Am I not posting fast enough or is a chapter a day good?Well anyways, this chapter is Hollyleaf's POV.
...
Hollyleaf watched Lionblaze leave with Bumblepaw, letting out a sigh. She could have been a mentor. But she had kits instead.
Still, Sleetkit and Sloekit meant everything to her. They were off playing with Hidingkit and Ripplekit. Softkit, Dewkit, Heatherkit, and Glowkit were off catching beetles.
Whitewing settled beside Hollyleaf. "Sandstorm's making sure nobody gets bitten again." Whitewing promised.
Hollyleaf relaxed. "I guess as long as we steer clear of the rocks everything should be fine."
Poppyfrost joined Hollyleaf, gazing at the ground.
"What's wrong, Poppyfrost?" Hollyleaf asked.
Poppyfrost sighed. "I miss Cinderheart."
Hollyleaf nodded. She wondered where her friend had gone.
"And it's my fault she ran away." Poppyfrost groaned. "If only I told her about Foxcatcher. She might have given up sooner."
"Don't think about it, Poppyfrost. It might hurt your kits."
"Kits," Poppyfrost murmured before falling asleep.
Hollyleaf saw something move near Sleetkit. It looked very much like a snake.
Without hesitation, she pounced on it and sank her claws in.
"Hey, do you mind?" Toadpaw hissed. Hollyleaf realized that what she'd pounced on was no snake, but Toadpaw's tail.
"Sorry!" Hollyleaf jumped off. "I thought it was a snake."
"Come on, Hollyleaf," Toadpaw groaned. "Have you seen even one snake since Briarkit died?"
"Well, no..."
"Exactly," Toadpaw stalked away.
He sure is grumpy, Hollyleaf thought as she stalked back over to Whitewing and Poppyfrost.
"Where's Squirrelflight?" she asked.
"Oh, her stomach's bothering her," Poppyfrost muttered Without opening her eyes.
"Pains...in her belly?" Hollyleaf asked.
"Yes, now let me sleep."
Hollyleaf ran into the nursery. "Squirrelflight?"
"Hollyleaf," Squirrelflight groaned. "Please fetch Leafpool."
...
Squirrelflight: Hollyleaf, don't just stand there!
Hollyleaf: Sorry!
Lionblaze: I think you might want to review, or you're going to hear more from me.
Reedstorm: Oh, right. Hey, readers, if you don't review I'm going to make the next three chapters Lionblaze's POV, so PLEASE REVIEW!
Lionblaze: She means it, and she's not going to put in training Bumblepaw either.
