Prologue
"It's our time to shine!" Came the loud yowl of Scourge, leader of BloodClan. He jumped on top of the trashcan he lived under. Cats came to gather one by one to listen, when would this clan ever shine? They were dull because of the place they lived in, the city was shiner then them even! Scourge would only call a meeting like this if he had something good to say, so this should be good for the clan.
"Cats of BloodClan, we have lived too long in this dump, it is time to move to a new home, a better home. Or at least expend from our territory!" His cats looked up suddenly excited, their dull faces lit up. More territory? New home? How was this going to happen?
He began, his voice venomous. "An old enemy, who did not recognize me came to talk to me. He has some enemies, and he wants us to help get rid of them in exchange for some territory." Scourge took a pause to see the expressions on their faces.
The cats looked at each other, was their leader truly promising a new home, a better home? They had to fight, and not just because they feared him. Because they wanted to fight for a new home.
"There is more though. I have devised a plan that is to get us more territory, in fact take over the whole forest! Quite simple, kill all the forest cats." The BloodClan cats were now very eager, their new home was a forest? And they weren't just fighting for a small bit either now, they were fighting for all of it!
"Now, get ready, those left behind are the group that is staying here to keep an eye on the city territory!" He ordered. He jumped off and started to lead his cats to the forest.
Chapter One
Scourge was being called to the forest by his fake ally, Tigerstar. The deal was, if Scourge supplied the cats to help take over all of the forest he got his cats some more territory, better territory. But everyone knew, even Tigerstar, that after this happened Scourge would fight for all of the territory. What Tigerstar didn't think, was that Scourge and BloodClan would win.
"Hello Tigerstar." Scourge greeted.
"Greetings Scourge, are you ready?" Tigerstar asked him.
"Yes." Was Scourges simple reply. Together they walked towards the place where the clans would meet.
His cats waited in hiding, when Blackfoot gave the signal they would walk out. So they sat and waited, when finally they heard some rustling.
"Hello Tigerstar." Came the untrusting voice of a male cat, possibly the leader of the enemy clans.
"Greetings, have you decided to join us yet?" Came Tigerstar's growl.
"We will never join you, foxdung!" Came an older, more threatening voice. Perhaps he was also important? What did Scourge care, they were all dead.
"Wrong choice, TigerClan will rule the forest!" Tigerstar yowled.
"No, TigerClan won't rule, there have always been four clans, not one." Came the younger male voice.
"Oh, not anymore, by sunset the four clan shall be no more!" Tigerstar replied, and then Blackfoot waved his tail. Scourge looked at his cats nodding his head and walked out. They formed a loose circle around the enemys.
"Are you sure you still want to defy me?" Tigerstar asked, his voice dangerously silky. "Meet my new friends, they are here to make sure you join me."
Scourge looked at the cats with his icy cold eyes. "I am Scourge, leader of BloodClan"
A young male cat with a flame like pelt nodded his head in greeting. "Greetings Scourge, I am Firestar of ThunderClan." He meowed then took a deep breath and continued. "You should not trust the cat before you, whatever he has promised, he won't give you anything, if he promised you some of the forest, Tigerstar won't give you one pawstep of it."
"I was told Tigerstar had enemy's in the forest." Scourge meowed.
The young tom named Firestar looked at all the cats as if he was about to reveal a shocking secret.
"Cats of all four clans, you should not trust Tigerstar! Many of you wondered why he got exiled from ThunderClan, I will tell you why! Tigerstar is a murder!"
"Jabber away little kittypet, talk won't help you now." Came the growl from Tigerstar.
Firestar continued. "He first killed the old deputy Redtail, in hopes of becoming deputy. Tigerstar did not become deputy, instead the noble Lionheart did, but Tigerstar did not have to wait long for Lionheart was killed in battle with ShadowClan. Then after that, Tigerstar became deputy. After that Tigerstar staged a rogue attack where he tried to kill Bluestar. I stopped him in time, and then after the battle he was exiled. Tigerstar vowed to kill us all one by one. Soon after that he lead a pack of dogs to our camp to try and destroy ThunderClan." Finally the tom took a breath and look at the other cats.
"Tigerstar told us of that plan, he did not tell us it failed." Meowed Scourge in a cold unforgiving voice.
Firestar looked surprised, but he soon hid it. "After that he became leader of ShadowClan, and has now done this" Firestar finished his speech and looked at Scourge.
"Now that you have finished your little story it is time to die! BloodClan attack!" Ordered Tigerstar, but no cat moved. "I said attack!" He screeched.
"I am leader of BloodClan, Tigerstar, my cats do not attack unless I tell them to." Scourge meowed in the same icy voice.
Tigerstar gave Scourge a look of pure hatred and bunched his muscles. "TRAITOR!" He screeched and tried to pounce on Scourge.
Scourge was faster, he moved under Tigerstar and split his belly open with long claws that were reinforced with dog teeth. Tigerstar fell at his feet and withered in pain then became still. It happened eight more times until he became still forever. Finally his long time enemy was dead.
Scourge had to resist smiling, he must keep his cool in front of the ginger cats and others, but it was hard. He had finally killed him! He had killed Tigerstar, and he had won!
Scourge next turned his icy gaze to Firestar, who meowed. "I am sorry, Scourge of BloodClan, that you were lead to the forest with false promises, feel free to hunt on your way out of the forest."
Scourge laughed. "Go? You think I will go? Think again forest fool!" He spat. "In the city my cats starve because there isn't enough prey, but in here there is plenty of prey, me and my cats are taking over. You have three days to make up your mind, fight or leave peacefully." He growled. "We shall meet here in three days, tell us your answer then." With that he whirled around and stalked back into ShadowClans territory.
