POV Hollyleaf
I snarled at Ashfur, he had been manipulating the ShadowClan medicine cat apprentice, Shadowpaw, who didn't know any better than to listen to him. "Bluestar! We all know that the things Ashfur has done- in life and now in death- are wrong! He has attempted murder on three cats, myself included, and assisted in the attempted murder on Firestar. Now he has begun to manipulate Shadowpaw, and with Bramblestar being sick, this can only end in disaster! This evil creature doesn't even deserve to be called a cat, much less to be in StarClan. He should be exiled to the dark forest!" I hissed. "Cats have been sent to the dark forest for less..." Bluestar mumbled. "Hawkfrost was sent to the dark forest, and he only attempted to murder one cat, and that was with the assistance of Ashfur." Leopardstar meowed. Tallstar and Blackstar nodded. "But, Hollyleaf, as you well know, cats have also stayed in StarClan for worse. After all, you're here, and you killed Ashfur." Bluestar pointed out. "And I severely regretted and payed for my actions. I exiled myself from ThunderClan, and few cats trusted me when I returned. Not to mention the fact that I gave my life to save Ivypool!"
I paused, waiting to catch my breath and to see if Bluestar or any of the other leaders had a reaction. "Ashfur hasn't regretted, nor payed, besides with death, for his actions. He still wants revenge of Squirrelflight, he is still trying to get revenge on Squirrelflight! And sure, we don't send cats to the dark forest for a few bad things in life, but we do send cats to the dark forest who are still vengeful after death!" I meowed. "I say we compromise. Ashfur shall go The Gray Zone." A soft, faded voice said. I turned and saw a extremely faded, black-furred she-cat with green eyes. Shadowstar. I thought in awe. The first leader of ShadowClan.
The other cats gasped. There had been few cats ever sent to the gray zone who stayed there. I myself had been there, for awhile. It's where cats stayed while StarClan decided if they would go to the dark forest, or to StarClan. The only cat that had been sent there to stay, as far as I knew, was Skystar; also known as Clear Sky, the first leader of SkyClan, and even he lived on the edges closer to StarClan. The Gray Zone was a mix between StarClan and the dark forest; a eternal twilight, with a few stars and no moon, it had small streams, a few trees- both dead and alive- and it was small, but not too small, I supposed, for few cats were there.
"That seems fair." Bluestar meowed. Me and the rest of the cats nodded.
