thay, how else would Scourge have won? Firestar and ALL the leaders needed to die or else the clans would of e kept on fighting.
Feather, read this chapter to find out.
Soon all the clan cats were rounded up in the still bloody Four Trees.
"So you have all agreed to surrender? Good. I want all your kits, including the queens if they are nursing them." He began to hear yowls of protest, but he plowed on. "Silence you fools!" He hissed. "Either give us your kits or die! This fight has cost me and I need new cats. All kits under the age of three moons shall be mine!" The forest cats began to protest, and a fight even broke out. "Bring me the fighter." Ordered Scourge. The cat who started the fight was brought up to him. "Let this be a lesson to all!" He yowled and slit the cats throat. Sandstorm fell down dead and many cats from ThunderClan let out cries of sorrow. Why did she have to die? First Cloudtail, niece of Firestar died, and now his mate. "Also, any who want to join me step up and speak now, we shall welcome you with open paws." Scourge added, knowing his offer will be irresistible to those who have little loyalty and tend to go with the stronger force. It was obvious BloodClan was the stronger force. In the end five cats went up while there clan mates yelled insults at them. Scourge only commented, "Wise choice." One of the cats to go up was an expecting queen and as she went up a male managed to break free. "Tallpoppy, why?" "Because ShadowClan couldn't protect me and my kits!" She sobbed. "They could have died! Died in my belly, not yet born." She then went on in a stronger voice. "This clan here can protect them, and teach them to be better fighters. Besides I am sure they are only doing this to support their own clan and make sure ours aren't a threat anymore. Can't you see they are only doing this for the future of their clan?" "But what about ShadowClan, and the other clans?" Her mate argued. "Then ThunderClan should of killed Tigerstar! If they did that he would of never brought Scourge to the forest and all of the leaders would be alive." She finally screeched out. "ThunderClan was not thinking of the other clans future by letting that psycho lose in the forest. I have kits to protect and feed. I am staying with BloodClan." She finished in a calmer voice. Her mate ran forward. "I go with you, if you will still have me? Someone must hunt for you." Oakfur meowed, his eyes soft. Tallpoppy nodded, she would let her mate come with her. Scourge had gotten bored with the stupid scene below him and when he heard it come to an end he flicked his tail. "Done yet? Good, now get in line." He answered in his cold voice. The two cats then got in line with the others.
Scourge grinned down at the cats below him. "Now for the kits." While the two had talked he had sent off some of his warriors to round up the kits. They should be coming back soon with them.
A few minutes later his warriors came back, bloody, but successful. The wriggling screeching kits in there maws proved it.
"Those are mine now." Scourge meowed. Well not his personally, but they belonged to his clan now. "All kits under three moons of age are mine."
His warriors dropped three kits. "These little cats are four moons of age sir." One reported.
"Then line them up with the rest of the clan cats." Scourge snarled as if it should be obvious, which it should have been.
Nodding his warriors roughly threw them towards the other clan cats. "Now through them out." He spat.
With his order the bulk of BloodClan cats began to herd them beyond four trees, and then later they would be forced beyond mother mouth and moon stone. If cats tried to rebel, they would be immediately slaughtered. Even if all of them tried rebelling at once, Scourge made sure his cats out numbered theres'. After all of that was sorted out there were few BloodClan cats left in the forest, but enough to begin marking the new territory.
"I want all of these separate places to begin to smell like home once you guys are done! If you need me I will be at the camp we have been staying at lately! I want a messenger to go back to town and say that we have won and to bring all queens here. Wait no, strong queens, we can't have weaklings cluttering up our new add on." He growled the last part in a dark happy way. After all, BloodClan was all about strength so only the strong got the best.
A few days later all the queens were settled in what used to belong to ThunderClan and the group of cats who were escorting the clans out returend.
"Report." He demanded.
"Two rebellions, eight clan cats killed, three of ours killed." Reported a female who Scourge dimly knew.
The female was pretty, with her brown sleek pelt, spotted with black dots that had little to no pattern. Her strong muscles and non boney face showed that she was strong and able to feed herself also. That was good, his clan needed more cats like that.
As she turned to leave he couldn't help but blurt out, "Your name is Saturn right?" She turned back to him looking some what shocked and stuttered. "Y yes sir, my name is Saturn."
He nodded, and then saw that she was somewhat confused on what to do now. Did
he want to talk and have more detail on the report? Or was she supposed to leave? "Good job Saturn, dismissed." He finally meowed.
Her face lit up at the complement and she bowed her head one last time before
leaving.
"I must go back to the city for a short time." Scourge told Bone a day after the group of cats escorting the clans out had returned. "The forest still has plenty of room for many more cats. I will now have all but a few queens moves in here, we must let the others know that the city it still owned by us. Most of the strong warriors will live here too. With more cats out of the city and in the woods it will leave more prey for the weaker ones so they will be happier." With that he left.
Scourge quickly arrived on the old border his territory and was met by a patrol. "Hail Scourge! All mighty ruler of BloodClan!" Came the greeting from the patrol leader.
All mighty ruler? That was a first, but he liked it. "I want to call a meeting, gather as many cats as you can." Was all Scourge said.
Once a good chunk of the cats left in the city had been gathered he would start the meeting. As more cats began to gather, he saw some looked a bit healthier and happier, as if they were eating better. They probably were since more cats were in the forest. Soon the cats had gathered.
"My clan, I have returned here victorious! We have won the forest and still have room for more cats!" He began. His clan cheered at the good news. Scourge continued in a grimmer voice. "But not everyone can come, a few cats, the weaker cats must stay here and guard the city territory under Bones guidance.
Immediately the atmosphere around the gathering cats changed. They knew cats would be left behind, but now that it was said aloud it seemed worse. "You must look on the good side though." He urged. "There will be more food here when the others leave, and those who do show there strength may come and join us in the forest." With that he jumped off the trash can and began the walk back towards the forest.
