Hollywhisker's Wish

‌• Hollywhisker's Wish ‌•

*"You will raise and care for my kits, and you will like it. You are nothing, and I own you. Do you understand that?" His voice was sharp and harsh like his icy glare. Hollywhisker winced at almost every word, the pain in her swollen belly, hardening.*

*"Yes, I will." She looked down to the snow, her paws buried and num in the cold flurries.*

 ‌• Prologue ‌•

As the orange sun sank downwards, the large, long-haired dark gray tabby tom-cat sat outside the Warriors' Den. He nervously glanced back and forth towards the small, milk-scented hollow. He finally rose to his massive paws and trotted cautiously towards the den.

"Ah, Feathertrail, don't worry. I bet Specklesnow is doing just fine. Sagesong is the best medicine cat ever!" A small light orange tabby she-cat purred, blocking the entrance with her tiny body, her stump of a tail waving energetically.

"I'm sorry Finchpaw, it's just I'm worried for her. She's my mate." Feathertrail let out a worried sigh, trying to peer into the den before Finchpaw moved her head to block his view. The reason young Finchpaw wasn't in the den with Sagesong was the fact she was just recently apprenticed a few sunrises ago with her siblings.

Finally, a slender white she-cat exited the nursery, her light green eyes showing signs of great joy. "Feathertrail, congratulations, you are officially a father to two she-cats and two toms." Sagesong smiled, making her way back to the Medicine Den, Finchpaw at her heels.

Feathertrail cautiously and quietly entered the tight den. Hopefully, he could convince Willowstar to expand the tiny den. Despite Specklesnow being the only Queen, he could tell they would be needing more room soon.

He smiled at the sight of a tired Specklesnow, and at her still slightly swollen belly, four wonderful kits. He still couldn't believe it. *He was a father.*

"So, what are we naming them?" The tom asked, nuzzling his mate slightly. Making her smile a tired smile.

"Well, for the largest kit, the long-haired dark gray tom-kit, I was thinking Ashkit. After your father." Specklesnow looked down at the bushy-tailed tom. Feathertrail thought back to his Apprenticeship. His father, Ashclaw died before he became a Warrior. *And he would have been so proud of him.*

Feathertrail gazed upon the small kits. "Well, for the speckled tortoiseshell she-kit, I was thinking Hollykit. And for the dark brown tom-kit, Rowankit." He told Specklesnow, licking her muzzle. "You can decide the last one."

"Well, for the smallest kit, the white, pale brown speckled she-kit, I was thinking Petalkit. Her speckles look like falling blossoms." She lightly chuckled, settling down into her soft nest filled with moss and feathers, and let her kits suckle.

 ‌• Chapter 1 ‌•

The shine shown into the tiny den, causing Hollykit to blink slowly. She stretched out her front paws and let out a long yawn. Once she rose to her paws, she looked around the small hollow of a den. The sun was just starting to rise. *How early was it?*

She squirmed out of the tight space between Rowankit and Petalkit and tried her best not to trample over her mother and Honeyflower, the newest queen. Only Willowstar seemed to be awake. She turned around to slip back into her spot, but she noticed Ashkit, her largest sibling, had pushed Petalkit into her spot. She decided to go out.

It took a moment for Willowstar to notice her. "Good Morning, Hollykit. You're up early." She smiled at the tiny kit. Hollykit took a few steps forward. "Yeah, I don't really know why." She yawned once again.

She looked around camp, picking up the delicate aroma of Maple trees surrounding the very large camp. "So, why are you up?" Hollykit curiously asked the pale gray tabby she-cat.

"Well, I usually get up a bit later than I did, but I guess because I wanted to see if we needed to expand some dens, and to just think." Willowstar replied, her gazing going off to the small nursery. "I can tell this one here definitely needs to be expanded." She chuckled, focusing back to Hollykit.
> "That be great!" She chirped. She barely had any room to breathe in there, since Speckleface and Honeyflower were almost always in there. It was okay until Honeyflower started spending her time either sleeping, talking to her mate, Graymask, or eating. Mostly sleeping though.

Hollykit heard footsteps come from the large tree surrounded by tall grass, known as the Warrior's Den. A large gray tabby tom with a long bushy tail emerged from the grass. Hollykit smiled, knowing this was her father. The tom yawned and stretched, taking a few rabbit-lengths closer to the group.
"Good Morning, Hollykit, Willowstar." Feathertrail smiled, wrapping his fluffy tail around his large paws, flicking it every so often. "I'm thinking about sending Harepelt, Grassrose, Sandheart, Ivypaw, and Shellpaw on the Dawn patrol, to mark borders and to hunt a bit. Does that sound good with you, Willowstar?" The tom looked over at Willowstar, expectantly.

"Well, maybe swap out Sandheart and Shellpaw for Ravenfeather and Gingerwing. I'm going to asses Shellpaw and her siblings progress at Sunhigh, so it's best not to send her and Sandheart out." Willowstar replied, focusing on the tom.

"Alright, that sounds fine with me. Shall I wake them up?" He agreed and asked, flicking his ear towards the den he had exited earlier. "Sure, go ahead." Willowstar purred, retreating to her den.

Hollykit bounded over to her father, trying to catch up with him as he walked. "Hey dad, can you play with us when your available?" She asked, her excitement building up. "Sure, and maybe I could teach you and your brothers and sister the hunter's crouch." He smiled once again, before continuing his walk to the Warrior's Den.

**~~~**

"Alright Beetlepaw, Bramblepaw, you can play with us, but I'm the leader!" Hollykit's bigger brother Ashkit squeaked at the older apprentice. The Dawn patrol had just recently left and majority of the Clan had awoken. "Beetlepaw, you can be my Deputy, and Petalkit can be the Medicine Cat." Ashkit spoke once again, turning to the tiny speckled she-kit.

"Can't I be Medicine Cat?" Asked Hollykit's smaller brother, Rowankit. "No, because you and Bramblepaw are rogues!" Ashkit bounced in excitement.

"I'd much rather be a MapleClan Warrior." A pale brown tabby spoke up with a calm, soft voice that reminded Hollykit of her mother, who was currently talking with Feathertrail. "Fine, but that means Hollykit has to be a rogue." Ashkit looked over at Hollykit. She sighed in annoyance. "But I don't want to be a rogue!" She wailed in defense. "Me either." Added Rowankit.

"Ugh! But then the game wouldn't work!" Ashkit wailed, before screeching for his mother. "Mom! They aren't playing right!"

Specklesnow trotted over to the kits and two apprentices. "What's going on?" She asked worriedly, looking at the group of young cats.

"Ashkit's being bossy, again!" Groaned Rowankit, with Petalkit at his side. Hollykit quietly sat next to Bramblepaw, trying not to speak.

"But mom! They aren't listening to me!" Ashkit complained, running up to his mother.

"Ashkit," Began Specklesnow, her tone calm and soft. "Why don't you play Clan Camp instead? Then everyone can be a Clan cat." Specklesnow finished, a smile forming on her face.

Hollykit bounced up in excitement. "I wanna play Clan Camp! And I wanna be deputy, just like Feathertrail." Hollykit stood proudly, trying to imitate her father.

"Can I be Medicine Cat?" Rowankit asked, tilting his head to the side.

"Fine." Ashkit replied with an annoyed tail flick. "The rest of you are loyal MapleClan warriors."
