Sixth Month

Scourge looked to the full moon, wondering what he should do. After the constant visiting for his second family, he was having second thoughts about about making his group. He shouldn't have made the rules, dividing families up and making the kits unable to care for themselves. Maybe he shouldn't make the cats respect him in such an awful way.

"Tiny."

"D-dad? What are you doing here? No, how did you get in here?"

Jake almost rolled his eyes. "I'm always sneaking around, especially here."

Scourge gaped. He always snuck in Bloodclan territory? Come to think of it, his patrols always reported an unknown same scent around the borders, leading and disappearing somewhere inside the area.

The bigger cat look amused. "I need to talk to you, but not here. Okay?"

The black one nodded. "Me too."

Scourge told Jake what happened to him between his siblings, why he left the housefolk, how he rose in the alleys and why he made Bloodclan. The small cat stared at the floor, waiting, not knowing what to expect.

"I've always hoped to meet you. When I visited your mom, around the time when you, Socks and Ruby should be taken to other housefolk, you weren't there. She said you went missing a week ago. She worried over you, not knowing what happened. Quince thought you died."

"Mom.."

"I remember Quince saying that you explored the forest once. She could smell the forest stink on you."

"She believed me."

"Where does Mom live?"

"She moved somewhere...far from here a month after you disappeared." Jake looked down at Scourge, who looked guilty.

"I never got to say how sorry I am."

"You know, I already knew you are Scourge, founder and leader of Bloodclan. Quince said you were small, smaller than normal kits and you have one white paw. She told me how Ruby and Socks bullied you and how happy you were when you came back from the forest."

"She said everything about me?"

"Yes, and I'm sure she doesn't want any of her kits doing things like this. She never liked forest and alley cats, always thought they're all bad cats, when really she's just scared to know more about them."

Jake chuckled.

"I have two good friends from there, Talltail and Bluefur. Bluefur taught me about the clan a little, she called it Thunderclan, and I wanted to know more. So I keep visiting the forest. I also got confused about if I want to stay a house cat or a forest cat. Then I meet Talltail, he saved me from dogs and helped me with where I belong. Your mom meet him once and thought he was taking me away from Twoleg life."

Jake sighed at the memory.

"Dad? What should I do?."

"About what?"

"Earlier, I was thinking how horrible I've been, separating kits from their mothers, none allowed to live together...I'm pretty sure the alleys were a better place before I made those rules out of fear and demanding respect."

Jake smiled. "I'm sure you will make a good choice."

"Scourge! You're back! Now what should we do with this rule breaker?" called out a pale, patterned tom holding down a gray she-cat.

"Let her go."

The cat crocked his head. "What?"

"I said. LET. HER. GO."

The tom stared at him, shocked as the cat he was holding earlier had pushed his paw off and sprinted away.

Scourge let his own paw shock out, forcing the cat back to the world. "Call all cats to my alley for a meeting."

Scourge looked down his alley, full of Bloodclan cats talking, some wearing toothed collars and some wearing nothing. All from different families, families he tore apart. He took a deep breath.

"Attention everyone! I'm calling a meeting here!"

The cats stopped talking, looking at him expectantly.

"I am disbanding Bloodclan!"

Some cats, especially the cats who came to him to join his guards, chorused angrily. Only Bone and Brick did not and every other cats have happy faces.

"Why Scourge?!"

"I don't wish to continue this tearing. This ripping apart families. I did it out of fear. I'm sure some of you remember I wasn't like this, when I didn't make those rules. I did this because when those rogues from the forest came here, they insulted me. I thought I should be respected from every cat, that is why I created Bloodclan. But now I realized that all this isn't worth it. And this clan, this clan isn't worth staying as a group if it is only used for fear. That is why I am disbanding Bloodclan." Their leader stared down at them. Suddenly he out his paw through his collar and unlike months ago when he struggled to get it off, he tore it off. "Bloodclan is of no longer!"

Scourge jumped down the dumpster. As he walked down his alley, all the cats backed away from him, his own guards hissing a him as he left his group forever.

Guess I kind of made if similar to how Pinestar left.
