The Return Of Scourge

Chapter 2 Part 2 - Memories

"Scourge!" Scourge heard a whisper "Scourge!!" Something hard hit Scourge on the head, and he bounced awake "What is it" Scourge hissed quietly to Cloudtail, who was holding a bunch of sticks in his mouth. Cloudtail dropped the sticks and looked at Scourge "Firestar asked me to take you hunting!" Cloudtail chipped happily "Now hurry up and get your lazy clump of fur off the ground!" Scourge huffed Scourge tell me what Starclan sent you Tigerstar. You know more than enough to know that I don't tell anyone anything. Scourge lifted himself off the ground and stretched, yawning loudly before following Cloudtail through the thick brambles that cover the entrance "Where are we going?" Scourge asked Cloudtail while padding quickly towards him, "We're going to Tallpines, theres fat mouse there that we can bring back to the clan" Scourge wasn't sure is this part of Tallpines was safe or not, "hey Cloudtail..." Scourge poked Cloudtail with his paw "what?" "Are you sure this part of Tallpines is safe? I can smell Shadowclan and Windclan here" Cloudtail immediately stopped in his tracked and lifted his head up to sniff the air, "What do you mean?, I can't smell anything" Cloudtail whispered "Really concentrate, because the area has lots of foul smelling scents!" Scourge said, Cloudtail tried again but more slowly, "Now that you mention it, I do smell Windclan, but not Shadowclan" he turned towards Scourge, "go tell Firestar, now" Scourge's eyes widen, "I'm not gonna leave you alone here with enemy clans!" Scourge flicked his tail, "Scourge, now is not the time to be acting like a kittypet, go and tell Firestar now" Cloudtail said sternly, Scourge turned around, casting one final glance at Cloudtail before sprinting swiftly across the pinecone-filled dirt, towards Thunderclan camp.

Scourge blasted through the brambles and made a B line towards Firestar, "FIRESTAR" Scourge gasped "Scourge!" Firestar ran to his side "what happened!?" Scourge reached his paw out like a beckoning twoleg paw, "C-cloudtail s-s-said that he smelt  W-windclan and told me t-to tell you!" Scourge blurted out, just as Firestar was about to assign patrols and a retrieval group, Cloudtail burst through the brambles, scars and bites all over him, and Windclan following behind, spitting and hissing. "What are you doing here?" Firestar stood up bravely as Cloudrail scampered being him and Scourge "Well, one of your blumming apprentices told us that your clan has Scourge under your tail!" Spat Tallstar "Tallstar there was no need to lead your clan here to Thunderclan camp" Firestar flicked his tail to the growling pack of warriors that stood behind him "if all you were angry about was Scourge being reincarnated back alive," Firestar cast a glace at the small black and white tom, "Then your sense of forgiveness is no high" he sighed and slowly sat down "What is in the past was in thr past. We forget it and move on to the future!" Tallstar shuffled on his feet then glared at Scourge "he has devastated the forest enough!" Tallstar spat "he must be removed immediately!" Scourge squeaked at the harshness of Tallstar's voice and flattened his ears on his head in shame, "B-but i dont want to be an evil cat anymore!" Scourge protested "I want to change... and fix the damage that i have done" Tallstar stomped his paw "nonsence!, you were born evil!" Tallstar growled "once you go evil you're always evil!" Firestar jumped up "Tallstar, everyone has a second chance, after all" Firestar started "If it weren't for Scourge, this forest would be in more chaos if Tigerstar ruled over!" Tallstar flicked his tail in dissapointment and turned and left. Scourge walked up to Firestar, "I'm sorry for causing all this..." he apologiesed "Scourge it is ok. I had a second chance, so it wouldn't be fair if you didn't" Firestar reassured "ok.." Scourge turned away and padded towards his den.

Scourge sat down and closed his eyes..

"but mum!" a grey she cat mewed "he's to weak! and he mewls to much. he always gives away where he is!" a black and white tom stood up "Its no fun to play with him!" the mother bend down and stared at them, "Socks, Ruby it doesn't matter of how he is weak or small. I don't want to see rough housing like that again" Socks and Ruby looked down in shame "yes mum.."

Scourge stared bitterly at the memories that flooded into his brain

A tiny black cat sat on the table hitting the ball of string around , a twoleg looks at him then turns away and runs off, They just walked past me! the small tom thought, his eyes widen in fear...

Scourge bent his head in his paws breathing in and out to calm himself

Tiny crouched underneath the table, looking sadly at his siblings, Socks and Ruby. Ruby felt his gaze on her and walked up to him "Hey Tiny!, do you know what happens to unwanted kittens?" Ruby asked, smirking. Tiny shook his head "They get thrown in the river!" she clawed at Tiny and he ran outside and scrambled beneath the hole in the fence...

Silent tears fell from Scourge's eyes as he cried and sobbed..

Tigerpaw loomed over Tiny and ranked his claws down the small cats side, Tiny mewed in pain and clawed at the bigger forest cat. Tigerpaw bit at Tiny's collar and ripped off the bell. "Tigerpaw enough of this!" a blue she cat hissed "he is only a kit!, stop or i'll tell Sunstar!" Tigerpaw looked at the blue she cat, "But Bluefur! I was only defending our territory" Bluefur glared at Tigerpaw, "And you have done that!" She mewed "warriors don"t need to kill their enemies to win a fight" Tiger paw growled and looked at Tiny "Yeah!" he snapped "You will never forget me!" Tigerpaw hissed "WILL YOU?"

Scourge jumped awake and tears started to slide down his face and wet the moss bed  he was sleeping on, Sandstorm seemed to sense his sadness and woke up immediately. She cast a worried glance at Scourge and licked his forhead "Scourge what's wrong?" she asked "I had a dream that i was shunned out again!" Scourge cried "D-do you think i'm stupid?, small?, weak?" Sandstorm licked his forhead one more time "no, Scourge. I think you are unique!" she mewed happily, Scourge smiled and finally drifted off to sleep again.
