They laughed
They mocked
They sneered at my name
At my face
At my heart
What was wrong with me?
Even my own littermates hated me
Why?
What had I done wrong?
I was right to leave my house
I was right to leave my old life behind
Life is much tougher this way
And I like it
These cats respect me
They guard me
They feed me
They protect me
I feel power in my paws
Like I could rule over everything
Then, these cats walk in
Forest stench clings to their pelt like burrs
I recognize Boulder
Traitor!
But the dark tabby seems familiar
They want me to fight
They offer me power over the forest
I like this, so I accept
But the battle was a failure!
I lost
All my pride was gone
I was killed
What had I done?
-Scourge
