Lightning's Past
Prologue
"Lightning!" Hoyce called. Lightning opened an eye. "What have I told you about disturbing me?" Lightning hissed. Hoyce stepped back. "Sorry. Shadow is here to see you..." he meowed. Lightning got to his feet. He shook his fur. In the moonlight his lightning shaped stripes looked like moon beams. His collar of teeth looked like a bloody necklace around his neck. He jumped off the dumpster and padded towards the Hoyce. Lightning narrowed his ice blue eyes at the black and white tom. "Are you still here? Get going Hoyce!" Lightning spat.
Shadow padded into the alley way. "Hi Lightning." Shadow mewed. He dipped his head respectfully. Lightning glared at Shadow. "What was so important that you had to disturb me?" he growled. Shadow shifted his paws. "This cat named Stone wants to join." Lightning looked Shadow up and down. "Send him to me." He snarled.
Stone padded into the alley, his amber eyes shining. "So you're Lightning." he meowed. Lightning fluffed out his fur. "I am. If you want to join, "he growled getting straight to the point." you have to show you are worthy." Stone nodded. "So I've heard." More cats began to appear over the walls anticipating the task. "You will have to fight me." Lightning snarled. It got silent. Deadly silent.
Stone sprang his grey fur sticking out. Lightning ducked, and began to unleash a flurry of swipes. Stone could barely defend himself. By the end of the fight, Stone was a lump on the floor. And I thought this would be a challenge.
"Okay. I surrender." Stone growled, his long gray fur turning red rapidly. Lightning hissed, and dug his reinforced claws into Stone's throat. Then he quickly ripped his claws out. Stone's eyes widened and he choked as blood spurted out of the hole in his throat. Huh. More blood on my collar. It's turning redder than ever.
Stone died yowling in agony, a fierce light in his eyes. Pity I had to kill you. You wouldn't be helpful anyway. I saw you with our enemy group.
Lightning gave a satisfied look at Stone's dead body. Lightning opened his dead enemy's mouth, and ripped out two teeth. He stuck them in his bloody red collar. "Hoyce come here." Lightning hissed.
Hoyce approached timidly. Lightning swiped his claws across Hoyce's face. "That's for waking me up." He snarled. Hoyce sank to the ground whimpering in pain. "I-I won't do it again, sir."
Lightning flicked his tail, and three cats quickly approached him. "Hope, get rid of this body. Glass, Violet, go hunt." He growled. Lightning settled upon a dumpster, as his cats worked busily around him. Ahh. It's good to be king. Scourge always taught me bigger is better. I bet now he's there, looking down at me thinking, "Look at Lightning! He is now leader of BloodClan just like me. Soon, I'm sure he'll take over the forest."
Lightning agreed. Those pathetic forest cats and their stupid StarClan and traditions. He spat. They would pay soon enough for killing the only cat who cared for him. I will avenge you, Scourge. No matter if it causes my own death.
