“Yes. I am ashamed that I ever raised you,” replied Tigro.
“And I am too. You do not belong in the Streak.” Silver agreed.
Blite felt beyond betrayed. “I hate you! I hate all of you! You’re cowards! Cowards, I tell you! You’re fools to think I’m weak, I’m stupid, that I don’t belong! I’m just like you!” he screamed.
Howskie and Lichest stepped forward in front of their Tiger Parents and growled at Blite. “Mother and Father tiger are right. You should get out of here right now!”
Blite looked at Flora, waiting for her to say something. She is the leader of the Streak! She wouldn’t throw out a cub! he thought. Flora caught him looking at her and bared her teeth.
“Blite, I have no defense moves for you. I can’t say anything more except that I sentence you into exile, Blite. You do not belong here. Go and find other black-and-white tigers if you please. And you may take Chara with you, as she is not our responsibility. Do you have any last words before you leave? And if you get scented on our territory, you will be killed,” she snarled.
Blite stared in shock, his mind whirling. His eyes blazed with fury as he looked at Flora. “I can’t believe you. Any of you! You are fools. Bullies. You will pay for what you’ve done to me. You’ll all pay! I will be back, stronger than ever! You will never see me coming! Chara, come on, let’s leave this group of weaklings.” He bounded back into the forest, Chara close behind him, and left the Streak forever.
I vow to get my revenge. I will be so strong, they will regret they ever even said a word to me without my permission! They will want me back in the Streak, a big, powerful, not-able-to-die tiger. They will want me back to protect all of them, they would beg, but I would refuse. I will kill the Streak one day. Possibly worse than that. I will make them miserable! I will be the leader of every creature! Not even no-furs will be able to hunt me down with their deathrays! he thought, savoring the moment.
“Chara, I will get my revenge one day, when I am big and strong! I meant what I said,” he snarled. Chara bowed her head. “And I believe you, Blite. Now, what should we do?” she asked.
“We need to find new territory, and a whole army of tigers for me! If I am to be the most powerful creature to live, I need guards, tigers who respect me, tigers who would never leave me. I will become so strong, not even the Great Tiger will be able to touch me!” Blite growled.
Chara nodded, smiling. “Yes, Blite, you will be so powerful!” she exclaimed. “But for now, we need to find a whole new forest.”
They stalked through the Streak’s territory, snapping branches and crackling leaves, trying to scare off all the prey. Let them go hungry! Like I care! Blite thought. He and Chara prowled through the forest, all the way until black-sky came. They were way beyond the territory by then, but they would continue their journey at pink-sky.
“Good night, King Blite,” Chara mumbled as they found an overhang under a shady tree, perfect to sleep for black-sky.
“Night,” he murmured, then closed his eyes as sleep engulfed him.
