Chapter 25
Tyco laid curled up on one of the Twoleg couches and watched as the cats slowly began to move closer to the foxes. He heard footsteps and turned to see Claw come pad up to him. He laid next to him and watched as the foxes and cats sniffed at each other.
Claw snorted. "Still can't believe this happened!"
"What? That your allying with foxes?" Tyco turned to him with an amused expression. Claw glared at him before replying.
"No, that while we were gone, Death attacked and chased BloodClan out of its own camp. Even some of its own warriors betrayed BloodClan!"
Tyco tilted his head and thought. "That's true, why is Death trying so desperately to destroy BloodClan? Her father is the leader."
"It's not BloodClan she wants to destroy, its Angel."
"Why?"
"Angel was always the favorite. She reminded Scourge of himself in a way. She was the runt of the litter like him and her blue eyes are just like him, when she's angry they become cold like ice and she can be so cruel and heartless. Scourge wanted a tom to lead, and so the females would be treated like normal clanmates, but Angel, because she resembled Scourge so much was treated better than her siblings. Kill adored his sister so much he wasn't bothered that she was treated better. Death, though, loathed that she was treated different, like an outcaste and tried to get rid of her." Claw tilted his head in thought before continuing. "I remember the day, three days after the kits were born, Scourge came to my den and requested that I train one of his kits. I would never agree to such things normally, I considered that all cats for themselves, but since it Scourge I agreed. Me being one of the most dangerous cats I figured Scourge wanted me to train the future leader. But I was surprise when he said I was to train the runt. I felt very insulted, or at least I did until I saw the she-cat. She was play fighting with Kill, he was being gentle. Then Death was crawling toward them and neither was paying attention. I noticed and decided to see what my future apprentice could do. Death leaped and attacked Angel, Kill yowled in shock and tried to help his little sister and manage to pull the kit off his sister. Angel's snow white pelt had a bit of blood coming off, I was about to tell Scourge that she would be a waste of my time, then I saw the look in her eyes."
He looked at the sky, a look that showed he was remembering something. "Her eyes held anger, complete and utter hatred toward her younger sister, rage that a kit so young like her shouldn't know exist yet, but it was clear on her face. It shock me. I turned to Scourge and saw he was watching his daughter silently, when he finally met my gaze I simply nodded. He dipped his head and picked his snowy daughter up and carried her to hid den that he shared with Stream. After that I watch her grow, Kill became an overprotective brother and Death became overly jealous of her sister. Angel though, she became a sweet cat, her anger hardly ever showed, she never fought back when attacked and so Kill and two other young toms that were always with him would fight off the attackers. I don't think she knows it, but she could easily get any cat to fight her battles, her beauty and the way her eyes held fear made any tom help her. But when she did get angry no one stood in her way, she could make even forest cats cower." He snickered at the last bit.
Claw quietly got to his paws and stretched, turning to Tyco he meowed. "Want to go hunt?"
Tyco yawned and stood, stretching himself as well. "Sure," Then he gave Claw mischievous look. "Bet I can catch more prey than you."
Claw growled playfully. "In your dreams kit!" Then he shot off toward the entrant to the abandoned Twoleg home. Tyco let out a meow of laughter and ran after him, yowling. "Hey that's cheating!"
