Nothing Left To Say / Rocks (Night Visions songfic)

Song eleven of Night Visions.

Who knows how long

I've been awake now?

Cloverstorm couldn’t sleep.

Ever since he’d been told by his father to avenge his death, he’d been: haunted by strange dreams, heard unfamiliar voices, and had the feeling of being stalked.

Pinetail accidentally raked Cloverstorm’s back with his spiky tail.

Cloverstorm hissed in annoyance. “Get your tail away from me!” But Pinetail took no notice.

From his left, Fernfall dug her claws into him. Cloverstorm screeched in annoyance and slammed his paw on another warrior’s head.

Crack.

Cloverstorm leaned back, quickly glancing around him with widened eyes. Then he laughed, not believing what he had just done. He imagined the surprised looks on his clanmates’ faces when he saw the dead warrior. He laughed harder.

Perhaps there were some perks of being a warrior after all.

The shadows on my wall don't sleep

They keep calling me

Beckoning

The flame-coloured she-cat smiled a twisted grin. “Come close, Cloverstorm.”

Cloverstorm flattened himself against the wall of here he was. But where was he?

“No,” he growled, more confidently than he felt. “I don’t trust you.”

“Perhaps you would trust me if I told you who I was,” the she-cat purred.

Cloverpaw tilted his head in curiosity. “Who are you then? And why are you here with me? And where are we?”

The she-cat’s eyes flashed with something Cloverstorm didn’t recognise.

“I am Flame, the cat who killed your father.”

Who knows what's right?

The lines keep getting thinner

So this was the cat who killed Mossleap!

“Why did you kill him?” Cloverstorm asked.

“Betrayal,” spat Flame. “He loved me, but faked his death and fled my rogue group to live with another cat.” Her tone then turned soft. “Your mother.”

Cloverstorm’s anger bubbled. “So you killed her too?”

Flame purred. “As well as my sister and Mossleap’s dear friend Berryheart. Her kits and mate, too,” she added.

So this cat was a rogue and a killer. Not the nicest cat to cross.

My age has never made me wise

But I keep pushing on and on and on and on

Cloverstorm scuffed the floor. “My father told me to avenge his death, and that means killing you.”

“It does,” meowed Flame.

“So to do that I have to find you, and to find you I have to know where you are.” He adopted a forceful, threatening tone, “Where are you? Tell me or I’ll get a pack of dogs to gruesomely kill you!”

Flame laughed a tinkly little laugh. “Catch me if you can!” Then she faded into the darkness.

There's nothing left to say now

There’s nothing left to say now

I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

I’m giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

There's nothing left to say now

There’s nothing left to say now

I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

I’m giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

Below my soul

I feel an engine

Collapsing as it sees the pain

If I could only shut it out

I've come too far

To see the end now

Even if my way is wrong

I keep pushing on and on and on and on

There's nothing left to say now

There’s nothing left to say now

I’m giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

There's nothing left to say now

There’s nothing left to say now

I’m giving up, giving up, hey het, giving up now

I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

I keep falling, I keep falling down...

I keep falling, I keep falling down...

Hey!

I keep falling, I keep falling down...

I keep falling, I keep falling down...

If you could only save me

I'm drowning in the waters of my soul

There's nothing left to say now

There’s nothing left to say now

I’m giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

I'm giving up, giving up, hey hey, giving up now

(Really long silence)

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

I threw some rocks up at your window

I broke some rocks right through your window

~

Timber, timber

We're falling down

Let the forest hear our sound

Boom ba boom ba boom

Woah woah

Boom ba boom ba boom

Woah woah

Why can't I see

What's right in front of me?

~

We fall

We fall apart

We fall

We fall apart

We fall

We fall apart

We fall

We fall apart
