Hollowleaf

I stay empty, feel the hunger, so simple when I was younger

Hollowleaf was a ShadowClan warrior who served under Hopestar's and Sageflower's leaderships from Ninth to Fifteenth Generations. He was born to Softdapple and Tuftfrost alongside Ryekit and Icekit. He was mentored by Miraclemoon, and trained in the Dark Forest. He mentored Webpaw. He was mates with Oddcloud and had Spottedkit and Fallenkit with her. He was killed by BoneClan rogues before he could finish Webpaw's training.

# History

Growing up as the son of a BoneClan rogue who wasn’t completely trusted was hard. Plus, his father was unknown, but a rumor got out that it was Tuftfrost, which the tom never confirmed nor denied, but Hollowkit knew he was his father after he heard his mother telling Miraclemoon so. Hollowkit learned early on that he had to ice himself off to the opinions of others.

He was apprenticed to Miraclemoon, his mother’s best friend. He had never been the chattiest like his mentor, but, despite that, they got along well, being sort of like family in a way. He grew up knowing he was related- by blood or closeness- to plenty of drama, and he was sick of it. A part of him wanted to run away from ShadowClan, from all of the clans, but he stayed there. It was all he knew, after all.

He ended up being visited by the Dark Forest one night. They offered to train him, to let him in on Thistlesong, Sheeptail, Snowmoon, Tuftfrost, any Dark Forest cats’ schemes, his father’s especially. They thought, him being the cold cat he was, he would accept. But Hollowleaf was a coward. He didn’t have the confidence to run away from the clans, he didn’t have the confidence to speak up and change things. Just him, himself, and his silence.

So he ran, and hid, anytime he would be dragged to the Dark Forest. He wouldn’t deny their training, nor would he accept it. Just like his father had for him. There, he learned about many plots, including how his father had kits with she-cats in other clans. There, he found Oddcloud, who had gone through as many family struggles as him, if not more tragic and sad than dramatic and betraying as his.

The two bonded, sharing their woes and their sorrows. It was obvious to the clans that they would become mates. And mates they did become, Oddcloud giving birth to Fallenkit and Spottedkit. They loved their little kits very much, and they were both so proud when they became apprentices. But, not everything could be so sweet and wonderful, as Oddcloud died from infected wounds after a battle with BoneClan. Spottedpaw became Spottedcloud, named after her mother. Hollowleaf was depressed, and swore vengeance against BoneClan. But with the new leaders, Sweetlight and Mossyflight, taking over, there would not be anymore fights against them.

But he and his apprentice, Webpaw, believed BoneClan could never be good, and staged an attack on them to murder at least one of their leaders. But, the attack backfired, killing Hollowleaf and leaving Webpaw to panic and run away from the clans. The only regrets Hollowleaf had was that the only time he wasn’t a coward, he got his apprentice into trouble, and that he wasn’t there to finish his apprentice’s training. But, he was happy to watch with Oddcloud from StarClan as Webpaw continued her training under Fawnleap, Spottedcloud’s mate.
