Thanks for the reviews :) :P

In trouble

Hollypaw looked up at the sky, at the stars shining in the sky, the stars that were her dead ancestors that were now in Starclan. Bluestar was one of those stars, she had just talked to a cat that was now a star.

It felt unreal, she had actually just talked to a Starclan cat, and not any ordinary Starclan cat, she had talked to Bluestar, she had actually talked to Bluestar, the legendary Thunderclan leader.

The words of Bluestar were still spinning round in Hollypaw's head, 'I know what it feels like to love one from another clan.' But Hollypaw didn't love Darkclaw, she couldn't, not after what he had said. 'You will have two choices.' What were the choices and when would she have to choose? 'They will both bring heartache but one will make you happier than the other in the end, you will know what to do when the time comes.' How would she know what to do? What if she didn't know which one to choose?

Thousands of questions were running round in Hollypaw's head, it was all just way too confusing. Even though she didn't realise it Hollypaw had started walking and was now by the lakeshore.

She didn't want to return to camp, not yet anyway, she needed time alone to think about everything that had just happened. She settled herself down by the edge of the glistening, dark blue water and closed her eyes as she realised exactly how tired she was. Soon she was fast asleep...


Hollypaw let out a yawn as she flickered her eyes open, taking a few seconds for them to get used to the bright sunlight that invaded them. Wait a minute, sunlight? Sunlight didn't get into the apprentices den, where was she?

Suddenly all the memories of last nights events flooded back into her head, the argument with Darkclaw, what he said, the moonpool, what Bluestar said, and then finally falling asleep by the lake.

She needed to get back to camp, someone would have probably realised she was missing by now and everyone would be looking, she was going to be in some big trouble when she returned.

She might as well go back now, and face the puisihment and questions sooner rather than later. With a sigh she slowly stood up and strated making her way back to camp, preoparing herself to tell lots of lies so that no one would find out what really happened the night before.


"Where have you been? I've been worried sick!" As soon as Hollypaw returned to camp Squireelflight practically jumped on her.

"I'm sorry." Hollypaw apologised.

"Are you all right, are you hurt?" Squirrelfight asked, worry for her daughter clear in her eyes.

"No, I'm fine, really." Hollypaw assured her mother.

"So where have you been?" Squirrelfight asked.

Hollypaw was about to reply when Bramblestar came over, "Hollypaw come to my den now."

Hollypaw reluctantly made her way into Brmablestar's den, he was her dad but still, he was alos the clan leader.

"Where have you been?" Bramblestar asked.

"I-I couldn't sleep so I went for a walk and fell asleep by the lake." Hollypaw was telling half the truth, kind of.

"You can't just do that, leave camp in the middle of the night without an explanation." Bramblestar scolded.

"I know, I'm sorry, it won't happen again." Hollypaw apologised

"It better not." Squirrelflight muttered. She knew there was something that Hollypaw wasn't telling them.

"For a punishment you will not be allowed to go to the gathering tomorrow." Bramblestar siad.

"What? But-" Hollypaw was cut off by Bramblestar.

"You may be my daughter but you have to be punished." Bramblestar pointed out.

"I know," Hollypaw sighed, "Can I go now?"

"Yes, go and see what Birchfall wants you to do." Brablestar replied.

Hollypaw moodily made her way out of the den, she knew she needed to be punished but not being allowed to go to the gathering, that was just unfair!

For anyone thats read the original I changed a bit here, practically in the other one Hollypaw hurt herself and was in the medicine den for a few days but it was pointless so I left it out of this one.
