The Past



Silver- was a very highly respected warrior. Still, though she was loved she wasn't what she seemed. Inside she was a cruel conniving molly who wished to take full control of Glenclan and change it. So she started having kits to carry on her legacy, to "fix" Glenclan. She would pick what she thought the strongest males where and convince them to be her surrogate and then have a litter. The first litter she had was all stillborns, and that continued onto the next litter. This continual cycle made Silver- grow even more cruel and furious. Finally, she another tom, and had her last litter, her last chance. All where stillborn except for one. Silver- believed the tom was a sign, and she chose him to be the one to carry on his plants. His name was Houndkit in hopes he'd be as strong as the animal.



As a kit Houndkit's mother didn't hide her cruelness. She snapped at him, and made him feel horrible for the things he liked. The only solace he had was two toms, his cousin Foxkit, and his half brother, Barkkit. He stuck to the two toms and saw them as a way to escape from his mother. Things only grew worse when he became an apprentice. Houndpaw was apprentices to Myrtleleaf herself, something his mother set up for him. After moons of being terrified of his mother, it all peaked when she took him to the forest and told him her plan. She told him when he was old enough he was too go to Myrtleleaf's den and kill her, then kill all the other family leaders leaving him the sole leader of Glenclan and with full power. Houndpaw was terrified, and in that moment was blinded by fear and rage, and killed her. It was quick, before Houndpaw could blink his mother sank to the floor. Houndpaw was horrified at what he'd done. He quickly washed the body of his scent, dragging it away to make it seem as though a rogue killed his mother the next day and sneaked back into camp at midnight.



Houndpaw thought it'd be over, he was free right? His own anxiety eats him up inside, and is more reserved then ever, it seems his mothers damage has already been done, even if she wasn't around anymore to see it.
