(Leaf – Hollyleaf)

I ran down the tunnel I could hear Lionblaze and Jayfeather calling my name "Hollyleaf, wait please wait!" My teeth tightened around the branch of death berries as I heard Lionblaze yowl. Suddenly a loud boom echoed in my ears, I looked up to see rocks and mud pouring down on me. "HOLLYLEAF!" was the last thing I heard.

I struggled to open my eyes, I tried to breath but I only breathed in dirt. It was complete darkness, I tried to stand up but I was pinned down. I felt around for the death berries but they weren't there, that's when I heard the river. I sighed; I must have knocked them into the river when I fell. My eyes started adjusting to the dark and I saw the pile of dirt on top of me. I couldn't see away out of this.

Movement in the corner of my eye startled me. Bright yellow eyes looked into mine, as it walked closer I could see it was a tom cat with big black paws and a deep brown tabby pelt. He looked a lot like Brambleclaw but younger. The cat gasped seeing me and grabbed onto my scruff and pulled, but the rocks were too heavy. The cat let go of my scruff and started digging around me.

After hours of digging the cat stopped and pulled on my scruff, I still didn't move. "You could help" the cat snarled. I pushed my paws deep into the dirt and pulled then I felt myself slide forward a little.

Finally I was free. I tried to stand up but the cat put his paw on my back. "No, you need to rest first. My name is Tab, yours?" he said. "My name is…" I couldn't tell him my name is Hollyleaf it would be too hard for me. "Leaf, thanks Tab you saved my life." I finally said. "Well it's nice to meet you, and I didn't save you, you helped get yourself out." He purred. I just flicked my tail.

"Ok can I get up now" I meowed and pushed myself up. It hurt to stand and I stumbled but I was able to get my footing with Tabs help. "Where are you planning on going?" he asked. "I don't know, I'm just going." I answered. "Why don't you come with me, the others mostly keep to themselves" he meowed. I think a second but I thought I couldn't go back to the clans and he is nice. "Ok I will go" I meowed at last.
