After the meeting, Hollyleaf ushered her kits towards the nursery. Poppyfrost watched them with narrowed eyes.
Poppyfrost snorted.
"At least I'm not expecting a Tribe cat's kits." She muttered.
Hollyleaf felt anger pulsing through her veins. She remembered her brush with death.
Hollyleaf darted toward the tunnels.
I'm a Half-Clan cat! A filthy blooded half-clanner!
I didn't realize the dirt pouring onto me until Jayfeather screeched. Then everything went dark. I pulled myself thorough the pile of dirt. I staggered to a wall, and I crumbled to the ground, breathing heavily.
It took two sunrises for me to get out of the tunnels, five to find the tribe, and only one to fall for Crag. He helped me so much.
Hollyleaf padded to the Medicine Cat den.
"Jayfeather" She started softly.
"Thank you."
"For what?" He asked.
Hollyleaf laid her muzzle on his head,closed her eyes, and whispered softly, "For trying to help me save me from the tunnels."
Jayfeather's eyes moistened. Hollylef turned and left.
Hollyleaf stalked out to the clearing and sat down. The sunhigh patrol had just arrived back camp.
"I can't believe the half-clan kit had to come back." A cat meowed.
Hollyleaf whipped around to find herself face-to-face with Berrynose.
"At least I'm not a kittypet, Notail!" Hollyleaf spat.
Berrynose let out a yowl and launched himself onto her. Hollyleaf dodged the attack and raked him with her claws. The cream-colored tom let out a yowl of pain.
"Whats wrong Notail?" Hollyleaf taunted.
Berrynose darted forwards and caught Hollyleaf on her shoulder, then clawed her back, her causing her to let out a yowl. By now everyone was watching them, peering at them from ledges and dens, with Firestar standing on the HighLedge.
"Hollyleaf, stop!" A voice called.
Hollyleaf froze for a heartbeat, before whipping around and leaping onto Lionblaze.
"You traitor, you left me to die in the tunnels!"" Hollyleaf snarled.
A few cats gasped while others hissed at Hollyleaf. Lionblaze caught Hollyleaf's shoulder as she leapt onto him and forced her onto the ground. Hollyleaf let out a screech and fell silent, panting between gasps.
I can't believe I forgot his powers!
She looked up at Lionblaze and hissed, "Tigerstar."
Lionblaze gasped and backed up in horror. Hollyleaf leapt up and bit his leg. Lionblaze snarled and bit down on shoulder. Lionblaze froze as he heared his sisters cry as teeth met bone. Blood gushed from the wound and onto the quarry floor. Lionblaze stumbled back in horror of what he had just done. I am just like Tigerstar!
"Mother!" Orangekit and Featherkit cried, dashing out from the Nursery.
Lionblaze froze, remembering his sister had kits.
While Featherkit was hovering over Hollyleaf, Orangekit spat,
"What did you do to her?"
Featherkit looked up at him with sad eyes and said,
"Why?"
"I...I…didn't mean…"Lionblaze stuttered.
"Kits, she'll be fine." Jayfeather said snapped.
As Jayfeather helped Hollyleaf to the medicine cat den, with the kits following closely, Firestar padded over to Lionblaze and whispered,
"In my den,now."
Lionblaze followed Firestar to his den with his head hung. What have I done?
Happy New Years everyone!!
