Hi everyone! Here is my new story. If you follow my other stories, you may not be happy with me discontinuing one to post this, but I hope you all like this one.

Everything was silent and still, broke only by the gentle rustle of the leaves on the trees and the breathing of a slender black she-cat. The black night sky above shone with stars and an almoust full moon.

The black she-cat sat at the edge of a pool, her sleek pelt blending into the shadows around her. The water in the pool layed perfectly still, reflecting the night sky. The she-cat bent down and barely touched the still water with her black nose, before sitting up again.

Small ripples where sent across the water, changing the surface. The pool no longer reflected the night sky, instead it showed an image of three cats.

The first cat was a dappled, smoky gray tabby she-cat. Her blue eyes where filled with pain as she gave birth. Next to her was a skinny gray tabby tom, his blind blue eyes watching her.

A white she-cat with ginger patches and a ginger tail, half her face terribly scarred, sat murmuring soft and comforting words to the kitting queen.

"When I say push, push." The blind tabby ordered. He put his paw on the queen's belly. He waited a moment then said, "Push!"

The smoky gray tabby queen pushed, biting the stick in her jaws to keep herself from wailing, but no kit came. The queen panted and turned to lap at some wet moss my her head before picking up the stick again.

Paw steps distracted the black she-cat from the image in the water. She turned away from the small pond to see a blue-gray she-cat padding towards her.

"Oh, hello Bluestar." The slender black she-cat meowed, dipping her head respectfully then turning her holly green eyes back to the water.

"I knew I would find you here." Bluestar meowed as she settled down next to the black cat. They both watched silently as the gray queen gave birth in the Thunderclan nursery.

"Push!" The medicine cat meowed again, and the queen did as she was told. This time, a small brown tabby slid onto the moss. The gray tabby tom reached down and picked the kit to get it breathing. "It's a tom." He announced.

The queen pulled her kit close, purring as she stared down at it. But stopped as pain filled her again, and she got ready for the next kit.

After a long moment Bluestar said without taking her eyes off of the water, "Hollyleaf, are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine." Hollyleaf answered in a whispered voice. She knew that she was lieing to the Thunderclan leader, but right now, she didn't care.

"I know you not." Bluestar sighed, then continued. "You spend most of your time here, watching your Clanmates. You barely eat or talk to anyone. I know something is bothering you. What is it?"

Hollyleaf was silent for a few heartbeats, just watching the cats in the water.

Then she finally turned to look at the blue-gray leader. "I don't feel like I have done enough." She answered. "I have caused so much pain to my family and Thunderclan. After everything I have done since I had returned, it still dosen't feel enough to fix the pain and trouble I created for all the Clans. I just wish I could go back and do more for all the Clans."

Bluestar was silent for a long moment, still watching the queen birth her kits. "Do you really feel that way?" She finally asked.

"Yes, Bluestar." Hollyleaf turned back to watch the pool of water as well.

"Then I guess I could send you back." Bluestar decided.

"Send me back?" Hollyleaf asked, a bit of surprise showing through in her voice.

"Yes, if you really want to." Bluestar answered.

"Thank you, Bluestar!" Hollyleaf exclaimed, green eyes brightening. She stood up quickly.

"Alright, hold still." Bluestar meowed, standing as well. She touched her nose to Hollyleaf's head. She murmured, eyes closed, "Hollyleaf, warrior of Thunderclan, cat of Starclan. Even though you have done bad things in your life, we give you a second chance.

"I, Bluestar, and all off Starclan, send you back to Thunderclan to make up for the pain you have caused to the Clans. From now on you will be known as Hollykit, daughter of Cinderheart and Lionblaze, cat of Thunderclan. Good luck, and may Starclan light your path."

With her eyes still closed, she turned and touched her nose to the cold water. Bluestar opened her eyes to see that the black she-cat had vanished. She turned back to watch the image on the water.

The blind tom was licking a small black kit. "She-cat." He announced as she she-kit took her first breath, and then let out her first little mew.

I'm trying to make this my best story, so I'm putting in more work than I do with my other stories. I hope you like it, and I'll be working on the second chapter soon.
