Warriors: The Rise of Moonfur

Chapter 16

~~1 moon later~~

        Scourge found out that Moonfur was pregnant two days after she found out. He placed more guards around the camp. She wasn't allowed in the nursery because the queens might get 'jealous'. Of course she knew that Scourge was being over-protective but it really bugged her. Only certain cats were allowed in the den. Some brought her food and water and stayed to chat while others just came in to guard the queen. It was really boring in there but there was one cat that Moonfur really liked. Her name is Racoontail. She is a black and grey cat with racoon-like markings. She has an aqua colored collar. Racoontail visited Moonfur everyday, but her brother, Chain, preferred to flirt with her. Scourge didn't know, and just shrugged every time he was blamed. He was one of his most trusted warriors. One unfaithful day brought death.

Moonfur napped in the dump as cats of all shapes and colors passed by, gossiping and patrolling. Soon a grey and white cat silently entered the dump. His name was Chain. Chain smirked as he saw Moonfur's sleeping figure. He slowly padded toward her. She suddenly woke up. "Chain? What are you-" "Well well, sweetie. You'll soon know." He smirked. He walked around, examining her. "You look... Stunning today..." Moonfur's ears went down with hatred. "Get out you piece of Foxdung!" She hissed. "Hmm, not until you love me." Moonfur growled at him. That growl soon turned into a yowl.

Scourge listened in to his warriors conversation as he patrolled with his deputy. Soon a yowl came from the dump. Scourge's ears pricked with question. "Moonfur?" He rushed to the dump, leaping inside to see Chain's unsheathed paw hit Moonfur's face. "Tell me how much you love me!" Moonfur stood up slowly flinching from the cut on her cheek. "N-never."

        Scourge snarled and leaped onto Chain's back, slicing his collar off. He whispered into his ear. "You are now exiled." He sliced his throat with one claw. Chain collapsed and choked. Blood pooled around him as his dying coughed echoed through the dump. Scourge stood on top of him with a look of disgust. After he coughed his last time, Scourge rushed over to Moonfur, licking her head. "Are you alright? Is that cut deep? How are you?" He asked urgently, cleaning the wound on her cheek. She just shrugged. "I'm fine." She nodded. "Yeah. Fine." Scourge nodded back. "You sure you don't need to go to Leopardpool? I think you need cobwebs..." "No Scourge, I'm fine. Just get this body out and I'll be fine." Soon Racoontail came in. "Is Moonfur alr-" she stared at her brothers dead corpse. She gave out a high pitched wail. Moonfur stared at her with sympathy. Racoontail just stopped and narrowed her eyes. "I knew it. I knew that he would be a mousebrain and try this dumb plan." The two mates didn't even have to ask what it was. Racoontail spat on her brother and took his scruff. She dragged him out of the den, a path of blood being made as she walked. Moonfur and Scourge watched from a distance.
