Scourge's Daughter- Old

Chapter 9

Chapter 9                                              

Angel just stared at the unconscious cat, unsure what to do. She knows she promised to bring him back to the ally so Scourge can decide what to do with him, but she can’t carry his injured body by herself. She is like half his size! And if she leaves to go get some cats who can he might wake up and escape. So she decides to just stay there until he wakes and then she will force him to follow her back to the ally.

By the time he wakes it is pass moonhigh. He whimpers in pain, he tries to lift his head but is unable to. Angel pads up to him and prods him in the side with a paw, he cries out. “Get up, you’re coming with me.” She meows, then turns away padding to the exit of the room.

She hears a faint meow, “No...” then she turns back around sharply and yowls. “Get up now before I come over there and shed you!!!” she storms over to his side and jabs an unshed claw into his side earning a cry from him. He struggle to stand and limps over to the door. She follows with her tail held high in the air.

Along the way back to the ally they had to stop multiple times for the tom to catch his breath. During one of the times they ran into one of the cats that were most loyal to Scourge. His name was Rip, he was a orange tom. He came running toward them when he saw them. He meowed, “Where have you been, we’ve been looking everywhere for you!?” then his gaze turn to the tom next to her. “Who’s this, I’ve never seen him before. He’s not of BloodClan either!”

“He was the reason I was gone so long. He’s the cat that’s been hanging around our territory and I went to go find him and bring him to Scourge.” Angel meowed, “Can you carry him cause I’m tired of stopping every few steps, and would like to reassure the other that I’m alive.” She pointed her ear toward the gasping tom laying on the ground.

“Sure.” Rip meowed, then he padded over to the tom and lifted him over his shoulders. The tom whimpered in pain, then fell silent.

As they enter the ally, they could see a tom yowling threats at everyone in sight. The tom on the back of Rip lifted his head and meowed. “Who is the tom yowling as though his tail was cut off?”

“That would be my brother....” Angel meowed with a sigh. She and Rip padded over to Kill. Cats looked at them with surprise and relief. “Kill you can calm down I’m alright.” Kill turn around in surprise and meowed with joy and raced over to her and brushed his cheek against hers.

Scourge, Stream, Bone, and Brick all padded over to them. Scourge narrowed his eyes as he looked at the tom on Rips back. “Who is that?” he hissed. Angel turned to look at her father and meowed, “This is the tom you were talking about this morning.” She walked up to her father and he looked at her in surprise. “You were gone all that time looking for this worthless thing?”

“You wanted him gone so I asked Bone and Brick if I could try and find him.” Angel then lowered her head in shame as she realized she had did not bring home any food. “I forgot to hunt on the way, I’m sorry.”

Scourge just looked at his daughter for a bit then he lowered his head and nuzzled her, “It’s fine, you did a good job, and to make up for the food you didn’t get today you can get tomorrow.” Then he turn his gaze to the half-conscious tom on Rip, he twitched his tail and Rip drop the tom onto the ground. The tom yelp in pain but did not try to move. Scourge padded over to him and meowed, “Why are you hanging around my territory?”

The tom barely lifted his head and hissed through clenched teeth. “Just cause you say it’s you’re does not make it so.” Scourge growled with rage and slammed his paw against the toms neck, the tom yowled. “How dare you speak to me like that do you not know who I am?!” Scourge growled, his tail lashing with anger. “I’m SCOURGE, leader of BloodClan!!!”

The tom meowed, “Who, and leader of what?” Scourge froze, his eyes shadowed from everyone’s sight. He stood like that for a bit then removed his paw from the tom’s neck and padded away to his den, over his shoulder he meowed. “Put him somewhere in the ally and have him guarded. I need to think of what to do with him.”

Bone order Ice and Snake to take the tom to a hole in the wall and guarded him until they send someone else to take their place. As Angel watch the two toms shove the injured tom into the hole, she thought about their siblings who had been kicked out. Ice, Snake, and their brother Barley were all white toms with black patches, and then there was their sister Violet, she was a light brown tabby with darker brown stripes.

Barley and Violet had been caught sharing a den. It is forbidden to share a den with someone, unless they are kits under the age of six moons or live in the ally, and only the most trust worthy were aloud to live in the all. If caught sharing a den the punishment was you were kicked out or death. So Scourge had decided to kill Violet in front of Barley, and the worst part was the cats who killed her were their siblings Snake and Ice.

Brick padded up to Angel and meowed, “I wouldn’t start mooning over him cause he’s probable goanna die tomorrow you know.” Angel turn to Brick and meowed. “I’m not mooning over him!!” Brick shook her head. “I can see it in your eyes dear, you’re in love with the tom.”

“Brick it can’t be possible I hardly know the tom, and he’s nothing but.....” Angel tried to find something to insult him with, but all she could think of was his beautiful bright blue eyes and his handsome figure. “Brick your right I have fallen for him, but he is not one of us and he probable doesn’t feel the same...” Angel hung her head in sadness.

Brick rested her tail on Angel’s shoulders and meowed, “I’ll talk to Stream and we’ll see what we can do.” Brick padded off to find Stream. Angel padded to her den which was close to Scourge’s den and curled up. She did not fall asleep like she hope.

This was the first time she noticed how lonely it was in her den and she wished she had someone to share it with, someone who would love her, and not because she was Scourge’s daughter.

She sigh and rested her head on her paws. Then finally she fell into sleep.
