Tiny continued walking through the woods with his head down and his tail between his legs. He accidentally bumped into a big tabby cat. He looked up and backed away slowly.

Tiny spoke up, "I-I'm sorry."

"Watch where you're going runt!" the big tabby cat said.

"I didn't see you there!" Tiny replied.

"No! You don't say!" the cat whipped around and knocked Tiny onto his back with an oomph. He looked at him dead in the eye, "The name is Tigerpaw. I'm training to become a strong warrior and leader. So don't get in my way!"

"S-sorry! I was just passing through!" Tiny stuttered.

"Hey, is that a kittypet collar?" Tigerpaw sneered.

"Y-yes?" Tiny shivered.

"You're a runaway, huh?" Tigerpaw smirked.

Tiny stayed silent. But he gulped. Hoping this big tabby wouldn't kill him.

Tigerpaw pressed his large paw up against Tiny's throat, "You know what they do to kittypets around here, don't you?"

"Wh-wh-what?" Tiny stuttered.

Tigerpaw lifted one paw and slashed Tiny. Making the bell on his collar break off. There was blood dripping from the side of Tiny's cheek.

Tiny yelped out, "Leave me alone!!"

"Or what? You're gonna run home crying to mommy?" Tigerpaw laughed.

Tiny struggled to get free, "I'll rip your head off!"

Tigerpaw laughed at the struggling kit, "Yeah right!"

"Leave him alone!" a female voice called.

Tigerpaw turned his head. He gave the she-cat a dirty look, "What do you want Keiara?"

"Get off of him or I'll take your ears off!" she yelled.

Tigerpaw smiled deviously at Tiny. Letting him know this wouldn't be the last time he ever saw him.

Tiny stood up. He looked at the pretty young black and white she-cat. She smiled reassuringly.

He was shaken up. But he had never seen a more beautiful she-cat in all his life. He dashed off without saying thank you and soon regretted it. But he just wanted to get away from that awful Tigerpaw. Tiny knew he would never forget him. He knew he would seek vengeance somehow... Someway...

Tiny found himself in the streets of the two-legs. He felt scared and alone. There was an alleyway, maybe he could find food!

He walked slowly in and sniffed around. He heard growling. Tiny looked up.

"What are you doing here scrap?" an ugly hairless tom asked.

"I-I was just looking for food!" he said.

"Get outta here before I kill ya!" he hissed.

Tiny shivered and turned to run when he saw another, very tall, strong black and white tom in front of him.

"The name is Bone. What are you doing in BloodClan territory?" he growled.

"I-I was just passing through! No harm!" Tiny said.

"Scat, runt!" Bone hissed.

Tiny ran as fast as he could. Avoiding being killed by all means. He came across a big dog, it appeared to be sleeping. Tiny stopped and sniffed the dog and woke it up. It barked and snapped at him.

Tiny hissed and swiped at the big beast, causing it to turn away and walk in the other direction. Tiny felt accomplished. He looked down and saw a tooth. It was a dogs tooth!

"Maybe I could use that to get this stupid collar off of me!" Tiny said to himself.

He started digging the tooth into his collar, but to no avail. It had torn its way through into the collar and got stuck. Tiny growled and cussed at the stupid tooth and tried to take it out, but it didn't work.

"Hey! I thought I told you-"

Tiny jerked his head around and saw the masculine black and white tom. Tiny backed away slowly but saw Bone approach him more calmly.

"Is that... A dog tooth?" he asked.

"Y-yeah. It is," Tiny replied.

"That's amazing! I didn't know you killed dogs!" Bone replied.

"What?" Tiny said.

"You kill dogs don't you? That's obviously proof! What do they call you, kid?"

Tiny thought for a moment. He spoke up, "Scourge. They call me Scourge."

"Welcome to the clan Scourge," Bone said.

"Thank you," Scourge replied.

Bone looked around, "You know... We need a new leader. Our last one got killed by two-legs. Do you think you're up for the job?"

"Yes. Of course I am!" Scourge replied.

"I will announce to our clan, our new leader," Bone told him.

They both walked to the clan and jumped onto the dumpster. Bone banged on the side of the dumpster to get everyone's attention.

"I now announce our new leader! Scourge!" Bone called out.

Everyone cheered. Including the ones who had given him a hard time earlier.

Tiny, now known as Scourge, was very excited to be the leader of a clan. He was going to show everyone what they have done to him. How treating him has changed him into a different being. He no longer felt like the soft, fragile, scaredy-cat that everyone knew him by. No... He was Scourge. And he had won.
