Thanks for the reviews :) :P

The moonpool

Hollypaw kept running, but not towards camp, she didn't want to go back, not yet, not with the memories of Darkclaw so fresh in her mind.

How could he say something like that about her clanmates, she had thought he was different, that showed how stupid she was, didn't it. How could he have said that though, it hadn't seemed like him, he had seemed so angry.

Why would he throw away their friendship over that though, why? They had spent so much time together, risked so much. He was a Shadowclan deputy and she was a Thunderclan apprentice but they fitted together. However much as she wanted too Hollypaw didn't want to imagine her life without those meetings with Darkclaw.

Why couldn't she just stop thinking about him, she had other friends, but they didn't take up all of her time, they weren't on her mind wherever she went, every second she was awake.

Maybe Darkclaw had turned into a bit more than a friend, maybe. No, of course he hadn't, they were just really good friends, that were from different clans, that met up in secret every night, that she just couldn't get out of her mind. Why was this so confusing?

Suddenly Hollypaw realised that she had no idea where she was, she could still smell Thunderclan, but she could smell all the other clans too, and it wasn't loads of cats like at the gathering, it was just a few.

She let out a little gasp as she saw a tiny pool glistening in the moonlight and she recognised Jayfeather's scent. She was at the moonpool! She shouldn't be here , this was only for medicine cats.

Hollypaw turned to walk away when she heard a voice whisper "Drink!"

She turned her head but she couldn't see anyone and she couldn't scent anyone either, "Drink!" There it was again. She obediently crouched down at the waters edge, took a sip of the icy water and closed her eyes, not really sure what she was waiting for.

Hollypaw opened her eyes to see a gray blue she cat standing infront of her.

"Who are you?" She asked tentatively, was this a Starclan cat, who was it.

"I'm Bluestar." The she cat replied.

Bluestar! Bluestar was legendary! She had heard so many stories about the ex Thunderclan leader but had never in her wildest dreams expected to ever meet her.

"Was it you telling me to drink?" Hollypaw asked.

"Yes it was." Bluestar replied.

"Why?" Hollypaw asked, "I thought the moonpool was only for medicine cats."

"No, the moonpool can be for any cat that has a strong enough bond with Starclan. Most cats that have strong bonds with Starclan are medicine cats, but sometimes they are not, look at yourself for example." Bluestar explained.

"I have a strong bond with Starclan?" Hollypaw questioned.

"A bond stronger than most." Bluestar answered.

"But, why did you want to see me?" Hollypaw asked. Maybe she was going to be punished for meeting Darkclaw, it was against the warrior code after all.

Bluestar let out a sigh, "Because I need to tell you something."

"Is it Darkclaw because I'm not going to meet up with him again because he-"

"Shh young one, you must listen to what I have to say." Bluestar said.

Hollypaw just nodded and Bluestar began to speak.

"I know how you feel, to love one from another clan and I am sorry to say your final choice will be hard. You will have two choices. They will both bring heartache but one will make you happier than the other in the end, you will know what to do when the time comes." Bluestar said.

Hollypaw stared in shock as the she cat began to fade, "What, no, don't go, I-" It was no use though, sshe was alone by the moonpool again.

What had Bluestar meant, that she loved someone from another clan. She knew about Bluetstar and Oakfur but, she didn't love Darkclaw did she? She didn't love him, he was just a friend, well not a friedn anymore.

Hollypaw told herself this, convinced herself but deep down she knew that she was lying, she knew what she felt for the Shadowclan deputy wasn't just friendship, it wasn't even close.

Please review thanks :) :P
