OMEN OF THE STARS: Book 2, Fading Echoes
Brambleclaw (to Ivypaw): Don't sulk. You're not a kit. You don't need your littermate by your side every moment of the day.
Whitewing: As I recall, Brambleclaw, you were never pleased to miss a Gathering.
Brambleclaw: Well, at least I had the decency to sulk in the privacy of my den.
~Brambleclaw and Whitewing about Ivypaw, page 99-100
Jayfeather: What's the matter? Worried I might give you some medicine?
Ferretpaw: Shut up!
~Jayfeather and Ferretpaw, page 166
Yellowfang: You said I don't know everything. Tell me, what don't I know?
Jayfeather: Where do I start?
~Yellowfang and Jayfeather, page 216
Jayfeather's POV
The screams of agony coming from the speakers of the video doesn't even match the shrieks and yells of horror in the gym. I expect Foxleap to crack some sort of wise remark, but he simply says nothing. The wave of sadness coming from him is so strong I feel like it will sweep me off my feet.
The sound from the speakers shuts off, and I come to the understanding Foxleap has stopped the footage. I still can't believe Hollyleaf's dead…
No. Hollyleaf will bound into the room, her steps light and her voice happy. None of this will have happened. None of this should have happened. Hollyleaf did nothing to deserve that. It feels like a nail has been driven into my heart, and I'm in too much pain to pull it out. Or someone has pulled out a piece of my heart, and it's impossible to get it back. I shake myself out of my thoughts, but the thought is still lingering in the back of my mind.
"Thank you, Foxleap," Shadowstar whispers. Foxleap trudges off stage.
"So," Riverstar say quietly. "Do you deny that the person we saw in that video is you?"
Heathertail snorts in disbelief. "I have nothing else to say to you mouse-brains."
"Mouse-brains? You're the one who-" I'm cut off when Lionblaze pulls me down into my seat again.
"That won't help," he urges. I duck my head in anger and embarrassment. Thunderstar clears his throat to stop the murmurs of the crowd.
"Heathertail, you are sentenced to jail for 10 years, for murder."
"And attempted murder," Cinderheart calls out weakly.
"That too. Thank you."
"You haven't seen the last of us!" Heathertail screeched. "I'll be b-" Her voice is drowned out as footsteps thunder throughout the gym and then Half Moon is hanging onto my wrist.
"Come on," she said hurriedly. "I can tell you're upset." I let her pull me along, too numb to argue.
Heathertail's POV
I'm tossed onto a cold, damp cement floor. My phone was taken. I'm in an ugly black and white prison suit. I hiss ugly words and throw my hair out of my face.
"It's you. I was expecting you."
I turn around to see a familiar face. My eyes widen in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
"I was caught, just like you," she snaps. "Did my lessons pay off?"
I nod. "Definitely. I'm in here for murdering someone- the sister of the guy I liked, you know?"
She hisses in delight. "Wonderful! My training wasn't wasted."
"It never was," I promise. "It never will be."
She raises her eyebrows. "Are you thinking about what I am?"
"Probably," I say, leaning against the wall. She grins, her yellowing teeth reflecting in the dark.
"Good. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you at night for the last 3 months."
"I don't regret a minute of it."
"Even when you were too slow to avoid that knife to the arm?"
"Are you kidding? I had to wear t-shirts for the rest of the week to cover that up! Thank god I knew where to go to get it fixed up."
"Don't forget why I invited you in the first place," she warns.
I roll my eyes, knowing she can't see me. "I know. He chose someone else. I wanted revenge."
"And what did I do to help you?"
"Showed me how to fight. Suggested what I do to break him. Going after Cinderheart didn't work very well, but Hollyleaf was good."
"Did you hunt her down?"
"Of course," I lie. "It was easy."
"Good." The lady yawns. "I'm sleeping. Don't disturb me."
"I won't, Mapleshade."
Dun dun dun! *Cue evil music* So some people were asking why Heathertail was so evil. They didn't understand what caused her to kill over a stupid guy. So, I created this: She was trained in the 'Dark Forest' by Mapleshade. Mapleshade conflicted her thoughts and made them worse. At least, that should have happened in the book. So hopefully that answers the questions.
Hope you enjoyed that short filler. Ciao!
