Sorry I havent been on here in a while, summer is very...summer-y. :-) Anyway, after Sunrise came out, the book where Hollyleaf told all four clans at a gathering that Crowfeather and Leafpool were her, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather's parents, Erin Hunter ended the book once Thunderclan got back to camp and Hollyleaf died. I always wondered what had happened to her, and I would write stories about it. Here is one:
Jayfeather lay on the cold earth, silently looking up toward the stars. Hollyleaf was dead, and the prophecy couldn't fallow through. Next to him, Lionblaze sat curled up in a tight ball, his body slowly rising up and down. ThunderClan was sitting vigal for Hollyleaf, thinking that rocks had tumbled down on her while she was chasing prey, but only Lionblaze and Jayfeather knew the truth. Hollyleaf had murdered Ashfur, the cat who threatened to reveal the secret that Squirrelflight was not their parents. She was ditraught that cats had lied to her and her brothers and had broken the warrior code that she had valued so much, and eventually it was to much for her.
Raising his head to a sudden noise, Jayfeather carefully sat up. Although he was blind, he knew everything that was happening in the camp. Brambleclaw lumbered through the camp entrance with his mate, Squirrelflight right behind him. "Brambleclaw, I didn't mean-" Squirrelflight stammered. Brambleclaw whirled around to face her, hurt and anger in his eyes. "You didn't tell me after everything we have done!" without giving her a chance to talk, he quickly padded off toward the warriors den leaving Squirrelflight alone. Jayfeather could feel her turn her hurt green gaze toward him, but he did not want to speak to her. Squirrelflight let out a soft gasp and headed toward the medicine cat den with her tail dragging in the dirt. Good. Jayfeather thought. Let her be around another liar. We dont need them!

"Let all cats old enough to catch their own prey join beneath this high-ledge for a clan meeting!" Firestar's yowl rang out across the camp. Even though it was dawn, the clan had much to do today. The cats scampered around the ledge, eager to see what their leader woild say, casting hostile glances toward Leafpool and Squirrelflight who sat at the edge of the group. Firestar looked directly at Leafpool and Squirrelflight and said "Hollyleaf went to StarClan last night, and we will honor her for many moons to come." he paused, choosing his words carefully. "But we must address what has happened in our clan. Squirrelflight, you have raised Leafpool's kits in secret to the clan, and our warrior ancestors frown upon that. Leafpool, you fell in love, which is agenst the medicine cat code, and it was a cat from a different clan." another pause. "You both loved Hollyleaf very much, and her death is a good enough punishment for you. Both of you will stay in ThunderClan, but I hope you understand what you did was wrong." The ThunderClan cats began murmuring to each other and Berrynose shouted out "They dont deserve to be in this clan!" fallowed by more outbursts. "SILENCE!" Firestar yowled. "I am the clan leader, and that is my decision. The day will go on as usuall. Brambleclaw, organise the patrols." Firestar whipped around and stalked into his den. The cats began to break up although Jayfeather and Lionblaze padded toward each other. "It must be hard for Firestar, Squirrelflight and Leafpool are his daughters." Lionblaze whispered. Jayfeather nodded, then looked up at Lionblaze "what has happened to ThunderClan?"
