Holly moaned softly, her eyelids felt extremely heavy. Her ears twitched briefly before she forced her eyes open. Her surroundings were similar to the previous building. Only different - her family wasn't there with her. The only scents she could find were her own, as well as Brick and Bone's, which she found no pleasure in at all. As she tried to push herself up into a sitting position, her muscles screamed in protest. She flopped down and realized that her whole body ached. Her nose scrunched up when she saw how untidy her pelt was. By that time, she wanted to do a thorough grooming of herself, but she knew her aching body wouldn't allow it. Holly stiffened instantly when she heard the voice of the one cat she dreaded. "You try a stunt like that again and you won't be brought back alive."

She turned her head the best she could to look over at Scourge. He sat in the far corner of the small area. How had she not picked up his scent or at least felt his presence? She let a faint growl rise in her throat as he stood and padded towards her. Her tail tip twitched when he stopped only a fox length away. He smirked, watching as her claws scraped the ground briefly. "What do you want?" There was an edge to her voice as she glared daggers at him. "A nice plump mouse would be nice." She hissed sharply. "Calm yourself, you are to stay here. And your control over your claws could use some work as well. I'm willing to help." Scourge sat down and curled his tail around his paws. "I don't care if you say I have to stay here. I don't think I can stand being here a moment longer! Also, have you ever thought about why I don't use my claws? I've never had control, and I probably never will. I deny to receive any sort of help from you." She began to groom her paws, keeping an eye on him as she did so. "Whether you want help or not, you will get it. I have my ways of getting things into cats' heads." He paused a moment before continuing. "You'll stay here for now, and your family will stay where they are, as well." Scourge let out a sharp hiss before padding past her and out of the building. Once she knew he was gone, Holly began to cry softly. It was all her fault, because of her choices, her family was now in danger. She curled herself into a ball the best she could without being in too much pain and fell into an unsteady sleep.

Blue was sitting in the entrance to the old two-leg building as Rose sat down just behind him. He glanced back at her briefly as he spoke, "Where's Holly?" Rose opened her mouth to respond but was interrupted by Lilac before she could. "W-we're not s-sure." Lilac's voice shook as she cried softly. Green was next to her, and he licked her between the ears to try and comfort her. Rose sighed and finally spoke. "We saw Bone and Brick carry her past. She seemed to be unconscious, but I couldn't move close enough to get a good look at her." Rose's voice was barely a whisper, and Blue's ears drooped sadly. "I'll ask Scourge about it when I get the chance." Rose gave a small nod and licked Bue's shoulder quickly before going over to Lilac and Green.

"Sir, is it smart to leave her without a guard? Or at least leave a spy to keep an eye on her?" Bone tilted his head ever so slightly. "Don't question my actions." He paused to hiss at Bone before continuing. "She knows what will happen if she disobeys me." Bone dipped his head as he opened his mouth to speak. "Well, she already knew that before, didn't she?" Scourge answered him with a swipe to his cheek. Bone had to force himself not to growl at Scourge as he watched his leader turn and pad away.

When Holly woke, it was well past sunrise. She attempted to sit up and was happy when she found her body let her. Although her muscles were still sore, it wasn't so bad that she couldn't move. She yawned as she arched her back in a long over-due stretch. She stretched her back until her legs trembled, and she was able to relax once again. Her tail curled slightly as she padded over into one of the dark corners and sat down. Holly forced herself to stay silent as Scourge padded into the building. She narrowed her eyes as he lay a bird on the ground. She couldn't help the low growl that began to rumble in her throat. "Aw, why so mean?" Scourge laughed softly. What, he just laughed?! Holly stopped growling, surprised. She glanced down at the bird and could see his claws glinting eerily in the dim light. Holly shook her head to clear her thoughts and glared at Scourge from her spot in the shadows. "Why can't I be with Green?" She moved from shadow to shadow along the wall cautiously. "I think he helps too much with keeping you calm. I can't have him interfering with getting you to use your claws to their full extent." His voice had an edge to it that one couldn't miss, even if you tried.

Holly hesitantly padded out of the shadows, her cheek bleeding again. She had scraped it against the wall. The blood from the wound turned her white pelt dark red, making Scourge take a small step back. She froze for a split second before turning and hurrying into the dark shadows, quickly cleaning the blood off the best she could. The blood tasted of iron and was slightly bitter. "Don't hide, there's no reason to. You're here alone, so there's no one to hide from." Scourge looked over at her silhouette as he spoke. "Maybe not, but you're here." Holly padded out of the shadows about half way. He just shrugged and flicked his ear. "Oh well." He turned and left Holly alone. She padded over to the bird and ate it quickly before going over to a spot on the floor that was bathed in sunlight, and then laid down.
