Green finally jumped down from the tree and raced back home. He found the girls asleep in one of the nests, but saw no sign of Blue. There wasn't even a fresh scent from that morning. Green tossed a small rock that hit Rose on the head. She jumped up so fast that Green took a step back. Rose looked over at Green before finally calming down and waking Lilac up. "Have either of you seen Blue?" Green asked them hopefully. The two sisters looked at each other before shaking their heads. Green's shoulders slumped, and his tail drooped. He thought of one place he could be.
"Ow!" Holly yelped as she felt something sharp making its way into her tail. She looked behind her to find Bone digging his claw into her tail. Holly had been lulled asleep to Blue's scent. She guessed that the guards switched while she was asleep. "Morning 'Princess'," Bone snickered as he sheathed his claws and turned away from her to sit in the entrance. Holly hissed sharply at him. He glanced back at her, a smirk smeared on his face. "Don't worry 'Princess' you won't be lonely for too much longer." Bone paused before continuing, "Scourge will be sending for your family soon enough." He chuckled at her look of shock. Holly slowly crawled into the corner, where she crouched trembling. At the moment, none of the shadows reached into the corner, so she was in full view of Bone, who just sat there at the entrance with his 'famous' smirk on his face.
"Brick, take Bone and Blue to get the rest of her family. She deserves a little 'reunion.' Also, while you're away, I'll take care of her myself." Scourge flicked his tail signaling for Brick to leave his presence. Scourge slowly got up and stretched before padding away from his usual spot under the dumpster.
Holly watched as Brick, Blue, and Bone raced by. No one was there to block the entrance, so she stuck her head out and watched them until they were out of view. Suddenly a unwelcome scent hit her nose. She whipped around and ran back into the shadows, crouching down low.
Scourge padded into the building. "Come on out," he said looking into the shadows. "No," Holly hissed. "Then, may I ask your name?" Scourge queried. "Holly," she said, padding along the wall in the shadows. "Well, Holly, did you see the three cats that passed by?" He paused before continuing. "They went to get the rest of your family," Scourge hissed. Holly froze for a moment, then responded, "But I don't understand. You said if I said 'no' to joining the Bloodclan, then you'd hurt them. So, I'm here, aren't I?" Holly growled. She padded out of the shadows, her tail lashing, ears back, and teeth bared. Scourge noticed her lack of claws and decided to clarify his intentions, stating "To survive, you must use your claws. I want your family just in case you need to be motivated." Scourge snickered. Holly unsheathed her claws and lashed at him. He dodged and, with one paw, flipped her against the wall. His claws were sheathed, which was rare. He padded to the entrance and sat there guarding her. She lay there stunned and weak.
As Green and the girls were sharing two mice, Blue padded up . "Blue!" Lilac yelled as she raced over to him. Rose and Green got up more slowly. "Nice to see you back safe and sound," Green said, nudging his cheek. "What's wrong Blue?" Rose asked, sensing the guilt radiating off him. Blue opened his mouth to speak but was cut off. "Blue, you don't need to answer her," Brick said as he padded out of the bushes with Bone at his side. Lilac took a couple steps back. Rose whipped around and raced into the trees, Brick shot after her without a word. Blue slowly went up to Lilac, while Bone approached Green, who hissed and swiped at Bone. Brick came back moments later dragging Rose with her tail pinched in his jaws. Blue and Bone did the same with Lilac and Green as all three cats headed back through the bushes with the rest of Holly's family.
Sorry it's like a really short chapter. :/ Also just a small note, I won't be posting the next chapter until I find my binder with the story in it.
