OOC: I'm SO glade you haven't gotten bored with this 'History' yet... It's all a little unplanned...
IC: "The tom went to his kin, telling them of what the 'inner circle' planned: to abandon them completely and leave for the forest. This caused an outrage, and , furious, a she-cat named Shira stepped forward, saying that the cats of Bloodclan needed to stand up for themselves and stop the madness that was Scrap.
Many cats agreed with her and followed her to the great Two-leg nest.
As the great host sat outside of the two-leg nest, a Warrior of Scrap, Silkvoice, came out to greet them. He sat in front of them, claws sheathed, tail wrapped around his paws and said:"
Loveless's voice became deeper and smoother;
" 'I know why you are all here. I know what you're all thinking - Scrap, your great leader, abandon you? Well, Subjects of Bloodclan, I stand before you to say this: You have been lied to.' This caused a whisper of uncertainty to rustle through the ranks of Shira as the tom kept talking -
'This tom here,' he pointed to the one that told Shira what Scrap was planning,
'Would see you all dead. He would see your kits drowning in a pool of blood as he turned all of us against one another. He has always hated Bloodclan, always hated our way of life, our food, our protection - our great Leader. He would have all of you die, and only for the reason of him wanting to lead us!'
Now, the cats who stood behind him and Shira began to hiss. Even Shira herself was doubting him, though she knew none of this was true - Silkvoice wasn't named so for no reason."
Loveless shivered and fluffed up his fur some more, moving away from the cave entrance.
"Many cats of Outer Bloodclan were believing Silkvoice, forgetting that the tom was one of there own. Some cats began to nip at the tom's heels, Shira flattening her ears at him.
'I was sent out to find as many cats as I could who wanted to come with Scrap to the forest. There you will find fresh-kill, and your kits will rarely go hungry. Great rivers - you'll never be thirsty again. Wide open spaces, where you wouldn't have to worry about dogs or two-legs again. But this tom doesn't want you to have any of that. He wants all of you to stay here, in the hunger, thirst, filth, and sickness... Scrap does not.' The cats were listening to Silkvoice intently. A place away from two-legs? No dogs or hunger?
'Scrap is different from his ancestors. He's different from Scar! Will you come with us to the forest? Will you come with me to ease?' The cats definitely wanted to come with him.
'What do we have to do to come with you?' they cried. Some of the Queens ran away to gather their kits and younglings, to tell them of the great Forest that would save them.
Silkvoice expected such questions and grinned.
'Kill those who would keep you here. Kill those who follow him,' Silkvoice looked at the tom."
Loveless paused, eyeing Joy and mewed,
"Let's skip the battle, hmm? In the end, a few of those that had followed the tom escaped, but many who had followed Shira had died. Silkvoice had turned them on each other, weeding out the weak in the best way he knew."
Loveless paused to catch his breath and relax his jaw.
OOC: I'd have to catch my breath too... whew...
