The huge spotted black-and-white tabby stalked past the twoleg rubbish. He sniffed. Then leaped, catching a creature half his size in his claws and tearing away at its flesh. But it was not prey. Beneath his claws was a golden tabby kit with black stripes. "Foxdung!" He snarled. The kit squirmed beneath him, then with amazing effort flung himself away from the tom.

"You defy me? Well then fend for your own. For now, I no longer know you." The tom gazed at the kit, then stalked on. The kit sat down and began grooming the blood from his fur. More of a joy than a sorrow for him to be gone.

I was awakened by shreiks of agony. Pushing myself to my paws, I saw Rip and Midnight messing with Foxdung. Rip tore chunks of skin from her underbelly, blood flowing around their paws and soaking Foxdung's fur. Blue was staring on in horror. Talon was sitting a little ways off, amusement in his eyes. Knife was no where to be found, but it didn't bother me.

I strode over to Blue. "Go hunt for me while Rip is busy." I commanded. Blue's eyes widened, and she nodded. I watched her quickly limp out of the clearing as fast as her two legs could go. Finally Rip and Midnight left Foxdung to lay in the dirt, and they padded off to join Talon without so much as a hello to me.

Foxdung struggled to sit upright as I padded toward her. Her eyes stared into mine, the same expression on her face that she had when she was pulling me up from the gorge. She would never feel the same, but at least she obeyed. Suddenly a silky voice sounded behind me. "Leopard, I thought I might find you here. I gave up BloodClan. But I'm still- the most powerful cat."

I spun to face a small ginger she-cat, her claws reinforced with dog teeth, her tail spiked and her fur around her paws red. I crouched in fear. "Teshika! Queen of Cats!" Teshika nodded.

The young golden tabby tom looked around warily. He heard cats speaking. "Knife. Greetings. You said you wanted to meet here?"

"Yes. Midnight, Talon, Swallow, Sand, Fang and Lightning. We'll become Rogue Gang and be the most powerful cats on the planet!" The cat looked around, then padded toward the voices. Seven cats were seated by a trash heap.

"H-hello." He mewed. The silver tom with white and gray patches padded toward him, and the tom's fur bristled.

"Yes it's me." Teshika meowed. She swished her spikey tail in my face. "I heard you were sheltering around here. Thought you might want some more torturing ideas. Somecat- a dark brown tabby. Called himself Tigerstar. You know him?" I shook my head. Teshika grunted. "Where's Knife?"

I shrugged. "He was gone when I woke up." I got to my paws. "I can show you where Foxdung is. Blue is out hunting."

"Works for me." Teshika padded to Foxdung's nest. She was laying there uncomfortably on the dung. Teshika sat down beside her. I watched as Foxdung's eyes widened. She stared at Teshika in terror, and the ginger she-cat slid out her claws, making the dog teeth stick out about a mouselength from her paws.

The golden tabby tom leaped down into the clearing, sinking his claws into the brown tabby's pelt. "Kill him!"

"Choke him to death!" A silver tom screeched. He shoved a rope toward the tabby. The golden tom slipped it around the tabby's neck. The tabby struggled, but he was no match for the two cats surrounding him. "You plotted with Bramble!"

The tabby shook his head, but the golden tom slipped it around his neck and pulled the noose tight. The tabby gasped for air, clawing nothing, but couldn't do a thing. A small ginger she-cat stared on, horror sparkling in his eyes.

I watched Foxdung get tortured by Teshika. She dug claws into the inside of her back leg, and pulled them down to her tail. Foxdung let out a screech, and Teshika bit into her ear. I wasn't feeling the urge to attack her though. Suddenly, in my mind, I heard the tortured scream of Knife. I stopped, wondering where Knife was.
