Tooth One began as I walked over towards the thunderpath. The path smelled of cars, but the last car to come past here was yesterday. I crossed the path halfway, walking until I found Snakerocks. I walked into Snakerocks, not caring if Kittypetstar sees me in his territory. Everything was going fine until I felt an adder bite my tail. It held on tightly, and I dragged it to the edge of Snakerocks. Then, it let go, and it did the unexpected. It talked to me.
"Hey! Why did you drag me all that way? It hurt my skin!" The adder said.
Probably the adder poison. I thought.
"Well, you grabbed onto me!" I snapped back.
"You are like all the other cats around here. All they do is attack my kind when we attack. It's only for defense. Don't they know that we're only defending ourselves?"
The adder's words were touching. I, at the time, showed no emotion about it. Eventually I responded, "Any cat that attacks for fun has no respect for your kind. They think they rule, but it's twolegs that truly do."
"You're right about that. Twolegs only care about themselves and destroying everything for no reason. My name's Fang, by the way. What's yours?"
"Scourge. I used to be leader of a clan, but I lost it."
"I could help you find it."
"Not like that. All my clanmates have scattered after the battle I had. I haven't seen them since."
After that, me and Fang became good friends. It was sunhigh, and Fang showed me the Carrionplace nearby where Kittypetstar used to live. Right near a nest where there was lots of chicken and turkey being given away to twolegs for useless green paper. The chicken was excellent. Moonhigh had once again come, and Fang had gone to Twolegplace. The same one that kittypet leader once lived. However, a fence kept me from doing so as well. One with a hole in it. I looked around. I heard a jingling sound. There was a bell from some kittypet. Probably got killed, since there was dried blood on the bell. The bell faintly smelled of kittypet. Then I realized:The kittypet was me! I saw Tigerstar behind me, even though he wasn't there. I jumped over the fence, the same one that led me to who I was. Scourge, the leader of no clan. My back claws lost their long length, and I tripped. I blacked out for a moment, probably the same thing Kittypetstar did when I thought I killed him!
You're not a clan leader anymore. You're no one. I heard a voice say. Now, you must return to your home. Your old one.
I woke up and I looked at the hole. Nearby, the first tooth had disappeared. I wasn't a leader of any clan. Not anymore. The bell was in my reach. I grabbed it with my claws, over to the border of Twolegplace. I saw the hole in the fence. Then, I dug a hole under the hole in the fence, burying the bell and the first tooth. My first life was gone, in under a moon.
