The Daughter of Scourge

by ValkyrieCain4Ever

Fallen Angel. Daughter of Scourge. Heir of Bloodclan. Is gone. Taken by Scourge's sister, who had become angry that her brother didn't help her when she needed help, has decided to take it out on his daughter. The problem is, Fallen was so young that she doesn't remember her past life. Will she be able to break way and remember who she is? Or will Ruby win.

25. Chapter 24

Once he had sent Fallen away that morning on a patrol, Scourge went over to his Deputy, Bone.

"Bone," he said, approaching the broad-shouldered tom.

Bone stood up and dipped his head, "Scourge," he greeted. "What do you need?"

"I need to talk to you."

Bone nodded, "Of course."

They walked out of the Bloodclan camp together and turned left, towards Dog Alley and the Junkyard. Bone stayed quiet, knowing to let his leader speak first. Scourge didn't say anything until they had turned the corner and the camp entrance was lost from sight.

"I wanted to talk to you about the heir," Scourge finally said.

Bone looked at him, "You've found one?"

"Yes."

"If I may ask, who?"

Scourge hesitated; he had already told Bone about Fallen's return. Bone had agreed but the Bloodclan leader knew he doubted it slightly, he couldn't blame him though. It did sound crazy if you looked at it from a different perspective. He himself had begun to doubt it for a second when Fallen had told him of her past. But then he had noticed her behavior as she told him, like she was trying to hide something. She had been lying.

Scourge could tell she wasn't comfortable with lying to him, he couldn't blame her. Say the wrong thing, he'd kill them. Do the wrong thing, he'd kill them. It was cruel and vicious but effective. And he liked being cruel and vicious.

"Fallen Angel," Scourge finally said.

Bone stiffened slightly, "Scourge," he said slowly. "Are you sure that it's really Fallen? How can you be so sure?"

Scourge tensed, "I am sure."

"But how can you be s-"

"YOU AREN'T HER FATHER!" Scourge stopped and whirled on Bone fire and ice in his eyes, teeth bared in a snarl. He took a long, shaky breath trying to control his temper. "You didn't know her like I did," his voice had turned low and cold. "You wouldn't be able to tell if was her like I can."

Bone had gone into a submissive position during Scourge's outburst and slowly straightened back up when he saw the smaller cat's anger begin to fade. "Yes Scourge," he said dipping his head respectfully. "If she is to going to be your heir then she will be."

"Good," Scourge said and resumed walking. "I will tell the clan later. And when her training is complete she will lead Bloodclan alongside me."
