Suntalon: Congrats to Dragonclaw11 who guessed right about the cat in the shadows! You win a Hollyleaf plushy!

Who is that Shadow?

Jayfeather felt the weight of the cat off of him. He shook off his head and snarled "Why are you here?" then in a softer tone asked "Why haven't you come before we missed you?"

He heard the cat sigh and then in a gentler, more soothing voice said "What would they think of me, I killed Ashfur! They would think of me as a traitor, I thought it was best to just leave you all alone."

Jayfeather spoke up "Hollyleaf we all love you, but why couldn't you have come back when Lionblaze was here with me?" Jayfeather could sense waves of sorrow and anger coming off of her as she replied "Jayfeather for reasons I can't tell you I have come now, no sooner or later."

Just then the bramble screen rustled and in came Briarlight followed by Lionblaze. Briarlight stared at Hollyleaf with sorrow and shock in her eyes. Briarlight only said "Welcome, I knew you were here, so I brought Lionblaze."

With that Briarlight nodded to Hollyleaf and then dragged herself to the elders den, where Mousefur was coughing, practically waking up the whole camp.

Lionblaze awoke to a cat poking him stomach. He looked up to see Briarlight balancing herself on one of her front legs, while nudging him with the other. Lionblaze stood up and asked in a low whisper "what do you want?" Briarlight just flicked her tail towards the medicine cat den.

With a sigh he followed. Lionblaze stood in the medicine cat den, facing who he thought was his 'dead' sister. Hollyleaf sighed and mewed "Hello Lionblaze!" her voice hid what joy sparkled in her eyes. Lionblaze stared shocked, she's not dead?

So many questions raced through his mind, but only one word came out "Why?" Hollyleaf sighed and said let me start from the beginning…

Flashback-story

I stood in the tunnel as everything began to collapse; I knew it was wrong of me to kill Ashfur, so I let Starclan take me. I awoke two days later in a small cave, I don't know where. I was weak and tired and hungry, I didn't know why Starclan let me live, but I would so much rather have been dead.

Moons went by and I figured you all would have told the clan I had died some way or another, so I decided to care for myself. I was hunting one day when I came upon a loner named Streak.

He helped me hunt since I was still weak, and I taught him all about the clans. Then one day while he was out hunting he came back and told me he had gone farther that he ever had and he saw a group of cats on a patrol.

He said the leader of the patrol was the fiery reddest cat he had ever seen, and I knew it was Firestar. I followed to where he had left a trail, and I have been watching you.

Then a moon ago mothe-, I mean Leafpool came to me in a dream. I assumed she was dead, so I listened as a message from Starclan. She brought me to a puddle; I looked in and saw the Three, you two and Dovewing.

I was so sad that I wasn't one of them, but I soon got over it. Leafpool told me "darkness will arise and the poisonous ivy will strangle the blazing lion, but the flying jay will fall on a leaf filled holly branch, and peace will come on a dove's fiery wing." I knew then that I was still part of the prophecy. The dream faded and I woke up next to Streak. I told him I must go, and he let me, but I promised him I would be back by two sunrises, and he said he would wait for me.

So, I went out late yesterday night in order to find you guys…

End of Flashback-story

…and so here I am now!" Hollyleaf finished. Lionblaze stared mouth agape at his sister. Jayfeather suddenly spoke up "Well while you're here might as well discuss the prophecy; Starclan knows that the Dark Forest waits on no one."

Jayfeather, Lionblaze, and Hollyleaf began discussing things, when something rustled the screen and in stepped Ivyclaw, shocked when she saw Hollyleaf. She opened her mouth to send out the alarm, when Jayfeather bowled her over.

Suntalon: YAY! I finally got a long chapter in! (Bounces all around)

Spottedleaf: I think what she is trying to say is PLEASE REVIEW!
