Chapter Eight

Fire woke up and looked around with a yawn. Catching sight of Smudge he saw that he was still asleep so he stood up and raised his paw prodding him roughly in the side. "Time to wake up," he growled before heading out into the alley without waiting to see if Smudge was following.

"What are we about to do?" Smudge asked looking at all the cats.

"We're going to learn how to kill, once we kill another cat we earn our dog teeth collars," Fire told him leading him through twoleg place until they saw Scourge. Then they came to a stopband dipped their heads. "We have come," Fire meowed looking around.

"Good now I'll show you how to kill and then you'll have until sundown to kill a cat and bring it to me," Scourge growled.

Fire nodded and watched as Scourge ran off and returned with a small pale gray tom that bore a few scars.

"This cat is whats left of a group of rogues that attacked us," Scourge growled and bit into the toms throat. "Biting it's throat is one way to kill a cat, another way to kill is this way," Scourge growled glaring down at the tom that was barely alive and slashed him across the throat killing him.

"Let's go," Fire meowed bounding away glancing over his shoulder and saw Smudge run off in the opposite back around he saw a small cat being threatened by a dark gray tom. Snarling he came up behind the tom and lunged towards him slamming into him sending him tumbling to the ground. Before the tom could get to his paws he pinned him down placing a paw on his throat. "Your a coward for trying to kill a cat half your size, and cowards don't deserve to leave," he snarled raising his paw off his throat unshealthing his claws before bringing his paw down onto his throat killing him. Then he grabbed the body of the tom and ran off leaving the kit. Soon he got to the spot where he was suppose to be meeting Scourge and let the toms body fall to the ground. A few minutes passed and Scourge returned dragging the body of a brown tabby she-cat. He noticed that Smudge bore a few scratches, but didn't comment as Scourge showed up.

"You two did good, since you both already have collars all you need to do is rip a tooth out of the cats you killed and put it through your collar," Scourge meowed.

"Okay," Fire meowed and ripped a tooth out of the toms mouth and put it through the his collar out of the corner of his eye he saw Smudge doing the same with a tooth he had pried out of the she-cats mouth.

"Will we learn more fighting moves, besides the one you showed us," Smudge asked glancing at Fire.

"Yes," Scourge meowed bluntly.

"When," Smudge asked Curiously.

"When I say so," Scourge snapped and stalked off.
