This the story of Hollybranch of BreezeClan. Life was perfect for her, until the time she was captured by Twolegs... Will she escape?

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Warriors. However, I do own most of the characters used in this story.

One more thing, this story was written for a challenge on Pebblewish's form, SnowClan, (which you should really check out) and not planned.

"Hey, Hollybranch! Wake up," Someone said, poking her side. Hollybranch stretched and stood up, it was the deputy, Snowleap.

"What is it?" Hollybranch asked, smoothing down her pitch black coat.

"I need you to go on a hunting patrol near the mountains. The prey pile is the lowest it's been in moons." Snowleap explained. "Firestorm will be on the dawn patrol instead and Cardinalsong and Yarrowtail already took two hunting patrols."

Hollybranch nodded and called to Brambleberry, Hickorypaw, and Bravespirit. The four cats left the ravine that formed BreezeClan's camp. Soon, the heather and grass of BreezeClan's fields disappeared, turning to hard stone. This was the first mountain of the Highpeaks, as the mountain range was called.

Turning to the patrol, Hollybranch commanded, "Brambleberry and Hickorypaw will hunt at the bottom ends of the mountains. Prey is richer there so you should be able to find a lot. Bravespirit and I will head to Smoky Peak and hunt there. Okay?"

Smoky Peak was a small mountain so dark that at night it was impossible to see. It was a great place to find eggs and young birds, including rabbits and hawks. The only downside was its closeness to a Twolegplace. Brambleberry nodded and went off with the apprentice.

"I think this is enough, right?" Bravespirit dropped a small rabbit on the prey pile. So far the two had caught a hawk, two rabbits, and three eggs. It was a great hunt.

Glancing at the ginger tom, Hollybranch nodded. "Let's go-" She broke off when a loud bang went off above them, apparently some Twolegs had thought it was a great day for hunting too.

Bravespirit jumped, not even he was brave enough to face armed Twolegs. "We should go." He grabbed the hawk and two of the eggs.

"I wonder if we should check it out. Who knows, they might leave some of whatever they killed behind." Hollybranch gazed at the ledge where the sound had come from.

"No, no, no, no." Bravespirit dropped the prey he had caught. "RockClan has lost five of their cats from Twolegs."

Oh please, Hollybranch rolled her eyes. "Come on. I'm Hollybranch of BreezeClan. No dumb Twolegs will capture me."

She wasn't being arrogant, Hollybranch was a prodigy within her Clan. The best fighter, and not a bad hunter either, no one could deny her strength, cleverness, and bravery. Several toms adored her, many of whom had asked to be her mate, but Hollybranch wasn't ready for mates and kits yet. Even so, many she-cats were jealous of her for this.

"Fine, but don't say I didn't warn you." Bravespirit grabbed his portion of the prey and walked off to the camp.

Climbing up a rocky slope, her green eyes opened wide, Hollybranch's attention was captured by the Twoleg noises ahead. They, a interesting but destructive creature, was her weakness. Any chance to find out more about them was taken by her immediately.

One more leap brought her to the top of a boulder, giving her a clear view of the Twolegs. There were four Twolegs crouching beside a dead deer. Two held shiny sticks about half their height. Hollybranch risked coming closer, her curiosity getting the best of her.

Suddenly a mesh of silver vines enclosed around Hollybranch. She jumped and saw a fifth Twoleg holding the tangle of silver vines around her. The Twoleg looked down at her, showing its teeth and saying something to the others.

Two walked over, one whispering something while the other one yowled at the Twoleg holding the silver mesh around her. The silver mesh Twoleg yowled something back before turning the mesh over. Hollybranch fell back and found the new exit blocked by more silver, hard vines.

~~Two Days Later~~

Hollybranch risked leaving the silver mesh, or 'cage' as some kittypet she met to explore her surroundings. After her capture at Smoky Peak, the Twolegs had placed her in the belly of a monster and brought her to a strange place that stunk of Twoleg stuff. Some Twoleg with a white coat had placed several painful needles in her. Now she was in one of the Twoleg's nest.

Spotting an opening to the forest, Hollybranch raced for it, but found herself blocked by some clear, hard stuff. "Stupid Twolegs! I don't belong in here." Hollybranch spat, starring out into the green trees.

Behind her a noise came, but when she turned it was too late. A Twoleg had latched onto her scruff with a massive pink paw. Hollybranch tried pulling away, but it was useless. The Twoleg used another pink paw to place a pink collar around her neck.

"No!" Hollybranch yowled, but the Twoleg just walked off.

Horrified, the black she-cat tugged and pulled and scratched at the pink collar. But it didn't come off. Giving up, she searched the rest of the nest. Every opening just led to another room within the nest or was covered in the invisible barrier.

Hollybranch eventually just collapsed by two dishes, one with stinking Twoleg water and the other with soft slop from a can.

~~A Month~~

Hunger and thirst drove Hollybranch into gulping down the water and swallowing the soft slop. The water was horrid, but the slop was okay at best. Despite her frequent patrols of the nest openings, Hollybranch never caught even a glimpse of her Clanmates, or any Clan cat for that matter.

The Twoleg didn't seem as bad as the others. It was the only one living in this nest and rarely tried to touch her. Never very loud either, it kept the dishes full and only occasionally tried to pick her up.

I guess this is okay. Hollybranch thought after finding no escape routes. Kittypet life isn't too hard and I am definitely never going to get out of here.

Me again. Sorry for the lame ending, but what did you think? I may one day add to this story. But, who knows. Bye!
