Hollyleaf's paws thrummed against the forest floor. Oh, I missed this forest! she thought happily. A plump, juicy field mouse scampered across her path. The stupid creature doesn't even know I'm here! she thought gleefully. Dropping instinctively into the hunting crouch, the fluffy black she-cat stalked the mouse. Hollyleaf leaped, and a shower of leaves crackled down around her. Surging forward, she barely caught it.

"Mouse dung. Sloppiest catch I've ever made." she cursed under her breath.

"What are you doing, stealing our prey?" A voice boomed throughout the forest.

"I'm sure Ivypool and her hunting patrol will be so glad you scared off all the prey. Don't think I'll hesitate to tell her it was you, either."

A smoky grey she-cat with blue eyes, a cream tom with green eyes, and a cream and brown tom with green eyes stepped out of a bush. "Who are you?" demanded Berrynose.

"Don't you remember me?"

"Should I?" he asked, puzzled.

"Yes! I'm Hollyleaf. Jayfeather and Lionblaze's sister. Duh."

"Jayfeather and Lionblaze don't have a sister." stated the smoky she-cat.

"Dovewing, maybe we should take her to Jayfeather to get checked out." meowed Mousewhisker hesitantly.

"Oh alright." huffed the cat called Dovewing. She turned and bounded away into the undergrowth.

"Hey, Hollyleaf, right?"

"Yes."

"Where are you from?" Mousewhisker's eyes showed genuine curiosity.

"I'm from…"
