"Scourge!" a voice yelled. A black cat with one white paw looked up from his nap. "Yes?" he said. "The loners you banished a few moons ago have returned... well one of them and... some... well you'll see" the voice said "ok Stone," Scourge said, before adding in a low voice "but did... did... you know who return, she said she would visit me..." seeing the look on Stone's face he stopped and looked away. A few tears started to roll out of his eyes, but he quickly swiped his paw on them smearing them away. He could not let his followers know that he, Scourge the most ruthless cat to live had a soft spot. And that soft spot was a cat named Flow.

 Flow was a loner who traveled around with her sister, Thaw. Flow and Thaw came across the cats of Twoleg place that Scourge ruled. Scourge planed to keep them prisoners and turn them into his servants. He even guarded them himself. He planed to make them loyal ruthless warriors that served only him. What he did not plan falling in love with Flow. And well, neither did Flow. Because Flow somehow saw something in Scourge besides ruthlessness. At first, Scourge did not know what he was feeling, he thought he was feeling deep hate, but no, deep hate and what he was feeling were not the same, it required him digging deep in memories he tried so hard to push away. But eventually, he realized what he really felt. He granted Flow one wish anything he could give her he would give it if she wanted it, but she asked for the one thing she knew would break both their hearts: Her and her sister's freedom. If it would make Flow happy Scourge would do it. He could have easily lied to Flow that he was lying when he said he would give her one wish, but he could not bear to lie to his beloved Flow so he told all the Twoleg place cats that Flow and Thaw were so annoying that he banished them. Flow promised she would visit him. The only cat beside him, Flow and Thaw that knew the truth was his most trusted follower Stone. (Stone died before the fight for the forest territories)

"Take me, to Thaw and whoever else your talking about." Scourge said in a superior tone, even though he was confused and even a bit anxious to know who else had come. When he got to the ally were Thaw was he saw who else had come. Two kits stood shivering next to Thaw, one black/brown tom with a ginger tail tip and one white she-cat with silver paws. "where is Flow" Scourge choked out. "Shes... I'm so sorry, Scourge, she did not make it, but I have good news these are you and her kits" Thaw said in a bittersweet tone. "I... I... I... I don't know what to say... but," Scourge said, "if they are my kits then I love them, but war is coming between me and my mouse brained neighbors: the forest cats. So I will take them to a place I know is safe" Scourge said, using a paw to hug his kits close. "Are ya papa mi?" one of the kits mewled. "Yes," Scourge said proudly, "Yes I am."
