Hey! Sorry. I haven't updated in forever! But, I got a new puppy today! I named him Beast cause he is a HUGE gray speckled pure bred Great Dane, and since he got here this morning, he's already broken a small vase, and a rubber ball. I'm not joking. But I love him, nonetheless.

Here are some of my lovely reviews!

Silentfury12: huh. Fanfiction is weird.

Maplefrost-232: lol, you have a very interesting mind. :)

totaldramaactress334: my school is doing a play too! all most of my friends got callbacks, but since the guys at our school are too 'cool' for plays, our teacher, Mr. S had to accept all the boys (like, 5 of them) and not all the girls got parts.

Wetstar: thanks for reading!

Gardenvoir4ever: what exactly did I copyright? and don't worry, there will be a lot of surprises.

badwolf07: WWHHYYYY indeed.

dreamigneverfails: but i have another story.

Bramblestorm: Thank you! That's nice. Have you read my other two stories?

Willowfur: Drama is not one of my best qualities, but I've watched enough Degrassi to know serious drama.

Oh, and I don't reply to PMs. It's called PMs for a reason. :P

Sadly, there are only a few chapters left, but i have another story going on. Dark Rose 2: Heather's Prophecy is up!

Chapter 20

A sharp pain in her side. Ow. Stop poking me… she thought. Then her eyes snapped open. Sudden light blinded her. She was surrounded by pine trees and rocks. She was in a forest. Under her lay a soft bed of moss. Where am I? she thought. Then she remembered everything that happened to her. "Arghhh!" she squealed. "NO!" Hollyleaf scrambled to her paws.

"Woah, there. You have to calm down! You're seriously injured!" a tortoiseshell she cat with blue eyes looked at her anxiously. Hollyleaf's eyes bugged out.

"Thornleaf put you up to this, didn't he?" she screeched, aiming a swipe at the she cat's face. The tortoiseshell dogged and growled as Hollyleaf aimed again.

"Will you stop it? I'm trying to take care of you!" she hissed, her blue eyes narrowed. Hollyleaf tensed.

"Who are you?" she snarled. The tortoiseshell straightened and meowed, "I'm Julie. i don't want to hurt you, I've been caring for you for about a day now." Hollyleaf's eyes bugged out even more. "A DAY?" she cried. "NO! HOLLYCLAN IS DOOMED! THORNLEAF WILL TAKE OVER MY DEAR, POOR CLAN, AND-"

"Hold on, there. HollyClan? I've heard of that! You are the latest buzz of the Upwalkers place. Everyone's talking about you, how vicious and mighty you are." Julie blinked and smiled. "You're their leader?" she meowed. "Yes, I'm Hollyleaf. I have to-" Hollyleaf felt a sob rack her body. "My clan probably thinks I'm dead!" she wailed. "I have to get back! Thornleaf will drive them to their deaths! I have to go!" she tried to get past Julie. The tortoiseshell blocked her. "Wait, tell me everything first. Maybe we can take down this Thornleaf." Hollyleaf looked at the tall tortoiseshell. "Why would you help me?" she asked.

Julie narrowed her eyes. "If this Thornleaf is a threat to you mighty HollyClan warriors, then they are to the Upwalker cats." Julie meowed obviously. Hollyleaf narrowed her eyes.

"What's in it for you?" she growled. Julie looked at her surprised. Then she sighed. "Okay. If I help you get your clan back, and you don't hurt the Upwalker cats, you let me into your clan." she bargained. Hollyleaf pondered for a moment.

"Okay, deal. But you better not be working for Thornleaf, or else…" Julie shrugged the idea away dismissively. "I'm not." she meowed. "Follow me." the two she cats padded out of the den.

"We have to find Thornleaf. The we kill him on the spot, and we save your clan. Does he have any allies?" Hollyleaf stopped.

"This is my clan Thornleaf! I want to stay here! Why are you doing this?" "Because the Dark Forest will rise, my dear Hollyleaf. And I'm sorry to say, you will not be seeing our great triumph."

She collapsed. "Hollyleaf?" Julie called shaking her. "Oh, I knew you were too injured to do this! Are you okay?" she gasped.

Hollyleaf stared lifelessly at her new friend. "Thornleaf has allies. One in the clan and one whole forest!" Julie stared at her in dismay.

"How are we going to defeat him? He's so powerful!" Julie's blue eyes darkened in horror. Hollyleaf sighed."I have a clan who will fight with me. We must get my clan back, they are the only things that make my life worth living." she meowed sadly.

Julie stared at her friend. The black she cat looked so depressed, she almost believed that her whole life had been terrible. "Well. Let's go. We'll just have to take to your clan, then we all take the forest and Thornleaf together." Hollyleaf's green eyes shined with hope. "Yes. I know a secret entrance." Hollyleaf led the tortoiseshell to a small hole in the ground.

"Wait. A hole? No. Don't tell me you're…" Julie's eyes got really small. Hollyleaf nodded. "Tunnels?" she squeaked.

"Come on Julie, we need to go!" Hollyleaf narrowed her eyes. "Unless you want to back out." Julie's blue eyes sparked with annoyance. She straightened herself. "Fine. Let's go." she growled.

And the two she cats entered the tunnel together.
