[Voice recording:]
"...Like last night, they are not like tremors, they are worse than tremors,
they are these terrors. And it's like, it feels like as if somebody
was gripping my throat and squeezing and..."

Some say, now suffer all the children
And walk away a savior,
Or a madman and polluted
From gutter institutions.
Don't you breathe for me,
Undeserving of your sympathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm sorry for what I did.

And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.

The hardest part is letting go of your dreams.

A drink for the horror that I'm in,
For the good guys, and the bad guys,
For the monsters that I've been.
Three cheers for tyranny,
Unapologetic apathy,
Cause there ain't no way that I'm coming back again.

And through it all
How could you cry for me?
Cause I don't feel bad about it.
So shut your eyes,
Kiss me goodbye,
And sleep.
Just sleep.

The hardest part's the awful things that I've seen.

[Voice recording:]
"...Sometimes I see flames. And sometimes
I see people that I love dying and... it's always..."

Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.
Just sleep.

[Screaming:] Wake up!

[Voice recording:]
"And I can't... I can't ever wake up."

----------------------------------------

Redwillow lunged towards Whitekit, his teethed bared and claws extended. Hate and pain and fury marred his face as he bore down on the she-kit who he believed was the cause of his most recent problems, namely the theft of his parents' affection. No one would get in the way of his revenge this time; not his either of his fathers', or his Clanmates, or any of his so called "friends."

This time, revenge would be his.

Time seemed to slow down as his claws and teeth came down on the small, trembling form of his adopted sister, yet at the last second a brown and black form blocked the way as Redwillow's teeth met fur. Enraged that someone would dare interfere with his revenge, it didn't regester until it was too late who this cat was. He just bit down harder and harder on the cat's neck, tasting blood and feeling bone between his teeth, until Whitekit's scream snapped him out of his red hot fury.

"DADDY!!!"

That one word was like a splash of ice cold water. Redwillow gasped, immediately dropping the cat in his jaws. The brown and black tom, Dogpelt, fell to limply to the ground, blood pouring from the wound on his neck. Whitekit immediately began nudging their father's head frantically, mewling pitifully. To Redwillow's relief, Dogpelt stirred, but he could tell that the older warrior wasn't far from joining StarClan.

"Dad, I'm sorry!" Redwillow cried out. "I - I didn't realize...Didn't know...P-Please, don't die!"

The wounded tom looked up at his dark-hearted son, gasping painfully for each breath. Redwillow expected to see hatred in his eyes, or at least disappointment, but all he saw in those calm leaf green eyes was love and acceptance. That look alone shook Redwillow to the core. Why? After everything he's done, why didn't Dogpelt hate him? For StarClan's sake he just tried to kill his sister! He betrayed his Clan! Wasn't that enough to earn the tom's hate?

As if to answer his unasked question, Dogpelt reached out weakly with his paw, gently touching Redwillow's foreleg. Gasping out with the last of his strength, the tom managed to get out, "Always...love you....son...." before he finally gave one last shudder throughout his body and his eyes glazing over in death.

Despite the battle raging on around him, despite his sister's wails of grief, Redwillow could hear nothing but his own blood rushing through his ears.

StarClan help me...What have I done? Redwillow thought in horror. If there was one cat in the fight he did not want to harm in any way, it was Dogpelt. But he had. He killed him, and there was nothing he could do to take that back. It was only Blackstar's cry of dispair and rage that snapped him out of his reverie. He looked up and met the eyes of his other father across the battle field, who's expression went from disbelief to horror to pure fury in a matter of seconds.

And in that second, Redwillow knew he needed to avoid the ShadowClan leader at all cost if he wanted to survive, despite his powerful urge to confront old white and black tom anyway. Because Redwillow knew Blackstar would not show him the same mercy Dogpelt would have.

Especially now that he had just murdered the ShadowClan leader's mate.

NOTES: Well, here's the long awaited sequel to . As you can see, Redwillow's design got a bit of an update. He's not glaringly orange anymore, thankfully. Cats in the picture are as followed: Background - Maggottail, Crowfrost, Toadfoot, and a random Dark Forest warrior. Forefront - Dogpelt (OC), Redwillow, and Whitekit (OC).
