I want to be able to help the Clan. If I were a medicine cat I could heal my Clanmates when they were sick and I could share dreams with StarClan. As a warrior I could feed the Clan and defend it-I would die to protect the Clan if I had to-but as a warrior I would be limited to fighting with tooth and claw. As a medicine cat I could fight with all the knowledge and power of StarClan. What better way could there be to serve ThunderClan?

"I know you think you were doing the right thing, but you are only an apprentice. How can you possibly understand? Your duty is to listen and learn and leave the decision making to the warriors."
-Squirrelflight to Hollypaw
Squirrelflight: "Leopardstar. I have come to fetch one of our apprentices. I believe she strayed into you territory."
Leopardstar: "Strayed! She came to spy!"
Hollypaw: "I only wanted to help!"
Squirrelflight: "She is only and apprentice, Leopardstar. She lacks the good judgement that I hope will come with experience. I promise she'll be punished for breaking the warrior code, but ThunderClan can't allow her to stay."

Hollyleaf: "I am not part of the prophecy! I killed a cat, remember? And not because I was being brave or noble. I killed Ashfur because I was angry that our birth had broken the warrior code! Ashfur died because I was so angry I stopped caring about what was right!"
Lionblaze: "It wasn't your fault! Leafpool and Squirrelflight started it. You should blame them!"
Hollyleaf: "No, they made a mistake. They were just trying to make it better. No one should have died because Leafpool's heart led her along the wrong path. Doesn't every cat do that sometime in their life?"
Lionblaze: "I-I guess. But in the end real warriors do the right thing, don't they?"
Hollyleaf: "Yes. Which is why I'm doing everything I can to make it up to my Clan."
