I have returned! WARRIORS by the Erin Hunters does not belong to me. Thank you! You probably all hate me now, for making Scourge an inner softie.

Now, onto the chapter!


Back at camp, Cinderpelt lay in the shade of the leaders rock. Scourge was dead. Shaking her head she started to groom herself.

"What are you doing here?!" she hissed at him. The eboney tom shuffled his feet, "I came to apologize, for uh, attacking you?" She rolled her eyes. "You came to apologize." she said flatly, "Seriously, Scourge." The black tom's ears perked up, "You remembered my name!" "Well its kinda hard not to when its hissed in your ear, and theres claws in your face," Cinderpaw meowed flatly. "Oh. Sorry," he said sheepishly.

No. She could not think of him.

"So what are you doing here this late?" Cinderpaw asked. The tom looked at her, "I could ask the same." Silence for a moment. "YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T COME HERE!" she practicly screeched, and Scourge flinched, "The're looking for you!" He sighed. "I know." Silence. Scourge jumped off the fence, landing beside her, "I'm sorry. But I had to..." Cinderpaw sighed. "No I'm sorry. I shoulden't of yelled," she said tieredly, "Its just... I worry about you, okay?!" She lay down with her paws over her muzzle sobbing, "I-if the-y find you, t-they- an-d your plans! W-what i-if the-y find y-ou?!" Sourge layed down beside her. "Cinderpaw list-" "NO! You listen! I-I can't imagine what they'll do to you! Don't go through with it!" "Cinderpaw..." "They'll k-ki-kill you!" she finally choked out. "Okay. We'll see." he said. Scourge licked her cheek, "I love you." Cinderpaw buried her muzzle in his side. "I love you to."

He was dead. He loved her. He had done it for them, so they could live together in peace. But Firestar killed him. Bloodclan and Clan cats were killed, it was kill or be killed. Why was the warrior code so strict?
