Sunlight perched though Bloodclan, as it shined on Scourge's pelt, he looked down at his wonderful clan.
'I would never change this glory for the world! Or, would I?' Scourge thought curiously, he had these strange thoughts and dreams, and the latest dream was luring him into the forest. The same forest where he had been attacked and nearly killed by his greatest enemy, Tigerpaw. Well, Tigerclaw now so he heard.
So to take things off his mind, Scourge walked over to the fresh-kill pile, which to his surprise, nothing was there.
"Bone! where has all the fresh-kill gone?!" Scourge boomed, while all of stared at him with horror. Suddenly, many rats came scattering from all places and started to attack the cats at once. Scourge looked around for the leader of the swarm of rats, but couldn't tell the difference between them as they were all so alike. Four, big rats came charging at the leader of Bloodclan and Scourge pinned them down, and each took and deep wound at the throat, splitting them open, killing them instantly. Scourge quickly looked around, and saw all his clanmates were winning this battle. Good, i can't afford to lose anymore warriors.
Then he heard a shriek from the nursery, meaning only one thing. The leader raced into the den and saw that little blood (a kit) was dead. He fought off the remaining rats in the den, and moved little blood to a higher place so that he didn't get eaten. Finally, he found the leader of the rats and jumped on him, and ripped him to pieces.
The rest of the scrounger rats called back, and ran off back where they came from, never to return for a long time yet. Once they left, Scourge called all his warriors, and queens for a meeting.
"All cats able to fight and hunt gather around the blood room for a meeting!" all the cats come strolling with pride along to the Blood rock, which wasn't a rock, but an big empty bin. "Now I have to say we defeated the rats greatly, but it was at cost. A death has come to bloodclan today, and little blood was killed when the rats attacked the nursery, but i didn't get there quick enough. Instead I killed the leader of the rats. Now I need three patrols out this morning, two for hunting and another for border patrol, Bone will take the border patrol, and brick will lead one hunting patrol, the other I will lead myself."
Bone took 3 other warriors with him, while Scourge's and Brick's patrol took 2, and all 3 patrol's left in separate ways. Scourge took Blood, dark and Gash with him to hunt. Gash looked around and went off and caught two fat mice, and 3 baby ones, and soon came back to the patrol with all five mice in her mouth. The three cats walked further, soon finding squirrel and a rabbit before heading back to camp. They were very successful that morning.
Brick's hunting patrol caught two voles, two rabbits and one squirrel too, leaving bloodclan with a reasonable amount of prey. Scourge then took a rabbit out of the pile to eat with Brick, they shared tongues also and Scourge went to his den to sleep, while Bone's boarder patrol came back waking him up again, explaining that a grey kittypet was looking for a black male tom, with a white paw.
'Do they mean Quince? Has she really been looking for me? I suppose I can see her again. I do hope so.' Scourge thought hopefully. Before he drifted off to sleep, he told brick to take Swift for training. Afterwards, he went to his nest and curled up perfectly.
Then he was in darkness. He looked around, finding nothing, just pitch blackness. 'Where was I? Am I dead already? I can't be, not yet. I must be dreaming, Of course!' Suddenly, a bright light flew though the sky, sending me too a place I'd never thought I would see in my life. For that mysterious place, was Starclan. I soon noticed cats with stars in their pelts started to crowd around me, while glaring an evil glare as hard as they could. I thought about it for a second, and realised something.
It's a dream. So I did something that no other cat would actually do in this situation. I laughed.
"Ha ha ha-snicker-ha ha ha ha ha! You've GOT to be kidding me right?! Do you really expect ME-snicker- of all cats to believe that I am in Starclan? ha ha ha ha ha!" Scourge laughed, but as he laughed more, he looked around to find NO OTHER CAT was laughing at all. Then, a voice spoke.
"Of course not Scourge, but you are indeed very wrong, as this IS starclan, since everycat here has died an honourable death, and if you want me to prove it too you. I can show you Raven, as she was a Bloodclan cat you knew quite well."
A black she cat with amber eyes came down face-to-face with Scourge and he stared at her with an horrifying expression. Scourge was speechless. Utterly Speechless because he had been proven wrong.
"Now do you believe Snowfur?"
