Story starts . . . NOW
Hawktalon
"I am Hollyleaf."
I gasped. Hollyleaf. Sister to Lionblaze and Jayfeather. Supposed part of the prophecy. Took to the tunnels after her true parentage was revealed. Hollyleaf, a legend in herself.
"What?" she asked.
"Come back to ThunderClan with us," I whined. "Please."
"Why?" she replied. "They won't accept me."
"We will," Lunarwing said.
Hollyleaf looked from Lunarwing to me, and back to Lunarwing. "I really don't want to."
"I'll be back," Lunarwing said abruptly, disappearing. I noticed the grass ripple from where she ran through it.
"Where did she go?" Hollyleaf asked, looking around. "Did you see her disappear too?"
"She always does that," I replied, sitting up. "It's her power."
Hollyleaf flinched. "So she's the third cat," she replied, a hint of scorn in her voice.
"Sort of," I said.
"What do you mean sort of?" Hollyleaf asked curiously.
I looked around making sure no one could overhear us. "There's been another prophecy," I said, my voice low. Hollyleaf's face lit up hopefully. "The dove and the jay will soar with the hawk and the lion will watch them dance with the moon."
Hollyleaf's eyes darkened. "Again, I'm not a prophecy cat. Again!" Her claws tore at the grass and her fur bristled. "StarClan must hate me."
"They don't hate you," I comforted, rubbing my tail along her flank. "It's not your fault your mother was a medicine cat."
At that moment, I spotted three figures walking toward us. I felt Hollyleaf bristle beside me. "Lunarwing's back," I said, pointing out the obvious.
"Who did she bring?" Hollyleaf wondered. "Firestar and Brambleclaw, to exile me?"
"Hollyleaf, they won't exile you," I said firmly. "After all, you did nothing wrong."
"If only," Hollyleaf whispered. I don't think I was supposed to hear that.
As the three cats approached I made out Lionblaze's golden fur and Jayfeather's fluffy gray pelt.
Lionblaze saw us and raced to Hollyleaf. "Hollyleaf! I missed you so much," he said, rubbing his head along her flank.
"I missed you too, Lionblaze," Hollyleaf said happily. "Jayfeather!"
Jayfeather's gray head snapped up at the sound of her voice. "Hollyleaf?" Disbelief filled his mew. He ran over as fast as he could and licked her head.
"Where have you been?" Jayfeather asked.
Hollyleaf flicked her tail. "The tunnels."
"We thought you were dead," Lionblaze said. "Except that a while ago we started doubting that fact."
"I'm sorry," Hollyleaf apologized.
"Are you going to come back to ThunderClan?" Lionblaze asked hopefully.
Hollyleaf shot a sad look at the tunnel, and then looked back to her golden furred brother. "I will come."
Lunarwing and I walked side by side with the reunited family following closely behind, exchanging news. Soon when we came to the ThunderClan camp, Hollyleaf slowed. I turned to listen to their conversation.
"These cats are never going to treat me the same way again," Hollyleaf said.
"Who cares?" Lionblaze challenged. "You're back, and that's all that matters."
"Okay, let's keep going," Hollyleaf said, determined. I padded through the barrier first, and saw most of the Clan gathered around the fresh kill pile. "Where are they?" Brambleclaw was asking Foxleap.
"I haven't seen Hawktalon all day. Wait, there she is," Foxleap exclaimed, noticing me.
"I was hunting with Lunarwing," I said.
Then Lunarwing, Lionblaze and Jayfeather padded into camp. "Where's your prey?" Foxleap asked.
Then Hollyleaf decides to walk in. "Hollyleaf? Is that you?"
Brambleclaw spun around. "Hollyleaf! You're back."
That got the attention of the Clan. They all gathered around Hollyleaf, asking where she'd been, what she'd been doing . . .
"What's happening?" Firestar asked, pushing his way through the crowd to where Hollyleaf was sitting. "Hollyleaf."
"Can I sit down please," Hollyleaf asked. "That is, if I can stay."
"Of course you can stay," Firestar meowed. "Lionblaze can make you a nest in the warriors den."
"Oh, Lunarwing, do you want to grab some of those herbs before the sun completely disappears?" I asked remembering the bushes we'd found.
"Yeah, let's go," she said.
"I'll beat you there," Lunarwing challenged.
"Okay," I said, knowing that she would win.
She bolted off, me tearing after her. I swerved through the trees, my paws drumming the dirt and leaves. I came to the field to see that Lunarwing was already there, picking the herbs she needed.
I raced across the final gap and stood beside her, panting heavily. She shot a look at me. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I replied, harsher than I'd intended.
"Usually a run doesn't tire you out that much, but I guess we've had a busy day," Lunarwing said, snagging a few more leaves with her claws.
Yeah, that's it. A busy day. That's all.
Lunarwing instructed me to pick up one bundle and she took another. Together we walked back to camp. We padded to the medicine den and Lunarwing squeezed into the store room. "Where did you find them?" Jayfeather asked curiously.
"On a field near the WindClan border, but be careful, there's the tunnel in the middle," Lunarwing replied from the storeroom.
Jayfeather nodded. "I'll keep that in mind."
Lunarwing came out of the store room and looked at me. "Why are you still here?"
I yawned loudly. "I don't know. I thought you needed a little help."
"Well I'm fine . . ." She broke off, giving me a strange look. I glanced over at Jayfeather who was staring right at me, and then the next thing I know is Lunarwing has pushed me backwards into her nest.
"Hey," I said playfully, batting her with my paw.
She didn't retaliate, but she laid her paw on my stomach. "What are you doing?"
Lunarwing glanced over at Jayfeather, who was nodding. "Yes Lunarwing, you are right."
"Right about what? Tell me?" I begged.
"I'll be right back," Lunarwing said, a hint of amusement creeping into her mew. "Stay there Hawktalon."
"Jayfeather, what's going on?" I asked.
"Lunarwing has it under control," replied Jayfeather. "Now can I please get some sleep?"
I laid my head on my paws, waiting for the return of my best friend. Soon two sets of paws made their way into the den. I looked up to see the red tom I loved so much looking down at me.
"What's this about Lunarwing?" I asked desperately.
She placed her paw on my stomach again. "Foxleap put your paw where mine is now," Lunarwing instructed. He did. His pad felt warm against my fuzzy underbelly.
Foxleap looked down at me again. "Hawktalon, I love you and you'll be a great mother."
Heheh, adding twists is fun!
I GOT THE LAST HOPE TODAY! The library ordered it before it came out and I requested it. But the book actually arrived the other day, slow library. Well, at least I got it :D
Don't you hate it when you get a song in your head all day? Yeah, I had this strange song in my head. Nugget in a Biscuit by Tobuscus. If you haven't heard it, I highly suggest you listen to it! Darn you Treeclaw! Getting random songs in my head!
Apart from my ranting . . . did you like this chapter? Please review
Hawktalon up and out
