School has been over for me and won't start until late August!! I've had a little over 2 months and I hoped to make a big improvement on my updating. Sorry this chapter is a little short, but I had to, I wanted to fit one thing in this chapter and I did. Wow, sorry to make you wait so long, the summer has gone by really fast for me!

Disclaimer-I do not own Warriors but I do own lovely, little Hollypaw.

Chapter 6

Hollypaw let out a groan and opened her eyes. Her body ached terribly from her father. "How are you feeling, my daughter?" a soft voice from behind Hollypaw meowed. Hollypaw jumped and trying to stand up and turn around, but a light brown tabby stopped her. The tabby put her tail gently on Hollypaw's shoulder, indicating for her to stay down.

Hollypaw suddenly recognized the cat. "Mother?"

"Yes, I have missed you," her mother meowed softly. "I was wrong about your father. He is like his father though her vowed not to be like him. I am sorry for the pain I have caused you."

"You didn't cause me any, Father did," Hollypaw meowed simply, wishing her mother would let her sit up. "He is the one out there killing animals and maybe cats. I have to stop him."

"Just be careful, my daughter. He is very dangerous and I don't want him to hurt you in any way," the tabby meowed. "If I were still alive, he won't be laying a claw on your beautiful pelt like he did."

"Mother…I have a question," Hollypaw meowed. "When Father attacked me…he said that you disagreed with my destiny, what is my destiny that he was talking about?"

Her mother's eyes looked pained for a moment, but that quickly vanished. "You will soon find out. But I will tell you this, though; your father has his own plans for your destiny, but those plans are not what StarClan wants to happen. They have a great destiny in store for you while your father…let's just say he has different plans. That is all I will and can tell you."

Hollypaw nodded understanding and then spoke. "I have another question. Who was your father?"

"What do you want to know?"

"Well, I know father's so I'm curious about yours," Hollypaw explained.

"My father was a murderer, he is not and was not a great cat, and luckily he was killed, saving all the Clans."

"But who was he? What was his name? And who killed him?"

"My, we have a lot of questions. He was the leader of a Clan called BloodClan and his name was Scourge. Now you know the cat that killed him, it was the great Firestar. He is known through many forests because of his bravery and you should look up to him," her mother said breathlessly.

"He killed my grandfather?" Hollypaw asked, shocked.

"Actually, your father's grandfather, Tigerstar, was killed by Scourge and so Firestar had to kill him to save the Clans. Are there any other questions?"

"Just one," Hollypaw replied. "What are your and my father's names?"

"Ah, I was wondering when you would ask that. You can call me Mystery; Scourge never gave me a name so everyone wondered what my name was, so my mother named me Mystery. And your father, oh your father, his name is one you will never forget; it is Revenge. Revenge had acted kind enough but he tricked me just to carry on his bloodline," the now named Mystery explained. "Please be careful, my daughter. I don't want you to turn into him."

"I won't, Mother. I promise," Hollypaw meowed.

"Thank you, I wish you could stay longer, but you are needed now so we must part. Goodbye, Hollypaw," Mystery meowed.

"Good—"

"Well, well, well…" a murderous growl from behind Hollypaw came. "I didn't think you would be brave enough to see our daughter after what I warned you, Mystery. And it was a bad choice, too."

"Revenge, leave now! You are not supposed to be here!" Mystery hissed.

"I've just come for my darling daughter that's all," Revenge meowed as sweet as his evilness would allow. "I need to talk to her."

"Leave me alone!" Hollypaw hissed, still lying on her side. "I hate you!" She slowly began to sit up. It stung but she managed.

"Oh, what happened to you?" Revenge asked his daughter in a fake concerned voice, acting like he didn't know.

"You know, you piece of foxdung!" Hollypaw hissed threateningly.

"Don't — you — call — me — a — piece — of — foxdung — you — brat," Hollypaw's father hissed viciously.

Without a warning, he leaped at Hollypaw, who was very slow because she was stiff and sore, so he got the better advantage. Mystery tried to stop him, but she also wasn't quick enough. Hollypaw felt claws in her pelt and her head hit a sharp rock; it all happened so fast causing the world to become blurry to her. She heard a whisper in her ear that sent shivers down her spine, "I will find you and if you won't come to join me, I will kill you without hesitation." The next thing Hollypaw knew, was that she was in a swirling black pool, disappearing from StarClan and the Dark Forest…

I hope you know that this was a dream…or was it? You'll have to wait to find out which one it is. What did you think of this chapter? I'll try to get the next chapter up sometime! I — personally — think this is one of my favorite chapters in this story! Don't forget to review! Btw, please look at my profile for updating news.
