"The Warrior Code is our life!" Hollyleaf announced to the clan. She was sitting below Highledge, urging her clanmates on; they seemed to have begun to stray from the code. "We would be nothing without it!"
Berrynose, who was sitting directly in front of her, meowed, "Is it in the Warrior Code to kill other cats?"
"Well…no…but, those were special circumstances."
"Wait, so we're allowed to kill cats who go against the code?" Lionblaze called out.
Before Hollyleaf could reply, Jayfeather muttered, "Shut up, mouse-brain, do you want to turn these cats against our own sister?"
Hollyleaf looked gratefully at Jayfeather, but the look on his blind blue gaze told her that he privately agreed with Lionblaze. These cats were a riot, a mob just waiting to form. The Warrior Code was in trouble!
No! The Code must survive! Even if it meant breaking it to preserve it.
…
"Hollyleaf! Did you know that the Warrior Code says that all black she-cats with green eyes that are born to a medicine cat must seemingly die during a cave-in?"
Hollyleaf looked around. Brambleclaw was talking to her! "Eep! I didn't know that! Please! Spare me! I'll go right away!" she nodded to Brambleclaw before heading toward the underground network of tunnels.
"Come on tunnels! I need to seemingly die in your cave-in!" Hollyleaf hurtled herself through the entrance, to feel the rock above her give way. Yes! I knew the Warrior Code wouldn't fail me! She heard the distant echo of her littermates.
"Hollyleaf! Hollyleaf! I'll feed Brambleclaw deathberries for this!" Jayfeather was screeching after her.
"Don't worry, Jayfeather! I used all the deathberries we had on Leafpool!"
"Nooooo!"
"Ahem, my dearest Hollyleaf, you seem to be in the most…ah…terrified condition right now. I suspect you to have Code phobia," Hollyleaf looked to her right, Whitestorm! He came back from the dead!
"Jayfeather! Lionblaze! Look! It's Whitestorm!" Yet, then he was gone. And the force of the rocks closed up the gap behind her. Hollyleaf let out a convincing shriek, now she was definitely seemingly dead to Thunderclan. Nodding to herself, Hollyleaf padded through the tunnels, occasionally asking this random invisible cat for tea.
Sorry to all you Hollyleaf and Brambleclaw lovers!
