The two medicine cats padded out of the den to see who the new comer was. Brakenfur and Blackoak had found him in the forest, wandering around.

"Who are you?" Bramblestar asked.

"A rouge." The tabby meowed.

"Trying to steal our prey? Or territory?" the leader accused.

"No! Never!" the rouge meowed.

"Then why are you here?" Bramblestar meowed.

"My home got washed away by a flood and I just wondered into your territory, I'm sorry if I disturbed you or your… group." He said. Spottedpaw didn't notice Hollyleaf behind her under she gasped. She turned around to see Hollyleaf's eyes pinned on the newcomer.

"What is your name?" Bramblestar asked.

"Oak!" Hollyleaf exclaimed. The whole clan turned to her as well as the rouge. The rouge stared in disbelief.

"H… Holly?" the rouge asked. And Hollyleaf nodded.

"Although, I'm Hollyleaf now." She meowed.

"Alright, what is going on?" Bramblestar asked.

"Oak and I used to be mates when I ran away." Hollyleaf explained. "But… I thought he died."

"I didn't die." Oak said. "The monster just chased me after I got my paw stuck."

"Alright, you two can play catch up later." Bramblestar said. "Now, Oak, would you like to join ThunderClan?"

Spottedpaw couldn't believe her eyes or ears. Oak must be her father! If he was Hollyleaf's mate then he had to be her father! She was thrilled when Brambestar asked him to join. She understood why, he was strongly built. And any cat who stood up to a monster was strong!

Oak meowed, "Yes."

Bramblestar nodded. "Alright then, Hollyleaf show him around." He said and then padded away. Spottedpaw saw Hollyleaf lead Oak around camp and then the two padded into the forest. She was confused when her mother didn't lead Oak over but she shrugged. Then she remembered what she was yelling at Jayfeather for.

"Jayfeather!" she gasped whirling around, but did not see him. She spotted him leaving camp along with Lionblaze. She hissed quietly. She then trudged into the medicine cat den and started to sort the herbs.

Hollyleaf led Oak into the forest, deep into it. She soon heard Jayfeather and Lionblaze padding along a little further away. They sat down in a clearing, facing each other.

"How in the world are you alive?" she asked.

"After my paw got stuck, I finally got it out, just in time but it was broken. I was able to run away from the monster with three paws, and it wasn't until I was very far away that I realized I had gone the wrong way. It soon started to rain and I couldn't find my way back." Oak explained, "I tried and tried to find you and our kits but failed. I soon took some new territory and that's how I ended up here." Hollyleaf nodded taking all of it in. "Where are our kits?"

Hollyleaf sighed knowing this would come up. "At a twolegplace. It was the only place I could think have where they would be safe. Their kittypets now." By this time her brother had caught up and she decided it was time to let it all out. She had told her brothers that Spottedpaw, Blackoak, and Icestripes where Oaks kits but that was a lie. She wasn't even their mother…
