Hiya! I have some announcements, so please, don't start reading the story just yet.

Okay, ichi (meaning one), I'm really sorry about not updating this for a while. I'll try to be better about it.

Ni(or ne, I'm not sure (oh yeah, meaning two)), The competition thingy is over! The winner is... BrambleclawXSquirrelflight! Congratulations! Thanks everyone for reviewing! Should I do something similar for the 100th reviewer? Highly unlikely, but... And I'm sorry, BrambleclawXSquirrelflight. I have pretty bad writers block on your story, so bare with me.

San (3), I have some new projects you might be seeing soon! Okay, one, I might be doing a 100 one-shot challenge! Second off, my friends and I are going to be doing a colabaration, so keep a look out for that, too!

And now... The story!

Shadowpaw blinked. What did Jayfeather want with Holly?

"Well?" the blind tabby pressed.

Anger rose in Shadowpaw's chest. "What do you mean? Firestar announced to the clan that Lionblaze killed her!"

His mentor padded into the medicine cats den and sat behind Jayfeather, his golden tail wrapped around his paws. "I lied... I couldn't kill her, so instead I let her run. She looked so much like Hollyleaf, I didn't know what to do..."

"What happens when we meet her? Will you drag her here where she'll be killed? You know my father won't show mercy to her!"

"Trust me, Shadowpaw," Lionblaze mewed. "We know Firestar wants her dead, but I swear that I wont let anything happen to her!"

"Why do you care so much?" Shadowpaw asked.

Jayfeather spat, "That's for us to know, and us to know only! Now take us to her! It's the only way to stop whatever's happening to you!"

"Really?"

"I think..." the medicine cat didn't sound to sure anymore.

"You 'think'? Your going to drag me out of the camp just because you 'think' I might magically be healed? Hedgehogs will fly before I take you to Holly! Besides, I don't even know where she is!"

"You little pest..." Jayfeather growled, unsheathing his claws. "I'm trying to help you and all you do is scream at me? I'll show you that you never pick a fight with a medicine cat!" The gray tabby lunged at Shadowpaw. The small apprentice was taken by surprise as the medicine cat landed on his shoulders, digging his claws into his fur.

Shadowpaw tried to shake him off, but had no luck in doing so. Instead, he shifted his weight and rolled over, crushing Jayfeather beneath him. He yowled in pain and squirmed out from under the black apprentice. Shadowpaw leaped to his paws, hissing.

Lionblaze sat frozen, remembering that this was the cat who had beaten Brambleclaw, a full fledged warrior, at only two moons old. There was no way a blind medicine cat could take him on as an apprenitce.

Jayfeather looked frantically around, trying to locate his target. Shadowpaw sneered and bunched up his hunches, ready to strike the confused medicine cat.

"Shadowpaw, stop it!" Lionblaze cried. He cast his mentor a side glance, but didn't stop. "Shadowpaw, as your mentor, I order you to stop now!"

"Shadowpaw!"

All eyes turned to the entrance of the den. A ginger she-cat raced over to Jayfeather. "Are you okay?" asked Cherrypaw, worry glazing her eyes.

Shadowpaw stared wide eyed in shock. "What was I doing..." he murmured.

Cherrypaw shot him a glare, but it was short lived. She raced over and started licking a deep scratch on his shoulder.

Despite what had just taken place, he felt himself smile. "Young love," he muttered under his breath. "Just like me and Heathertail when we were apprentices..."

"Now tell Jayfeather your sorry!" Cherrypaw scolded, her tail twitching with annoyance.

"I-I'm sorry..."

"You should be!" hissed Jayfeather, flinching as he licked a spot where some of his fur had been torn off. "Firestar's definitely going to hear about this!"

"No! Please! He's mad at me already!" he begged. "I'll do anything!"

"Anything?" Lionblaze asked, raising an eyebrow. He and his brother exchanged a glance.

"Anything! I'll take you straight to Holly! Just don't tell Firestar!" Cherrypaw looked confused, but didn't say anything.

Lionblaze grinned mischievously. "You don't really think that's going to get you out of this do you?" he said quietly after Jayfeather had gone into his storage room in search of herbs. "You're going to have to do a whole lot more then that to get us to not tell Firestar."

"What? What do you want me to do?"

He looked over at Cherrypaw. "Why don't you ask her out on a walk. But not like friends..."

Cherrypaw hit him on the cheek, claws unsheathed. "Jerk!" she cried.

After Jayfeather had finished applying the herbs on his wounds, he asked, "So, your going to take us to Holly?"

"Yes, I will..."

"Good. Then we'll leave tonight. Lionblaze, go get some traveling herbs for the three of us."

"Wait?" Cherrypaw butted in. "Isn't Holly dead? Didn't Lionblaze kill her?"

"Well, about that..." Shadowpaw began.

"You know, never mind. I don't want to know."

"Do you know which direction Holly went?" Jayfeather called to Lionblaze.

"She went towards the Windclan border. Maybe she's camping somewhere in their territory."

"Great! Onestar is defiantly going to let us cross his territory to look for some rouge!"

"Holly's not a rouge!" Shadowpaw spat in the black she-cat's defence.

Charrypaw stared at Jayfeather. "Where are you going?"

"To look for Holly. Haven't you been listening?" Shadowpaw asked her.

"I want to go!"

Shadowpaw gaped at her. "Um, Cherrypaw? This is a dangerous mission."

"So? Do you think I can't handle it? I'm older then you are, Shadowpaw. I think I would be better suited for going out and finding the Holly person!"

"It's just..." Shadowpaw swallowed hard. "I wouldn't fogive myself if you got hurt," he mewed, pressing him mussle against hers. She backed away.

"I won't get hurt! And besides, even if I do, Jayfeather's going, isn't he?"

Shadowpaw's face dropped.

"She has a point," Lionblaze said, dropping the traveling herbs in front of Jayfeather. "I suppose there's no harm in letting her come with us."

"Okay, fine..." Shadowpaw murmered, dragging the bundle of herbs towards him.

Lionblaze sat up without touching the herbs. "I'm going to go tell Firestar that we're leaving." With that, he made his way out of the medicine cat den. In moments, Lionblaze returned. "Firestar has agreed to let us go."

"You didn't tell him what we're really doing, did you?"

"No. Why would I do that?" Jayfeather shrugged.

"Are we all ready to go?" Shadowpaw and Charrypaw nodded. "Then let's get going. Lionblaze, you lead the way."

Shadowpaw's mentor lead the three out of the den and into the forest, and the group was on their way.

"Why do you want to meet Holly so bad?" Lionblaze asked Jayfeather in a hushed voiced. His mew was so quiet, Shadowpaw had to strain to hear him.

"You said she looked like Hollyleaf. Do you know if she came from the tunnels?"

"I think I heard Shadowpaw saying something like that."

"Then that must mean..."

Shadowpaw didn't bother listening to the rest of there conversation. "There's no way Holly is there sister, there's absolutely no way..."

"What are you talking about?" asked Cherrypaw.

"Oh! Um, nothing. I'm just wondering where Holly might be."

"What are you going to do when you find her?"

Shadowpaw froze. What were they they going to do when they found Holly? Would Lionblaze finish her off?

"I don't know Cherrypaw," he mewed truthfully. "I really don't know."

Soon, the group of four found themselves at the edge of Thunderclan's territory.

"We're here..." Lionblaze murmured. "Let's go." And so, the golden tabby lead them into the expanse of Windclan territory before them, unaware of the events that were about to take place.

"I'm coming, Holly..."

Kinda short, but...

And thus, the quest to find Holly begins! I'm kind of planning a sequal to this. I don't know if I'll actually write it, but if I do plan on doing so, I'll tell you. Well, I hope you all enjoyed! R&R!
