[fancypost bordercolor=transparent; width: 450px][justify][font=georgia]Sweeney was no monster.
Not one like those told in children's stories, that is. He wasn't a werewolf, wasn't a demon, wasn't a cryptid. He was a simple feline, possessing no powers or unearthly abilities. He simply was. Of course, there was a deeper, more cynical thing laying dormant inside of him. Something that he had only recently discovered. Something that wouldn't have existent had he not had his life stripped from him. If he still had his daughter and wife, he would be perfectly normal. He would be happy. He would give anything to be like that again.
But when he was exiled for a crime he didn't commit and sent away for 15 months, something inside of him snapped. He had been driven mad by grief and misery. His cause wasn't helped when he discovered his wife had succumbed -- or rather, passed from her own hands. If only he had been there to protect her from that godforsaken Judge... He would still have her, still be able to see his beloved's face and cradle his daughter in his arms.
Sweeney wasn't always like this -- callous and cold, shutting the world out. No, he used to be full of life. But now, in lieu of recent events, he had become completely numb. The sole reason he was alive was so he could find that Turpin and make him pay. He wanted that vulture of the law to feel all the pain he felt, wanted to make him suffer. And if that made him a monster, then so be it.
Black eyes slid open at the sound of a piercing screech. He hadn't been sleeping, as that was a luxury he could not afford. His eyes had bruised bags under then, a sign that sleep was not his friend. He knew that he couldn't just leave a clanmate in need, however much he wanted to, so he picked himself up and followed the sound. He traced the scream back to the medicine cat den and sighed; it wasn't uncommon for screaming to come from inside, he supposed, but he still found his way in. It probably wasn't his job to help, but he was curious at this point. He found the rather frantic-looking female, and furrowed his brow. He didn't recognize her, so didn't know the wings or elongated teeth were new.
"What happened?" He asked, voice hushed.
