A/N: Sorry for taking so long! I got a little busy, then I got distracted… then I remembered this story felt guilty.

This is a request from the guest that requested the last chapter. HollyXFallen!

I did a bit of research, and found out that Fallen Leaves didn't actually tell Hollyleaf that he was dead and stuff… I can't believe that I didn't notice that. Now that I think about it, I probably forgot.

Also, I kind of rushed this chapter, since I really wanted to update the story today. I didn't die!

Disclaimer: I don't think I need to say it anymore…

I don't own Warriors.

:3


"Hollyleaf!" I gasped, bounding over to the black she-cat. Hollyleaf whirled around. I bowled her over, purring. "I told you I'd see you again." After a few moments, I let her get up. I stared into her eyes, having short flashbacks of the times we spent in the tunnels.

"I'm sorry."

Her words took me by surprise. I stood there, dazed.

"… Sorry for what?"

"For leaving you in those tunnels. I know I shouldn't of done that. I never even said goodbye." She looked down at her paws.

"No, Hollyleaf, I should be the one to apologize. I never told you who I truly was. I lied to you." Hollyleaf looked back at me, cocking her head.

"What do you mean? What didn't you tell me?" That I've been dead this whole time. I sat down, and she sat next to me.

I told her what I'd been hiding. She listened silently, which only added to my unease. What is she thinking?

I couldn't bear to look at her when I stopped. I hoped she didn't hate me now. Hollyleaf had been lied to her whole life, and I wasn't helping.

"It's okay." she murmured, pressing her side against mine. It felt like a moon before I fully processed what she said.

"Really? But I thought…"

"No, it's okay. I understand." I looked at her to see any anger or sadness hidden in her expression. Not a trace.

I let out a shaky sigh of relief, laying my head on her shoulder.

"I thought you would hate me. I didn't tell you before because I was so lonely… and I didn't want you to leave me."

Hollyleaf stood up and weaved around me.

"Like I said, it's okay." Her voice reassured me, so I let myself relax. "You must of felt so sad and bored for all of those seasons… of course you wouldn't want me to know. You were afraid of how I'd react. But I don't mind." My heartbeat stopped pounding in my chest as I breathed in her scent.

"I'm so glad, Hollyleaf," I sighed. "And now that we're here, we can spend time together without having to worry about anything."

We curled up in the shade of a large tree, softly purring. I had felt so miserable when she left. But now we could spend our time together again. And that was all I wanted.


A/N: Yay! Finished! I don't have much to say right now. What's your favorite Warriors character? :D

R&R!
