Sorry I haven't updated in a while... I've been having writer's block. Anyway, on with thy story!

Chapter 11

Hollyberry squeezed her eyes shut as she felt Snowpelt dash out of sight. She'd just been raped! And now she was bound to get pregnant!

"Hollyberry?" came the voice of Bramblestar.

Hollyberry sighed in relief as she saw the dark tabby leader come running up to her.

"What happened?"

Tell anyone, and Shadowpaw's dead for sure! Snowpelt's threat rang in Hollyberry's ears.

"Snowpelt-"

Hollyberry silenced Jayfeather with a sharp glare. Somehow Jayfeather could sense it, though Hollyberry wasn't sure how. Perhaps he felt the annoyance from her? She'd no time to think.

"I-I'm fine," she croaked quietly, aware of Jayfeather narrowing his gaze at her.

"Are you sure?" Bramblestar sounded frantic.

"I said I'm fine!" hissed Hollyberry, lashing her long-furred, black tail. "I'm going back to camp."

She stalked off cantankerously in the direction of the ThunderClan camp, Bramblestar and Jayfeather following behind silent as a mouse.

They entered camp, and heard a high-pitched wail sound out from the nursery.

But I didn't tell! Thought Hollyberry with worry. And isn't Shadowpaw in the apprentice den?

"Daisy!" Spiderleg bolted to the nursery, his tone tainted with pure worry.

Hollyberry followed, and saw Daisy, her limbs splayed out at awkward angles, her face twisted into an unimaginable state.

"She's dead!" Hollyberry gasped.

Shadowpaw, Nightpaw and Blackpaw rushed over to the cat who had helped their mother take care of them, their eyes beginning to mist.

"I-it'll be f-fine," Hollyberry assured her horrified cousins. "Besides, you need to be focused for your assessment tomorrow."

"Our assessments," murmured Blackpaw, her gaze drooping. "I don't know if I can..."

Hollyberry ran the tip of her tail along the apprentice's spine, her heart sick with grief.

"I promise you can," she whispered. "I promise..."

Soft, warm sunlight streamed in through the medicine cat's den, awakening Hollyberry.

You aren't meant to be a medicine cat. StarClan told me. Lilypetal decided she wanted to be a medicine cat again, and I'm afraid you can no longer be one. Tomorrow, you leave my den. Tomorrow, you go back to warrior training with Ambertail. Jayfeather's words from last night stirred in Hollyberry's mind. But will I still keep my warrior name? She sighed. Of course.

After a hard afternoon of training, Ambertail was shocked that Hollyberry was ready for complete warriorship.

"But... but that's never happened before!" her mentor had complained.

"I guess... I guess I'm special," Hollyberry had meowed.

Ambertail had looked amused.

"I guess..." she'd mewed in return.

Now Hollyberry was a true warrior.

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey gather beneath Highledge for a Clan meeting!" yowled Bramblestar.

"Shadowpaw, Nightpaw and Blackpaw." He beckoned with his tail for the three apprentices to come forth.

"Shadowpaw, you have shown skill and courage, and for that I name you Shadowcloud," meowed Bramblestar. "ThunderClan thanks you for your bravery in battle."

He beckoned for her to sit down.

After he'd named Blackpaw Blackflame amd Nightpaw Nightbird, ThunderClan cheered the new warriors' names.

"Shadowcloud! Blackflame! Nightbird!"

Hollyberry smiled. At two things.

One, the apprentices getting their warrior names and two, now that she was a warrior, it didn't matter whether she had kits or not.

She quickly glanced at her brothers, Treeleaf, Stormrain and Creamfur, and smiled again. Things were going to turn out alright after all. She even caught Jayfeather smiling for once.

The end! Hope you liked my story! Thanks for reading!

JUST KIDDING! Of COURSE it's not the end yet! Snowpelt still has something nasty in mind for Hollyberry...
