A/N, yeah please don't tell me it sucked. It's pretty much my first FF so I know I have a lot of things wrong. I tried my best though! I'll only keep getting better!...hopefully...

Chennyways, don't ask about the time frame either. I even don't know. I do know that it's after Scourge killed Tigerstar, and Scourge wants to control the forest, except Scourge gave Firestar a moon instead of three days. Also, BloodClan uses some Clan terms and they apprentice kits and stuff like that because they want to be a forest Clan. They just don't believe in StarClan. And incase I forget to tell you, Smudge acts different since Rusty/Firestar left and he didn't get fixed. If you have any more questions about the time frame, lemme know!

Please only nice things and constructive criti...criti...that one word! No flames cuz I already know it sucks! Please try to enjoy! OH! And if you have any OC cats that you want to be in BloodClan, lemme know!

Prologue

Scourge waited in his den. His den was a basement in an abandoned Twoleg home. The old owners had left the window open, and walking by one day, Scourge haddiscovered it. He had also discovered that the old Twolegs had left an old, chewed up blanket in his new den. It smelled horribly of dog, but it worked as his bed.Scourge was awakened from his thoughts by the sound of a cat jumping through the window into his den. It was none-other then his deputy, Bone. The big black-and-white cat sat at Scourge's right. The bulk of his muscles made the black cat look puny.

They sat in silence until the next cat came in. She was a slender she-cat, whom had a pale white coat and her eyes had black rims around them. She sat right next to Bone.

A tom followed her. He was almost as muscular as Bone. He had a pelt so ginger, that it looked red. He had amber eyes, and sat on Scourge's left side. He had taken that place since Boulder became a traitor.

Scourge had called this meeting at sun-high, so all of his close warriors should know about it by now, it was moon-high. He always had his meetings at moon-high, and the word would spread throughout the day.

He normally had 10 cats that came to the meetings, even though there were plenty more than 11 cats in BloodClan. Only his closest warriors came to the meetings, ones that he semi-trusted. He didn't trust any cat but Bone with his life. Expecially after Boulder and Barley's deception. They had both left to the forest recently.

Scourge was lost in his thoughts, but that happens a lot. He has a lot on his mind, it's tough being a leader of a Clan. His deputy had learned to gently rouse him out of his thoughts, so he flicked his tail so the tip of it tapped Scourge's flank.

Scourge looked up and stared around his den. The rest of his cats had assembled while his mind had wandered off. Next to the pale white cat, there was his own brother. He was black, just like him, except he didn't have a white paw.Next to the ginger tom was a light grey she-cat. She happened to be his sister.Then sitting right next to each other were a dark tabby she-cat, and a long-haired creamy white she-cat, whom was about to kit.On his brothers side was a calico tom, and next to him a silver tom.

"We shall start the meeting," Scourge wheezed, "I still need to find another cat to take Barley's place, we already have Crest to fill Boulder's place."Scourge nodded at the silver cat, Crest, whom bowed his head to Scourge.

"Thank you Leader," Crest mewed, " I am thankful to serve my Clan".

He seems pretty excited to be here, Scourge thought, how odd, cats normally seem scared instead of happy... He only realized he drifted off again because of the slight tap of a tail on his shoulder.

"What should we do about the empty place Sir?" Bone asked him, "I know a good cat to take the place. His name is-"

"Not important Bone." Scourge interupted, "I have a good idea of who I want already. He is a kittypet-" At that line Scourge recieved many gasps and murmurs from the crowd. He frowned at them, which made all of the cats return to silence.

"As I was saying, I have been watching a certain kittypet, and I believe that he can do a lot for us." Scourge mewed.

"Sir! A kittypet!? How will it be able to help us?" the she-cat with black rims around her eyes asked.

Scourge glared at her. He knew he would never hurt any of the cats that go to this meeting, but he wouldn't let them know that.

"I'm sorry Sir!" the cat caught herself quickley, "I didn't mean to interupt. I just don't get any of this!"

"Pan," Scourge answered her,"You will go get him. He lives at the forest's edge in one of those Twoleg nests. You'll know him when you see him." Pan nodded her head in understanding to her Leader.

"Also," Scourge continued, "Take Fourleg with you. He will know who it is I want.We need this kittypet. He was a close friend of the Leader of ThunderClan. I believe he will become important to us in time. Now go!"

At those words, all of the cats present bowed their heads to Scourge. First Pan and the calico cat left, then they were soon followed by the rest of the cats.

When Scourge was the only one left, he lay down on his blanket and went to sleep.

"Soon," He muttered, "BloodClan will control the forest."
