Disclaimer: I don't own warriors
I'll admit it I changed the characters a little… okay so a lot
But the story still good right? sorry i kept putting Jaybreeze! ita all fixed now
Hollyleaf my new name rang in my ears as I padded next to the stream, in search of a familiar face I knew I wouldn't see. I wasn't Hollypaw anymore, a young apprentice, I wasn't playing with him by the river or sleeping in the bushes with him. I was alone. My mind went back three nights ago, when Harespring had told me he loved me. Don't get me wrong I love him too, but I can't take the risk. The risk of falling in love again. After what he did to me, well….
Breezepelt and Heathertail were happy, they were mates. I knew Sunpaw liked Jayfeather, but he didn't seem to notice, he had his on someone else, a thunderclan she-cat.
I was going to get a drink from the stream when I heard, some laughs. It was the middle of the night, who could be out but my dear sweet brother Jaybreeze. I hid in a bush and watched as they laughed and played, it broke my heart to have to break this up. But I had to, or both od them and Sunpaw would get hurt. I waited till they parted ways.
"Hey" I whispered
"Hollyleaf!" Jayfeather exclaimed in surprise
" You have to stop meeting her"
"What? Why? No! You won't tell right?" he asked
"No, but you have to stop"
"Why"
"because when someone finds out, it won't only hurt you, but her and Sunpaw"
"Sunpaw?"
"Yes Sunpaw, she likes you" I informed him
"Really?" was that happiness I saw in his eyes?
"Yes"
"But I love Honeyfern" he whined
"I know, but it will be better than to break three hearts right?" I asked him
"I guess" he said looking down "I'll tell her tomorrow kay?"
"Yes" I said and watched as he raced back to camp his tail dragging, I looked at my self in the stream, I looked at the scar over my eye, Lionpaw, I think his a warrior now, gave it to me, because of Heathertail. I honestly didn't care, you know? It was just a scar. What hurt me was to see him with her, not lionpaw eew.
I sat on a hill, I felt like wailing to the sky. I could see the new moon, bright in the sky.
Then the tears came, first like trickles then like streams then like huge, churning, dangerous, murmuring river. From here I could see the bush were we had spent nights. I weeped silently.
"Hollyleaf, are you okay" I recognized the voice, Harespring.
"Hollyleaf why are you crying" Heathertail
"Hollyleaf are you allright?" Breezepelt
"Hollyleaf what happened" jayfeather
"H-Hollyleaf?" Sunpaw
I heard pawsteps near me and jumped up. I stood there facing Harespring, his eyes pleading.
"Hollyleaf, what I said three nights ago, I meant it I love you" he said
I shook my head, this was happening too soon, way too soon.
"No, it's too soon" I said quietly, holding back the tears
"What do you mean 'too soon'?" he asked
"It's too soon" I screeched the tears splilling out once again
"Huh?" he tilted his head "listen, Hollyleaf, I love you but…" he trailed of, that's all it took, I wailed to the sky, my tears running down my cheecks.
Flashback
Hollypaw crossed the stream and walked over to where Mousepaw was sitting, shuffling his paws. As she got near him she saw that his face was sad, probably still grieving for his brother, and aungished. She flicked her tail in greeting. She touched noses with him and purred.
"HI, Mousepaw"
"Oh, um… hi Hollypaw"
"What's wrong" she asked
"Well, remember how I said we'll always be together?" he asked
"Yes" she awnsered slowly
"Well, we can't"
"What do you mean" she asked her eyes growing wide
"We can't meer anymore" he said
"Why not, did someone find out?"
"No, but… you know Moonpaw?" he asked
"Yes," she said her eyes growing darker
"Well, she loved my brother and well I loved her, I loved you too but it's just that she needs confort with my brother being dead and all and well I think I should take the chance"
Hollypaw flattened her ears and shrank back.
Moonpaw burst in, her pelt matted and her eyes red and puffy from crying. Tears started to form in her eyes and she spoke with her voice laced with sadness and sadness.
"Mousepaw, I'm…I'm sorry, I was just walking and…." Mousepaw walked over to her and pressed against her, licking her ears. Hollypaw flinched.
"Listen, Hollypaw I lov you but… I love her too, and she needs confort and she's in thunderclan." He said, he padded over to Hollypaw and touched her ear to hid nose but she shrank away.
She shook her head and backed away "I…"
"Hollypaw wait… i'm sorry"
"Sorry doesn't fix broken hearts" she said and walked back to her own territory
Flashback ends
"I…can't" I said sinking down into the grass
"Why not?" Harespring asked
"Because last time he took my heart and shattered it" I said, I closed my eyes.
"he who?" Breezepelt asked
"Mousewhisker" I sighed, it felt good to say his name outloud
They all tilted their head and I stood up, walked over to Heathertail.
"Want to know why I threatened to tell Onestar about your meetings with Lionpaw" I asked her
"Well, yeah" she said
"Because at the end someone else would've found out and they wouldn't have keep your secret. You, Lionpaw and Breezepelt would've been hurt by that" I swallowed "and if they hadn't he would faleeen for another she-cat or you for another tom, Breezepelt."
"How do you know that" she asked
"Beacause it happened to me" I said
"What?" Breezepelt asked
"I met with Mousewhisker when we were first made apprentices, then his brother died and he fell in love with Lionpaw's sister and told me we couldn't meet anymore. I saw you at the gathering with Lionpaw, I couldn't let you get hurt…"
Harespring pressed against me and told me something very wise. "Hollyleaf, look at the advise you've given them, you told them to let go and now it's your time to let go and find someone else"
I sighed and leaned against him, closing my eyes. " I love you too, Harespring"
Aw wasn't that a sweet ending.
Now for those of you who like the story Erin hunter wrote, good, so do I. In fact I looove it, but I'm just writing a story of how I think it could have gone. So if you don't like it don't read it and don't report me like some one did already. And yes the last too cahpeters have had a lot of drama but oh well and i need more ideas please
