Summary: Past wrongs will be righted…and Blood will rule the forest…
We all know how the story went when little Tiny ventured into the forest and ran into Tigerpaw…and we know that from that experience, Scourge was born. What if it wasn't the Twolegplace he ran to…but ShadowClan? What if being taken in wasn't enough to sate the desire for revenge and the lust for blood?
So begins a reign of terror beyond even the likes of Brokenstar's time…
Disclaimer: I don't own Warriors. The idea just came to me. :P
(Pretty long) Author's Note: If anything strikes you guys as being wrong in the allegiances, I'm sorry. D: I'm trying to figure out the timeline of Yellowfang's Secret and where it fits in with the other super editions AND Scourge's story, so I can keep things straight. _
Also, I have Yellowfang's Secret, and nowhere are the exact mentors for Blackstar, Flintfang or Fernshade listed, so I've done the best I can with what info I have.
I may have listed them as apprentices too early, as the timeline on the Warriors wiki says Tiny ventures into the forest during winter, but there's a time jump to summer – about the beginning of fall, actually – after Yellowfang agrees to stay mates with Raggedpelt while being a medicine cat. That is a time jump of about seven or eight months. So yes, I'm probably jumping the gun a little.
I'm aware I haven't listed any queens for ShadowClan, as I can't find any mention of specific mothers or kits before or after Raggedpelt is made deputy – aside from Lizardstripe and Nettlespot. Cloudpaw is Raggedpelt's apprentice by then, so Nettlespot returns to warrior duties; and Lizardstripe isn't mentioned as being pregnant until after we learn Yellowfang is. I could be wrong, but I've been nitpicking at this for a while; going through the books again and again, scratching out what I know are inconsistencies and double- and triple-checking family trees. Frankly, I'd like to get to the actual story now. XD
Now, this story's going to be following three different timelines all at once, to start; Bluestar's Prophecy, Crookedstar's Promise, and Yellowfang's Secret. I'm not going to try to cut to the other Clans – this story's focus is on Scourge. But I will take a bit longer to update it while I check events and facts and family trees. After I finish that storyline, it's likely I'll continue on up through The Darkest Hour.
TL; DR: I'm not sure what the hell I'm doing. Some things may be wrong and probably are. I'm starting yet another fanfic without finishing my other ones. I'm an ass. Let's get started!
