My nose twitched as I felt something soft tickling against it. I squeezed my eyes as I shifted in my spot, moss crinkling under me. I moved my arms to try getting comfortable. But I kept feeling something poking me.

"Come on, Hollyleaf. Please wake up. You have to!"

"Hmm," I rolled over, not wanting to leave my nest. I'm sure that they could find someone else to go on patrol. I'm not used to waking up early anymore. "Surely anyone else can be up for the Dawn patrol."

"Wake up, Hollyleaf! Or your spirit will be forever lost here!"

I jumped up as I recognized Fallen Leaves voice. I wasn't in ThunderClan's camp. Memories rush into my head of the battle. I was no longer comfortable, the moss under me feeling as sharp as thorns. I looked around at the dark and broken trees, the starless sky barely noticeble by all of the fog. I got to my feet as fear flooded through me.

"Fallen Leaves! Am I dead?"

He nodded with pain in his green eyes, "I'm so sorry. I tried to get to you in battle, but you were already gone. But StarClan gave me that task to come get you. You were brought here for reasons, but I refuse to let you rot here. Hurry take my hand. There are many that still linger. We must go before the ones who escaped the fight find us."

"So you really are a ghost," I took his hand, surprised by how warm it was. But I couldn't think about that, so I raced off, letting him lead until we reached the border between the Dark Forest and StarClan's land. The trees and grass was full of life, speckled with bright lights and stars. We ran across until we felt sunshine touch our skin. Once we were safe, we stopped in our tracks, our breathing heavy.

"Yes I am," he looked deep into my eyes, tears lightly falling down his cheeks as he focused on my face. "You have no idea how hard it was for me. Someone who's been dead for moons falling for a living girl. I must be crazy right?"

"So I'm I." I cursed myself as I started crying as well. "Falling for a dead guy! But now we can be together forever right?"

"Yes," he kissed the top of my head, his warm arms wrapping around me. "I've waited forever for you, my soulmate. My love. My warrior."

I let out a sigh as I cherished the moment. I never a mate in ThunderClan, but now I had someone to treasure as much as I loved the warrior code. I would have someone to watch over the Clans with, making sure my Clanmates were safe. I missed them already, not being with ThunderClan long before dying. But none of that matters now. I have nowhere to hide now. And I was perfect happy with that. I had died for my Clan, just like a warrior.

~The End~
