Chapter 11

We left Shell, Tonie and Jingle. Shell said that she would not join HollyClan. I didn't worry. I had other things on my mind. The evil cats were rising! How? I have to find out more.

"Frisk. Wildstorm. Snake. I'm leaving the cat finding to you.I have other business to take care of." I meow to the 3 toms.

"Sparkle!" I call. The she cat bounces over to me, her white pelt gleaming in the dark light.

"You must come with me. We have important business to take care of." I say seriously. She gives me a weird look.

"Err… sure?" she says.

Frisk butts in. "Wait. Maybe I should come with you. Snake, Wildstorm and Sparkle can find cats." his green eyes spark with anxiety.

The blood rose to my cheeks. I shake my head. "Frisk, you are needed with them. Sparkle. Let's go." Before I turn around, I see Frisk's hurt face glance at me then leave.

As Sparkle and I emerge from the tunnel, we head towards the pine forests where ShadowClan lived.

"Hey, where are we going?" Sparkle asks nervously. She has a lot on her mind, I can tell.

"Every warrior has to make their journey to Moonpool at some point. Today, we go together." Holly meows.

Sparkle shivers with excitement. "I'm becoming a warrior? How 'bout the others? Will they-"

"No Sparkle. You are not a warrior yet. None of us are. Our purpose for the Moonpool is to find sow answers that only StarClan can give us."

Sparkle turns serious. "Okay."

Silence.

"Holly?" she asks timidly.

"Yes." she replies.

"Will I see Kestrel?" her mother.

"Maybe. If she choses to see you." Holly answers. She hoped it was enough to sooth the young cat's anxiety.

"But, why wouldn't she want to see me? She still loves me, doesn't she?" gasps Sparkle.

Holly faced her classmate. "StarClan puts the clans first. Kestrel will see whether it is wise to appear to you, or if the waiting will bring you good. Do not think that she has abandoned you if you don't see her. Maybe she is just waiting for the right time. Or, better yet she could be reincarnated into one of our friends. We do not know. Now, come." Holly explains.

They turn slightly and trudge up a big hill. They finally reach, Moonpool.

"Oh!" gasps Sparkle. "Gorgeous." she sings.

Holly laps up the water. Sparkle copied.

Then, they slept.


A bright orange pelt prodded her to wake up.

"Whuhh?" she groans. Holly rolls over and looks up to see her old leader.

"Firestar!" she exclaims. "You're dead?" she chokes.

Her leader looks at her with happiness."

"Oh, Hollyleaf. Though you have given up everything, I am so proud of you. I am so proud that you are living a warrior's life in a clan to suit your own. You bring a true meaning to loyalty. I know why you are here. But." he turns to Sparkle who just woke up and is staring at the fiery leader in astonishment.

"This one needs to learn… everything."

Just then, a female with a brown pelt and dusty brown paws emerged from the light.

"Mother!" squeaked Sparkle.

"My daughter. My kit. You have grown so much. You look beautiful." purrs Kestrel. Her green eyes glow with love. "I missed you."

"Mother." whispers Sparkle. Then she rubs her muzzle with Kestrel's. "You came to StarClan!"

"I have been waiting for you." she purrs.

"Holly. You are here to know the reason of Tigerstar's appearance." Firestar says darkly.

Holly stands up to her full height.

"Is it a threat to my clan?" she asks boldly.

"It is a threat to the whole forest." he replies.

"What?" Sparkle gasps.

"The Dark Forest is rising. You must make a clan fast, to help defeat the evil cats and save the clans." Kestrel sighs. "They have already made an impact on our life source. The Dark Rose." she shivers.

"But, are you from the 4 clans StarClan?" Sparkle asks.

"Yes." Kestrel confesses.

"You must make your clan one fast. You have 6 cats to find. 3 have already made the journey to your camp. 2 are being found by your patrol. The 1st is deep where you cannot find her. She must come to you." Firestar prophesied.

"Firestar. You must know. The three of us. Jayfeather, Lionblaze and me. We know about the prophecy. "There will be three. Kin of you kin who hold the power of the stars in their paws." It's not me is it. It's Dovepaw?" Holly says.

Firestar sighs and nods. "Yes. Dovewing was the third apprentice. But do not worry. They all know their destiny. There is actually 12, not 3."

Holly stared at him with shocked eyes. "WHAT?" she exclaims.

"It does not matter, Holly you must focus on HollyClan. Find the 6 cats, do the naming ceremony and travel to the Gathering at the 2nd full moon. Be battle ready." Kestrel adds.

"Yes, I will try." Holly promised.

The two cats nod.

"It is time for you to leave, Holly. Sparkle. Go and make HollyClan real." Kestrel's voice fades away.

"Mother!" calls Sparkle.

"You will see her again." reassures Holly. "They will wait for our victory."
