

All that is keeping me here''

I know you said that your death shouln't get to me, but it has. Cinderpelt was right. The battle has jeopardised my prophecy. I don't know how I can survive without you. My best friend.

''I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind''

And then, you were so young. So much life left in you. pulled away. I wish you could see me. I know you can see me. I wish we could walk and share memories, with unlimited time, not in a green meadow, or stars in our eye

''My senses tell me I have changed

But one thing still remains

I'm torn and the hate's still aching

I slowly start to realize

We won't reunite

I still have to march on through''

Why did you leave me? Tell me I'm the claws? Why did you have to die? Both of you!

''I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind''

I'd hoped that we colud be elders together. Share stories of battles won with curious kits. That will never happen now. Who took your life?

''Is it a curse

or a virtue

Have I been blinded by regret

Perdition awaits

My soul is at stake

Will I find a stairway to the skies

In the end?''

Barkface, I admired you. Then you were murdered. By Onestar. He does not deserve even to be called Onestar. He is Onewhisker to me. And Lavenderwish. I remember my first day in camp like yesterday. You showed me round, you looked out for me. I heard you cheer my name louder than any other. I knew you as my best friend.

''I dream of a stairway to the skies

My angel is coming down from heaven to take me

I reach out but then you fade away

Whenever you call for me

Know that I'm only one step behind

Know that I'm only one step behind''

I do not know who cruelly slaughtered you. ThunderClan. I hate them. I will find out. I will take revenge.
