Chapter 2
Scourge awoke, tears running through his cheeks. He instantly shook off the tears. If they saw him like that, he would lose respect. He ran off to where his mate slept, and relaxed when he saw her safe. Safe and alive. "Rain" He whispered "Rain, wake up" Finally, the silvery she-cat glanced up "Scourge? What is it?" She responded softly "How are our kits?" He asked. Hearing these words, Rain rolled onto her side, revealing four squirming kits. Two were their mother's coat color, silver-blue. The other two were their father's black coat. "Why? They are okay, but they still need names." She looked softly at her kits "Would you like to give them names?" He looked at her mate and then decided "Yes, This one, the black female kit, will be Midnight" He pointed to a Black she-kit with white paws and chest and green eyes. "This will be Raven" He pointed to a pure black tom-kit with yellow eyes. Then he looked to the two left "This will be Jay" He said to a silver bluish she-kit with blue eyes "And Wind" He said to another silver-blue tom-kit with green eyes and a black stripe running through his spine. "Good names, sweetheart" She said approvingly. This is your current Hawk's words rang in his ears It's your current! "Rain, we need to escape." Rain looked stunned, and covered her kits with her tail "What? Why?" Fear showed in her eyes "I can't tell you now…" She unsheathed her claws "But- but tomorrow is the battle for the forest! You can't leave them!" He ignored her and padded out of the den. I need to search a leader for them, better if it can pretend to be me… He didn't want to be remembered as a coward.
He saw Bone, he was grabbing a huge rat from the prey pile."You aren't going to eat it all, are you" Red-handed, Bone looked at his leader with shame "Don't worry; I didn't come to talk about that. Do you know a cat, any cat that looks pretty much like me? Physically, of course." Bone hesitated, but then replied "Yes, do you remember the two pathetical cats that came begging for food when you were made leader?" Scourge grinned. Socks. "Thanks." Bone nodded his good-bye, and Scourge set off.
It was sunhigh now, and he kept searching for his hated brother. Then a strange scent drifted in his nostrils. Loner. After a while he saw it, it was a cream colored tabby, he was hunting a mouse, in his territory. He finally pounced on the cat and held him by his throat. He expected the cat to be scared, but it grinned. "Hey! I'll make you a question and I hope you-" "Aww, look at that little kittypet!" mousebrain. He obviously didn't know about him. Well, I'll teach him! He unsheathed his claws, making scratches on the tom's throat "Mrrow!" The tom yowled in alarm, squirming to get free "Are you going to hear me now?" He grinned as the tom nodded "Have you seen a black and white cat? Like me?" He nodded and pointed to a brown twoleg nest. He let the tom go and headed for the twoleg nest.
