I have decided to finally do this story because I can. That is all.
I don't own warriors, because If I did, Hollyleaf would still be alive. Hollyleaf is one of my favorite characters.
Enjoy!
Hollyleaf raced through the forest. If there was one way to get away from the wretched clans, it would have to be the tunnels that lay underground. The tunnels her traitor of a brother had used to meet with Heathertail.
Jayfeather's voice filled the air as he called over and over for her to return.
For an instant, she stopped. Maybe I can go back and all will be forgiven. She looked back towards the Thunderclan camp. And hedgehogs will fly when that happens. Everything's been ruined.
Picking up speed once again, the black she-cat made her way through the trees. A mass of bushes blocked her path. She pushed them aside to reveal a tunnel.
"Hollyleaf!" she head her brothers pant. She flung her head around.
"Don't do it," Lionblaze said, drawing closer to his sister.
"I can and I will!"
"Just come back to the camp. There's no need for this." The toms words were nerely drowned out by the sound of rain hitting hard against the ground.
"There's plenty of need for this! I'm not going back there and that's final!"
"Why are you doing this?" Jayfeather asked.
"Because this is what I have to do! The clans are ruined and I can never go back!"
"Of course you can!" Jayfeather spat. "You know Thunderclan will forgive you for killing Ashfur!"
"Did they forgive Leafpool and Squirrelflight when they found out they lied to everyone? No! They'll never forgive me either!"
"But we will!" Lionblaze held his tail over Jayfeather's mouth.
"You're not helping the situation!"
"But if Hollyleaf goes-"
"I know! Are you sure this is what you want?" he asked, turning his attention to Hollyleaf once more.
She growled, "Of course I'm sure! If I wasn't, I would have never left in the first place!" Lion blaze dipped his head and took a step back.
"You're not going to try to stop her?" Jayfeather asked in horror.
"There's no point. Once she's made up her mind, there's no changing it."
She spun around and raced into the tunnels. As she ran, to her suprise, there was silence from the two toms. Then, she heard Jayfeather cry out, "Hollyleaf, come back!" Ignoring his plea, she continued on.
"Hollyleaf!" came the terrified meow. A rumble shook the whole tunnel. She looked up at the ceiling to have small rocks fall onto her face. Then, larger rocks fell. She knew what this meant.
Running for dear life, she half ran, half slid down the wet floors. Please let me live, please let me live! she thought desperately over and over. Huge stones fell to the floor tail lengths away. She turned her head while still running.
A wall of huge boulders blocked her from turning around. A huge crack made her leap back. She faced forward to see rocks and dirt blocking her from going forward.
She was trapped.
She dug at the wall of dirt terrified. I don't want to die! Suddenly, the floors began to shake. Looking up, she saw a gigantic boulder falling down.
Towards her.
She dug even faster. The entire lake seemed to shake as the rock fell to the ground.
Silence. Nothing moved.
For what seemed like moons, the tunnels were quiet. Then, the wall collapsed and Hollyleaf, hurt and bloody scrambled out. But the danger wasn't over yet.
Summoning all her strength, the black cat sped down the hall.
The underground river came into sight and she sighed in relief.
And then immense pain struck her head, and everything turned black.
Lionblaze shot up in his bed, gasping. Sweat trickled down the fur on his face.
"It was only a dream," he whispered, relieved.
Mousewhisker looked up and growled. "And your little dream kept us up all night!" The gray and white tom curled up, attempting to go back to sleep.
Lionblaze stretched and padded out of the warriors den. The moon shown high in the sky. Jayfeather sat in the middle of the clearing, his sightless eyes staring blankly at the stars.
"Troubled?" he asked as Lionblaze sat down next to him.
"How did you-"
"I'm your brother. I can just tell. Is it that dream again?"
"Yep. I just can't get that day out of my mind. Maybe if I'd tried harder to stop her, she might not have..."
"You're being to hard on yourself. I bet even if you had tried harder, her fate would still be the same."
"How do you know?"
"Because, knowing Hollyleaf, nothing would have changed her mind."
"You sure know a lot for someone who's blind."
"I'll take that as a compliment. But, overall, I think that things are better than they would be if Hollyleaf were still alive."
"Why do you say that?"
"I have my reasons, and I don't have to share them."
"The moon sure is pretty tonight."
"I suppose it is."
An uneasy felling crept up Lionblazes spine as he turned towards the entrance to the camp. A pair of yellow eyes stared at him from the darkness. The black apprentice, Shadowpaw, bounded forward, Cinderheart and Sorreltail behind him.
"Lionblaze! Look what I caught!" he meowed setting his prey on the ground. It was a huge pidgeon nearly twice his size.
"Well caught, and on your first hunt, too!"
"Do you want it? I caught it especially for you!"
"Um, well I'm not very-"
"Sure, he'll have it," butted in Jayfeather.
The apprentice pushed it towards the two and scampered off towards the apprentices den.
"I think training him is going to be harder that training Dovewing."
"He is only four moons old."
"What? No one told me that! Does Firestar know?"
"Of course he does. But the kit's a genius. Remember two moons ago when he managed to beat Brambleclaw when they were fighting."
"They were just play fighting. He just went easy on him."
"That's not what Brambleclaw said. Hey, aren't you on the dawn patrol? Don't you think you should be resting?"
"That's right! Good night, Jayfeather!" And with that, the tabby padded towards the warriors den, only to have his dreams be filled with the horrible memory once again.
Shadowpaw is an OC I made while attempting to write a fanfiction with my friend and my x-friend. But I'm the one who made him up, so I took him and placed him in this story.
This takes place after Omen of the Stars since, as you can tell, Dovepaw is Dovewing. Though I don't know what Ivypaws warrior name is, and I just figured Dovepaw's would be Dovewing, so that explains that. Please Review! I get all happy when I get reviews!
