The Hanging Tree

I wanted to do a songfic and I thought this song would fit. ENJOY!

key:

Bold: the authors note

slanted: something read/ flashback

Bold slanted AND underlined: lyrics


A bird flew through the burned down rubble of a forgotten city. Homes that were burned to a crisp were the lucky ones while some were just piles of dust and debris. The closest things to live were vultures who try to see if there were any scraps of "human" that they haven't picked clean. a doll was slightly submerged in the ruins; it looked lost and as if it missed its owner. The bird then flew to a burned down house that laid on top of the hill. It looked like it had much more damage than all the other houses and buildings. As if it was the first to go. The bird's final stop on this memory lane was an old oak tree. The tree looked over 2 decades-old but was still trying to make it on. the only thing special about this old tree was the initials 

N+S= <3

Then in a flash of smoke and dust, the bird had become a "human" Teenager. She placed her hand gently on the bark and rubbed the carving as a way for comfort. She looked down and saw a bouquet of flowers on two holes that were buried for so long that grass regrew over the makeshift graves. 

"sleep tight you two, at least you guys are with each other again" the girl spoke before she backed slightly away from the tree and as the wind blew through her blue and purple hair, she sang:

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
They strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

She closed her eyes and stood to feel the wind blow through her face and continued to sing 

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where a dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

The teen shuddered at the flashback going on through her head as the screams of her own, echo through her mind

"DAD! NO! LEAVE MY DAD ALONE" a little girl screeched, trying to escape her mother's grasp while her father...well her father in the form of a grizzly bear was attacking the guards and yelling at his wife to take the two scarred little twins and run as far away from the scene as possible. The bear was paralyzed by an electric rod that stuns "monsters" powers. Then a man in a Labcoat, white hair and many wires (which looked like some type of life support) prodding out his back walked up to the man who was forced back unto his "human" form, gave a smile, grabbed his weapon which intends to kill...

"You have been sentenced to death and I have evidence you. are. GUILTY"

Then the blood of an innocent man, the man who was cursed to not be like the others was spilled in front of his daughters while one of the daughter's eyes and mouths were covered. Her screams muffled and tears poured down her covered eyes. The other daughter was too traumatized to even look away, even though she wanted to.

She blinked her tears away being the one to watch her father die in front of her.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

She was practically yelling at her late father for not running but stopped herself, realizing that the reason that he did was that he tried to protect his kids.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Wear a necklace of hope
Side by side with me
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

She clenched her throat and felt uneasy, and turned her head to actually see the real monsters, corrupted and hostile creatures who were killed in their first life and forced to be brought back. However, they didn't attack. Only stared. as if they were waiting for her to finish the song.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where I told you to run
So we'd both be free
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

She turned her head again and wasn't ready for the sight she saw. Millions of spirits, undead ShapeShifter spirits, stood behind her. From Married Couples, to Elderly, even CHILDREN hiding behind their parents or holding their hands. The voices of the ShapeShifters, even her voice  echoed in unison

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where they strung up a man
They say who murdered three
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

Some of the spirits hugged each other but had serious looks on their faces as they stared at the tree She was looking at.

Are you, are you
Coming to the tree
Where a dead man called out
For his love to flee
Strange things did happen here
No stranger would it be
If we met at midnight
In the hanging tree

The spirits held each other's hands as they sang before they all faded away leaving her alone, yet again. Knowing shes the last known shapeshifter to exist.
