Chapter 11: Return
Cordelia POV
As Cordelia emerged from the tunnels her long journey ran through her mind, the strange brown tom, meeting Socks again, running through the tunnel trying to find her way. After all that she had finally come to Thunderclan territory. She remembered all the fun adventures she and her littermates had had when they were apprentices and up until they were warriors.
"Hey you, what are you doing on Thunderclan territory?" a familiar voice sounded from in the bushes.
"Mousewhisker," Cordelia said.
"H-H-Hollyleaf?" Mousewhisker said disbelieving.
"Yes, it's me, I`m back," Cordelia said.
"Everyone won't believe it when I bring you back to camp," Mousewhisker said.
"I`m pretty sure they won`t," Cordelia said.
On the way back to camp Mousewhisker said nothing.
"Go away," a voice sounded from behind the bushes. Cordelia recognized Jayfeather`s voice.
"Yeah well what are you going to do about it?" Cordelia groaned as she recognized Zac`s voice.
"Hey what going on over there?" Mousewhisker asked.
"Let`s go find out," Cordelia growled. Cordelia and Mousewhisker padded out into a really small clearing where Jayfeather, Zac and Jay were growling at each other.
"Good Lord," Cordelia growled. Mousewhisker looked confused. Of course he would, he has no idea what a Lord is. Cordelia padded over to where Zac and Jay were.
"Well if it isn't Cordelia" Zac growled.
"Hollyleaf," Jayfeather said shocked.
"Hollyleaf?" Zac and Jay said at the same time.
"My name doesn't matter," Cordelia said. "Zac, Jay piss off."
"Well don't have to be so rude about it," Jay said.
"Uh, we`ll go now, wouldn't want to disturbed a pretty little she-cat like yourself," Zac said.
"I your dreams Zac," Cordelia said. Zac and Jay ran off into the bushes.
"Hollyleaf," Jayfeather said.
"Where have you been? Why didn't you come back when Lionblaze got back?" Jayfeather pounded Cordelia with questions.
"Lionblaze is back?" Cordelia asked.
"Yes he got back a few days ago," Jayfeather said. "We got a lot to talk about but here is not the place, let`s go back to camp."
~At camp~
Jayfeather padded into camp followed by Mousewhisker and Cordelia. Cordelia felt the glares staring at her. A few cats waved hello, the ones she was closest to.
"Look its Hollyleaf," one of them meowed, Cordelia recognized Dustpelt.
"I thought she was insane," Ferncloud his mate whisper back to him.
"HOLLYLEAF," Firestar`s voice sounded above the whispers of the clan. Firestar rushed down the rock from his den to meet the incoming cats. Cordelia caught sight of Lionblaze walking from the crowd of cats to greet her.
"Greetings Firestar," Cordelia said dipping her head in respect.
"Well, we have a lot to talk about, here is not the place. I want the senior warriors in my den for a meeting. The rest of the cats go along as your business, you can talk to Hollyleaf later if you like," Firestar commanded. "Lionblaze and Jayfeather, I want you to join us." With that Firestar padded up to his den. The senior warriors started to gather.
"Well you made it," Lionblaze said.
"Where did you do?" Cordelia asked.
"I dunno, I remember going to sleep that night and waking up here," Lionblaze said. "Let`s go, Firestar is expecting us." Lionblaze, Jayfeather and Cordelia padded up to Firestar`s den.
"Ok Hollyleaf, start at the beginning," Firestar said.
"Well after I left the clans I wandered around a to- twoleg place and meet a Kittypet and 2 stupid toms. After that little encounter I wandered some more and met Sierra. I was staying there before I came back here. I got a job at the radio station. One night I went out and got way to wasted and met Lionblaze. After some convincing from him and a visit from Starclan I finally decided to come back to the clans. On my way here I got separated from Lionblaze and he got here before me. Also on my way here I got a nasty surprise from the Dark Forest, apparently they didn't want me to get here so I couldn't tell you Starclan`s message," Cordelia explained. "The message was a war is coming."
"A war? What could it mean and when does it start?" Firestar wondered.
"Little late on the draw there Firestar, it's already started. That battle you just had with Shadowclan, that was just the beginning," Cordelia growled.
