Hollyleaf's Death Scene: - Leafpool crouched beside her daughter. "Hollyleaf?" Hollyleaf half opened her eyes and moaned. "It's okay." Leafpool lapped at her cheek as Jayfeather unrolled a leaf bundle beside her. He sniffed her pelt and began to press cobweb where there was blood. "She's bleeding here!" Leafpool gasped in panic. Blood was pooling around her paws. She grabbed a pawful of cobwebs and stuffed it underneath Hollyleaf's neck. "It's okay, Leafpool." Hollyleaf's eyes flickered open again. "I don't mind," she croaked. "I'm glad I came back to ThunderClan." her chest fluttered as she fought for breath. "I couldn't bear to . . . to leave without getting to know my mother." "Save her!" screeched Ivypool. "You have to save her! Hawkfrost tried to kill me, but Hollyleaf chased him away." "Hawkfrost?" Brambleclaw looked up from beside Hollyleaf, his eyes darkening. "He did this?" Ivypool nodded. "I was fighting Snowtuft and Thistleclaw. I couldn't help her." Dovewing presed against her sister. "You carried her home," she soothed. "You couldn't have done more." She pricked her ears as she heard the paw steps of the Dark Forest patrol crunch over the leaves. "Firestar," she hissed. "They've reached the woods." Firestar stiffened beside Leafpool. "Hollyleaf." Leafpool pressed her muzzle against her daughter's cheek. "Hollyleaf?" Hollyleaf's head fell back and her eyes dulled. Leafpool turned frantically to Jayfeather. "She's not breathing!" "She's lost too much blood," Jayfeather meowed gently. He touched Hollyleaf's pelt. His paw trembled.
