Hollyleaf's voice wrenched as Jayfeather out of her terrible memories. "But they found him, and now everything's ruined. I can't stay here." Despair virbrated in her voice. "I know I did the right thing, but no cat will ever understand." There was a patter of paws as she turned and fled down the tunnel. Running forward, Jayfeather could hear roaring of the river underground, pounding hungrily against the stone. "Hollyleaf, no!" He yowled. "We can figure this out together-" A deafining rumble interrupted him; it went on and on. He pictured wet soil and rock raining down as the tunnel collapsed, crashing onto his sister, knocking her to the floor, crushing her, burying her... He darted forward. "Hollyleaf!" Lionblaze charged into him, knocking him off his pawsand pinning him down; Jayfeather writed furiously underneath him. "Let me up!" He screeched. "We have to get her out!" "We can't help her," Lionblaze growled. "The tunnel has collapsed. There's no way we could follow her in." Jayfeather lay still, panting, as the turmult of of falling earth and stones died away.
A black she-cat was collapsed onto the dark, damp earthy floor, water gurgling in the distance of the closed cave. She shifted and noticed a boulder had collapsed onto her side, bleeding in pain. "Lionblaze...Jayfeather...?" She meowed wearily and tried to wriggle from the boulder but the more she did, blood seeped out from her side crushing a few ribs and she winced in pain as a few ribs cracked in response. "M-mousedung!" She hissed and slid out some more and the black she-cat finally was free from the boulder, her side bleeding. Hollyleaf was shivering, licking her side, to clean the wounds a bit.
Hollyleaf paused and looked around in horror and stepped on the rocky surface of the tunnel and padded forward, her side winced again as her ribs hurt. "Oh, Starclan..." She meowed and pushed her self to keep going into the tunnel, rocks falling down and nearly hitting her from the celing of the tunnel. Hollyleaf heard the water even louder into a deafining roar and she padded slowly and stopped at a small hole in the tunnel walls. This is where the water's coming from... she thought and squeezed through the hole, blood from her side, once again dripping onto the rocky surface as she squeezed through the hole and slid though the hole and found herself, looking at a lush forest below her, and she was standing onto weak cliff and noticed, under the tunnels it led to a lush, countryside with a forest across, hearing birds tweeting in the distance. Hollyleaf gasped and mewed in fear as she realized how high she was up from the ground and crouched down onto the weak cliff and noticed a sharp crack below her. "Oh no..." She hissed. The cliff gave away and broke below her, Hollyleaf free-falling down into the forest below her.
