Leaves will Fall

```
  "Hollyleaf!"
   Hollyleaf quickly got to her paws.
   "Hollyleaf, there's a cat in the tunnels!" Fallen Leaves called.
  "Again?"
   "Yes, again!"
   "Alright." She walked through the tunnels, stones rough against her paws.

```

```
        As Hollyleaf walked forward, she bumped into a fluffy, golden tom.
     "Uh, hi, I wandered in here, and uh, can you please help me out?" the tom asked.
      There was something about him. . . that she *knew*. . .
    "Lionblaze?!" The tom tilted his head with confusion.
      "H-how d-do you kn-know m-my na-name?" he asked, clearly confused with the obvious.
   "It's me! Hollyleaf? Your sister!" she mewed and Lionblaze stared at her, smiling.
   "Really? Oh, Hollyleaf! I've missed you so much! You won't believe how much Jayfeather missed you!" he purred, brushing his tail against hers.
       "Lionblaze, I didn't know you missed me so much. If I know that, I wouldn't have left! And, wait, Jayfeather missed me?"
    Lionblaze nodded.
        "Surprising, right?"
     Jayfeather stalked his brother and snarled a bit before pouncing.
     "AH!"
        "I have feelings you know!"
    "You look. . . plump," Jayfeather mewed, tilting his head.
      "Oh! I forgot to tell you! I'm expecting kits!"
     Jayfeather and Lionblaze gasped.
       "Really? WHO?!" Lionblaze demanded.
     "No one you know."
      "I'd like to meet him!" Lionblaze huffed.
          "If you insist."

```

```
          "This is Fallen Leaves." Jayfeather nodded.
          "Fallen Leaves, you're expecting my sister's kits? You better take care of her!" Lionblaze snarled and Fallen Leaves, so surprised, flinched and nodded quickly.
     "Okay!" Fallen Leaves mewed and Lionblaze backed up.

### Chapter one

Leaf wriggled closer to her mother.

```
     "They're beautiful, Hollyleaf," Fallen Leaves purred and licked Leaf, Acorn, Branch, and Berry.
    "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, I'M HERE TO SEE MY SISTER'S KITS!" yelled Lionblaze, pushing his way past Fallen Leaves.
    "Don't worry about him, Fallen Leaves, he's just excited," Jayfeather mewed, walking past Fallen Leaves, who was on the ground.
       "Lionblaze!" Hollyleaf laughed.
      Leaf let out a mew and Hollyleaf licked her.
        "I bet they're beautiful, Hollyleaf. Though, I can't really tell," Jayfeather meowed.
     "They are!" Lionblaze purred.
     Lionblaze wrapped his tail around Jayfeather's shoulders and mewed, "Oh, how beautiful they are!"
    "Don't rub it in," muttered Jayfeather, rolling his sightless, blue eyes.
      "Don't be a grump!" Lionblaze mrowed.
      "Although, you *see*-" Jayfeather cut him off with a pounce, claws sheathed, of course.
    "Haha, Jayfeather, it was only a joke!"
      "Would you like it if we started making jokes about *you* if you were *colorblind, deaf, blind, mute, or anything like that*?" everyone (who could talk) in the tunnels growled.
    "Fair point," Lionblaze sighed.
      "REAOWR!"
     "ShadowClan must be attacking!" Lionblaze gasped.
        "No, ShadowClan doesn't know any cat is in here. . . however. . . ThunderClan! They must have followed our scent!" Jayfeather gasped, smelling ThunderClan cats.
    "I smell them in here!" Brambleclaw called to his patrol.
