We haven't seen Hollypaw in a while... Here she is! Oh yeah, and thank you all for the reviews, this is my second story ^ ^ (I deleted my first since no one like read it). LONGEST CHAPTER! WOO! (so far)


Hollypaw was woken up by the pawsteps of a cat outside the den. Who could it be, out this early? Hollypaw thought. The sun isn't even up, yet! Slowly and quietly padding outside of the den, she saw her mother, Cinderheart heading towards the medicine cat den. I better help her, whatever she needs. Hurrying off the the den before Cinderheart could get inside, Leafsky was up, organizing herbs. "Hi Hollypaw, what do you need?" Leafsky asked her.

"Can't sleep." Hollypaw lied. It was part a lie- she really couldn't sleep, and the pawsteps woke her up.

"You can help me organize herbs, if you want." Leafsky purred. Hollypaw nodded, and started organizing the herbs. "Can you check the juniper berries? If there isn't a lot, you can go out and collect some. Same with the poppy seeds, too." Hollypaw followed her orders, checking the berries and the seeds.

"There are only a few left of the juniper berries and the poppy seeds." Hollypaw called.

"Okay, we'll gather some-" Leafsky's voice was cut off as Cinderheart rushed inside.

"Leafsky!" Cinderheart yelled, panicking. "Have you seen Moonpaw? I know she was here last gathering, but then she disappeared when I went to go check on her!."

"Don't worry." Leafsky soothed. "We'll find her." Leafsky brushed past Hollypaw, to get poppy seeds. "Chew on these poppy seeds. They'll help soothe your distress." Cinderheart nodded, doing as she said. "You should go to sleep. We'll find her in the morning." Leafsky paused for a few moments. "You too, Hollypaw."


Hollypaw watched Leafsky climb up Highledge, into the leader's den. Bramblestar was already up, as she could tell, hearing voices from the Highledge. Leafsky jumped down, while Bramblestar came out.

"Let all the cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Highledge!" Bramblestar called. Hollypaw saw one of the senior warriors, no, two of them come out. Graystripe and Sandstorm. Graystripe was Firestar's friend, while Sandstorm was Firestar's mate. "As most of you know, Moonpaw was here during the last gathering. But now, she has disappeared!"

Dustpelt stood up. "One of the clans might have took her!" He suggested. Most of the cats, nodded their heads, agreeing.

"Very well, that may be." Bramblestar purred. "We will put a border patrol on both the lake, Shadowclan border, and Windclan border. To prevent any other cats disappearing." He stepped back. "Clear Highledge." And all the cats disappeared into the mist.

"Hollypaw? Will you go collect more Juniper berries and Poppy seeds?" Leafsky asked. Hollypaw nodded, meaning a yes. She got up, and headed to where the berries and seeds grew- the Shadowclan border.


The faint smell of Shadowclan border was getting on her nerves. She wanted to grab the berries and poppy seeds, and just go! Slowly picking the berries, she could hear voices as she was leaving.

"There she is, she can't hear us." The first voice whispered. Hollypaw turned her head to the pine trees. They were wrong, she could hear them."

"She can, lets capture her as fast as possible." The second voice whispered. At the same time, Firepaw and Cloudtail were training somewhere near her. Hollypaw approached the voices slowly. From the pine trees, out leaped the Shadowclan warrior, Tigerheart, who was the cousin of Brambleclaw. Tigerheart grabbed her by the scruff, while Hollypaw was screaming at the top of her voice.

"CLOUDTAIL! FIREPAW! HELP ME!" She screamed. One time seemed to catch their attention, since they were charging for the Shadowclan warriors.

"Firepaw! Grab Hollypaw and run to camp!" He ordered his apprentice. Cloudtail clawed Tigerheart deeply, pinning him to the ground. "Let her go!" Tigerheart slowly released her, and Hollypaw watched Cloudtail fight as they ran off. Soon, Cloudtail was following them. Bramblestar was eating a crow by the fresh-kill pile.

"What happened?" He asked after finishing his crow.

"Me and Cloudtail were out training!" Firepaw jumped.

"I was gathering juniper berries and Poppy seeds." Hollypaw muttered.

Cloudtail explained everything. "While we were training, Hollypaw was gathering herbs by the Shadowclan border, and when she was captured by two Shadowclan warriors, she called for help. We were able to save her, luckily." Bramblestar started thinking.

"Who were the two warriors?" He asked.

Hollypaw thought for what seemed like a moon. "Tigerheart and... I didn't see him, but I think the other cat was Blackstar." Bramblestar had a surprised look on his face.

"I bet Moonpaw is in Shadowclan." Bramblestar muttered. Hollypaw went to put the berries and seeds in the medicine cat's den.
