What could have been: A Scourge Story (Chapter 1)

“Bluefur, please follow me.”
Sunstar led her between the crowd of surprised cats, who were all meowing or hissing.
“I’m sorry, Sunstar. It just didn’t feel right leaving the kit alone to die.” Bluefur said, wincing. Sunstar sighed heavily.
“I understand what you mean. But think what the other clans will say!” Sunstar replied, sitting down in the corner of the den. Bluefur rolled her eyes.
“It doesn’t matter what they say! Thunderclan will have another warrior for its ranks!” Bluefur reasoned, stepping closer to the leader.
“Alright then, Bluefur. This kit shall be allowed to stay in the clan.” Sunstar said quietly. He flicked his tail, gesturing for her to leave. Bluefur nodded, and padded out of the den.
She had dropped the kit off in the nursery, with Snowfur and Whitekit. Tiny was play fighting with him, and he looked much happier.
“Hello, Bluefur. You never told me what happened to him.” She said, standing up to greet her sister. Tiny bounced up to the two, almost knocking Whitekit into the wall.
“Hey! Guess what? I’m Tinykit now!”  He said, purring loudly. Bluefur tried to ignore him, but he was climbing all over her paws.
“Oh, that’s nice. Attacked, it was Thistleclaw’s apprentice.” Bluefur said quietly. She still didn’t quite understand why her sister loved the tom. He was so ruthless. Snowfur sighed.
“You mean Tigerpaw? Ergh, he’s a pretty annoying tom.” Snowfur said, rolling her eyes.
“Yes. But you will take him in, won’t you?” Bluefur asked, looking down at Tinykit again. Snowfur nodded, but somewhat reluctantly.
“Sure. But you know, being a queen isn’t all it’s cut out to be.” Snowfur said, trying not be heard. Bluefur was confused, what did she mean?
“Um, alright. I’ll be back later.” Bluefur said, walking out of the nursery and smack into Tigerpaw. She fell backward.
“Hey! Watch it.” Bluefur hissed, standing up and rubbing her nose. Tigerpaw did not reply at first, and just stood there.
“Why did you let that kittypet in?” He snarled quietly. Bluefur growled. He was only an apprentice, and it wasn’t his clan.
“Hey, you’re not in charge here. Keep your nose out of it; it’s not your business.” Bluefur said harshly, baring her sharp teeth. She then stalked off.
She went to go get a mouse from the fresh kill pile, when she noticed Thistleclaw and Tigerpaw talking. Normally, she wouldn’t have cared. But today…
“What are you staring at?” Thistleclaw growled. Bluefur ignored this, and took a small mouse from the pile.
“Nothing, why so jumpy?” Bluefur asked sarcastically, starting to eat. They apparently hadn’t heard her. They continued on in hushed whispers. She was only able to make out a few words. But they all seemed suspicious. Plan, Pure, and Tonight.
“What in Starclan?” Bluefur mumbled. She thought about it for a moment, trying to see what that meant. Bluefur considered the words she’d heard.
They were mad about her bringing in Tinykit, because they hated kittypets. And they also wanted Thunderclan to be for true forest cats.
“They want to kill him!” Bluefur mewed, very surprised.
Bluefur told herself that she would wait at night, to see what they’d do. But it still didn’t fully make that much sense.
“I’m finding this out.”Bluefur said, very determined.
