== History ==
=== The Beginning ===
Hollykit laid on a stone, sleeping. A recently made rambunctious apprentice started a fight with her and Aidkit. Riverpaw joined in, teaming up with the other apprentice. Hollykit, with the help of Aidkit, defeated the two without seriously injuring them. Riverpaw gains respect for them and they become friends.
=== Fox Breach ===
A small fox managed to infiltrate the nursery and grabbed Troutkit. He screamed for help and Hollykit snapped into action. She commanded the kits, Mistkit, Silentkit, and Aidkit, to run around and confuse the fox while attacking at different times. With 4 kits at almost 6 moons attacking and confusing the inexperienced fox, it decided to release Troutkit and escape. Impressed, Troutkit expresses his amazement out loud and the other kits tease him about liking her.
=== Abducted by Nightfang ===
A ThunderClan warrior named Nightfang hears about how Hollykit and her den-mates defeat a fox and goes on a mission to kidnap her. He tampers with Hollykit's prey, and she goes unconscious. Meanwhile, Timestar makes an offer to Ripplestar — ThunderClan will form an alliance with RiverClan and provide them with temporary warriors for four seasons. Though in return, RiverClan would have to give something up. There is no going back if the deal is accepted. Timestar refuses to let Ripplestar know what that "something" is. In the end, Ripplestar refuses his offer and Nightfang's eyes are injured on his way back to ThunderClan. He retreats, having to leave Hollykit.
=== The First Gathering ===
At the gathering, the 4 leaders announced their news about their clans. Bushpaw asked Timestar if they could stay for a while longer as he wanted to converse with the other clans. Timestar agreed but things soon escalate as a ThunderClan apprentice, Toadpaw, challenged Hollypaw. Unexpectedly, Toadpaw targeted Rushstorm and Icepelt. He claimed that they were mates and that Icepelt was bearing Rushstorm's kits. The argument escalated further and Toadpaw started to shout at the leaders in anger for not seeing the problem. Toadpaw ordered Mistpaw to confirm if this is true, adding a silent threat. Scared and baffled at how Toadpaw gained this information, she complied much to her reluctance. She confirmed that everything he has said is true. Her word was trusted as she was Icepelt’s apprentice. Toadpaw demanded that the two are exiled, but StarClan covers the moon before a response could be given. An agreement was made between ThunderClan and RiverClan that instead of fighting, Toadpaw would be able to challenge Hollypaw to a competition set to take place at the gathering location. If Hollypaw were to lose, Rushstorm and Icepelt would be exiled. The winning clan would also win an amount of fresh kill. They would each send a warrior as a messenger to confirm a time.
=== Toadpaw’s Challenge ===
The competition was agreed to take place less than a moon later, giving each apprentice time to prepare. On the day of, a portion of RiverClan and ThunderClan arrived to spectate. Three activities were decided on: a jumping contest, a tracking contest, and an obstacle course. Both had won one event, meaning the obstacle course would determine the winner. Hollypaw was gaining lead in the obstacle course, so in an act of desperation, Toadpaw purposely tripped her and won. An apprentice had seen and reported Toadpaw’s cheating. RiverClan was deemed the winner to Toadpaw’s dismay.
