In this story, Dovewing does not have any power (and she's Dovekit in the beginning). Hollyleaf's power will not be the same as Dovewing's.

As the brambles, the mud, and the dirt threatened to kill her, she ran into the tunnels a split second before it could fall on her. Hollyleaf continued to hear Lionblaze, her brother, calling out her name but she ignored him.
Hollyleaf has put her entire life and wrapped it around the warrior code, but the laws broke one by one. For StarClan's sake, she even ignored her leader at the gathering and spoke about her parentage instead of sitting down like she should've done. Hollyleaf didn't feel like she had a place in the clan - after all, she killed Ashfur and made death threats to Leafpool - but she couldn't just leave her brothers there, even if they held the power of the stars in their paws... and she didn't.
I'll return to ThunderClan as soon as I get out of these tunnels. Hollyleaf vowed to herself. Her senses broadened as she somehow managed to almost see where the walls were. She guessed that it was sort of like Jayfeather's blindness.
Jayfeather... Hollyleaf remembered her claws slashing his pelt as she ran, red smoke clouding her eyes as her heart had beat, frantic. Her heart lifted... thinking, no-more like hoping that it was a power that she would someday control.
She nearly crashed into another cat who's sightless eyes gazed at her. It wasn't Jayfeather, it had felt like a powerful cat from StarClan.
The cat meowed, "It's nice to finally talk to you, Hollyleaf." Hollyleaf knew his name. Rock.
Hollyleaf asked, "Do I have a power? What is it?"
"I sense a powerful buzz of power around you and it's potential side effects," The sightless cat meowed, "But I cannot tell you what your powers are. You must go back to ThunderClan immediately, for you have finally unlocked your powers."
"How?"
"Unlocking it requires a special situation, such as the one you had before. Go, Hollyleaf. I sense rain in the horizon. Let me lead you out of here." Rock pointed towards one of the tunnels, standing up. The ancient cat flicked his tail and Hollyleaf followed him.
They reached the entrance of the tunnel. Hollyleaf scrambled out, thanking Rock. Rock blinked at her before disappearing. The warrior looked at her surroundings. There was a light drizzle and she... she was on WindClan territory. Sensing a patrol coming, she ran as fast as she could, her vision red once more as she scrambled past the border, hoping that she would not be seen nor scented.
She finally went through the ThunderClan forest, where the cats, clearly that had sat vigil in honor for some cat. She hurried, wondering if this was for some cat. Her heart pounded as she desperately hoped that it wasn't for Lionblaze nor Jayfeather. The cats dispersed but Jayfeather and Lionblaze stayed behind.
"Jayfeather!" Hollyleaf called out, "Lionblaze!"
Lionblaze's eyes widened when he saw her, "H-Hollyleaf?" The two cats ran to her side, their eyes wide, even Jayfeather's sightless ones.
Hollyleaf asked, "Who died? I saw you holding a vigil." The two brothers looked at one another and Jayfeather seemed to be staring at her, even though she knew that he couldn't see her. Hollyleaf quickly constructed a mental barrier around her mind, not wanting him to prod at her mind.
Jayfeather finally meowed, "You. We saw you die." Hollyleaf blinked, confused. She did hope that they wouldn't see her but she was out of the collapse before that.
Hollyleaf asked, "You... didn't search for me?" Their silence told her the answer. The three stood awkwardly, with Lionblaze still glancing at her.
Jayfeather grumbled, "You should go talk to Firestar. I'll go back to the medicine cat den. There's more duties now that I'm not an apprentice under Leafpool."
"Where is Leafpool?"
"Do you think that I know everything?" Jayfeather snapped, "Firestar doesn't tell me anything." Hollyleaf rolled her eyes as she made her way to the leader's den. Hollyleaf didn't want to be seen at all, not wanting to be pointed at. Luckily, the cats outside seemed to ignore her as they went to their normal duties. She finally paused outside the den, taking a deep breath before padding in.
Firestar glanced up and jumped up, "Hollyleaf! Are you in StarClan?"
Hollyleaf rolled her eyes, "I'm alive, Firestar. I was just a little bit stuck."
"Lionblaze told me that he saw you die."
"I am very much alive, thank you very much for searching for me." Hollyleaf gave Firestar a pointed look, who looked a little embarrassed.
Firestar straightened out, "We must discuss about what to do with you. Are you going to stay in this clan or...? Jayfeather and Lionblaze told me that you died from chasing a squirrel and we did hold a vigil for you."
Hollyleaf sighed, "My fate is with the clan." As if they would figure out how true that statement is.
Firestar nodded, "Very well." The two cats went outside. Hollyleaf met Leafpool's gaze coldly as Firestar called for a meeting,
"May every cat old enough to catch their prey gather!" The cats assembled, each one of them staring at Hollyleaf for a moment before letting their gaze back onto Firestar, but their eyes still glanced at Hollyleaf every once in a while.
Firestar said, "Thank you for gathering so quickly. As you may have noticed, Hollyleaf is not dead. She is back with the Clan. We will welcome her once more and there should not be any questions asked." The cats murmured and Hollyleaf knew that they would definitely ask her questions, no matter what Firestar said. Brambleclaw stared at Hollyleaf, clearly in shock. Firestar dismissed the meeting and went to the forest to hunt.
Jayfeather meowed, "All of us need to talk."
Leafpool suggested, "Let's go to the forest." The three siblings as well as Leafpool, Squirrelflight, and Brambleclaw went to the forest. The cats sat in silence, most of them just staring at Hollyleaf.
Hollyleaf finally meowed, "What did you want to talk about?"
Lionblaze meowed, "Tell us everything. That's an order, not a question by the way."
"And I refuse to be ordered," Hollyleaf meowed, "Just like you always would." She flicked her tail out of impatience. She didn't come back here to be stared at. Rock had told her that she had a power - and she would not leave her brothers alone now that she would truly be part of them.
Leafpool meowed, "Hollyleaf... I forgive you for telling the clans at the gatherings. The secret wouldn't have stayed a secret for too long and it's better for it to be let early rather than late."
Brambleclaw grumbled, "Still don't see why you didn't tell me first." Squirrelflight looked ashamed.
Leafpool meowed sternly, "Brambleclaw, I asked my sister to stay quiet. Blame me if you need to, not my sister." Brambleclaw stayed silent, flicking his tail.
Hollyleaf meowed, "Is that all that needs to be said?" The other cats stayed silent. Hollyleaf stood up and padded away from all of them.
Lionblaze shouted after her, "Wait! You can't just leave! You left after you revealed it to them. We deserve an apology at the least!" Hollyleaf glanced at Lionblaze and Jayfeather, meeting their eyes like a stranger would, going back to the warrior den.
