Just like that Scourge had given me a new role, despite the Clan's disapproval. For the next few days, both Scourge and Bone kept me near them; and together, with various arguments between Bone and I and an amused small tom nearby, I had finally got the hang of being deputy. The cats of BloodClan, on the other paw, wanted to hang me. They sneered, scoffed, and spat at me as I walked by, but their insults never stuck. I had gotten too much of that when I was younger.
They also talked down to me, saying that I was unworthy of being close to Scourge and Bone, which I promptly countered with a glare and a claw swipe across their muzzle. There was also several attempts made on my life, but that's for another tale to tell. Afterwards, many of the warriors(or what even they call themselves) learned not to mess with me, all except the younger members. Shadow, being just a kit, watched me timidly and quietly from a distance. The siblings, Briar and Swift, stuck to me like a kit to their mother only with more annoyance and none the protection. Then there's Darkness, she's Bone's daughter and she makes her presence known all the time.
She always stated that she's following me to make sure I'm not plotting to kill her father or Scourge, but I can tell she's using that as an excuse. I began my morning uniquely today, being woken up by Swift and Briar jumping on the top of the broken bookshelf that served as my shelter.
