The night over the land seemed unusually peaceful as the large black and white tom weaved his way through the labyrinthine alleys that made up Twolegplace. Padding than an alley darker than even it's dismal counterparts, the tom stopped and bowed his head as he approached the small black cat sat in rotten door way.
"We have received word from Tigerstar," he meowed gruffly, "He wants us to move to the "Fourtrees" and prepare for a battle."
"Thank you Bone," replied the diminutive ebony tom, "Gather Brick and the others. Prepare to move on my order."
As the Bone nodded and quickly ran off, as though even he was glad he no longer had to endure his presence, the black tom closed his eyes and smirked evilly to himself.
"Soon they will see. They will all see!" He muttered to himself as he lay down and closed his icy eyes . Unconsciously he unsheathed his claws, taking great enjoyment as he imagined the blood letting to come.
" You don't have to do this," squeaked the tiny mew of a young kit. Opening one eye, the older cat regarded the kit with a look of utter contempt. " You can still change Scourge."
"Who are you to stop me?" He snarled, "I killed you ages ago. You are nothing but a bad memory that will soon fade into the black oblivion. Tiny is no more!"
Tiny, trembling but still defiant, stood a step towards Scourge, despite that for the first time in his life, Scourge was far larger than he.
"Why must you kill?" Mewed the kit, "Why not quit this life and find a nice housefolk. They will look after you. No more hunting, no more...."
"What have they ever done for me," growled Scourge, "They were going to throw us away. Worse kill us or have you forgotten what happens to unwanted kittens."
" They get ..." Tiny faltered, only making Scourge more impatient.
" Thrown in the river!" He finished, lashing his tail angrily from side to side causing the terrified kit to squeal and ty to back away but Scourge stopped him. " Besides even if they did want me now, I wouldn't want them. I have everything a cat could want! Prey, territory, followers and after tonight, when my revenge on the forest scum is complete, I shall be remembered as the greatest cat ever to ha he walked the face of this miserable world."
Glancing back down at Tiny, Scourge noticed that the kit's eyes were wielded shut. His fur was standing on end and Scourge expected him to leave him right then and there. But Tiny did no such thing and even the leader of BloodClan was impressed at his considerable if foolish courage. Then again, Tiny was Scourge.
" But why do you do this?" Tiny asked quietly, "To what end do you hope to achieve through this?"
Revealing his fangs as he twisted his face into a dark sneer as he padded menacing towards Tiny.
"That's the beauty of it," he smirked, "By removing the forest scum and gaining the promised territory, my power will be absolute. After that there will be no purpose but we will still fight and kill any who dare oppose us. And why? No other reason than that we may revel in the bloodshed for that is who we are! We are BloodClan!"
Unable to comprehend what Scourge was saying, Tiny backed away hurriedly but found himself against the wall. Narrowing his eyes, Scourge lunged at the weak part of hom, ready to rend and kill.
Suddenly his blue eyes flickered open as he heard cats approaching. Stood before I'm was a.mighty host of warriors, cats trained and tested in the ways of bloodshed and slaughter, the way of BloodClan. At the vanguard stood bone and a lithe dark red she cat, Brick.
Stretching his muscles, Scourge padded over towards them, noting how the general chatter of he cats had instantly died as he approached. Glancing back at the wall from his dreams, Scourge saw no apparition of his former sense. He was the leader of BloodClan and nothing, no code, no error would stop him from achieving his goals.
" Let's move," he meowed softlyyet menacingly, "It is time to make ourselves known."
