Demons (songfic)

When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

She stared up at the sky, watching the stars twinkle.

"I'm sorry," the she-cat murmured, almost hearing a voice in her head, saying, ''no, I'm sorry. ''But he knew that would never happened.

"Flameshadow, it's okay." She tried to convince herself it was. ''But it's not okay. It never will be.'' And a part of Flameshadow said that this wasn't fate. Fate is uncontrollable.

And the saints we see are all made of gold

StarClan had failed her. They always did. Why should she trust them, if they didn't look out for her?

"Please," Flameshadow whispered. "Please. I need her." And she didn't know it, but one star burned brighter.

For her.

When your dreams all fail 

And the ones we hail are the worst of all

Flameshadow quietly bounded towards the leader's den, to see her father.

"I need her back!" She wailed to him.

"Flameshadow," her father said, "I have to tell you something."

And the bloods run stale

She learned. And she never told her kits. That led to betrayal.

"I'm sorry!" She cried.

"You are not sorry. I can tell you are not sorry!" The smaller tom wailed.

"All I want is the best for you!"

"Then how did you let this happen, Flameshadow?"

I wanna hide the truth

I wanna shelter you 

The she-cat paused for a moment. He was right. Her mate had killed two of her kits, and she had just sat by, and let it happen.

And done nothing.

She had encourged her mate.

"Everyone is a demon inside," she said, and walked away, leaving the tom quite confused.

Flameshadow was again, staring up at the sky.

"Why did you do this to us? I want my mother back!"

But with the beast inside

There's nowhere we can hide

And then she dreamed.

"What would you do for your mother, Flameshadow?" The voice cooed.

"Anything." Flameshadow replied, a bit mystifed.

"Anything?" It repeated.

"Anything." I could tell it was grinning.

Nomatter what we breathe

We still are made of greed

"Then do me this, and your mother will be back." Anyone could tell the spirit was lying. Except for Flameshadow, who was blinded by greed and hope.

She bit down hard. And it drifted away.

But she wasn't choosen.

And it led to her being killed.

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It's where my demons hide 

It's where my demons hide.



Everyone has a dark side.

And can be blinded by greed.

But Flameshadow didn't mean for that to happen.

She was blinded by greed.

But she was reunited.
