A Life Before This One (RatsSMP Fanfic)

A/N 100 Reads Story!

Hello! Here's a short(ish) story on the occasion of reaching 100 Reads. This story btw is canon, it happened during/after the Catastrophe event in this AU. Since this happens after the Catastrophe event, Scott's abilities don't exist yet.

Tw: Angst stuff here, feel free to skip the story if wanted! (First time I'm actually making some form of Angst, so sorry if bad!)

Scott's Pov.

I froze in silence when I got to the attic with the group, as I remembered the voices I heard in my head say to everyone.

I felt so bad, I single handedly killed 2 fellow rats due to my carelessness with trying to get rid of the cats! No way any rat would forgive me for anything now. Especially after this catastrophe.

I hadn't noticed the group at all say anything to me, but I did see them around the stage, talking. I walked over to the stage, as I saw, and felt, most of the rats staring at me. I tried my best to ignore it, and sat down aswell. I knew rats were still staring at me even when I was sitting down.

I then realized what they were talking about. Punishing or Exiling a rat from the attic, they didn't say who thought. I couldn't tell in any way if they were joking about the exile, I assumed it was a whole joke. Then I questioned to myself, is it me they're talking about..?

I then started imagining what would happen and what they would do to me, if I was the rat they were talking about...

"So we all agree that Scott will be exiled from the attic? Due to his recklessness and carelessness for the rats in the attic" Apo asked the group with no hesitation in his voice.

"Yep!" Jimmy agreed, he was the safety rat, so of course he'd wanna do whatever possible to keep everyone safe. He was one of the rats on the stage aswell.

"Absolutely positive" El spoke afterwards, she looked away from Scott. She attempted to move away from him as best as possible aswell.

"We are indeed all in agreement" Owen's voice said, what he said was ringing all in my head. He is my best friend! Why was he like this due to one mistake?!?

"By the way Scott, never talk to me ever again. We are no longer best friends." Owen then spoke, as if he had read my mind to a tea.

"B-But guys! I'm sorry! It was a mistake I shouldn't have ever made!" I yelled at my friends in protest. I tried everything in my power to not cry, not to shed a tear of any sorts.

"Get out of the Rattic Scott! You are here exiled from ever being here again! If any rat even sees you again here. I'll give them full premission to kill you if needed." Owen then yelled back in response. I started crying on the spot, crying infront of all my past friends as they laughed at me because of it.

"Stop it! Stop laughing at me!" I yelled suddenly out loud, as the rats looked at me. I was a hot mess as I was crying and I had just shouted.

"Scott! Are you ok?! None of us noticed you were crying. Did we say something to offend you..?" Owen asked me, I was confused on why he wasn't being mean like how he was before.

"Yeah, I'm fine..." I responded, my eyes were puffy, and I was sniffling a bit aswell. It was a clear giveaway that I had been crying and most likely not ok.

The rest of the rats gathered around me, comforting me. They profoundly apologized for whatever it caused me to start crying. They didn't know what I had imagine, so I just pretended I was ok as much as I could.

I hope this, us, this feeling of being loved [not romantic] and cared about, would never end, ever. I then thought to myself while being in the pile of comforting rats.

[And that's the end of that story! Hope you enjoyed! Thank you all again for 100 Reads, I never expected something like this would be noticed! Next chapter is already being worked on so don't worry. Bye for now!
