Chapter 3

Holly could hear voices. She could tell that one of them was Leafpool. Another was Brambleclaw. And the last she couldn't identify.

She opened her eyes, blinking sleep away from her eyes. The unknown voice was a fiery ginger colored tom. No one realized that Holly was awake. She stayed quiet, rested her on her paws and closed her eyes.

"So what is the prophecy?" the fiery tom asked.

"Lightness will darken with strength, but no hope or trust will destroy it," Leafpool recited. Holly's eyes flew open and shut as fast as they opened.

"How would that concern me?" Brambleclaw asked.

"I don't know, but you seem to be getting more knowledge from Holly and about her past than I have so you might know something about her," Leafpool meowed. "Do you know anything yet?"

"I know a lot about her family," Brambleclaw mewed.

"Like what?" Leafpool asked.

"Well, you know one of her uncles," Brambleclaw began.

"Who?" the fiery tom asked.

"Me."

"Who are her parents?" the fiery tom asked.

"She said that he is a brother of Hawkfrost which means he is my half brother."

There was silence that Holly could barely bear.

"She related Tigerstar?" Leafpool meowed in shock. Her voice calmed and she continued, "But she may not be like him because of course she is related to you, Brambleclaw."

"It is possible to see her father related to Tigerstar," Brambleclaw meowed. "She told me her father killed her mother and one of her sisters. Then he took her two remaining sisters off somewhere."

"Leafpool, come to my den," the unknown tom meowed. "Brambleclaw, you can stay here with Holly incase she wakes up."

"Yes, Firestar," Brambleclaw responded. Holly heard the paw-steps quickly fade away. "You can open your eyes Holly I know you aren't sleeping."

"How did you know?"

"Did you think I wouldn't notice you listening?" Brambleclaw answered. "You're different when you sleep than you are when you are awake."

"So Firestar is leader of ThunderClan?" Holly asked, changing the topic.

"Yes, how did you-"

"Firestar has his own den," Holly explained. "Leafpool tells him prophecies. It is kind of obvious."

"Oh."

There was a long silence before anyone said anything. Then, finally, Brambleclaw said something. "Before you went to sleep, you said your father wants you dead. Why does he want you dead?"

Holly closed her eyes and let out a noiseless sigh. "I don't know," Holly whispered. "He had said that the reason why he killed my mother and Dusk was because they were misbehaving. And when I told him that that wasn't true, he attacked me. I don't quite remember what my parents were arguing about."

"Can you remember anything?" Brambleclaw asked.

Holly's head jerk up and her ice-blue eyes stared into Brambleclaw's amber. She sat moments like this, thinking, until she mewed, "No, I don't. I can't remember." It hurt to think about her mother and sister's deaths.

"It is okay, Holly, you don't have to think about it, it is okay," Brambleclaw comforted.

"Brambleclaw! Are we going to-" A creamy colored tom with amber eyes started, but stopped once he saw Holly. "Who's she?"

Holly looked at the tom with startled eyes. She noticed that this cat was missing part of his tail. She felt herself automatically tense up.

"Berrypaw, I'll be out in a moment," Brambleclaw mewed. "I'll talk to you then."

"Is this the rogue Firestar was announcing about?" the cat named Berrypaw continued. It was obvious that this cat was stubborn and got on Brambleclaw's nerves a little. "Why are you in here with her?"

"Berrypaw, leave now! I'll talk to you once I leave," Brambleclaw warned. Berrypaw was about to say something against it but Brambleclaw beat him to it. "Now or you'll be caring for the elders for a moon, alone."

Berrypaw rushed out of the den and didn't say a word. Holly was amazed. "Who is he?"

"That's Berrypaw. He is my apprentice," Brambleclaw explained. "He sometimes gets on everyone's nerves. I was suppose to take him out training right now, but Firestar told me to stay with you."

"You can go, I guess," Holly meowed.

Brambleclaw opened his mouth but closed it. He opened it again and asked a question that surprised Holly. "Why are you having trouble trusting other cats?"

"M-my mother had told me that I could always trust my father, but it ended up that I couldn't trust him at all," Holly explained quietly. "A lie is what it was, a lie. I remember that even though I was two-moons-old I never trusted my father. I had never met him to gain his trust and I was right to not trust him."

"It's okay," Brambleclaw meowed.

"Brambleclaw, are you going to take Berrypaw out or do you want me to train him today?" a white tom called walking into the den.

"I'm getting ready to take him out now, Cloudtail," Brambleclaw meowed to the tom. The tom nodded and left the den. Brambleclaw turned to Holly. "I have to go now, but I will be back later."

"May I go with you? I want to look for my sisters," Holly asked. Her eyes were a pleading blue with specks of amber, no longer plain ice blue.

Brambleclaw looked at her for a moment then shook his head and mewed, "No, you're still injured, and you're only a kit. You are staying in here."

"But-"

"No, you aren't going, end of discussion," Brambleclaw said quite sternly.

"Fine…" Holly mumbled.

Yeah, I know, not a lot happened. But there was a prophecy. Don't you feel sorry for Holly? I know I do, poor kit... Please review!!
