Firefly Glen [M] stop, don't save yourself

once again leaving this funny little song for lyrics

I'll change my ways if you would stay
And all your tears that you have cried will go away

He desperately wanted her to run, but he knew by now Polaris Tonrar was never one to listen to reason, not when her family was involved. The blur of white went unnoticed to him however as he was slammed into the ground. She was fighting for him, she would always fight for him. The sounds of the bear seemed to drown out as a ringing filled his head. Somewhere amongst the noise, he could have sworn he heard Polaris. Had she seen him fall? Was she running?

Oh, just grant me one more day
Oh, my love, please don't give up

He needed to reach her, he needed to run too, though as he lifted his head to search he found his dove pressing against him. What are you d—doing? We have to go! His voice was raspy, a slight waver hinting the worst had yet to come though he tried to hide it with a cough. However, as he shouldered himself to try and sit up the weight in his body only brought him back to the cold embrace of snow, a pain ricocheting through him from his neck down to his flank. It was then that the realization dawned on him he wouldn't be able to keep up. She had to go without him.

See the Devil at my door
I see the future of the ones that I've ignored

A tightness squeezed his chest as West tried to keep the tears that pricked his eyes from showing. He couldn't cry now, Polaris would never go. She was begging him to get up though at this point his blood had visibly stained the snow around him. G-Go, I'll catch up. He did all he could to try and prove it, from the look he gave her to the slight shuffling of his legs though it was obvious how labored his breath had become, I just...I need a second— 

Despite the strain, really West got nowhere. It was as if someone had replaced his bones and flesh with bricks...had he always been this heavy? Some movement behind Polaris caught his eye, though when he tore his attention from his love it wasn't the bear he saw. It was @Leta with @Osiris trailing at her side. He blinked, confused for a moment until a familiar hulking figure followed just a few steps behind. @Greyback . They were waiting for him.

I guess I was born to be at war
And, my love, I won't give up

​Whatever self-control he had before was now gone. A sob choked him as he pressed his head against the snow, tears freely pouring down his cheeks. This wasn't supposed to happen. They were supposed to live their lives together. He needed to get up, he told her he loved her so they wouldn't lose each other. How could he be the one to leave her? Just one more day, one more chance to run, to live, to love. Pol—aris. I'm so sorry.

I love— you—

p-please, go—

The words barely made it out of his mouth before he stilled, a pathetic smile given quickly before fading away. It was his last request, that if anything, she could at least have what he could not. Even if it meant waiting a lifetime to have her by his side again, he needed her to live for them both.

So, my love, please don't give up
