Scourge's Daughter- Old

Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Scourge sat next to Stream, looking down at their unconscious daughter. Scourge looked at her and thought of himself when he was little.

Flashback

‘A small black kitten with a white paw hid under a blanket. He was playing hide and seek, but like always he was never found. His brother and sister always ignored him, leaving him on his own. Then their mother called them, “Rudy, Socks! Come here!” as his siblings padded over to her, Tiny got out from under the blanket and followed them. “I’ve told you to be nice to your brother.”

“But mama he whines to much and always gives his hiding place away.” Meowed Rudy, flatting her ears. Socks nodded his head in agreement.

‘It’s not my fault I’m so small, I’d grow if I could just so they would like me.’ Thought Tiny.

Later that day

The three kittens when outside for the first time. ‘The scents are so strange’ thought Tiny as he wondered around. The Twolegs they lived without strange things around their necks that jingled. Tiny went over to the fence and found a hole. He looked through it and saw huge trees. ‘That must be the forest!’ he thought.

“Tiny!” he heard his mother call him. He raced over to her and saw Socks and Rudy playing a new game. They were batting their paws at a fluffy thing one of the Twoleg kits were wiggling in front of them. ‘I don’t think they’re playing right.’

He padded up to Rudy and asked “Can I play?” she looked at him and meowed. “I guess.” Tiny jumped and grabbed the fluffy thing and raced off with it. He hid in the bushes. Then Rudy and Socks ran up and growled, “Give that back! You don’t play right!” then Socks snatched the fluffy thing away and they padded back to the Twoleg kits.

Tiny just looked at them, then he though. ‘I’ll show them.’ He raced off to the hole in the fence and wiggled through. He padded toward the forest and walked into it. ‘Wow, it’s so big!’ he thought. He saw a leaf and jumped on it. Then he saw a tree stump and climb up it.

Tiny heard a noise from above and looked up to see a bird flying down toward him. He lowered himself to the ground. The bird landed a few fox-lengths away from the stump. Then he heard his mother calling him and ran back to the fence. He crawled through the hole and ran up to his mother.

“Tiny where have you been?” his mother meowed, coming to lick his head. “I went into the forest! I caught a mouse, then I climbed a tower, and I made a house and lived in it. Then I caught a fox and ate it.” Tiny squeaked as his mother picked him up.

“Liar!” meowed Rudy and Socks, they sent glares at him. “You’re too weak and small to do anything big.”

“Oh my brave little kit.” Purred Tiny’s mother as she placed him in their bed. ‘They don’t believe me, mother says I’m brave, but I don’t think she believes me either.’   

Days later

‘Ruby and Socks no longer let me play, mother does not try to stop them from being mean anymore. She pays more attention to them now.’

Ruby and Socks were practicing fighting as their mother told them how to win against eachother. Tiny came over and asked, “Can you teach me how to fight?” they turned and meowed. “No!” then they ran to play somewhere else.

As they went inside, their mother called Ruby and Socks. “Now some Twolegs are going to come and they might take you home.” She meowed to them.
