Chapter Three

STARCLAN

Tears

Hollyleaf's POV

I've never imagined I'd say this, but the truth is, I'm enjoying StarClan right now. I feel so safe with other cats, and I got used to those glittery stars on everyone's fur. It's quite a pretty decoration. Sort of. Well, Honeyfern and Molepaw are my guides. They teach me about StarClan, and introduce the dens, and special places to me. One of the few things I liked the most was the Starstream. It is a vast sparkling stream with stars inside it and starlight glittering around the grass over there. The Starstream helps you enter the living world as an illusion for a living cat to see by jumping into the stream and shout the name of the cat. Yeah, StarClan is a beautiful starry forest. It's wonderful to live in. Another place I love is the Dream Pond. Yup, you got it. It is a luminous pond with stars in it (you can probably tell). StarClan can enter living cats' dreams that way, by drinking a sip of the pond water. Even the water tastes like…I don't know, stars? It's a vaguely sweet and clear taste. I love it.

"Hollyleaf," Honeyfern called out today morning. I clumsily staggered upward, and mewed, "What?" Honeyfern and Molepaw usually organized my everyday schedule. They said they would help me do that for many moons to come, until I get used to StarClan. I'm sure Honeyfern had planned a new destination for us. Or an old one. Loudly Honeyfern meowed, "Molepaw and I decided to take you to the Dream Pond today. You can go visit a living cat's dream there. I-I've visited Berrynose many times. I can tell you w-what to do." Honeyfern's voice cracked. I knew she was in tears now. Poor Honeyfern. She had a love, but she died. I hope Berrynose wouldn't be ungrateful and forget her! I would go into his dream to beat him up if he does that.

Quickly I encouraged kindly, "I'm sure Berrynose would be glad to see you, Honeyfern. I'm going to visit Lionblaze and Jayfeather's dreams." Looking up at me, Honeyfern nodded feebly. She had a big crush on Berrynose and finally Berrynose told her he loved her, too. But she died. Oh, what a perfect timing to die. It must've been horrible for her. But I've never loved. So I don't understand one bit, and I… don't care. Well, Honeyfern and Molepaw led me out of my den, and into some trees dappled with stars. It does get a little annoying when everything is coated with stars. But I don't care. It looks fine.

We arrived at a mystical, radiant pond. I was utterly awed, and my bright forest-green eyes sparkled at the miraculous sight. Of course, it is no longer a miracle, because I'm in StarClan and there's pretty much no miracle after all I've been through. Molepaw instructed, "Drink a sip of this starry pond water, and think of the cats you wish to visit." I already had my visiting-schedule/plan ready. I shut my eyes, crouched down, and took a sip of the water. It tasted spectacular. It was so icy inside my mouth, like frost. It was sweet and clear, and the taste twirled inside my mouth. How wonderful.

I thought, Jayfeather, Jayfeather, Jayfeather, Jayfeather. Suddenly there was a purple flash, and I arrived at a brand new forest. There were tall trees, grass everywhere, bushes, rustles of prey, and— I realized the Dream Pond was still in front of me. Did it teleport me into Jayfeather's dream just like that? That's… awkward. But oh well, it's cool. Turning around, I saw a gray tabby tom with sightless blue eyes that are definitely not sightless here. It was my brother! I missed him so much! I thought my eyes became really watery.

"Jayfeather!" I yowled. The confused tom whipped around, then smiled widely. I didn't think I'd ever see him as happy as that. He hollered happily, "Hollyleaf!" We touched noses, and I nuzzled him warmly. I told him, "I'm a StarClan cat now, Jayfeather." His smile dropped quickly. "Yes," he sighed. "The tunnels collapsed on you." Believe it or not, I was glad he was sad. Did that sound weird? Well, in other words, I was glad he really cared about me.

I told him softly, "But I will try to visit you as often as I can. StarClan is amazing! They are all nice to me, and I learned about so many things! I learned secrets, too. But I can't tell you," I added when I saw Jayfeather's eager look. His warm scent smelled the same. Grumpiness and herbs. I loved my brother so much. StarClan would be perfect if my brothers were with me. Jayfeather smiled and mewed, "Lionblaze and I miss you so much!" I nodded, and told him, "You can go into other cat's dream, right? Well, we can go together. Come on! Let me show you the Dream Pond!" I led him to the beautiful pond and told him the directions Molepaw gave me.

We both drank the delicious water, and thought, Lionblaze. Sooner or later we arrived at another forest. It was a bright forest, with lively plants and lush berries and trees. I glanced at the trees crossly. They were all heather trees. Apparently Lionblaze did not forget Heathertail. All I could hope was that he was dreaming about beating her up or something like the sort. I was glad when I saw Lionblaze spat at the trees. Whoa, was that his hobby? My brothers are unique.

"Hey, Lionblaze!" I called out, trying to be as casual as I could. Lionblaze turned his head and greeted me calmly, "Hey, Hollyleaf." I cocked my head. My brother sure was calm. Not. He totally freaked out a heartbeat later. "H-Hollyleaf! And Jayfeather, too! W-what are you two doing in my dreams?" He stuttered a bit. Now he was shocked. He's a funny brother. But I still love him, of course. Warmly I laughed, "I visited you, of course. And I asked Jayfeather to come with me. He has powers, remember?"

Lionblaze nodded nervously, and then sighed. "I don't have much faith in StarClan anymore! I can't believe you weren't the Power of Three!" Oh, great. I'd just forgotten that horrible memory. Thank you, Lionblaze! Anxiously, I told him, "D-don't worry. I-I d-don't care. W-who is the t-third, then?" Oh no. I stuttered more than Lionblaze. The golden tabby tom stared back into my green eyes with his amber ones. He replied solemnly, "The third is whether Dovekit or Ivykit. They are Whitewing's children." I dipped my head fretfully. Then I stammered, "L-Lionblaze. You must believe in StarClan. StarClan doesn't control anything. But they will always try their best to protect you and give you warnings."

Jayfeather stared at me with his sky-blue eyes. He whispered gravely, "Hollyleaf, you're crying." I realized he was right. Tears were streaming down from my eyes. I quickly escaped from the forest, and padded to the Dream Pond. StarClan hunting grounds, I yowled inside my head. There were still tears surrounding my eyes when I woke up from StarClan. I'm afraid I would continue to cry on and on. My tears are mean to me, and so is my mind. It keeps thinking: I'm not the third!

Those words I didn't want to hear the most.

Aw. Poor Honeyfern. Poor Hollyleaf. OMS! Did I just say Hollyleaf was poor? She was... evil/dumb! Sort of! Well, I still feel bad for her. xD I develop feelings for the characters I write about!! xD Well, hope ya enjoyed this chappy. xD Review! Review! Read! Review! Review! Thanks, bye!
