Sorry for not updating, guys! I was on vacation. I put that on my other profile and mentioned that in TP, so I apologize if you didn't know. However, I have returned, though since school starts on Monday for me, I will update later after school is over, that is if I even feel like writing then X'D I will try for you guys.

Today: What if Hollyleaf actually died in the tunnels?

Next: What if Hollyleaf accepted she was half-Clan?

Wow, two Hollyleaf ones in a row!

"Hollyleaf, no!" Lionblaze yowled, watching in horror as his only sister dashed into the gaping hole, a streak of black fur.

Jayfeather stood stonily, blind gaze fixed in the general direction of the tunnel's entrance.

Without another word, Hollyleaf disappeared into the tunnels, her brothers staring after her in despair.

o3o

Darkness enveloped Hollyleaf as daylight faded behind her. Eventually, all hints of sunshine were swallowed by shadow, and she resisted a gulp as she determinedly padded deeper into the tunnel, using her whiskers to guide her through the narrow space.

She had been trudging for a bit, when suddenly she heard a rumble and felt the ground below her paws quake. Before she could take another breath in the stuffy air, crushing earth collapsed over her, burying her permanently, never to be found again.

Hollyleaf could only release a weakened croak of pain. Then she closed her eyes and let them take her.

o3o

This was it. The Great Battle. Lionblaze lifted his head and scowled from left to right. Dark Forest warriors fought tooth and claw against the ThunderClan cats all around him. He dove to save Foxleap from what surely would've been a killing swipe from a nasty white tom with a lengthy scar down his neck. He took down the tom easily, allowing his power to shine through. As the other tom's swipes were futile in injuring Lionblaze, the warrior swiftly killed his enemy.

It just wasn't the same. He had thought that, maybe, there could be some miracle. Maybe Hollyleaf would return. Maybe she hadn't really died in the tunnels.

But how did that make sense? She would've gotten lost in there, or there could have been a cave-in. There was no way she had survived up to this point, and clearly her absence proved that.

Just then, there was a bloodcurdling screech. Lionblaze's ears rung as he spun around, without a second thought scrambling over to where Hawkfrost was standing over Ivypool, snarling in her face. "You traitor!" the son of Tigerstar cried, slashing his claws over her neck heartbeats before Lionblaze arrived at the scene.

He felt sick as he watched the life bleed out of Dovewing's sister. Ivypool moaned, reaching out one more time for a badly-aimed blow which Hawkfrost easily dodged. Lionblaze lunged for Hawkfrost, and with the assistance of a few other warriors, killed him off. By the time he turned back around, Dovewing, Leafpool, Whitewing, Birchfall, and many other bloodied cats were crowded around the deceased young she-cat. Lionblaze felt grief overwhelm him until he could barely stand it. What a shame...

o3o

So, in conclusion, if Hollyleaf had actually died in the tunnels...

-Fallen Leaves would've remained unhappy, as they never met so he would still be lonely

-Ivypool would die, since Hollyleaf would not have sacrificed herself to Hawkfrost in place of the silver she-cat

-Lionblaze and Jayfeather would never have seen their sister again after she disappeared in the tunnels, so they wouldn't have been relieved because she never turned up in ThunderClan again

This was a short one, guys, and I'm sorry. I'm absolutely exhausted from the eight-hour drive I faced today, but I felt I needed to roll this out for you guys before I went to bed. Expect something better next time, hopefully.
