Hollyleaf's Escape: Chapter 2

Thanks for the reviews so far from:

and

Ebonybreeze of Stormclan

I haven't updated for a while, and I'm sorry about that. On most of my other stories, each chapter was about 2,000 words. But, for this one, I will be updating more, but the chapters will be shorter. Most will have more words then this one though.

Chapter 2 Breath of Fresh Air

Hollyleaf's eyes watered, her face wide with shock. She couldn't believe what she was about to do. She had devised her scheme, and she planned to stick with it. She shut her eyes tightly, and took a deep breath.

She went back to the glimmer of light which she had found the day before. She strained her mind, trying to remember exactly where it was. She ran through the tunnels, wishing she could follow pawsteps. She finally was 100% that the tunnel was the next, and she stepped away from the others. Running in, she felt as though she could breath fresh air again. She extended out her paw, expecting freedom. Instead, what she found was a dead end.

What! She knew that tunnel was the correct one, wasn't it? She backed up, hoping that the glimmer of light would persent itself. And it did. Bursting with happiness, she pawed forcefully at the light, and loose dirt began to fall on her pelt. Hollyleaf didn't care. She stepped back, brushed off herself quickly, then went back, clawing hard. Small rocks almost fell upon her, but she easily dodged them.

Soon, she was able to stick her whole paw out of the tunnels, feeling the slight breeze of the outside world. Soon, she was able to stick out her whole head if she climbed on rocks. Soon, she was almost free. All she would have to do is step out, into the mossy, damp forest. She took the step.

She was free! After moons, -no, season in the cave, she was free. To see Thunderclan, her old clan at last. She recognized this marshy, swampy, mossy area. It was in Shadowclan territory, near their well-hidden camp she and her littermates had once discovered. She dusted herself off, and started on towards the familiar Thunderclan territory, praying to Starclan that she would not get caught.


She finally arrived at Thunderclan territory, where she waited for a patrol. She soon spotted a border patrol, with Mousewhisker, Thornclaw, an unfamiliar young she-cat, and... Lionblaze. What would she say to him? But it was too late to ponder over an answer. She had been spotted, and all four cats were heading towards her.

"Hollyleaf!" Came the excited meow of Lionblaze and Mousewhisker, both at once.

"Hollyleaf? Your sister?" Came the shout of the unfamiliar young she-cat.

"How-Why is she here?" exclamied Thornclaw, mistrust in his voice.

After a long conversation, she learned that the young she-cat was Dovewing. She was led by the four cats to the Thunderclan camp, wondering what kind of introduction she would get.

I hope you like this chapter. Please review and tell me what you think!
