A/N: Yep…I bet we all knew this was going to happen. I was gonna just STOP. I am soooooooo predictable. Anyways, This is the finale. Right here. This is it!: THE END. Just going to say, scroll down if you want to read the run down to the end. Also, before you do that, please take note: THIS IS NOT CANCLED! I am currently rewriting it because I am really disappointed with how this turned out. Expect "Hollystar's Revenge Redux" to be out soon! Also, again, for those who see this, never expect me to upload on a schedule. It's just not gonna happen. And hopefully I won't lose inspiration super fast anymore either. The trick is for me to not burn myself out. I also feel like I can write better now; you can see this when you compare chapter 1 to chapter ~13 maybe? I barely remember what I've wrote anymore, and I feel terrible for not doing anything with this for so long.
Lastly, THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT! I've gotten messages and all sorts of stuff for this for so long, It really makes me happy. Please join me in Hollystar's Revenge Redux, I think it will be worth your time! (The ending below will be different in the rudux).
Hollystar was bloodied up. She had deep claw streaks gashed down her entire body. The pouring rain drenched her, and clogged her fur, turning it red. Thunder crackled and lightning struck.
I've never felt this before… This peril, this pain, all of this…
There was a fire in the distance, the rain was putting it out.
The strength of the remaining Thunderclanners was miniscule; they were weak and useless and weren't a threat. Her problem was Brambleclaw. Her damned father. Why couldn't he just accept his banishment as mercy! He had to save his clan; his damned loyalty was too much!
He came back, and defiled her warriors! He killed them off, one by one: secretly. Then he started to recruit them; he turned them against her! The mutiny mad her furious! Her treacherous soldiers, who had once been willing to die for her, betrayed her!
To her damned father. If she was to die, she wouldn't be alone…
Her death was imminent, but her pride prevented that to even cross her mind. She was invincible, a horrible monster that would terrorize the entirety of universe for eternity! But she couldn't see her fate. Her end, in blood, and war, and death.
Her mind was a mess; full of hatred and pain. She wanted true and permanent vengeance; to make those who destroyed her suffer.
But she would not get her way, because Brambleclaw was behind her. He leaped.
For the first time since she rounded up her first comrades, she didn't see her assailant.
The Ex-Deputy landed flat on her back, his claws immediately in her flesh.
"HSSSSSSSSSSS!" She spun around, her abnormal strength flinging him away. "So father, you've finally decided to face your fate. The fate you deserve!" She launched herself towards him, landing a clean swipe to his flank. He didn't flinch.
"You're no kin of I; this your end Hollystar! You're reign of terror is over! " He lunged for her, he flew right under her.
He threw his claws upwards with all his strength…and he met nothing.
Hollystar was more agile than he could ever hope to be, she flew out of the way before he even had a chance.
"I know you're better than that! Come on Brambleclaw! She me fight I can remember!" She screeched. She had no doubt that he would die. It would be a horrible death; oh yes it would.
The fire was burning closer, Brambleclaw would have to end this soon, otherwise there would be no survivors. CRACK! The lightning was also nearing.
"You won't be remembering anything!" He leaped.
Hollystar prepared to jump, and land behind him… but he dive. He rammed into her skull headfirst.
She was dazed; not sure where her opponent was…
But Brambleclaw did. SLASH!
Light. No darkness. Just light.
She crumpled to the ground. Dead in the instant. He made it painless, as Brambleclaw was a merciful cat. He was a brave soul, a cat of honor and greatness. He was a leader.
…
Hollystar could see. There was only light. She could run forever without getting tired in this place.
She was unsure; as in her youth, where she was happy. She was curious, and she felt innocent. She could not remember anything of her past, except her youth. Her innocence.
She ran on. Hours, days, years… there was no way to tell. There was just white.
She wasn't in the Dark Forest as she had expected while alive. She wasn't in the illustrious Starclan, with their perfect hunting grounds. This place was different… it was empty; devoid of everything. An everlasting void of nothingness.
Yet, on the horizon was a tree. It looked to be a willow, but a light, sky blue. It looked peaceful and kind.
This is where I want to be. She decided.
She ran for hours and hours over the bottomless void of whiteness. It seemed to not get closer. No matter how long she ran, nothing happened.
She began to feel a haziness come about her; her mind was slipping into unconsciousness.
NO! I must reach the tree!
She sprinted forward. Suddenly, it was approaching her. Quickly.
Hollyleaf kept going, darkness was closing in however.
As she approached the magnificent blue willow, the sky fell.
There wasn't really a sky to fall, but the endless white above her did. Above was darkness, eternal blindness and perpetual obscurity. She was afraid.
She turned back towards the tree, to see that it had withered. It was red. The shade of blood. It's lustrous pale bark turned black. It was evil; an evilness she had not known in her youth.
Now the whole of the whiteness had fallen away, with darkness crashing down. She was blind except for the dim bloody light that radiated from the tree.
SHRIEK! (A/N: sorry it's so anticlimactic; imagine the most spine-chilling scream you possibly can).
Thousands and thousands of cats, all screeching and crying in pain and sadness.
"Stop! Stop! STOP STOP STOP STOP! You're hurting me!" Hollyleaf screamed, terrified. This is the worst nightmare she'd ever had. Except this wasn't a nightmare this was her reality. Her Hell.
The tree split. A slow trickle of red liquid flowed out. It soon became a gushing river. It came into her fur and consumed her. She was soaked and her fur was clogged; her screaming was endless.
Cat's started to flow out of the river of blood. First, was Firestar.
Thank Starclan! He's here to save me!
She tried to paddle towards him, the thick fluid was difficult to slosh through.
Suddenly, his throat was bleeding. He fell. A dark figure ran round him. They had green eyes.
She realized, suddenly, that her family and friends were all around her. They too, began to get torn apart; ripped and shredded, eaten and defiled. Destroyed and added to the lake of blood. Each time one fell, there was another wail of pain and horror. The dark figure would kill all of them.
The dark figure appeared in front of her. It turned around and looked into her eyes. Her bright green, dilated eyes.
Those are my eyes.
Abruptly, in her innocence, her memories returned. She spun around, looking at the infinite horrors around her.
No. No! NO! No no no no no no no! This can't be real! This can't be happening! I didn't do this! I couldn't have!
The realization was destroying… A forceful, abusive crash to her reality. She was petrified with herself. Fear, agony, hatred. She felt it all. She felt everything she felt while alive: betrayal, guilt, the hatred of others. She was overloaded, she couldn't move.
"You've done this." The voice was distorted. Ripped and callous. It came from herself. The dark figure. "You've done this. I did, you did; we did. And we'll do it again and again and again. Forever." The figure spun around, invisible.
The cries of agony and horror rocked her body, as the bodies of the cats she'd slain flew around her.
"WHY!?" They'd scream. They wouldn't stop. They'd never stop.
SLASH!
…
Hollyleaf woke up. She got up and saw infinite whiteness.
Then she turned around. And there was the willow. And the blood. And the Screams. And the black figure.
"This is hell."
Her suffering was eternal. She would repeat this: forever.
A/N: I'm proud of this ending, it was dark and I got chills whilst typing (there were tears and now I'm afraid). I hope you enjoyed! Hopefully I'll see all of you soon!
A/N2: Be careful if you imagine this in your head. If you put yourself in her place… you'll damage yourself. This is hell. The eternal punishment that was foretold.
