Chapter Seven

Nine live's

Lionblaze stood shocked, looking down at Heathershine. She looked like she did in his dream. Her head thrown back, blood clotting her fur, and dripping from her whiskers, her eyes glazed...then it hit him...she was dead. He thought he'd be happy he'd killed her, he wasn't he'd killed a cat. This wasn't...this isn't what he'd wanted. He prayed starclan would forgive him as he walked back to camp.

Hollyleaf looked up from beside Crowfeather. Jayfeather stared at the ground, shock in his blind blue gaze. He's killed Crowfeather. Lionblaze stumbled through the camp entrance, something in his mouth...a cat...Heathershine.

"Great Starclan! What the hell did you do?! Both of you?!" screeched Hollyleaf. Lionblaze dropped the body and looked blankly at her, Jayfeather gave her the same stare.

"What do you mean, B-... is that...Crowfeather?" Lionblaze asked, staring at his brother.

"He killed Leafpool. He killed my mentor...what was I supposed to do? Let him go? What's your excuse?" Jayfeather spoke in a hoarse whisper. Lionblaze paused.

"Revenge. That's my reason. And I feel bad about it too." he said, trying to notso just how bad he felt. Hollyleaf snorted stiffly.

"Well whatever happend, it's over now. Hollyleaf, it's time for you to get your nine live's. you should come to lionblaze, to be forgiven." They nodded, and after leaving Brambleclaw in charge, ran off.

"So all you do is lap up some water, and go to sleep. When you wake up, we'll all be there, ok?" Jayfeather instructed. They nodded and laid down.

"Welcome, Hollyleaf. Are you ready to receive your nine lives?" asked a voice, she stood up to find dozens of stary cats all around her, including her brothers. Jayfeather nodded.

"Yes, I am." she said.

Live nine:Leafpool. "With this life, I give you compassion. Use it well to care for your clan." she touched her nose to Hollyleaf's head, and she almost fell, twitching in pain.

"Jayfeather, I can't do this! I can't handle 8 more!!"

"You have to." he whisperd, grieve in his eyes, leafpool sat beside him, and began whispering to him.

Live eight:Lionheart. "Hello, young one. I am Lionheart, your grandfather's mentor. With this life, I give you loyalty us it well to serve your clan," once again, another agonizing pain. Then he moved to sit next to Lionblaze. They looked like doubles of each other.

Live seven: Whitestorm: with this life, I give you courage, to never give up in a fight." another pain. He moved away

live six: Bluestar "with this life, I give you good judgment, to see all your clan as equels." less pain with this life. Hollyleaf thought, as Bluestar moved away.

Live five: Spottedleaf "with this life, I give you love. Use it well for all your clan, especially Birchfall." There was no pain in this life, just warmth and comfort.

live four: Heathershine: With this life, I give you forgiveness. Use it well to see both sides of a story." she said. An icy numbness swept through her with this life. Heatheshine then drew Lionblaze away to talk

life three: Breezewing "with this life, I give you happiness, be happy with what you have, and strive to make other's happy, too." Hollyleaf gasped, not from pain of the life, but surprise.

"Who killed you?" she asked

"I killed myself. I couldn't live without Heathershine." he said, moving away/

live two: Firestar "with this live, I give you warrior skill's, to be the best you can be." he moved away

"WAIT!!" she yowled, he stopped." wouldn't you be my last life? What's going on?!" he opened his mouth. But before he could answer, the ferns swished...

Live one: Tigerstar darkness swept out behind the huge tom as he stalked to the front. His eyes showed no evil, only pride "My grand daughter. I'm so proud of you. With this life, I give you ambition, to acheive your dreams, and make something out of yourself. But do it with loyalty, as I failed to do." he turned away, and walked toward's Lionblaze, he paused " I am proud of you all, even you, Jayfeather." with that, he left. The cheer went up

"Hollystar,Hollystar,Hollystar!" she woke up, and together, her and her brother's, walked home.
