The Return of scourge.

chapter 4

(art not mine!!)

  Willowpaw untwined her tail from Tinypaw's and walked to the medicine den, she sat by Ashpaw and licked some of the dried blood off his legs."Willowpaw?" He groaned, his mangled legs ached at her touch, she stopped and looked at him.
  "I tried to spend the night here but Tinypaw wanted me to come with him and I got mad at him for no reason, he got mad back at me understandably. So I stayed with him and promised I'd never leave him." Willowpaw meowed quietly.
    Ashpaws eyes widened and his eyebrows slanted down "He needs to learn you're not going to be with him forever, it's like he thinks you're his mate." Ashpaw growled.
   "Don't be so hard on him. Everyone except bone left him until I came." Willowpaw frowned, she sat up and walked over to his face and touched his cheek. "I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I just couldn't move."
  "It's fine, really, don't be hard on yourself. You couldn't have done much anyway, Shadowheart and Foxstripe are very powerful warriors." Ashpaw spoke calmly.

  "Come on Willowpaw, we have to train." Brightheart spoke at the entrance of the den.
   "Coming!" Willowpaw said, walking past Ashpaw, landing Infront of brightheart.

The two walked over to the training grounds and Brightheart smiled. "Let's start with just hitting your enemy head on!"
   Willowpaw nodded and jumped towards Brightheart, she moved out of the way just in time.
 
Willowpaw yowled, she ran in circles around Brightheart, Brightheart was confused then realized what she was doing. Willowpaw hit Brightheart in the side, knocking her over. "Gotcha!" Willowpaw smiled.

"You're a fast one, aren't you?" Brightheart chuckled.

Tinypaw walked into the training grounds and saw Brightheart and Willowpaw training, he decided to hide in a bush so he could watch.

  Brightheart got up and chuckled. Willowpaw smiled. "You're good at side attacks, but one thing I need to see is how strong you are without speed, come at me" Brightheart smiled, Willowpaw chuckled and hit Brightheart in the side, she tumbled sideways. "Good, your strength is good." Brightheart smiled.

Willowpaw smiled and the two started fighting and using battle tactics.

Tinypaw looked at the two fight in awe, Willowpaws pelt shone in the sun brilliantly, her eyes shining with passion, a smirk placed across her face, sudden yowling disrupted the two. Tinypaw ran into camp along with the two.

  "You were watching us?" Willowpaw asked
  "Yeah sorry" Tinypaw frowned.
   "No time for apologizing guys somethings wrong!" Brightheart yowled.

They got there and two bloodclan cats stood there. "What do you mean you can't find Scourge!" One yelled.
   "We know he's been reincarnated! And he's here!" The other one yelled. Tinypaw's eyes widened in terror. He started to cry, he didn't want to be a murderer again, he wanted to be a clan leader with his mate always by his side.

The cat Infront of the two was covered in blood, his legs limping behind him, it was Ashpaw being hurt, Willowpaw started to cry too, her two best friends were about to be taken away from her.

The two grumbled something to each others then one used his reinforced claws to shred Ashpaws neck open, causing a wave of screams to erupt, the two scanned the cats, Tinypaw catching their eye, they walked towards him as he screamed and cowered in fear.

"Go away! Please I don't want to go back!" Tinypaw sobbed

"Come on boss, they miss you."one of the cats spoke

"Stop!" Tinypaw cried, the cat dug his claws into Tinypaw's shoulder, Tinypaw cried even harder.

"I'll bring you back by force" the cat spoke, digging his claws into Tinypaw's shoulder even deeper.

Tinypaw breathed harshly looking down, tears fell from his face. "Forgive me for what you're all about to see." Tinypaw closed his his eyes. He opened his eyes and they were only slits, his eyes were deep and full of hate.

"Thunderclan is where I belong. You understand me? Stop forcing me to come back to bloodclan. Listen to the cat that built your home." He growled. "I AM NO LONGER A SCOURGE ON CATS, I WILL SINGLE-HANDEDLY SAVE THUNDERCLAN IF I HAVE TO!" Tinypaw yelled with passion. "I AM GOING TO PROTECT THE CATS I LOVE, I WILL LET THEIR HOPES AND DREAMS SOAR."

Tinypaw unsheathed his claws and slid them from the cat's chest to his throat, giving him a bloody death. He turned to the other cat and bit his neck. He fell to the ground.

Blood covered the ground and Tinypaw, Tinypaw breathed harshly and laid down and started sobbing.  Willowpaw stood in shock, her crush was just killed and her best friend was crying on the ground, she walked towards Tinypaw and laid by him, she entwined her tail with his she nuzzled his neck. Everyone was shocked and didn't know what to do, some screaming about Ashpaws death, others talking about how "scourge made a come back"

Ashpaw didn't die immediately surprisingly, he saw Willowpaw walk to Tinypaw. "Damn it..." He thought. He always loved Willowpaw and wanted to protect her, no matter what, he was sad he lost his entire life in the blink of an eye.

Willowpaw and Tinypaw got up and walked to the apprentice den, they cried together, Tinypaw nuzzled her and Willowpaw screamed in pain over the death of her crush and possible mate.

Willowpaw sat by Ashpaw, she touched his bloodied neck "you shouldn't have died this way..." She cried "we should of had kittens and those kittens should have had kittens, just one big happy family. Our love growing more and more each day." Willowpaw muttered "I love you with all my heart, I always have" Willowpaw frowned.

Willowpaw laid down next to him and laid her head on his neck. Foxstripe sat next to her. "He was taken so early, he really did love you." The beautiful dark ginger tabby spoke. Willowpaw sobbed harshly.

  "He would have been a great warrior and a even greater leader, up there with Firestar and Thunder." Shadowheart mumbled.

"Bloodclan is going to pay, we'll end them!" Sandfur yowled.

Willowpaw looked at the three and nodded her head, looking back at Ashpaw and nuzzling his bloody neck. She looked at his peaceful face and licked it. "He shouldn't have died, it should have been me" Tinypaw sobbed, his eyebrows slanted "His death will not be for nothing! I will destroy what I built!" Tinypaw growled, slamming his white paw to the ground "and you better believe it!" He screeched. Willowpaw turned to Tinypaw and smiled.
  "Thank you." She sputtered out in-between tears.

Tinypaw walked over to the corpses of snake and ice and took the claws from snake and put them on his own. "With these claws that have killed innocents I will kill those who kill them!" Tinypaw shouted.

Tinypaw walked to Ashpaw and placed a paw on his head, he slid his hand down to his neck and retracted his paw "a apprentice destined for greatness killed for no reason, what a SHAME!" Tinypaw growled. Tinypaw walked away "I'm going to go catch prey, I need to train for when I destroy bloodclan." Tinypaw said huskily.
