Description
"Hollyleaf." She didn't sound surprised to find her daughter there. Her eyes were full of weariness and sorrow. "It's all right," she mewed. I forgive you."
"What!" Hollyleaf sprang to her paws. "You forgive me? You're the one who needs forgiveness! You abandoned your kits! You let us grow up in a web of lies, and now the warrior code might be broken forever because of your stupid, selfish actions."
"Do you think you need to tell me that?" Leafpool asked, still with the same exhausted calm. "I can only tell you how much I love you. I'm so sorry for what I did."
"And you expect me to forgive you?" Hollyleaf snarled. "Well, I don't. I never will." Fur bristling, she padded around Leafpool until she blocked the entrance to the den. "See those deathberries? You're going to eat them - or I'll make you!" "What?" Leafpool sounded bewildered.
"Eat them! You deserve to die." Hollyleaf crouched, ready to spring, when the medicine cat made no move toward the deadly berries. "I've killed once," she snarled. "And I can do it again."
~ Probably one of the best moments in the books. I like Hollyleaf a lot, though I can't really forgive her for the way she treated Leafpool. I understand why she reacted the way she did, and I do sympathize her, a lot, but she took it too far when she said that to Leafpool. Leafpool's already suffered enough, and the only reason Hollyleaf allowed Leafpool to live is because she'd go through more pain while she was alive. Still, even though Hollyleaf's actions were pretty disgusting, this was a very intense scene and I still enjoy this book, even now. Hollyleaf may have done unforgivable things, but she worked very hard to earn that forgiveness, and in the end, sacrificed her life to save her Clanmate. Hollyleaf's a good girl. I like her, and she's one of the most interesting characters in the series, imo.
