Chapter 0
A small black kitten ran through the dead bodies of her clanmates. All of them. All of them slain in the battle that just took place. She ran as fast as she could. Trying to find the small black cat that she called father.
The kitten soon came across a large black and white tom.
"Bone!" she cried. Even though he was rough and mean to most cats, Bone had been a friend and like a second father to her.
After a few minutes of mourning, the kit continued her search. She walked now; as the carcasses were coming closer together. All of them were pooled in their own blood. The kitten jumped over the pools, trying not to get her sleek, black fur wet with the sticky, red liquid.
Finally, lying under a big oak tree, the kitten found the cat she was looking for.
"No!" the kitten cried as she ran up to the small, black cat, pooled in his blood. "Daddy! Wake up! Please, don't sleep!"
"He won't wake, rat! Scourge is dead!"
The kit spun around to see a dark gray tom leering over her.
"Wh-who are you?" she mewled.
"My name, you rat, is Scarab." The tom meowed proudly.
Three of the other cats that survived the battle went to back Scarab up. Others flanked the kit.
"Out of my way! All of you! Scourge will pay for sending our mates and kits to their deaths with the loss of his daughter!" Scarab yowled at the four cats that flanked the kit.
"No!" yowled a white she-cat. "Scourge will seek revenge! Well, he'd seek revenge on you. Not on us."
While the cats continued to snarl and argue, the kitten sneaked off under one of the roots of a tree. On her way, she found a small collar studded with dog's and cat's fangs. She slipped it over her head. It fit perfectly. Then, she found another so small, it fit her tail. When she had both the collars on, she heard a voice in the back of her head.
"You must kill Scarab."
"Why, Daddy?"
"He was always a distrustful nuisance who deserves to die. Demand respect from your followers. And if they don't give it willingly, take it by force!"
"But, what will happen after I kill Scarab?"
"The survivors will most likely make you leader. And when you are fighting him, remember this for all battles. Do Not Pan-"
But the rest of her father's words were lost as Scarab pulled her out of the hole by the tail. He had the end of it, and put his paw on the middle to keep the kit from running. But he got a pawfull of pain instead. While the tom was distracted by the pain in his paw, Scourge's daughter smacked her tail into his eye, the fangs blinding him. Then clawed his other eye out.
Now blind, Scarab charged at a tree, hoping it was the kit.
"Hey, fool! I'm right behind you!" called the kit.
Scarab swung around, only to get the kits claws in his throat. A shudder ran through his body as he died.
Several gasps filled the air.
"What will you have us do now, Leader?" asked a gray tom.
Before she could answer, the white she-cat who had defended her asked, "What is your name, Leader?"
Don't pan… Pandora! The kit thought before answering, "Pandora! Daughter of Scourge and Leader of BloodClan!"
