    About this ebook

    In this digital original novella from the world of Erin Hunter's #1 nationally bestselling Warriors series, discover the thrilling story behind Leafpool's greatest secret.

    Leafpool always knew medicine cats weren't meant for love . . . until she fell for the WindClan warrior Crowfeather. Now she's determined to keep their kits a secret. But to fool all of ThunderClan, she'll need help—from her sister Squirrelflight, and perhaps even from StarClan. . . . 

    Set between the events of the The New Prophecy and Power of Three series, Warriors: Leafpool's Wish also includes a teaser to Dawn of the Clans #1: The Sun Trail.

    Erin Hunter

    Erin Hunter is actually three people! She is experienced children's book writers Kate Cary, Cherith Baldry and Victoria Holmes who all live in the UK. Vicky comes up with the story ideas and makes sure the books stay consistent and Kate and Cherith take it in turns to write the books. They came up with the single name, Erin Hunter, to avoid confusing their readers by having books from the same series in different places on the bookshelf.

      It’s so sad how later on in the whole of warriors books hollyleaf goes into the tunnels to escape the horror of the secret (that leafpool is her and her brothers, jayfeather and lionheart’s mother) and the tunnel collapsed in, the clan thought she died but she lived and stayed in the tunnels with fallen leaves (the ghost), in the end at the great battle when Ivypaw (that’s ivykit as a paw’) is cornered and the enemy gives a death blow, hollyleaf blocks it but gets killed. Hollyleaf’s brothers never forgave Leafpool and squirrelflight because of how Leafpool had asked her sister, squirrelflight to lie to the whole of the clans that the three little kits are squirrelflight’s kits not her own. It all concludes with more... but I’m not gonna waste your time too much. Not that I haven’t already... he he he he... ??‍♀️

    CHAPTER 1

    "Keep still, Birchpaw! If you don’t stop wriggling, I’ll have Dustpelt sit on you!" Leafpool retrieved the fallen moss with a hiss and held it over the apprentice’s eye once more.

    It stings! Birchpaw protested.

    What, worse than a badger’s claws? Leafpool meowed skeptically. She squeezed the moss between her pads and a bead of green juice dropped into the center of Birchpaw’s half-closed eye. Birchpaw winced but Leafpool quickly placed her paw on top of his eyelid, keeping it closed while the juice treated the infection.

    Inevitably, memories of the badger attack flooded back to her: the sight of her Clanmates battling for their lives when she and Crowfeather had stood, horrorstruck, at the entrance to the hollow; the sound of small furred bodies thudding into the ground, tossed by gigantic black-and-white paws; the snarls of the badgers rumbling beneath the shrieks of warriors. Birchpaw had been lucky to escape with nothing more serious than a clawed eye. Sootfur had been killed, and so had Cinderpelt the medicine cat, desperately protecting Sorreltail as she gave birth to her kits. Leafpool felt a fresh wave of grief, sharp as ever, when she thought of her mentor dying without her. Cinderpelt must have been terrified for the future of ThunderClan without a medicine cat, yet she still refused to leave Sorreltail’s side.

    I came back, Cinderpelt, and I stayed, Leafpool whispered fiercely, hoping that her mentor could hear her in StarClan.

    Talking to yourself, eh? Brackenfur mewed, appearing in the entrance to the den.

    Leafpool shook the memories clear from her mind. Just remembering something important, she replied. Is everything okay, Brackenfur?

    Er, can I go now? Birchpaw chirped, looking up at her with his injured eye closed and weeping with juice.

    Leafpool nodded. Of course, but you’re still not allowed out of the hollow! I don’t want any brambles poking you in that eye before it’s fully healed.

    Birchpaw trotted out, muttering under his breath. Brackenfur flicked the apprentice with his tail-tip as he passed. Some cats need to remember how lucky they were to survive that battle, he grunted.

    Leafpool bowed her head. And those who fell will not be forgotten.

    Brackenfur ducked to enter the den. Like most of Leafpool’s Clanmates, he glanced nervously up at the roof as if he was wondering how the weight of the cliffs above them was supported. Sorreltail sent me, he meowed. Cinderkit’s picked up a couple of fleas and she wondered if you had anything that might soothe the bites.

    Leafpool pictured the tiny gray she-cat scratching at her fluffy pelt. I’m sure I can help, she purred. Tell Sorreltail I’ll bring something over before sunhigh.

    Brackenfur narrowed his eyes. There’s no rush. You look tired, Leafpool. Is there anything I can do?

    Leafpool shook her head. I’m fine. It’s always busy after a battle, and a nursery full of kits doesn’t help! She paused. Not that I don’t rejoice at every kit born to ThunderClan, she added.

    Brackenfur’s gaze softened. They are all precious, he agreed. He padded out of the den and Leafpool followed him as far as the entrance, where she stood in a shaft of watery sunlight. On the opposite side of the clearing, her sister Squirrelflight was sharing a mouse with Brambleclaw, her dark ginger body curled into his. Leafpool felt a twist of concern in her belly. It looked like Squirrelflight had finally made her choice between their Clanmate Ashfur and the broad-shouldered dark tabby. Leafpool wouldn’t miss the tension between the warriors while Squirrelflight had been making up her mind, but she wished with all her heart that her sister had chosen differently. How could Leafpool tell her that she had dreamed of the Dark Forest and seen Tigerstar mentoring Brambleclaw in secret, training his son in the most terrible ways to kill and maim an enemy? However often Leafpool told herself that Brambleclaw was a loyal ThunderClan warrior, no cat could deny that his father was one of the most dangerous cats ever to live in the Clans.

    And yet there had been the vision of stars over the lake, when Leafpool had been walking alone at sunset. Two starry shapes, unmistakeably Squirrelflight and Brambleclaw, padding side by side across the sky, tails entwined. What could that
