Just because I stopped caring, you call me insane. Just because I clung to my beliefs, you call me obsessed. Just because I defended my Clan, you call me a murderer. Just because I did what no one else could, you call me a traitor. Just because I remember the lies, you call me unforgiving. Just because I remembered the hurt, you call me cold hearted.

After all the pain, after all the suffering... No. I won't be self-pitying like that wretched excuse for a mother, Squirrelflight.

Yes, perhaps I am coldhearted. There's a reason. In this cold, cruel world, there are two options. To be like Leafpool - weak and unable to cope with the consequences of your mistakes and the lies, or to be hard; to do what has to be done. I chose the only option that would keep my heart beating.

It's all very well to be noble. It's all very well to forgive. It's all very well to be the good one... the perfect example.

But I wasn't perfect, was I? I had other ambitions, other ideas. I wasn't exactly like the rest of them.

I wasn't one of the three.

Nothing would ever be the same, not after the lie. IT wasn't just Squirrelflight and Leafpool that lied to me, it was StarClan. The cats I put my faith in above all else lied to me, and betrayed me.

It's all very well to be perfect, but what about the ones that aren't? They are the ones that are criticised.

My brother's made up a very convincing shining lie. They told everyone of my bravery, and they held vigil. But after a while, they all forgot.

Well, sometimes it pays off to be cold hearted.

Okay, so here's how it works. This will be various oneshots, and perhaps poems about Hollyleaf. It won't be updated periodically, like my other stories, as I'm very busy. But I will try to update it regularly.
Now, just to let you know, I am a SCREAMING Hollyleaf fan. Let me take a moment to say SCREAMING again. Her life is so tragic, I just can't believe that people don't like her and criticize her. I understand that several people don't like her, but I do. If you don't like her, then you don't need to read stories about her. If you review (which I encourage you to do!), please tell me about how you like (or didn't like) my writing. Whether you like Hollyleaf or not is an entirely different issue. I'd be interested to hear if you like her or not, why, and stuff like that in your review. However, please tell me something about my writing. I'd like to receive your opinion on my writing, not whether you like her or not alone. So, keeping in mind what I said, there are two great videos I watched on youtube which got me all inspired for this. If I can post the links, I can. If not, they are called 'Hollyleaf's Inner Strength', and HollyLeaf Hurt'. They are awesome videos!
