Back to Holly! I know I got Snowbird's description wrong it's just… whatever. Now, some peeps have been asking me why Frisk would invite Snake and Thorn to HollyClan if they were so evil like. Well, you'll see.

Chapter 9

She inspected the three rouges carefully. They were very strong. They sort of reminded her of Frisk. Maybe there was some sort of connection…

"Sissy, we're here!" Frisk called.

"Good, Flarespirit is feeling much better. And who's-" she shrieked and snarled. "GET AWAY! GO, LEAVE!" she cried. She swiped at Thorn and glanced at Snake.

"Frisk how could you!" he shrieked.

Holly's eyes darted wildly from Frisk to Sissy. What in StarClan was going on?

"Frisk, what is going on? Why is Sissy like this? What's wrong with these cats?" I demanded a bristling Frisk.

"You were never over them, were you? You lied Frisk! I don't understand! I bet you lied about seeing Snow did you! Snowbird indeed!" Sissy sobbed.

Holly's ears pricked up. "Snowbird? I know her! She's from ShadowClan! How do you know her?" I meowed.

Sissy trembled. "What?"

Frisk looked at me. "You know our mother?"

Holly twitched, uncomfortable by all eyes watching her. "She's expecting kits." She meowed. "I'm sorry."

"I don't understand. How could Momma do this?" Sissy meowed, shocked. Holly had given Sissy a thyme leaf to soothe her shock, whereas Frisk took it pretty well.

Snake and Thorn sat quietly far away from Sissy. They had exchanged surprised glances about Snowbird. Apparently, they knew whom they were talking about.

"This Snowbird is a forest cat. It's true she is expecting kits, for last time I saw her, she looked quite… plump?" Thorn meowed.

"But I have not seen her in a long while. Maybe she has her kits already?" Jazzy meowed to Snake. Jazzy was Snake's mate. They were inseparable.

"I don't… I can't." Frisk sighed. "I guess since Jayfrost got a new mate, Snowbird moved on too." He sighed.

Hollyfrost had no idea what he was talking about. She was guessing Jayfrost was his father.

"Hmm. Something like that happened to my mother, Leafcalm. Her and my father kinda just left. My dad, Cloudstreak took care of me until he died." Jazzy meowed. Everyone looked at her. "What?" she said defensively.

Suddenly Sissy meowed, "I can't take it anymore! So long, I've tried to push all my past behind me, and until now, it has worked. But now, everything's coming back! Lime, Snowbird, Jayfrost, BloodClan, everything! I just can't handle it!" Then she shot out of the tunnels like a lighting bolt.

Frisk sighed. "She'll calm down. She's like that." Snake and Thorn snorted in disapproval.

"Weakling." Snake snickered to Jazzy.

Holly shot up and snarled at Snake. "Watch your mouth fleabrain, or my claws will once and for all!" then she followed Sissy out.

As soon as she emerged, she saw Sissy crouched under a maple tree, holding a thrush bone.

"Are you all right?" Holly asked.

Sissy shook. "Everything is too much. All these moons, I've pushed so much away to give everything to taking care of Frisk. Then it all just…" her voice cracked.

Holly sat next to her. "I understand. You know what happened to me. The whole, lied to since birth. And the messed up me." Holly tried to laugh, but it would have made her sound like a mousebrain. Sissy said nothing.

"Hey. Why a thrush bone?" I indicated to the little bone in her paws.

"Lime loved thrush. It was her favorite before she died." Sissy meowed quietly.

"She died?" Holly meowed astonished.

"Yeah. It was really hot, and Snowbird was leading us away from a twoleg place. To get away from Bone. Our father was left in BloodClan." Sissy meowed.

"Wait, did you say BloodClan?" Holly asked surprised. "The clans had trouble with BloodClan too, in the old forest."

"Yes, I remember you telling us that." Sissy mewed. "You told us everything."

Holly nodded and Sissy continued.

"Lime died of heat. I couldn't get enough water to her. It's my fault. When my mother disappeared a few days after Lime's death, Frisk took care of me. We traveled far and we reached some nomads to support us. We were only kits." Sissy added. "Frisk met Snake and Thorn. He fell in love with their lifestyle. He joined them. He left me. We had this huge fight about it. And I was left with Tonie, Jingle, Ice and Sage."

"I remember some of those names of the first day we went into the twoleg place!" Holly said surprised.

"Yes. But Sage was deeply upset that Frisk left. She kind of… loved him. So she left our group to look for him. She knew Snake and Thorn were killers-"

"That's why she acted strange when we visited her." Holly exclaimed.

Sissy ignored her, determined to tell her story. "So she went to find him. A few days later, I saw her, wounded and bloody just outside the forest. I was actually looking for her, though Jingle told me it was almost impossible. Sage told me she met Thorn and Snake, but Frisk wasn't with them. He left a long time ago. But they were on their sacrifice hunt. Ask Frisk about that, 'cause I won't speak of their ways. So I healed Sage right on the spot. I couldn't do everything so I guided her to a twoleg nest Tonie recommended. We left her there. Tonie, Jingle Ice and I traveled far. We met new cats. Soon, Ice left us. She needed a stable home. She was getting pretty old. We left her near Sparkle and Sugar. Tonie and Jingle also stopped being nomads. They were still young, and are to this day, but Jingle fell for some pretty kittypet across from Sparkle and Sugar. Then the she cat's twolegs moved away, and the nest was destroyed. Jingle was devastated, so he and Tonie live where the she cat's twoleg's nest used to be. Then, I was alone. I decided to find Frisk, apologize. So I reluctantly headed into the forest at dawn, when Snake and Thorn usually sleep. I found Frisk sleeping under a lone maple tree in a pine forest. I woke him up and he told me everything. I thought it was a lie, but I was just so glad to see my brother again. He said we should join ShaodwClan with Snobird, but I didn't want to be near her

I was too deeply wounded." Sissy looked at Holly, their green eyes meeting. "We both have stories Holly. None are entirely happy. But…" Sissy looked at the maple tree. "For once, I feel like I'm doing something… right with my life." Sissy looked at her with a new light. "And I think I like it."

Holly purred at her best friend. "Me too."

Ooh! Not all the answers are answered yet! And not all the cats have been recruited. This chapter was a little dramatic in honor of the new Degrassi season! Who's your fave? Frisk, Holly or Sissy?
