[glow=black,2,300][shadow=black,left]What have I become....?[/shadow][/glow]
My name, you ask? I am Shade, Shade the loner.
How old am I? Well, let's see here... I think I'm ten moons, if I remember correctly.
My gender? Well, it must be pretty obvious, but I'll say it anyway. I'm a tom.
My alliance? Heh, I thought you'd ask. But no, I have none. A loner at heart, I am.
My rank? ..I suppose, since I'm a loner, I have none. But who needs silly ranks, anyway?
My appearance? Oh, yes, you want to hear about my dashing looks, huh? Well, I'll tell you. I am proud to be a strong, muscular cat with long claws and tail. My tail is smooth and quick, and my ears are short and pointed at the tips. Sounds great so far, doesn't it? Well, being this good looking is a blessing, and a curse. I am very lean, but don't my thinness fool you! I'm as strong as any 'warrior' I hear cats speak of. My fur is short all over, making me lighter than those long-haired cats, I mean, have you seen those cats? They're giants! Anyway, my paws are quite large, and boy can they slip me up sometimes. But they can be useful, in battle, for instance. Ha! I've made myself a legend with these paws and claws of mine. My fur is the color of obsidian-- A dark black color deeper than even that of charcoal. My eyes are a deep, reddish copper color, looking more like the color of blood. If only you could see the looks on cats faces when they meet my eyes! I bet they had nightmares for moons! I also have a few scars here and there... Okay, maybe more than a few. I have long claw-marks down my shoulder, and one of my ears has a large tear in it. My tail is shredded at the tip, and there's a long scar on my chest. That was a close one, I'll tell you. Where did I get these, you ask? None of your business!
My personality? Geez, you sure ask a lot of questions. This ones kind of tough... I'll try my best, though. It's not that often that I get visitors... Anyway, I'm a pretty cold cat at heart. You wouldn't guess that by the way I'm treating you, would you? No matter, I barely ever show emotions at all. It seems as though the compassion and love in my soul has been wiped out-- Replaced with thoughts of anger and revenge. Do I sounds cold now? Probably so. I hate being around other cats, with their happy stories and happy lives... Ugh! Just thinking of it makes my pelt bristle. Oh, sorry, I wasn't pointing that directly at you. My mind can take over me sometimes, and believe me, you don't want to see that. All the anger inside will spill out, and I'll go crazy in anger! Do I sound scary? Of course I do! You're shaking in your pelt! Calm down-- All you have to do is stay on my good side... If anyone dares taunt me with my past-- Well, you know what will happen. To Dark forest with them! That's exactly where they'll go... Under my own claws.
What do I like? Hmm... There isn't much to like for me, but I'll try. I like satisfaction-- Whether it's proving someone wrong, or showing someone they can't torture me. They find out just how strong I am with my claws in their necks! Sorry, I'm getting off topic. One more thing, huh? Well.. I guess I kind of like night. I can prowl around and stalk my enemies in silence, then... I strike!
My hates? Ah! All too many to list, my friend, but I'll tell you a few. Other cats! Again, not directed at you. All they do is talk about their happy lives, and brush off mine. I've suffered in one moon more than They had in their whole lives! And to think I've been alive Ten moons... It just makes me mad. I also hate other animals. They're one of the sources of my suffering, and they knew what they were doing. They loved to see me cry out in pain-- But little did they know that was their last day alive! I also have a hate for water--Terrible substance, it is. Used for nothing more than killing off things slowly and painfully... It makes my skin crawl!
My strengths? Yes! I've been waiting for this moment this whole time! I'm definitely good at sneaking around. My enemies walk by, not knowing I'm lying in wait, about to strike... I'm also great at killing. Sounds cruel, yes, but I wasn't about to let cats get in my way. Not to mention other animals. What? Are you in my way? No, you aren't. Calm down, if I was going to kill you, I would've done it already. Let's see... What else? Oh yes! I'm great at climbing and tunneling-- Another form of sneaking in my case.
My weaknesses? Are you plotting something? No? Good. I would like to say I have none, but that is one of my weaknesses. I cannot tell a lie-- Well, I can, but I sound like I'm lying. That is such a huge problem... But if I widen my eyes a bit, most cats will believe me. What's that? No, I'm not lying now! Just be quiet and listen. Let's see.. Oh yes! As I said in my hates, I cannot swim. Sadly, I found this out the hard way. Ugh.. Boy was that awful! Let's see... What else...? Pressure.. Pressure! That's it. When my past goes into it, along with my anger.. I freeze up.. Trauma maybe? I don't know..
My... My history? You really want to know? ...Okay, but don't blame me if you get scared and run off halfway through. Here's how it happened...
The forest was dead silent, set in a moonless night above the trees. A choking cough sounded once, then twice. "You can't do it.." A green eyed cat rasped under the small toms claws. "Shade, you're weak! You can't kill me." "I can!" Shade snarled. "I can kill you! I will kill you!" "Oh, Shade..." The cat grinned savagely. "Your mother told you not to kill, didn't she? The poor she-cat... Whatever happened to her?" Shade's gaze narrowed in a silent scream of fear the welled up within him. He snapped out of his thoughts and dug his claws into the cats shoulders. "Don't give me that, you fox-heart! You killed her!" "Oh, really?" The cat meowed casually. "Are you sure about that? As I recall, I saw you on top on her that one day--" He cut off with a choking noise as Shade's paws pressed on his throat. Shade stood frozen on top of him, his eyes wide and scared. "No." He whispered. "You.. Killed my mother..." A scream escaped him as his frozen body was thrown off the tom with claws raking through his shoulder. He landed on the hard ground, a gasp of pain escaping him. "Well well well..." The cat hissed. "Look at Shade, the little weak tom who couldn't save his mother..." His claws broke the skin on the back of his neck. "Looks like you'll be joining her, Shade. I told you you couldn't kill me--" A scream escaped the tom as Shade's claws whipped up and dug deep into his throat. Shade stared into the eyes of the tom, his gaze narrowed and angry. The toms green eyes lit up in fear, his terrified gaze locking with his for a moment before going dim in death. The tom collapsed to the ground, blood pooling under him. "That's... What... You get..." Shade gasped, continuing to claw the dead tom. "You killed... You killed her..." He cried softly. "Now no one has to worry about you... Killing them.. Again..." He dashed into the forest, tears streaming down his face.
This isn't my first. :)
