When Scourge and Brick came to the entrance of the two-leg building, Holly was hissing sharply at Bone. She had new scratches on her shoulders. "Bone, step back!" Scourge moved to where Bone had been. "Holly, stop this now!" He growled at her and lashed his tail. Up until now, Holly's family had been waking up slowly. Green padded over to Holly quietly. "Holly, stop. You're scaring the girls." Green's voice was soft and gentle as he spoke. Holly narrowed her eyes a moment before turning away, sheathing her claws. She went over into the shadows more and slumped to the ground, falling unconscious. Green didn't so much as glance at the three toms as he went over and lay down next to her. Rose hissed at Scourge before she and Lilac went over and began licking Holly's cuts. Scourge let out a soft growl before flicking his tail and leaving. Bone and Brick took their places in the entrance.

Holly woke a while later and glanced around. Once again her family had fallen asleep around her. "I just can't stay here. If I'm here much more, I'm going to become a monster." She thought to herself, standing up shakily. She stepped between Green and Lilac. Bone and Brick were still at the entrance when she padded over. As she got closer, Bone growled at her but didn't lash out. Holly took a step back, smirking slightly. She moved forward quickly and charged between Bone and Brick. Both the toms had unsheathed their claws when she woke up. They lashed out at her when she charged them. Holly raced for the entrance, stretching her body as far as she could to go faster. She could hear Bone yelling at Brick as they ran after her.

Holly could feel tears running down her cheeks as she ran through the entrance of the camp. The two cats standing guard yelled at her as she passed by them. As they were about to go after her, Bone and Brick came out of the camp. "Leave me alone!" Holly stopped a moment and turned to face them, hissing as the tears ran down her whiskers. Bone smirked and let out an ear deafening yowl. He and Brick moved closer to her, and she backed away from them. Scourge padded out of the camp and stalked up behind the two. "Don't be stupid, Holly! Come back in willingly, and we may not hurt the others." Scourge smirked and growled as he spoke. "Never! Even if I leave now, they'll find a way to get back to me!" She hissed sharply at him and snarled. Scourge flicked his ear, Bone and Brick moved closer to her, too quickly for her to react as they both flung themselves at her. Holly smacked hard into the wall and fell to the ground. She tried to push herself up onto her paws, but her legs gave out under her and she fell. Bone and Brick approached when she didn't move. As they picked her up, Scourge narrowed his eyes. Her claws had been unsheathed this whole time. He looked away and moved in front of the two to lead them back in.

When Green finally woke up, he yawned and looked over for Holly. He jumped to his paws when she wasn't there. At his sudden movement, Rose and Lilac woke up. Not only was Holly gone, but no one was blocking the entrance. "Girls… Holly's gone!" Green's voice sounding panicked as the girls stood up. Rose and Lilac glanced at each other before running around, looking for Holly among the shadows. "She really is gone," Lilac's voice was no more than a whisper. Rose padded out of the building and looked around a moment. She froze when she saw Scourge coming into sight, with Bone and Brick following right behind. Rose narrowed her eyes to try and get a better look at what they were carrying. "Green, Lilac! Come look! I found Holly!" In a split second, Green and Lilac were at Rose's side as she stepped out of the entrance about a tail length. Scourge glanced over at her and let out a sharp hiss. Rose glared at him and stayed where she was. Her eyes softened when they didn't head toward her. They were taking Holly further away. Rose stepped out farther and watched them pad out of sight. She sighed and went back over to Green. Lilac was crying softly in the back as Rose and Green went over to her, sitting by her side.

So sorry! I haven't updated since last week. I'll try to update soon. Next time I'll hopefully have twice as much as this but I'm not going to make any promises. :)
