I know i haven't updated in a loooong time, and I'm sorry but I had writer's block for this story and I had some ideas that needed to be put into a story or I was going to explode.
Thankyou Ged262 I am very gratefull and you should all listen to her.
Well here you go, oh there's going to be a different pov in this chapter and in the last chapter when lionpaw told Tigerpaw he had stoped meeting Heatherpaw… well he didn't tell the truth
Hollypaw's pov
I watched as Heathertail walked over the warriors and sneaked out of camp, slowly not to disturb Breezepaw or Jaypaw I followed her.
She went toward some dirt then ducked inside them, I walked over there and looked inside she was purring to the same golden tom from thunderclan we had met at the gathering. They played for a while… they played a kit game. Making up clans and giving yourself warrior name's you know you won't get.
It was past moonhigh when Heathertail came out, I hid in some bushes. She lifted her nose into the air and turned toward the bush, I sprang from my hiding place knocking her down. "Hollyleaf what are you doing here?"
"I know" I said simply
"You won't tell Breezepaw or anyone right?" she asked her eyes wary
"I don't know, you really don't deserve him" I growled
"But I love him" she said
"I'm not a blind rabbit Heathertail. You know you don't love him you love that thunderclan filth" I hissed
"His name is Lionpaw and he's not filth" she kicked at my stomach with her paws and lashed her paw out catching my check, I steped back and felt the blood dripping down. I glared at Heathertail "This friendship is over. Stay away from me, stay away from Breezepaw, stay away from Jaypaw. Stay away from US" I growled at her
"No, Hollypaw I didn't mean it, I didn't mean to hurt you" she wailed
"Yes you did and you made it pretty clear that you love that squirrel-chasing piece of foxdung from thunderclan" I spat at her "wait till Onestar hears this"
"Wait no Hollypaw I'll stop meeting him, please" I she whined
"fine, but you still got to stay away from us" and with that I left a crying heathertail in the grass.
Breezepaw pov
I felt a paw proding me and opend one eyes to find Whitetail staring at me "Come on Hollypaw and Jaypaw are waiting, and if you want to get your warrior name then hurry up"
I stood up quickly. A warrior finally. Heatherpaw and Harespring had gotten their warrior name a moon and a half ago. Whitetail said it was because they were older but I thought me and my siblings were good enough. I ate a rabbit quickly and dashed to the training boulder where Whitetail said they'd be.
"Good of you to show up Breezepaw" my sister said mocking what Owlwhisker did to her when she was late. I gave her a grin and she smiled back but her eyes were hiding something. Something had happened two nights ago I heard Heatherpaw and Hollypaw leaving and ever since Hollypaw has changed she is cold to Heatherpaw and Heatherpaw doesn't come near us anymore.
"Okay, you'll have your running assessment first" Owlwhisker said "You have to race to Heathertail as if she is from Thunderclan and has stolen one of Gorsetail's kits. I saw my sister's fire turn to Ice. She kneaded her paws into the ground.
"Now get ready" Emberfoot said and we lined up "GO"
I raced, Hollypaw was right beside me and Jaypaw just a few spaces behind, but soon me and jaypaw were behind and Hollypaw in the lead by a few pawsteps. She skided next to Heathertail and when Heathertail tried to help her off she hissed. I knew something was wrong really wrong, Hollypaw had never been that cold.
"Good job, it looks like you guys will become warriors after all" Emberfoot said
"Yes, no more pesky apprentices to train" Owlwhisker joked but everyone knew he loved hollypaw as a daughter and do everything he could to make her a warrior. Hollypaw purred
"Yes, but you guys still have two tests to go, battle and hunting, lets go back to the training boulder" Whitetail said
We bounced around like kits about to go out of camp Heatherpaw and Harespring followed.
Once there Whitetail said "Hollypaw you'll fight Heatherpaw, claws sheathed but act as if she was a thunderclan warrior"she said to Hollypaw "That's easy" Hollypaw said under her breath and Heathertail laid her ears back.
"and Breezepaw you fight Harepring, Jaypaw you can wait or you can fight Owlwhisker" she said
"I'll wait" Jaypaw backed up
"Okay get ready set fight" Emberfoot said. I tackled Harespring and oinned him down then scrathed his stomach with my sheathed paws I held a paw on his throat and steped off when Emberfoot said I had clealy won, Harespring is usaly a good fighter but he was looking side ways. I looked sideways, there was a ball of light brown fur and black fur, There was a yelp and Hollypaw pinned Heathertail down there was a trickle of blood on Hollypaw's check and some had smeathed on Heathertail's pretty pelt.
Owlwhisker was glaring at Heathertail "What did you do to her, you were supposed to have your claws sheathed"
Hollypaw steped back and lifted a paw against her check smearing the blood on her paw. "it-its okay its just a reopend wound"
"How'd you get it" Owlwhisker questioned still glaring at Heathertail.
"I-I scratched my self on some brambles when I was chasing a rabbit" she said
"Then how come they look like claw marks" Emberfoot asked
"I don't know maybe she hit my with her paw too hard and made it look like that" My sister said trembling
"Hmp, well clearly you're the winner" Owlwhisker said
When our mentors turn around talking quietly I heard Heathertail say "Thanks Ho-" she didn't finish her sentence as Hollypaw interouted her "DON'T mention it" she said coldly and I had a feeling she wasn't just saying that.
Jaypaw went against Heathertail, who once again was beaten. Whitetail shot her a look of disappointment and sent her and Harespring away.
"Okay next you hunting assessment" Whitetail said
"you have to catch atleast three rabbits and at least on mouse if you want to catch a squirrel or bird that's fine just make sure you don't traspas in to Thunderclan territory" Emberfoot instructed
"Why not it's not like those filthy mouse-chasing furballs need it" Hollypaw said shooting a glare at Heathertail
"Because we don't want war mousebrain" Jaypaw said
"That's right now you may go you can hunt anywhere you like you just can't talk to each other" Owlwhisker said
I raced off looking for a rabbit, I spotted one right my a bramble bush and walked slowly toward it. I made sure I was behind it so it couldn't scent or see me. As soon as I was a bout three foxleghtns away I chased it nearing it. I felt my paws go off and on the ground, I had never ran this fast. I ran for one more tail legth then put my paw out. The rabbit tumbled and I pounced on it killing it quickly.
The other rabbits were even easier, but both fresh. Now I only needed the mouse. That was harder seeing as I wasn't that good at stalking.
But I managed to kill one anyway, I also caught a crow. I had ran then jumped bringing it down with so much force it died.
I dragged my prey back to the training boulder where Hollypaw and Jaypaw were waiting they both had three rabbits one mouse and either a squirrel or a blackbird.
"Good job, give starclan thanks for the prey and lets head back to camp" Whitetail said
"Thank you starclan for the life of this prey I promise to honor it and eat it so I can serve my clan" we said in chorus
"Okay lets go" Emberfoot said taking the squirrel from Jaypaw.
"I'll tell Onestar and your ceremony can be tomorrow because you've had a very tiring day" Whitetail said taking one of the rabbits from my pile.
We were going to be warriors, I couldn't believe it.
We walked back to camp where Nightcloud covered us in licks and Crowfeather puffed out his chest in pride. Ashfoot, our grandmother and deputy, came over to congratulate us. "Very well done all of you. Onestar wants to talk to you" she said to us. I exchanged a look with Jaypaw, what would Onestar want with three apprentices, although we were almost warriors.
We walked over to hill, where his den was and Hollypaw called out to him "Onestar, Ashfoot said you wanted to talk to us"
He came out stretching "Oh yes, come on" he said leading us to a hole in the hill where a nest made out of dried grass and moss sat.
"I wanted to talk to you about your warrior ceremony" he started
"Yes"I nodded along with Hollypaw and Jaypaw.
"Well I know your mentors said that your warrior ceremony would be tomorrow" he said
"Yes"
"Well, I was going to have it be at Sunhigh but I've decided to attack Thunderclan tomorrow just before sunhigh so I'm thinking it will be after the attack" he said
"Why are we attacking Thunderclan" I asked, though I didn't really care if we did or not, they were just a bunch of kittypets and rouges.
"Because they attacked Leafpaw after he accidently steped onto their land cahsing after a squirrel that was on our territory" Onestar said his tail flicking
"Will we be part of the attack" Hollypaw said her eyes gleaming
"Yes ofcourse and Riverclan will be attacking with us" he said
I raised my eyebrows(A/N-if cats have eyes browns)
"Our patrol told them" Onestar explained
"Oh okay" Jaypaw said
"You may be dismissed" Onestar said
"Wait, it think I know something that will help us get in their territory without them noticing" Hollypaw said. I wondered what she knew.
"What" Onestar asked leaning in
"There's some tunnels, by the stream" she said. Tunnels, I never noticed.
I noticed a small movement out of the corner of my eyes, a light brown flash. Had it been Heathertail?
"Very good tomorrow you shall show us these tunnels" Onestar said laying down.
Taking this as a sing to leave, we hot up and left Hollypaw walking really fast, she left the camp running. Jaypaw followed her, shooting me a glance. I ran after them thinking about how crazy they were. I saw Harespring running past me in the same direction. What was going on?
I heard a yowl as I neared the training boulder. I sped up crashing into Jaypaw. Heathertail and Hollypaw were fighting, with CLAWS.
"You were going to tell him" Hollypaw, I think, snarled
"No, I wasn't" I'm assuming that was Heathertail.
Suddenly Hollypaw had pinned down Heathertail and was shredding her stomach, I watched in horror as Harepspring bowled Hollypaw over and Jaypaw joined in jumping on Harespring's back and hanging on until Harespring rearing up and fell crushing Jaypaw's small body. Harespring got up and Hollypaw rushed over to him, I walked over to him nosing him he groaned and tried to get up but fell instantly down. Hollypaw turned to Heathertail "This has gone too far I have to tell him"
"Tell who what" I asked
"Heathertail was meeting with a Thunderclan apprentice" She blurted out.
Rage, jelousy and pain hit me like a rockbut I calmed my self down. Hollypaw had said was right?
"Why didn't you tell me before" I asked bewildered
"Because she made me promise I wouldn't" Hollypaw said
Now I understood why Hollypaw made Heathertail stay away from me.
"Hollypaw, you should have told me, but I don't care I love her" I said
Hollypaw looked away but Heathertail came up to me and purred "I love you too"
Hollypaw seemed to remember Jaypaw and attacked Harespring "Why did you do it" He shrank back not doing anything "I'm sorry"
"Fight me like a warrior" Hollypaw snarled
"I can't" Harespring said
"Why not? Are you a coward?"Hollypaw asked him
"No" he said
"Then why?" she said tears were running down her cheeks (A/N-in this story cats can cry, with tears).
"Because I love you" Harespring said, I gasped, Hollypaw looked away, Jaypaw groaned and Heathertail stared.
Hollypaw grabbed Jaypaw's scruf inbetween her teeth and started draging him back to camp.
"Hollypaw" Hathertail called to her
Hollypaw looked back, let down Jaypaw's scruf "STAY AWAY FROM ME" she yelled. I looked at Heathertail's hurt face and Hollypaw's back. I raced toward my sister, stoping in front of her.
"What is wrong with you?" I asked
She looked at me with eyes full of hurt, sadness, longing and betrayal. I steped back. Had I just lost one of my best friends?
I helped her drag Jaypaw back to camp but left when Heathertail and Harespring came back to camp. Hollypaw came out after a little while, as she passed by me and Heathertail, she stared at Heathertail her eyes full of anger and mistrust, but when she looked at me her eyes were just sad. As she passed Harespring, well she just avoided his gaze. She went to eat with Leafpaw and Sunpaw.
I was walking next Hollypaw and Heathertail, in the tunnels. It turned out the tunnels lead to thunderclan territory. HOllypaw hadn't said a word to Harespring or Heathertail… or me.
We walked out of the tunnels we were near their camp I could smell them.
"Windclan attack" Onestar yowled and I sprang out catching Tigerpaw in my paws.
Well there's the chapter, it took me days to write it but its done. Please review.
