Black Paper Moon

This is a Songfic based on Hollyleaf running away from ThunderClan after that fateful Gathering in Sunset. I changed a few details, like where Hollyleaf ran before going into the tunnels, and the dialogue. Sorry.

Disclaimer: I own neither the song (Black Paper Moon) or Warriors).

Hollyleaf stood, stiff-legged, in front of every Clan.

I'm Falling

Down into My Shadow

Cinderheart stared in horror at her friend. Hollyleaf darted off the island and towards ThunderClan territory. I can't go on any more! Hollyleaf silently wailed.

Hoping that the deadly night

Will never take my breath away

"Hollyleaf!" Lionblaze yowled, he and Jayfeather trying to catch up to their sister. Why had she revealed the secret they fought to keep? Was Ashfur's murder in vain after all?

Don't be afraid

Because if you wish for it

Hollyleaf's tears streaked her cheeks as she darted wildly around ThunderClan territory. She suddenly stopped when she saw no ground up ahead. ThunderClan camp.

Anything you may think of

Will magically appear before your eyes

No. She could not face them once more. Not after admitting she was the daughter of a medicine cat and a warrior. She was never supposed to exist.

See you in your dreams, yeah, baby

I'll be the one to tear your nightmares

Lionblaze came to a halt, Jayfeather scrambling clumsily behind him. Hollyleaf had neared the top of the hollow, but veered away. "Where did she go?" Jayfeather asked. "Not into ThunderClan this way," Lionblaze panted, running back into the forest.

Fairy Blue, for you I'll do it all

I'll take those pretty stars

Hollyleaf ran back through the forest, paws slipping on the rain-soaked ground now. Where can I go? she thought. Then she remembered. The tunnels.

And hang them up by your

Black Paper Moon

Rain soaked Lionblaze and Jayfeather's pelts. Hollyleaf's scent was going towards the tunnels. Lionblaze shuddered. To him, they meant only hardship and pain. Memories of Heathertail and he playing together, then WindClan attacking them, made him wonder why.

Just believe in me and I'll be there.

Hollyleaf soon arrived at the tunnels. Not long behind were her brothers. "Hollyleaf, it doesn't have to be this way!" Lionblaze shouted. "I have no future with the Clans! I'm half-Clan, I'm not even wanted!" Hollyleaf wailed.

When you're

Lost here

I Am

Forever with your soul

Hollyleaf darted into the tunnels, murmuring softly, "Good-bye." A wall of earth came down.

You can find me right above

Right by that shining moon.

"HOLLYLEAF!" Lionblaze yowled. Jayfeather yowled mournfully. Their sister was dead.

Lionblaze and Jayfeather padded back to ThunderClan. Up above, a single star shone.
