The crowd applauded as the curtains opened and revealed two cats, seated on bean bags. This time Ashfur was there.

Ivy: Welcome back to Hollyleaf's promise at S.L.T.P!

Ashfur squeals and hugs his bean bag.

Ashfur: We also brought out our wonderful, beautiful, amazing, sexy, Bean bags!

Every cat stares at him.

Ashfur: What? I have a great relationship with my bean bag.

Ivy: Idiot.

Ashfur: Ignore Ivy's bad mood guys. This morning she came into the studio eating a donut. Turns out Foxleap's actually a bit donut crazed. He took it and ate it. Thankfully I prevented him from being fired and Ivy from bursting into tears.

Ivy: *Grumbles* He should have been fired. He stole my DONUT. I love donuts more then I love Moonshine for Starclan's sake!

Ashfur: Get another one then.

Ivy: I can't. The only good Donut place, Lionheart's Donuts, in town closed up because Lionheart couldn't afford it. Now the only place you can get Donuts is Darkstripe's non-poisonous Donuts and that place is BAD.

Ashfur: It's not that bad. I always buy Donuts from his place anyway.

Ivy: No wonder the Donuts you bought last week tasted awful.

Ashfur: Hey! *Sighs* Jeez, since you care so much about donuts I'll get Lionheart to make some.

Ivy: Really? But I thought he closed up.

Ashfur: He did but I can get him to make you some.

Ivy: Aww thanks!

Ashfur: Your welcome but only if we make it to 50 or more reviews on this story. Maybe if we get to a 100 reviews we'll have enough money to reopen his Donut shop.

Ivy: Deal. But you guys have to do it. So review! Anyway please enjoy chapter 13 of Hollyleaf's promise; Busted.

The full moon rose above the trees and illuminated the ground below. Two cat's silhouettes were the only thing noticeable at the time of night. A black she-cat quietly emerged from the gorse bushes into a very familiar clearing. A dark golden furred tom sat there, patiently waiting for her. The she-cat hissed and sat in front of the tom her tail tip flicking back and forth.

"You're here early." She spoke lightly, her eyes flicking around for any other signs of movement. She found none.

"We never set a time so how could you be early?" He retorted.

She sighed before shaking her head. "We did, moon-high remember. Let's just make this quick," She ordered, "I stepped on Ivy's tail and almost woke her up. I'm scared I may have woken one of them up so make this quick. If they catch me here talking to you I don't know what I'll do. There naïve but not that naïve. What did you have to tell me anyway?"

He rolls his eyes but explains, "Do you know of the Dark forest?"

I gasp at him, shocked. "How do you know of the Dark forest?" She asks him suspiciously.

"That is none of you concern. All you need to know is that Rose is currently under their control."

"What!?"

"Yes, she is not to be trusted."

"And why should I trust you?"

He leans in closer and says in hushed whispers, "Remember when I told you how they wished to get revenge on us using you?"

"Yes, I'll admit you were right. Caught them talking about what to do with me. But why should I trust you this time?"

"Have you seen the claw marks on her? The nicked ear? How she always has dark bags under her eyes?"

The black she-cat paused. Rose was covered in claw marks and often woke up bleeding in her nest. She was always so sleepy no matter how much she slept, dark bags hung under her eyes were also present.

But how would he know this? Rose doesn't even go out much… "How'd you know she has scratch marks on her?"

"uh-I-let that slip?"

The black cat growled and advanced on the now cowering tom. Then a big dark brown tabby erupted from the bushes.

Hollyleaf stared dumbstruck as Zack ran away. Alfie glared at her, angrily grasping for breath. His green orbs looked like they were lit on fire as he stared her down. "What are you doing?!" He yowled at her in fury.

Hollyleaf looked both upset, mad, and sad at the same time. "I made a mistake." She replied, staring after Zack as he hurdled away and out of sight.

Hollyleaf's POV

I silently slipped away from Jasmine, Rust and Emerald, being careful not to alert anyone so no cat knew I was leaving. I squeezed out through the tiny barn entrance and hurriedly fast paced into the forest.

I was going to meet Zack again, and hopefully meet Yellow. You see, when Alfie found me he was furious. We fought for a while before I told him I was sorry and that I shouldn't have done it. I had managed to convince him not to tell anyone of the barn cats. He promised he wouldn't say a word but only if I promised not to meet him again.

I shook my head at his naivety. He had yet to ask me what I had been discussing with those two and instead decided to watch me like a hawk. Fortunately, I had already had many past meetings with him before I had been caught. They told me plenty of what the barn cats had done to them. However, I wasn't mouse brained enough to believe everything they said but I had the sense they knew more then they weren't telling which is why I continued to meet him.

I should have been more careful. I almost woke up Rust while I was leaving…. I scolded myself.

It was dark and the leaves of the trees moved as a breeze blew by. I stealthily darted behind bushes placing my paws carefully as to not make much noise. I scrambled through the bushes and into a very familiar clearing. I patiently sat down, sheathing and unsheathing my claws as I waited for him to arrive.

That's when a dark brown shape walked out of the bushes growling. "Hollyleaf, What are you doing? I thought I told you not to meet him again!"

I jumped in surprise and gawked at him in surprise. "A-Alfie?" I squeaked, "Wha-t are you d-oing out here-e?"

He glared at me angrily, his shoulder hunched as he took in my betrayal. "Couldn't sleep, heard Rust, saw you sneak out. What do you think I'm doing? Chasing Butterflies?! Smelling flowers?! OR maybe I should have been sleeping in my nest, which is also what you probably should have been doing if you hadn't been meeting Yellow and Zack?!"

"Alfie-I"

"No." He thundered, drawing backwards, "No…No, NO! No more excuses Hollyleaf, I went against everything to keep that promise and not tell anyone what you've been doing but what do you do? You do and meet Zack again. You should know that me and the other have a really ad history with Yellow and Zack-Look what he did to Rose-Yet, you still meet him and share OUR secrets with him behind our backs. AND YOU GO MEET WITH THEM?! This time I won't be telling no one. No-I'm going to tell everyone and get you kicked out of the barn." He finished before speeding of back to the Barn.

I stood there still shook as I watched him speed away.

Catch him…. A voice in my head whispered.

I recovered from my shock and chased after him. "Alfie, WAIT!" I called after him as I tore through the woods. I caught up to him, panting, and blocked his path. "Alfie, please you don't understand!"

He growled, "Oh really?! You know what you're not going to understand? How quick you'll be kicked out of the barn once I tell all the barn cats what's been going."

I sigh inwardly. "I can't let you do that Alfie…" I whispered threateningly coming closer.

Alfie snarled in rage. "Oh, and how are you going to keep me quiet? Kill me?" He mocked.

I flinched, it felt as though a claw had stabbed me right through the heart. I instantly had memories of Ashfur's murder. He doesn't know that. He doesn't know that I killed Ashfur…I did exactly what he said I did and I was actually thinking doing it….

"No never," I protested, "I would never do that. But I can't let you tell them please Alfie just listen to me!"

He laughed cruelly. "Never. Do you know what those two did to me? They murdered my father, aunt and cousin, in cold blood. And you actually decide to meet them?! You actually thought you could get away with that? You actually met up with cruel murderers for whatever reason and ignored everything we said about them?!"

"Yes!" I screamed at him willing myself not to cry, "Alfie I didn't know what they had done and I"

"So now your blaming this on us?!" He roared in fury, his pelt bristling a he paced back and forth.

"No!" I replied, calmly, regaining my composure, "I'm sorry Alfie! I have a mission and they had offered help me. Told me you couldn't be trusted and I believed them because I didn't know why you had hated them so much. I believed their lies and for that I'm so, so sorry."

"Are you serious-" He started.

"No, it's my turn to interrupt you, Alfie. They told me you treated them terribly. You asked them to hunt pre for you and when they declined you decided to treat them so horribly. Why did you do that?" I asked him, regaining control of the situation.

He looked taken back but quickly retorted, "After everything you did you have the nerve to accuse me?! We didn't treat him horribly, he asked us to join some group of cats that he led and we declined. He later decided to attack and kill my family using dogs."

I gasped and began to apologize. He snarled at me, "It doesn't matter what you say. I will tell the other barn cats and you'll be gone for good."

"Alfie I-"

"It doesn't matter," Jasmine said calmly, coming out found the bushes in front of us. Her blue orbs showed sadness and betrayal in them. Gradually all the barn cats followed after her and encircled me, hissing, "We already know."

Alfie looks back at my horrified expression. "It's over, Hollyleaf."
