Once again, the tunnels were collapsing around her.

Hollyleaf let out a yowl as she felt endless mounds of dirt drop onto her spine, pinning her to the floor. Her claws slid out as she scrabbled at the ground, trying to tear herself free, but she wouldn't move. Her entire body was in pain as she continued yowling, desperate to get free.

I killed Ashfur, she reminded herself, and that stopped her desperate movements for just a moment before she started clawing at the earth again. Maybe I deserve this. I broke the warrior code.

She pushed the thoughts away, kicking out with her hind legs, but they couldn't move. There was too much dirt. Her ears flattened and she let out a hopeless growl as she flopped onto the ground, defeated.

Everything hurts and I'm dying…


Hollyleaf woke up.

She jolted up straight and winced with pain when she felt a pain in her stomach. Slowly, the panic began creeping back into her. Maybe I actually am getting crushed, maybe, maybe…

She couldn't stop herself from letting out a yowl of terror.

"Hollyleaf?!" Fallen Leaves skidded into the cave and dashed up to her, briefly nuzzling her cheek. "Are you okay?"

"The tunnels," she gasped out. "T-they're… they're collapsing…"

Fallen Leaves's eyes glowed with understanding. "It was just a dream, Hollyleaf… Lay down…"

Slowly, carefully, she did so, glancing up at the ceiling, worry flowing through her. "But the tunnels…"

"They're not collapsing," Fallen Leaves reassured her. "Is your stomach still in pain?"

Hollyleaf looked at him, confused. "How did you…?"

"You had a stomach ache yesterday," Fallen Leaves reminded her. "Remember that bad mouse you ate?"

Hollyleaf stared at him for a while before the memories came back. "Oh, right…"

"You're not dying," Fallen Leaves reassured her, curling up beside her. "Here, I'll stay with you."

Hollyleaf shifted closer to his warmth and slowly, surely, she closed her eyes.
