It was dark I couldn't see. I was still in shock but I layed down and was trying to sleep. I already knew that it was impossible. I lay there for three hours but pass out from staying up so late.

' Ashfur!Ashfurrr' a soft but evil purr I can hear is coming from my right but I cant move.
' Ohhh Ashfur my loveee!' The voice echos around the small room Im in. Im trapped. Strapped down on a metal table. Pain was in my left arm and I came see its covered in blood and half cut open.
'Ashsss!' The voice hissed. A small figure steppes out from the darkness. It was a black cat with one white paw. Scourge?
'Scourge!' I tried to say. But Instead a gurgle came out.
'Shh' he coo's walking towards me. He pats my cheek and then grins evilly at me. He walks to table and picks up a razor blade and turns around suddenly and I try and scream as I realize blood is gushing from his eyes then he drops the blade and breaks down in a panic. I wish i could have run up and helped him. I look painfully at him he screeches in pain. Then he dropped dead in a pool of blood.
'Good riddance' a voice said behind me. My right arm is now free. So is my head. I turn to see my savior and to my surprise it was scourge saved me.
'But? What? How are you alive?" I question.
'Oh that thing? That's not me. Its a fear-shifter. It changes in to anything you fear. The only thing that can destroy it is someone or something you love.' He smile happily and pulled me out of my shackles and he kissed me sweetly on the forehead. The pain had been completely lost and I smile and the small dark room I was in dissolved and now I was in a white forest scourge at my side. The white world fades from my mind and I'm back.

I open my eyes. I'm tangled up in my blankets and I was panting and covered in a sticky cool sweat. I look at my clock 6:40 was the time. I pull myself out of the straight jacket my blankets have made themselves in to and I go to my window and open it thanking the cool morning breeze. The sun was just rising and I linger there watching the beautiful warm colours and the warm heat on my fur. I yawn and get ready for school. School! Scourge! I don't care if he is a killer or not I loved him so I wasn't going to give up on him. Because he's all I have. I got ready quickly and I ran down stairs and I put two pieces of toast in the toaster and then started packing my lunch and added I little bit more so me and scourge could share. The toast pops and I run over and put nutella on it and shoveled it in my face and muffled a good bye to my parents and I leave out the door thanking my self that I did the homework the other day. I finish my toast and enter the school. Ugh high school sucks its loud and large. I walk over to my locker and check my schedule: English language arts first then Art then Geography class Math then lunch. Meh okay I guess. I look at my phone 7:30 classes start in ten minutes. I pull up my binders and close my locker and was about to leave until two furry arms grab me from behind.

"Hey there." Scourge breaths hotly in my ear I blush madly and I turn around and we are almost kissing.

"Hows it going there Mr. Scourge?" I ask giggling.

"Ah it is going wonderful Sir Ashfur!"he laughs making a weird accent. We laugh together. After laughing like weirdo's we decide to walk around the school for the remaining minutes. We are holding hands and we get more then a few stares and gross looks. The bell ring's and we head for class. Scourge sighs and kisses my cheek and heads off to his first class which was math. I drag my binders to English and sit in the back of the class room and the rest of the class files in. Squirrelflight being one of them. She looks at me menacingly and I realize that she had a guy beside her he had dark brown fur and darker tabby marks and dark amber eyes. He also looked alot stronger then me, his paws looked massive and Squirrelflight seemed to be hanging off him but he didn't care. Brambleclaw. His name was brambleclaw...eh I remember him. He alway seemed to like squirrelflight. I guess they are dating...ugh fuck them. Just...just ignore them. I glance out the window and I jump when someone pokes my shoulder. I turn around to look at them. It was a brown cat with a white muzzle and darker brown tabby markings she had wide yellow-green eyes.

"Um can I sit here?" She asked pointing to the seat beside me.

"Uh yeah." I reply awkwardly. She sits down and pull's a book from her bag. The title reads : How to mend broken bones.

"Whats your name?" I ask.

"Leafpool." She responds with her face much to close to that book then a normal cat. But leafpool. God I'm an idiot... she was squirrelflights sister. Also she was the school sorta nurse thing.

"Oh." Was all I could reply.

"Don't worry I'm not like her." She said peeling her eyes from the book. I smile slightly. "Really. We are kinda fighting right now. So if she slightly more bitchy that's my fault..." she grins. I laugh. Ok that made my day!

"Niceee!" I complement her oddness.

"I know right!" The teacher came in and the class starts. Nearing the end of class leafpool jab's me with a pencil.

"Ow...what?" I say rubbing my arm.

"Look!" She points out the window. Outside was a small scruffy gray cat wearing almost rags. But the odd thing was that she was holding a knife. Her bright blue eyes pierced my soul. She grinned madly and I saw yellowing fangs. Oh god. There was blood on the knife and her face. I turned to leafpool her eyes full of horror.

"What the hell was that!?" She asked.

"I...I don't know!" I glance out the window again, it was gone.

"It its gone..." I stutter.

"Oh my god...that thing was freaking terrifying." The bell to change subjects sounded and we got up. I went to art and we were doing painting. I went and picked out black, bright blue, and purple.

But still the odd cat with a knife stayed in my mine until lunch.

\(^0^)/ Lunch.

"Ok that was right and your done!" I finished quizzing Leafpool on her medical test on our way to lunch. Luckily me and scourge had the same lunch break. But me and leafpool had started becoming friends over our love for books and our hate for squirrelflight.

"Ok awesome! Wait lets go this way its a shortcut!" Leafpool smiles. Oh yeah I remember this way now I don't know why I didn't before. We walked almost silently to the cafeteria. But before we got there leafpool said

"Do you smell that?"she scrunches up her nose and frowns in disgust. She was right an odd smell of rotting meat was drafting from one of the un-used class rooms.

"Its coming from there..." I walk forward to the door; it was slightly open. I have a bad feeling about this. I pushed it open. My eyes widen and leafpool let's out a shriek of terror. A black cat with wide yellow in a blaze of terror. It was hanging from a noose and a large knife puncture was in its chest. A note was beside the dead cat I hesitantly reach for it and pick it up and read it out loud.

"It begins?"I read. "That's what the note said."I turn to leafpool she was on the ground shaking and screaming. I go to her and try to calm her down. I now can hear footsteps of teachers. As the teacher enters the room I hear a gasp.

"Help me please." I had started shaking and then passed out.
