"Hey, buddy. Are you okay?" Daemongeist suddenly called out, ignoring Crimson's taunt and the fur on his tail bristling slightly in fear. Cats did not usually have golden eyes that seemed so...vibrant. It was unnatural. And, furthermore, Daemongeist was scared that it was a Clanmate and he'd been caught. There would certainly be a punishment for aiding a loner like this...stealing herbs, no less.
But none of his Clanmates had golden eyes such as these.
Then, the cat stepped out into view and out from the shadows. And, only then, could Daemongeist see what it was.
It was a cat, or at least it had been. Its pelt was gray with patchy spots where the fur had been torn away and its ears were shredded to almost nonexistance. Its eyes were a bright golden and staring directly at the tom cat and the she-cat on the ground. Its jaw hung slightly askew from its skull and part of the skin had been ripped off, exposing the reddish muscle tissue underneath. Its tongue lolled sideways from the jaw, though the cat seemingly felt no pain. On the side of its neck there was a massive gash where the skin had been torn away, even exposing bone. There was no way someone could survive an injury like that. But the jaws...a cat had done this.
"Wh-what?" Daemongeist breathed, taking a step back and towards Crimson. "What are you...? Crimson--"
The cat, without warning, gave an animal-like snarl and suddenly jerked towards the pair. Without hesitation, Daemongeist shot in front of Crimson to protect her and the cat crashed into him, knocking the both of them over. He hit the ground hard, the spikey grass prickling into his thick pelt. And above him, barely being fended off with his paws, the cat's mangled jaws snapped inches from his face. Daemongeist let out a wild cry and kicked upwards, flinging the cat backwards several feet. It hit and lay there for several moments, unmoving. And, in that time, Daemongeist had gotten up and shot over to the shape, slamming his paws down on its shoulders to hold it down. The cat growled and made unintelligible noises below him. It was not...it wasn't alive.
"F-foxdung." Daemongeist cursed, panting and standing over the cat. "I-I can't believe it. Wha...?"
ME GO, YOU STAY.
